The only vitamin I take is folic acid and it's uses is for a number of things, but I take it because the medication I take for my epilepsy can cause damage not only to my liver but also my reproductive organs if I ever want to have children lol But I could have sworn I was anemic befor and I guess it's take care of my iron levels aswell so that was a plus, although I still bruise as easily as ever haha

I live in Canada so I'm not sure what brands you'd look for as equivalents where you are, but I use supplements that you dissolve in water, because theyre more efficiently absorbed into the body

Try visiting the health food store someone you know recommends and asking them, theyre experts in this sort of thing.

My sister is a dietician and she recommends Centrum Silver as a multivitamin for those of us over 50. I take it every day.

I'm not entirely certain but I think Centrum is owned and run by big pharma, which is trying to squeeze naturopathic remedies and other supplements off the market. If thats important to you, you might want to consider a different brand.
