To begin with, unless you have health issues, if you're eating a balanced, healthy diet, you probably won't benefit from taking extra vitamins. With that said, if you're like most people, your diet might not be the healthiest. Another reason someone can benefit from supplements is being under stress. Your body utilizes a higher amount of vitamins when under mental or especially physical stress. Having a poor diet can compound the issue. A final thing to keep in mind is not to have the mentality that more is better. It's possible to get sick from taking too many vitamins.

I am planning to start my family by this year end by when should i start taking prenatal vitamins and which one should i take?

Start taking your prenatal vitamins now. A friend of mine said her doctor had her start taking extrafolic acid 6 months before she conceived. I read that taking prenatal vitamins early can aid in fertility. I know that the benefits of folic acid start at conception. Most women start taking prenatal vitamins around the 3 month of pregnancy, by then the benefit of folic acid have lessened. The nutrients are extremely important during pregnancy and beyond, unfortunately most vitamins we take are not even digested and absorbed by the body. I took Chews4health during my last pregnancy. I have 4 children and took several different types of prenatal vitamins, most made my stomach upset. During my last pregnancy I started taking chews 4 health and it was the most enjoyable pregnancy off all. I was still smiling on delivery day. The best part is Chews offer almost complete absorption My little one now 9 months old is very smart, I believe it is due to the good quality nutrition I was able to give her and continue to give her through nursing.

Can vitamin b complex help depression?

Anything you do that increases your health will make you feel better. There are no vitamins or minerals which cure depression, but being healthy is a good start. When you're depressed, you don't take good care of yourself, and taking a good multi-vitamin is always a good idea. I'd recommend a complete formula, though, instead of just the B-vitamins. Probably not. The last thing you need when you're depressed is another complex.
