nutritional supplements
Apr 3, 2008

should I take nutritional supplements? im on a fixed-income (SSI) so i really only can afford the essentials. but I'm wondering if anything can help me.

Response from Mr. Vergel

Some Medicaids, ADAPs and some Medicare part D programs cover certain supplements. In NY, you can get the KPAX through those programs. If you cannot, I would take a multivitamin with every meal that contains a daily dose of 200 micrograms of selenium plus all vitamin B's. You can find some cheap ones in most grocery stores. We trust companies like Super Nutrition and Jarrow for quality control. I would concentrate on eating fruits of all colors (wide availability of antioxidants) and green leafy vegetables (they contain more vitamins than lighter green vegetables)
