Multi-vitamins should be taken five days a week. As much as you may think you are eating a balanced diet, unless you grow your own organic foods, most Americans are not getting the proper amount of vitamins and minerals from the public food supply. American soils are depleted in nutrients and saturated with chemical pesticides and fertilizers, especially on corporate farms. Modern societies are riddled with fast foods saturated with too many choices of unhealthy foods and artificial sweetness. Convenience is more important than quality. Drive-thru fast-food services have now become a $129 billion American industry. Home deliveries, instant fulfillment, and microwaving have created a financial empire as people become less physically active.

It is merely an “insurance policy” to supplement with a natural, organic multi-vitamin and mineral at least five days a week. If you have sufficient vitamins in what you do prepare as meals, it won’t hurt to keep a good vitamin supplement available for special times of need. I recommend taking a multi-vitamin five days a week, as it is good to allow your body to rest for two days each week in order to ‘wing it’ naturally and flush out any residual build-up in the liver from foods, medications, and/or supplements.
