Do you eat at least 3 1-ounce servings of whole grains such as whole-grain bread, cereal, pasta, brown rice or oats a day?
Do you eat at least 3 8-ounce servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy products such as low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt or cheese a day?
Do you eat at least 5 ounces of protein such as lean meat, chicken, turkey, fish, beans, beans, lentils or peas a day?
Do you eat at least 2 cups of fruit such as apples, blueberries, melon, oranges, bananas and pears a day?
Do you eat at least 2-3 cups of vegetables such as leafy greens, pumpkin, bell peppers, onions, broccoli, mushrooms and carrots a day?

If you answered yes to all 5 questions, you may not need supplementation. However, if you did not you may need some vitamins. Make an appointment with you doctor to discuss supplementation. Do your own research; there are numerous new studies out about vitamin requirements.
