Multivitamin mineral supplements are dietary supplements that contain unique combinations of vitamins, minerals, or both, with each nutrient helping to meet a dietary need. For most people, a multivitamin isn't necessary since they get enough from food, but for some, like older adults, people who are experiencing low appetite or difficulty eating a balanced diet, from an illness or even pregnancy, a multivitamin can help fill in nutrition gaps. What happens to your body when you take a multivitamin every day? You may have better immune function. You might experience gastrointestinal symptoms. You may boost your energy levels. You might have a healthier pregnancy. You may be less anxious. You might have sharper brain function. So, benefits and side effects can vary, but for some, it is essential.
