Do you think taking multivitamin-mineral supplement is a good substitution for eating a wide variety of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables? Who should take multivitamin-mineral supplement? Explain why current regulations governing the sale of dietary supplements in this country make their use a bit risky.

A multivitamin-mineral supplement is a great way to ensure you’re getting your RDA of vits and mins, but they aren’t as beneficial as getting them from eating real foods. People who generally don’t eat a lot of food (elderly) should take a multivitamin-mineral supplement to ensure that they’re getting enough nutrients, and people who suffer from malabsorption, or other digestively challenged people (crohn’s disease patients, people with small or excused intestine) should take multivitamin-mineral supplements to help their body absorb adequate nutrients
