What should we be looking for in our vitamins and iron?

Here is a list that my nutritionist recently provided me. It has a list of all of the vitamins we should be taking. Check your multi-vitamins, calcium and iron. Are you getting the right amounts and in the right form?

Vitamin Requirement List

I found out I wasn't taking all that I should. Some of my vitamins were the wrong amounts, some were the wrong forms.

Look at it yourself. You may be surprised to see that you aren't getting in all that you should. I certainly was.

Here is the same list but it also includes recommended amounts if you have deficiences.
