There are so many multivitamin supplements on the market; what criteria should be used in making an appropriate choice?
Check the label to be sure: * the product contains 12 vitamins (vitamin K is not permitted in such products); * the amount of each vitamin is approximately equivalent to 1-3 times the Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI) (refer to table on the inside back cover); * the product does not contain substances that are not recognised nutrients; * the expiry date has not passed. If an iron supplement is also needed, choose a multivitamin with iron rather than using a separate supplement.
