When you are thinking about changing your diet, it is important to consider both a balanced diet, regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle to achieve the best results. But can multivitamins be a part of a healthy lifestyle?

For some people, multivitamins are a viable way to acquire nutrients that they would not normally be able to get from food and drink, for example individuals with a poor diet or people who live in poorer countries who cannot afford a variety of fruit and vegetables.

Mutlvitamins can be ideal when you also don’t enjoy many of the foods that contain specific vitamins, such as citrus fruits, which are known to have a high concentration of vitamin C for example. Another reason why some people are recommended taking supplements to their food is through underlying health problems that require human intervention. An iron deficiency for example can be helped by taking iron supplements, potentially preventing increase health problems later down the line.

Common vitamins found in a multivitamin tablet in include vitamin A, Vitamins B, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, all of which occur naturally in a variety of foods, but can also be combined into tablet form. It is also important to understand the origins of ingredients used in any multivitamin tablets you plan to consume, as many products in high street stores can be made cheaply overseas and resold. As with all supplements, multvitamins should not be used as a replacement for a healthy lifestyle. Instead they should be used in combination with eating well and regularly exercising to gain the most benefits.
