I am very conscious about eating a varied diet. However, I still take a multivitamin for people over 50, as cheap insurance. I take vitamin D, which is often recommended for Canadians as we don’t tend get as much sun. I also take Omega-3 oil because I can’t imagine anything more terrifying than developing dementia. That said, from research I’ve seen, I suspect I’m wasting my money. I stopped taking calcium as a hedge against osteoporosis, which my mother suffered from, after longitudinal studies showed it had no protective benefit.
