Multivitamins &
Minerals A-Z complete.
Vitamins are naturally occurring substances that
are essential for life, although they are only needed in tiny amounts.
There are 13 major vitamins that must all be obtained from the diet,
as most cannot be synthesized in the body (e.g. vitamin C) or can
only be made in minute amounts (e.g. vitamin D) which are too small
to meet our needs.
A diet rich in fresh unprocessed fruit provides
adequate supplies of most vitamins and minerals, but with today's
hectic lifestyles many people find it difficult to achieve the recommended
amounts. Often essential vitamins and minerals are overlooked. Alternative
Medicines multivitamin tablets contain 31 different vitamins and
minerals, providing 100% of most of the Recommended Daily Allowance.
