Although taking an iron tablet everyday is a necessity for me due to my anemia, I also take several other supplements including the multivitamin tablets from Tesco, mainly because I'm a bit of a health freak! I take one of these a day along with my other supplements and I have mine after my breakfast as it's advised that the tablets should not be taken on an empty stomach. Each tablet contains twelve essential vitamins and minerals which according to Tesco are for 'optimum health.' The ingredients includes vitamins A, C, D, E, B1, B2, B6 and B12. The tablets also contain folic acid, niacin and pantothenic acid. These are only available from Tesco ...  Read the complete review

After recently having a few dizzy spells at work due to exhaustion, it really made me worry about my health. I am young but still I was overworking myself and not eating as well as I should be. This made me think that a good option to keep my iron and health levels up would be to take multivitamins.

The debate rages on about whether we actually need to take vitamin supplements, with convincing arguments from both sides. Some experts say that we get adequate vitamins from our diet, and that too many vitamin supplements can be dangerous, as certain vitamins are toxic in great quantity. The vitamin companies argue back, that many people benefit from taking extra vitamins, and that modern diets are lacking in certain nutrients.
