What vitamin/mineral supplement do you suggest?

 

I want one without iron since I'm 58 and have read that many people (men &

older women) have too much iron and this contributes to heart attacks.

 

I have read that magnesium oxide is not good for you, that magnesium citrate

is much better.

 

And I have read that calcium carbonate is harmful or not a good source of

calcium.

 

Centrum and other vitamins at regular stores all have magnesium oxide and

calcium carbonate.

 

Does anyone know of a great vitamin/mineral that isn't too expensive where

you only have to take one a day?

 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

You are looking for a magic pill that doesn't exist. The body

requires nutrients throughout the day so any quality nutritional will

recommend you take it 2 or 3 times per day.

 

In order for 1 pill to contain all a person needs in a day would mean

taking a pill that's too large to swallow.

 

Personally I prefer liquid or pills, as I've tried both and find the

liquid supplements are much more readily absorbed by the body.
