Who Needs Supplements
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says most people don’t need to take supplements and that they should be able to get all the nutrients their body needs from the food they eat.
However, if you’re following a low-calorie diet, are over the age of 50 or following a vegetarian or vegan diet, you might need a vitamin and mineral supplement. However, protein powders are convenient and may serve as a good protein option for your after-workout snack. Together or Separate
For best results, you should take your multivitamin supplement with food.
Creating a routine with your multivitamin by always taking it with your protein powder may also help you remember to take it. These extra ingredients aren’t required and might not offer any benefits because it’s not known how they may affect your health. Fortified Protein Powders
Some protein powders are fortified with vitamins and minerals, so you may be able to skip the multivitamin supplement and get what you need from your protein powder.
What’s most important when getting nutrients from supplements is to not overdo it. If you’re taking a multivitamin supplement and a fortified protein powder, you may get more nutrients than your body need.
