Multivitamin preparations contain a mix of vitamins which are essential to help our bodies grow, develop and function properly. Most people get the vitamins they need from the food they eat, but if you are on a special diet or if you are unable to eat a well-balanced diet (as is the case for some young children or elderly people), then you may need extra vitamins. In such cases, a doctor may prescribe a multivitamin preparation. Multivitamin preparations are also available to buy in many retail outlets.
Not all multivitamin preparations are the same. They can contain different amounts of vitamins, and different combinations of vitamins. Some multivitamin preparations also contain small amounts of minerals and trace elements.
