I take a multivitamin/mineral, selenium 200mcg and fish oil every day, and will continue to do so
The selenium was founnd to cut cancer rates in half in a major study couducted by the University of Arizona a few years back.
I take fish oil because I dont like eating fish, and the multi to even out any ups n downs in my diet (my diet isnt perfect!)
I think avoiding mega doses would be wise, for example, you can get pills containing 100mg of vitamin c or 400iu of vitamin d, and it would be virtualy imossible to get thses sorts of levels from he diet.
I'd keep on with an RDI type multi, your fish oil and your calcium/magnesium, and avoid maga doses of any one vitamin or nutrient.
You might also consider adding selenium, its cheap and it ahs an amazing effect on cancer rates
