You probably don't need a general vitamin-mineral supplement if you are eating a reasonably varied diet most of the time, aren't restricting calories to lost weight, and generally don't skip meals. This doesn't mean you have to be a "perfect eater" - no one is!

Some women take a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement as sort of an "insurance policy" if they can't be sure they are eating well a lot of the time. But keep in mind that a supplement can never make up for eating poorly. And a multiple vitamin mineral supplement is just that; it can't provide your needed protein, energy, carbohydrates, nor fiber. Only food can give you these needed nutrients. Recommendations for daily calcium intake for young people from 19 to 24 years old are around 1200 mg. What does this mean in terms of food? You need to get the equivalent of four 8-oz.servings of dairy products or calcium-fortified equivalent foods per day. That may be quite a challenge, so i encourage you to try for at least 3 servings, and then add a calcium supplement. Iron, vitamin C and folate are good choices for you, too.

WOW you are 19 you dont need to take anything, i dont understand why people are so vitamin happy. as long as you are eating 3 healthy balanced meals a day with a snack or two you are getting enough of what your body needs. unless you are a marathon runner then you would consider taking supplements but other than that stay away from them unless reccommended by a doctor. (just my opinion on supplements)

I think all you need is some multivitamins, a good diet and exercise. You're 19 and your metabilism is probably still quite high. Just make sure that you dont take it for granted coz weight can sneak up on you if you;re not wary.
