Pharmacist's Guide: Vitamins to Avoid and Safer Alternatives

A pharmacist named Amina advises against taking gummy vitamins, general multivitamins, and skin, hair, and nails multivitamins, citing their low nutrient content and potential for overconsumption. Instead, she recommends traditional capsules and tablets, which can be mixed with food if swallowing is difficult, and suggests focusing on solution-focused supplements that target specific health issues. For children, liquid or spray supplements are recommended as alternatives.
