Don't forget to take calcium - this is the only vitamin my excellent Doctor recommends, besides a multivitamin. I got vitamins for women at Costco , just because they have a lot of calcium and you don't have to take 2 pills that way.

I agree with Traveller and Knotted - there was a great article in the NY Times last month about how we really absorb vitamins, exactly as Traveller describes.

There is a lot of hype about all different kinds of vitamins and supplements, and very little science that backs it up. Good for you for being a careful consumer .
