What would be the best vitamins for my elderly parents?My dad and mom are 78 years old and I feel they should be taking a multi vitamin daily but can not decide which one to give them. I realize a male and females needs are different so would like someone to recommend some to try. My dad has numerous health problems, parkinsons, diabetes, kidney problems, you name it he has it. Mom has been pretty healthy however.

I would definitely not recommend he take a multi-vitamin you buy in stores. That will damage their DNA and shorten their lives.
At 78, they are producing about less than 3% of the stomach acid they did at 25 years old. So what is happening is that they are basically starving slowly to death because the food they are eating is not getting fully digested. Parkinson's disease is from the nigral cells in the top of the brain stem (gray matter) being destroyed from "free radicals." The diabetes and kidney problems are most likely related. The final stage of diabetes is usually kidney failure. This could be caused by the nano bacteria entering his body from cooked foods due to the low stomach acid issue, as well as a diet high in carbohydrates (typically high grain foods), Low fat, and Low salt diets.
Most of the problems your father has had or is having is most likely due to the digestive issue and endocrine issue all related to eating way too much processed foods and not enough organic foods in the proper balance for a long period of time.
I would strongly suggest you get him and your mother to a certified nutritional therapist that can test them for what nutrient(s) they are deficient in and recommend a good quality diet that will help them back to health.
good luck to you

I would think a multi vitamin would be good, as well as extra calcium for the bones.
ALSO -- Just a little info for you ---
I just wanted to write and give you a web site that I use to order vitamins. It is called Vitacost, www.vitacost.com and it is a online vitamin company that sells so many of the brand names you know, but for such cheap prices. They also have a lot of workout / bodybuilding products, soaps, shampoos, organic food items, etc. I have been ordering products from their catalog for a few years and never buy products at local health food stores anymore. Plus, regardless if you order 1 item, or 12, the shipping is only $ 5.00!
Once you are on their mailing list / email list they will send you special offers, like one time they had an extra 5% off of your total order. And last time I ordered, they took $ 10. off your order if you paid online with the online service Paypal.
It is definitely worth checking out!
Thanks for reading!
