Patients Who Take Multivitamins Should Get One Tailored To Age, Gender.

“Well” blog reported that there is a “rationale for having sex-specific vitamins,” according to Jeffrey B. Blumberg, a professor of nutrition science and policy at Tufts University, because the multivitamins have “recommended dietary allowances” that differ considering gender and age. However, “many experts question whether you need to take a multivitamin at all,” even though there is “wide agreement that some people should take a daily multivitamin, including pregnant women and nursing mothers, people on a heavily restricted diet, and those with a known nutrient deficiency.” http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/12/09/do-men-and-women-need-separate-multivitamins/?_r=0
