For the most part, if your diet is super you don't need to supplement other that a multi-vitamin. That's the easy but not guite complete answer. :) -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.

If you check the label of a cheap generic brand multi vit and a more expensive one,you will see that the amount of each vitamin/mineral will match almost exactly..so in most cases you are just paying for the name of the expensive supplement.. The only other supplement I take is flax oil
