Dr. Low Dog:
10-30% of patients with depression have low folate levels and also, we know if you give somebody an antidepressant and they have low folate that you are not going to get a very good treatment response, so, you know, and you need vitamin Es and antioxidants and I mean so there’s this whole variety of things that you need in a multivitamin that you may not be getting adequately in your diet.
So I would say most women need a multivitamin, and then I think it really comes down to looking at her individual, her diet, her own medical needs, what her constitution is, her likelihood of getting a particular condition, and then she needs to gauge the responsible use of dietary supplements based on that.
