Abstract: Question Do patients need to take multivitamin or mineral supplements? How were the new Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for minerals and vitamins set? What is the relationship between mineral supplements and optimum health? Answer Daily multivitamin and mineral supplements containing approved levels of minerals are safe for nearly everyone, but use of supplements should include individual risk assessment. Th e DRIs are reference values used primarily to assess and plan diets; they do not address amounts proposed for optimum health. Th e literature does, however, indicate that certain vitamins and minerals benefit health.
