\"VitaSelect\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not up-to-speed on which vitamins I should be taking. \u00a0Doesn’t a multi-vitamin take care of it all? \u00a0But if you think of it, how can one multi-vitamin take care of all the needs of a person who is pregnant, versus one who is nursing, versus one who is pre-menopausal, versus one who is menopausal? \u00a0Or how about someone who has a Iron deficiency due to Anemia or a genetic disposition to intestinal or bone weakness?<\/p>\n

As our bodies goes through different stages, so does our need for different levels of nutrients. \u00a0Sometimes we may need to supplement our vitamin regiment\u00a0due to these stages, new diagnosis, ailments, etc.<\/p>\n

Walmart.com’s VitaSelect<\/span><\/h2>\n

To get a better understanding of vitamins, minerals, or supplements I should consider taking, I visited the VitaSelect section of Walmart.com. \u00a0VitaSelect gives you the opportunity to take a quick survey and based on your answers, it will give you a priority list of recommended products.<\/p>\n

\"Vitaselect<\/a><\/p>\n

First, you’re given a 19 question survey that takes only 1-2 minutes to complete. \u00a0Immediately afterwards, you will receive your suggestions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Vitaselect<\/a><\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, VitaSelect\u00a0recommended that I take more vitamins in addition to the daily multi-vitamin. \u00a0And I’m not at all surprised by the Vitamin D recommendation. \u00a0In fact, earlier this year my doctor called me about my blood test results and said I was very low in Vitamin D. \u00a0He wanted me to begin taking it right away.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a> \"Acidophilus<\/a><\/p>\n

I love that each suggestion tells you a synopsis\u00a0about the vitamin after clicking on the +Learn more link. \u00a0The description tells you what the vitamin is important as well as important allergy info. such weather there is milk, gluten, soy, or added preservatives contained in the formula.<\/p>\n

\"Walmart<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on these VitaSelect recommendations, I visited my local Walmart to pick up\u00a0these what I needed. \u00a0I already am using a multi-vitamin and Vitamin D (on most days). \u00a0Vitamins I needed ranged from $4.50 up to $12, dependent upon the vitamin and how many capsules in the bottle. \u00a0As you can see from this\u00a0picture, Walmart carries a large selection of vitamins, minerals, and supplements. \u00a0Everything is stocked in alphabetical order, so finding the vitamins wasn’t too hard.<\/p>\n

How are you doing on your vitamin regiment? \u00a0Take the\u00a0VitaSelect survey<\/a> to see how you can support optimal health in your life. \u00a0And while you’re there, find out more information about vitamins from Walmart’s Vitamins Wellness Center<\/a> online.<\/p>\n
