Vitamins

Do you take vitamins? How do you decide which ones to take? There are SO many out there.  There are vitamins for men, women, teens, and children.  But then there are a dozen types for each of those groups.  They all list such great benefits, you want a few of these and a few of those, but obviously you only need to take one vitamin.  What do you do?  And when I talked to my doctor about vitamins a few years back, he let me know that he thinks women who are of a child bearing age and have any chance of becoming pregnant should take prenatal vitamins. Why? Well actually it made sense after he told me – he said that some of the most important times for a baby is those first few weeks, months when many women don’t even know they are pregnant – this is when that little life needs those essential vitamins.  He says there is no harm to you, in fact the vitamins are good, pregnant or not.  My question this year for him will be – do they help with energy?  That’s why I think I need from a vitamin – some help with my all the time exhaustion.
