In first place......multi vitamin is not mandatory. ..
Treat it as nutritional supplements and not medicine. .....
Can be taken any time of the day either before food or after food......

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
It's a nutritional supplement.
As such it can be taken any time of a day but better to do it after food. Once a day is usually enough.
Also, it would be good if ask her to take foods which are rink in all these.
Natural is always better.
Lots of greens, vegetables and a cup of green tea could also help.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
