Roizen, With regards to vitamin supplements, do you think one multi a day does the trick?

Dr. Roizen: No, usually the multis don’t have enough Vitamin D in it (you need at least 1000 IU a day), nor do they have enough calcium and magnesium: 600 mg calcium and 200 mg of magnesium twice a day is appropriate and those should be taken at least 2 hours separate from your multi as the vitamin C in the multi inhibits calcium absorption (and if you have iron because you are in a potentially pregnant era, that iron inhibits it as well), plus 600 mg DHA.
