What is 'vitamin cocktailing'

If you understand the importance of vitamin supplementation but are confused about what to take and in what amounts, you are not alone.

A recent survey shows that nearly half of Canadians admit to being confused about which vitamins, minerals and supplements are best for them. This confusion may lead you to become a "Vitamin Cocktailer," or someone who takes a combination of vitamins or single ingredient vitamins.

Vitamin Cocktailers often have a vitamin cabinet full of different bottles that make claims to reduce or prevent various conditions. But are these cocktails providing the optimal level of key nutrients to help in the risk reduction of chronic diseases? And are vitamin cocktailers getting too much of some ingredients as they don't' realize that different products contain some of the same ingredients?

Instead of fumbling through multiple supplement bottles, choose a good multivitamin such as Centrum Advantage as the foundation piece in your vitamin cabinet. Centrum Advantage, with higher levels of key vitamins and minerals than a regular multivitamin, helps protect against certain serious illnesses.
