the answer is NO- if your eating right- then no need for supplements.

Re: should i be taking vitamins or any supplements?

the answer is YES. It is known that it's almost impossible to intake everyday's needed nutrition correctly....even tho you eat healthy. Do some search, then it becomes obvious.

Re: should i be taking vitamins or any supplements?

There is a book called Doctor Yourself by Andrew Saul that has good general recommendations that I like. It's written in a fun to read style, too. I used to think that just eating a sensible diet was enough until my son became schizophrenic and now we are having good results treating him with vitamins and diet but if he had been on supplements maybe he wouldn't have had the problem in the first place so I have turned around 180 degrees on that one and now we all take them. Besides that, we have discovered that vitamin C plus niacin really helps and sometimes completely eliminates my husband's asthma symptoms.
