Why would l need supplements?

Supplements are an excellent method to address vitamin deficiencies, restore vitamin levels, and improve your health overall. Your body needs vitamins and nutrients from the foods you consume to function properly.

Many women, men, and children don’t get a sufficient amount of these important nutrients in their diet and have deficiencies that can lead to medical complications.

In more severe cases, vitamin deficiencies can cause fatalities. One example is a disease called Scurvy. Caused by an insufficient amount of vitamin C, scurvy can result in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and sore limbs.

What are the benefits of supplements?

Dietary supplements offer many benefits. Supplements can lower your risks for certain diseases and ensure you’re getting an adequate amount of the vital substances necessary for optimal body functioning.

Supplements are not a replacement for a complete meal and should be taken in addition to your healthy diet and lifestyle.

How important is nutrition for wellness?

• Hypertension
• Obesity
• Type 2 diabetes
