What Are the Problems with Some Multi Vitamins?
The answer to this question varies, depending on the source. A recent paper by researchers in Denmark and other countries in Europe says that taking any kind of vitamin might actually reduce your life expectancy.

For example, Vitamin E acts as a blood thinner, and if you are taking a prescription that already has this effect, you should be careful not to take those vitamins that contain too much. Also, certain vitamins can be contraindicated during chemotherapy. You should check with your doctor when making a choice of multi vitamins, to make sure that the brand you choose wont undo the benefits of treatment.
