Do your homework. Research your vitamins and minerals. Also, if you are serious about taking what is right for you, go to a well-respected nutritionist. Taking the wrong pills can do damage as well as taking too many.
The AMA certified studies have shown that men and women need calcium, omega 3, folic acid, and the B-complex group. Also, avoid the hard tablets. Take capsules. A large clunky cheap calcium tablet will sit in your stomach and do you no good.
