Hello and welcome to ask Dr Hazel are many episodes where I answer all your burning questions.

So let's hear from this week's listener.

Hey Hazel, I wondered if you recommend taking a multivitamin as a

precautionary measure during the winter months to avoid getting sick. Thank you so much

for your question and it's a really good one and I think it seems intuitive that we should try to help support our immune system and boost our nutrition.

But do multivitamins help and the short answer is you're probably wasting your money.

Paradoxically most people take multivitamin supplements are quite health conscious anyway

and already consume a healthy balanced diet. So getting nutrients from supplements is also not the same as getting it from food.

And now it's becoming increasingly clear that food is much more than the sum of its parts and

that nutrients function better when consumed as part of a whole food rather than in

pills. Having said that, supplements can be helpful in specific situations so

supplementing with vitamin D for example in the UK during autumn and winter

is really important because we don't make enough from the sun during these months.

So maybe you want to head your bets and take a multivitamin anyway, but is it safe to do so?

Now I would say most multivitamin supplements purchased from reputable sources in the UK are unlikely to cause any adverse effects if you're taking them in the correct doses, but I have to say that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

So for example, if you're taking a multivitamin tablet which already includes vitamin D,

you don't need additional vitamin D supplements unless it's been advised by a health professional.
