Best Multivitamin for Women?

[shootingstar]

I've been told that a balanced diet is better than taking broadscale supplements, something about the ratios, and the way the body absorbs them, so that one should only take multivitamins if you know that your diet is poor or lacking in certain things.

I have been told this by 2 different family physicians. Sure, I've lacked abit of iron at different times in life, so I was on iron supplements for a short time period. Now off the supplements. Better I should pay attention to range of my food intake and their nutrients.

I get a cold once annually or less. I did go through a time where I had a cold once every 2-3 yrs., but I know with age this type of resistance wasn't going to be forever.

I've never taken a vitamin C supplement in my life. I will if the doctor recommends it.
I'm actually eating abit more fish now that I am living on the West Coast and fish is fresher here & better priced.
