FAQs

Are personalised vitamins worth it? ›

Personalized vitamins may be worth it if you have specific nutrient deficiencies or medical conditions that require additional vitamin supplementation, explains Dr. Kim.

We recommend you consume our products within four months from the date you placed your order unless indicated by an EXP or BEST BY date directly on the product. Outside of this date does not equate that the product is spoiled.

The researchers concluded that multivitamins don't reduce the risk for heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline (such as memory loss and slowed-down thinking) or an early death. They also noted that in prior studies, vitamin E and beta-carotene supplements appear to be harmful, especially at high doses.

Bottom line: Most vitamins are considered safe for up to two years past their expiration date (unless they contain mold), but may become less potent over time. Pregnant women and people in need of regular supplementation due to deficiency should talk to their doctor before relying on expired vitamins.

The short answer is that for most patients, we believe that if you're eating a balanced diet, one that includes whole grains, a variety of vegetables and fruits, adequate lean protein, and dairy products, there is no need for a multivitamin.

Cheaper supplements may also comprise inferior, less active or less potent forms of nutrients. For example, Vitamin B12 comes in three forms; the most absorbable form is methylcobalamin. Cheaper supplements use cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form of B12 that has been known to cause nausea, upset stomach and headache.

What happens to your body when you start taking vitamins? ›

Summary. When you start taking vitamins, you should expect to experience the following benefits - your energy levels will increase, more food will be converted into energy, your short-term memory will improve, your immune system will become stronger, your muscles will become stronger, and your skin will look healthier.

Not necessarily. What's far more important is making sure you're getting the correct dose and choosing only the vitamins that your body needs. According to Mayo Clinic, each vitamin and mineral has a recommended dietary allowance -- the recommended amount you should take daily depending on your age and gender.

If you are deficient in a specific vitamin or mineral or have an increased need due to lifestyle or health factors, then the amount of that nutrient in a one-size-fits-all multivitamin might not be sufficient for your particular needs. This is where individual vitamin and mineral supplements can be beneficial.

When it comes to choosing the right vitamins, price doesn't matter. The label is what is the most important. If you're considering a vitamin supplement, read the label and compare information as well as ingredients. Some vitamins -- even the expensive ones -- may contain more fillers than the actual ingredient.

David Lortscher, dermatologist and founder of Curology, agrees that food is the best route. “Supplements are not necessary for achieving healthy skin. The most conservative advice is to obtain beneficial vitamins and minerals from a healthy diet,” he said.
