Because it can be difficult to consume five daily servings of vegetables and fruits, few of us get all the nutrition we need from our diet. An analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) study data estimates that nearly one-third of the U.S. population is at risk of developing one or more micronutrient deficiencies. Therefore, a daily multi-vitamin/mineral supplement is more important than many people realize.

According to a survey published in JAMA Internal Medicine, 32% of U.S. adults take a multi-vitamin/mineral. The leading reason given was to improve overall health. Groups with a particular risk for nutrient deficiencies and who can benefit from a multi include teenagers, athletes, the elderly, individuals on a restrictive diet, those who have a chronic disease, and individuals taking medications that cause nutrient deficiencies as a side effect.

A good multi-vitamin/mineral supplement could be considered “dietary insurance” to be certain all essential nutrients are consumed daily. Even greater health benefits can be realized when a healthy diet is combined with a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.

Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.

Interactions

As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided.

5-methyltetrahydrofolate supplementation is not recommended concurrently with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate’s anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
