Hi there this is Monica Reinagle and you're listening to the nutrition

diva quick and dirty tips for eating well and feeling fabulous today's show is

about multi vitamins and now on with our show.

Hi, Nutrition Diva. My name is Paige and I'm calling to ask you about multivitamin.

I have heard many different stories about the health

benefits of multivitamin ranging from people saying take any multivitamin

it's they'll all do the same thing to report saying that some multiple vitamins might actually

harm me more than help me and that I need to be very careful about the combination

of supplements I take and the dosages.

So I'm hoping that you might be able to clear up the multivitamin dilemma.

Thanks very much for

my call and I hope to hear about this soon.

Thanks for your question page.

You can get a basic one-a-day multi that provides the recommended daily intake of most of the

essential nutrients for just a few cents a day.

And if your diet is typical of most Americans,

it might not be a bad idea.

Vitamin deficiencies can cause really serious problems.

Not enough vitamin C can cause scurvy, for example, and

vitamin D deficiency leads to rickets, a serious bone disease.

Too little thiamen in your diet and you'll end up with Berry, and

Pellegra is caused by Nieson deficiency.
