There actually can be too much of a good thing, and anything in excess whether vitamins, supplements or food can cause serious problems. In terms of vitamins, some are fat-soluble, meaning they are stored in the liver, and you don't need them every day, while others are water-soluble, and need to be replenished. Multivitamins Brands - Amway Daily, AtoZ, Centrum. Any brand is okay but the composition varies with each brand. So choose as per your pocket. Take vitamins and minerals through your natural diet. Include 5 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday in your diet. Omega 3 is a good supplement and you can take it on a daily basis because Indian diet is deficient in it since majority people don't consume fish which is a very rich source of Omega 3. Natural sources of Omega 3 include almonds walnuts flax seeds chia seeds fish Brands available in market - Seven Seas Cod Liver oil, Alaska, GNC, Muscletech. You can take 1000 mg per day. A standard 1000 mg fish oil softgel provides around 300 mg of omega-3s.
