Multivitamins are a great way to enhance your health and vitality and prevent disease. Unfortunately vitamins do not accumulate in your body so a regime of multivitamin therapy is something you commit to doing for life, not just until the bottle is empty.

Pick a multivitamin that does as much for you in a single dose as you can. Pick an affordable one and also a brand that will be easy to replenish. New habits are as hard to form if they are difficult, just like old habits are hard to break, so make sure your vitamin routine is sustainable. Multivitamins can be purchased through a monthly or quarterly subscription service.

The multivitamin company will automatically bill and ship your new supply in time for the previous month’s bottle to run out. You’ll know you’ve missed a few servings if the extras start to pile up. Stocking up on multivitamins is also a good idea. Many manufacturers will sell a three month supply at a discount price over the one month at a time price and the postage savings if you buy on line can be tremendous.

Don’t stock up too far ahead as multivitamins can go stale, especially those using natural ingredients. Three months is a good minimum stocking time and maybe six months if you buy from a company that sells a lot of multivitamin products and provides date codes on the multivitamin bottles.
