The concept of taking vitamins shouldn’t be but is a topic of divided opinions.
In my opinion, the idea of not taking supplements is an outdated opinion. This comes from the idea that we get enough nutrition from the food we eat and if we eat properly, we will get all we need. That may have been true once, but even if we did eat all we were supposed to, the food we consume is simply grown differently than it used to. Hydroponics, GMO’s, pesticides and on and on have changed the actual nutritional value in even the basic fruit and veggies we eat. I really believe that we NEED to supplement our diets because most of us don’t eat perfectly anyway and we all need all the help we can get.
Please understand too, that I am in no way saying that supplements should replace actual food. Real is always best, but when lacking that, getting the right nutrition in should be what is important.
This article is really clear on what and why. Take this info and do your own research on brands and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you want any additional help.
