However, ensuring the body has its daily requirement of some vitamins and minerals (vitamin D for example) can be a challenge for many Canadians. In addition to proper nutrition, additional supplements used alongside a daily multivitamin can help achieve proper daily intake. I can take as many vitamins as I want. Health Canada outlines recommended daily intake for vitamins and minerals, as it is possible to overdose. A daily multivitamin is best to complement a healthy diet.

However, newer innovations with additional benefits are starting to enter the market. It doesn't matter when I take my multivitamin. Always read the instructions on the multivitamin label carefully. Typically, the recommendation is to take with food or a meal. If taken on an empty stomach, your body won't absorb it fully and this can result in an upset stomach. To help you remember to take your multivitamin, choose the same mealtime every day.
