Of course, you can always Google "benefits of vitamins" to find many more reasons to take them. The difficult part, once you decide to take vitamins, is which ones to take, and how much to take. Beware of fillers, artificial coloring (FD&C this or that), talc, etc. Remember that RDA's are the minimum needed to avoid deficiencies, but may be far from optimum for good health. It's also important to make sure the ingredients are not synthetic, and are in a form you can absorb. Also important to remember is to not take some supplements by themselves, such as only calcium.
In a future post I will list what I take, and why I take it. It may not do the same for you because everyone is different.
I wish everyone a happy and healthy Holiday Season and the best of health and happiness in the new year.
