Of all the vitamins&minerals on sale in a health food shop, what do you think those who work in one, will use?!
Question: I work in one, so maybe I can answer your question. My kitchen counter is covered with supplements. I don't take every one every day, but I take a lot of them.
There is no "one" that is most important. As a physician who shops in my store once said when asked which vitamin should a person take, the answer is "all of them."
Yes, healthy food is essential. But it's not enough.
The reason they are called vitamins is that they are essential to health and not made by the body...they must be gotten from our diet (except for Vitamin D which we can get partially from the sun.)
According to the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, our food has lower levels of nutrients than did the foods from 50 years ago. No matter which nutrient one looks at, today's food is lower.
There are a whole lot of really excellent products out there now. Source of Life multivitamins really work for me. I also love a product called PB-8. It's a probiotic, the best one I've ever tried.
Then there's Miracle 2000, a liquid multi-vitamin that looks horrible, but does a really good job.
Fish oil is another must. Almost everyone, as in 99% of us,
should take a fish oil supplement.
But today, with our poor diets and various health problems, we're really barely scratching the surface. I need cal/mag and St. John's wort and/or 5-HTP. Oh, and let's not forget the digestive enzymes.
Many others will probably need CoQ10, which has recently dropped in price drastically, due to a new facility in TX.
A huge percentage of people in the US, and anywhere antibiotics are popular, need to do a cleanse including one to get rid of yeast overgrowth...in women AND men.
It wouldn't surprise me if this is the #1 cause of our health problems today. It makes us fat, messes up our sinuses bigtime, promotes all sort of digestive problems, diabetes, acne, and on and on.
Without some of those supplements I mentioned previously, and a couple of strong herbs (habeneros pepper and garlic) I would have died a long time ago with Stage 4 cancer. But here I am today...cancer free.
Now here's the irony of it all. I'm home today. Left work early because I could barely walk. I've aggravated a back injury from childhood (broken bones in my back when I was one year's old that healed poorly.)
So something is gonna get ya, one way or the other. LOL!
The best to you.

Whichever one has the cutest rep, or the one with the best quality and reputable brand name.
with any supplement,you only use what you're lacking in! that's why its called a 'supplement' not a replacement for nutrients already found in a good diet,so the shop owners may take nothing if they are eating well,and not having trouble with assimilating any particular vitamin or mineral.
Next time you are in a health food shop ask them what vitamin and mineral supplement they would use.
I take OPC-3, its the most effective and potent OPC product on the market.Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are bioflavonoids (complex organic plant compounds) found in fruits, vegetables and certain tree barks that provide exceptional nutritional benefits to the human body. The three best sources of OPCs available are in Market America
