Choose Quality Multivitamins

Question: How do you know if a multivitamin is of good quality?

Dr. Brownstein's Answer:

You can tell by reading labels. A good multivitamin should not contain any of the following: soy, sugars, artificial sweetners, or synthetic vtamins. Yet many common over-the-counter multivitamins include all of those substances.

A quality multivitamin product will generally require you to take three to six pills per day. Examples of good multivitamins include Biomultiplus (Biotics Research Corporation) or Optivite (for women), and Androvite (for men) from Optimox. All of these multivitamins are available at the Center for Holistic Medicine for a fair price. Beware of very inexpensive multivitamins — many times you get what you pay for!
