Best vitamins?

Are all vitamins equal? I feel shocking at the moment I have some dental problems which mean I’m in a lot of pain and I have terrible insomnia. However I also just feel run down, my body feels like it’s lacking something, I have plenty of fruit and veg but I feel sluggishc I have lots of mouth ulcers and crap skin.
Will a boots own brand vitamin offer the same thing as the more expensive ones?

No, all vitamins aren't equal. There are different amounts of each and different qualities for different types.

There's little point in taking vitamins aimlessly unless you know you have a deficiency, a poor diet or a vegetarian/vegan diet etc. Except for Vitamin D, as most people are deficienct in that.

Though it wouldn't hurt to take a good B-complex of all the different B vitamins to balance them and maybe improve your energy levels if you happen to need it...

(Mouth ulcers can be caused by a B vitamin deficiency actually so it definitely wouldn't hurt to take a complex!)
