Answer 1

Ans) 59)Choose one that provides a variety of vitamins and minerals (a multivitamin) rather than a supplement that provides only a single vitamin or mineral (unless your doctor has recommended that you take an individual vitamin or mineral).
Pick one that, along with the foods you eat, provides the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for each vitamin and mineral. Supplements that provide a lot more than the RDA can cause health problems. This is especially important for minerals and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. These are stored more easily in the body, and they can build up to dangerous levels.
Check the expiration date. Do not buy supplements that have expired or that will expire before you can finish the bottle.
If the supplement has the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) seal, the supplement has been tested and contains the amounts of vitamins and minerals that are listed on the label.
Check the label for other ingredients. Some supplements may contain food ingredients, such as wheat, corn, eggs, or gelatin. If you have a food allergy or are sensitive to these foods, look for supplements that don't have those ingredients.

60) vitamin D are the most common deficiencies in the United States, followed by calcium, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, magnesium, vitamin C, and folic acid.3 Let's look in detail at the top five.

61) The best Vitamin E sources are wheat germ oil, sunflower seeds and almonds. Most of the cooking oils today are fortified with Vitamin E". So load up on foods rich in vitamin E, including fruits, greens, olive oil, shrimp et al.

62) Water is the Most Important Nutrient. Nutritionists spend a lot of time discussing total digestible nutrients, minerals, crude protein and even various fractions of protein. However, we often take for granted the most important nutrient, the one required in the greatest amount by any class of livestock water.
