that mega doses of vitamin C doesn’t
prevent colds for most people. Some
studies suggest it might help you get
over the symptoms a little faster. But
it won't make them less severe.
Can Vitamin C ward off a cold?
It's important to get enough B12 since
too little of it can cause anemia,
memory loss, confusion, and tingling in
your arms and legs. But little evidence
shows taking it makes you a better
athlete or gives you more energy. A
diet that includes meat, fish, or dairy
products should be enough for that.

9. RECOMMENDATIONS:VITAMIN INTAKE
 The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for vitamins reflect how much of each vitamin people should get
each day
 The amount of vitamins depends on your age and gender. Other factors such as pregnancy and health is also
important
 Dietary supplements are another way to get the vitamins you need if the food you eat is not supplying enough
vitamins. Supplements can be helpful during pregnancy and for special medical problems.
 If you take supplements, DO NOT take more than 100% of the RDA. Be very careful about taking large amounts
of fat-soluble vitamin supplements -- vitamins A, D, E, and K. Because these vitamins are stored in fat cells, they can
build up in your body and may cause harmful effects.
