Is It Safe To Consume Vitamin Supplements For Weight Loss And Toned Muscles?
Question: Hi,
I have started going to gym since a week. I spend 2 hrs everyday. These two hours includes 10 mins warm up, 15 different types of exercises(weight training) and 10 different types of stretching exercises. My goal is to shed weight and develop a lean and toned muscular body. My Gym instructor informed that the diet plan is very important as I am doing quite a lot of time in gym. He suggested to take 1 scoop of whey protein powder before workout and 1 scoop after the workout. Ideally, he would have suggested chicken and eggs but I am "vegetarian", those non veg options are ruled out. The protein intake is very crucial for me at this time and along with this, he has suggested me to take the below mentioned mutlitvitamin tables. He says, that this is essential muscle repair and has lots of advantages.

Detailed Answer:
HI
Greeting from Dr. Divakara.P
First of all thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic for posting your query.
Well yes you can take these tablets . These are safe . I went through the product description and the dose of these vitamins are within the Recommended daily allowance (RDA ). So there is nothing to be worried as of safety is concerned .
But whether it is useful or not is doubtful . Vitamin supplementation will help in persons who are deficient in vitamin and can't eat food properly ( even Vegetarian food contains all the vitamins and minerals )
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
Regards.
It's safe.
