Where Can I Buy the Best Vitamins and Minerals?

Dear Cathy:

I always feel better after taking my multivitamin.  However, I heard you should never buy vitamins or minerals from places like Walmart.  Why is that?  Knowledge of Vitamins, Pennsylvania

Dear Knowledge of Vitamins:

You heard right!  Despite what most people think today -- that you can buy everything from Walmart, stores like Walmart has never been about quality.  You should never buy your vitamins or minerals from places like Walmart because of the quality of the vitamins or minerals, which can actually hurt you instead of helping. 

Vitamins are suppose to give you a boost of energy and provide the supplements that you did not receive from your meals.  Your goal is to take your vitamins and minerals along with your meals because like foods these are nutrients going directly into your system.

A good place to buy vitamins and minerals is at www.VitaminShoppe.com, which also has stores located in many communities.  Other places to purchase quality vitamins and minerals are at health and wholefood stores and even some grocery stores.
