-With a couple of possible exceptions, it is unnecessary for most Marshall Protocol (MP) patients to supplement with vitamins or minerals. A balanced diet of [[home:food:real_foods|whole foods]] usually offers a person all the nutrients needed for good health. While nutritional supplements including multivitamins are wildly popular, there is no solid evidence that they contribute to long-term health, reduce symptoms, or cure chronic disease.

 Patients who are concerned that their diet is less than ideal should study the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_Daily_Intake|Reference Daily Intake]] (RDI) values of the standard nutrients against their diet to determine if they are deficient. Patients should not consume more nutrients than what is recommended than the RDI. Note that both vitamin D and supplemented (not naturally occurring) folic acid are contraindicated.

   * [[home:food:folic|folic acid and folate]] – folate is a water-soluble B-vitamin that occurs naturally in foods; folic acid is the synthetic form of folate; MP patients must avoid products containing supplemental folic acid as it contributes to bacterial growth
   * vitamin B12 – readily available in meat and dairy products so, unless a person is a vegan, he or she is probably not deficient; exceptions include certain malabsorption syndromes and pernicious anemia, conditions where people cannot absorb B-12
-  * vitamin C – ascorbates promote the transcription of Th1 inflammatory mediators and, therefore, large doses of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) may prove to affect the immune system in a way that is counterproductive; as little as 10mg per day of vitamin C is needed to prevent scurvy
