Hi, I take the multivit and i want to start taking the omega 3, can I also add the turmeric one and the sublingual b12 or is it too much? what is your advice for a plant based vegan and someone who has some immunity conserns. Hi, MultiVit + Omega-3 is an ideal ongoing daily supplement regime. If immunity and inflammation are of concern, our Turmeric supplement is an ideal addition to this regime. Due to the B12 in MultiVit, we would hope you have enough already but if you are seeking a higher dose, it is safe to also add the Sublingual B12 to the regime. In short, it is fine to take all of these products together but our advice is hopefully MultiVit + Omega-3 is sufficient as a start point.
