Which Vitamin Or Supplement Is Best For You?

Genesis Offers Free Community Education Class

Davenport, IA - Genesis Cancer Center is offering a series of holistic health and support classes to those looking to live full and meaningful lives. The on going series called, "Feeding Your Soul – Footprints to Survival," runs through December and focuses on a different topic each month.

The class offered in February is called "Everything You Want to Know About Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements." June D'Souza, a dietitian at Genesis Medical Center, will be discussing multivitamins, what they do for us, minerals and do we really need iron in our multi supplements. D'Souza will also discuss herbal and vitamin combinations and whether they are worth the money plus provide general guidelines for purchasing a multivitamin and when is the best time to take them.

This community discussion is Wednesday, February 11, from 9:30 - 11 a.m., at the Genesis Medical Center's West campus conference center, Pavilion 2, 1401 West Central Park, Davenport. Participants are encouraged to bring their bottles of vitamins and supplements.
