What vitamins do we need? Ask your pharmacist !

What vitamins do we need to take in our daily life, if at all? The answer is yes and no but the best answer is "maybe". Studies have shown that taking daily multivitamin supplements will prevent any chronic diseases. Taking supplements will help ensure you are getting enough of nutrients that may be missing from your diet. Eating a healthy well-balanced diet should provide you with all the individual nutrients you need, but not everyone has a good diet or perhaps hates fruits or vegetables. Frequently leavening this out of your diet will leave one deficient of nutrients and in return impact your health. Taking a daily multivitamin is an inexpensive and easy way to be sure you are getting the vitamins and minerals you need.

Adding these supplements will be beneficial;

• Calcium
• Vitamin A,B,C,D,E
  
• Fish Oil
• Folic Acid
• Antioxidants ans Zinc
• Probiotics
• Vitamin B12
• Niacin
• Beta-carotene
• Copper as Cupric oxide

Read your labels! Better yet eat whole foods whenever possible.
