We all know that a balanced diet is the best way to ensure that the body receives all the necessary nutrients on a daily basis for normal functioning. But we also know that with this fast-paced lifestyle, sometimes food alone is not enough, so we must also take vitamins approved by experts in this field, to effectively supplement our body. If you are planning to start taking vitamins in your daily life, we will pass on some advice that experts have for you, including the time at which they should be taken during the day.
Nutritionist Suman Agarwal says that taking a multivitamin can be beneficial at any age. “Anyone whose vitamin and mineral intake needs are not being met through their regular diet should see their doctor for advice and start taking a daily multivitamin,” she says.
Dr. Vishakha Shivdasani emphasizes that different vitamins are key at different times in life. “For example, pregnant women need folic acid and iron; women need iron during their monthly menstrual cycle; vegetarians are often deficient in vitamin B12; older people often need calcium; most of the population needs vitamin D all the time; etc.
Agarwal says that the multivitamin you take should contain all the B-complex vitamins to support nutrients that are commonly depleted as a result of our modern, fast-paced lifestyles. She also highlights the importance of taking minerals like zinc, selenium, iron, and calcium, along with vitamins like A, D, and E.
