Some doctors believe that you shouldn’t let your body rely on vitamins; they say you should all the vitamins you need from the food you eat. But then you have some doctors who believe that if you take a vitamin and are a women, you should be taking womens vitaminsas these vitamins are made just for women with the essential ingredients a women needs. I think with the vast opinions on this subject its best to ask your doctor or pharmacist if you need vitamins and which one is best from you.
