Best Multi-Vitamin for Middle-Age AND Older Women

[KBoxer314]

I am trying to help my Mother and Grandmother with some healthy living tips. I have supplied them both with a similar diet plan, but it is of course difficult to have a diet that constantly consists of everything a person needs.

My mother is a survivor of Colon Cancer and about 40 - 45, and My Grandmother is a VERY mobile 82 with no real health problems except cholesterol. Both are looking to shed a few pounds.

I am looking for a few things that anyone can help me with:
1: What is the best Multi-Vitamin that you can get for each person. I know you can get vitamins from walmart, however I have heard alot about digestable issues with certain vitamins (I Believe it was one-a-day and centrum). I have heard that the coating doesnt completely break down before the vitamin passes through the system, and you dont get evrything in the vitamin. What do you guys suggest?

2: Any other special supplements for either person that could benefit them, and why?

3: Just any other health tip in General for these situations would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

i am a big fan of Nutrilite Double X. they use the highest quality forms of vitamins, and also have phytonutrients (non-required compounds that have positive health benefits, R-ALA for example). PM for a link of where to buy, as posting links aren't allowed

I am assuming you are a male by your member name, ect. I dont believe the Multi-Vitamins men take, should be taken by middle-age and older women, correct?

Thanks for the input!

no, this is designed to be good for anyone. what makes it great is the quality, not the vitamin ratios or whatever. most of the vitamins come from plat concentrates, so you're assured to be absorbing all of it. the rest come from chelate forms which are a much higher quality than the oxide forms and such. some "bodybuilding" or "men's" multis will just have higher amounts of something that an active dude would need, but it could still be a lower quality so they're really not absorbing all of it. but this is a high quality with a high absorbancy, so it's perfect for anyone.
