If you are outside at least 15-30 minutes a day and can get some sun on your face and hands that's great also.
Don't bother with the one a day pills though as they don't properly dissolve and you end up eliminating most of the pill. I opt for different vitamins and minerals versus try and take just one pill.
If you are young, say in your 20's you should be okay with this. The older we get the more our bodies don't produce the right balance.
If you are having trouble sleeping or just want to stay young longer, may I suggest that you take some melatonin pills at night under your tongue? You need about 3mg a night - no more as it is not necessary. Google melatonin and you'll be surprised at this. Our bodies make it when we are younger, but as we age the production is drastically decreased. There is a book available also about melatonin called the Miracle of Melatonin. I read this about 2 years ago and I take melatonin every night. I order my melatonin off the net. Shop around for the lozenges type as it must be taken in the mouth only for best results. Essentially this is the key to longevity (if you read the book you'll see what I'm talking about).
