I am a male of 62 years age .in addition to medicines for the above conditions I am taking following supplements for the past many years :- 1 multivitamin supradyn 1 od 2 evion400 1 od 3 vitamin c 500 mg 1 od 4 calcium 500 mg 1 od 5 seven seas cod liver oil capsules 2 bd my question is does taking these vitamins offer any benefits? Are their any harms in taking these supplements? Should I continue to take these supplements for thw rest of my life? Can taking so many medicines and supplements put unnecessary burden on the kidneys? These supplements have not been prescribed by the Dr. I am taking these on my own. Please reply in detail and advise.

These supplements kindly take if indicated, as excess vitamins and supplements can also be harmful. Don't take unless these are not needed for you. Good luck.

Sir, multivitamins are good for the body but should not be taken without doctor's prescription. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Indulge yourself in a physical exercise, walking is best suitable for you. You can also do meditation, deep breathing. It will relax your mind and lower your htn.
