Do you take a daily multivitamin?

It is not something I have ever done, but after a recent visit to the doctor and on discovering my iron levels were very low, I took the advice given and bought some today.

So, anyone else take them on a daily basis?

Do they taste like bacon?

Because if they don't taste like bacon you are seriously missing out.

Why would you need a vitamin supplement with an iron deficiency? Surely it'd just be an iron supplement?

I've just started taking a b complex,it's meant to be good for lots of things that I could do with.and my diet isn't hugely varied so I could probably do with it.but I should really have checked up if I do need it first.

Oh and you can get sick from hypervitaminosis,so it's best not to take all these things full of extra vitamins if you don't need it

I take a Vitamin B complex and a lutein supplement. There's AMD and dementia in my extended family.
