Multivitamin Review

• Examine the label of a jar of multivitamins—either one that you
currently take or one that is sold in a store. Using Tables 8.2 and 8.3,
and Tables 9.1 and 9.6, determine if the multivitamin would meet the
recommended daily intake for adults for vitamins and minerals. Relate
the vitamin and mineral amounts in the multivitamin to your diet. What
are some of the benefits you stand to receive by taking it every day?
Does taking a multivitamin every day raise your intake of a particular
vitamin or mineral to near-toxic levels? What are the consequences of
toxicity?

• Post a 200- to 300-word response discussing your findings.
