Vitamins and minerals perform hundreds of roles to keep your body functioning. However, your body cannot produce the vitamins and minerals that it needs. Vitamins are organic substances (i.e. made by plants or animals), while minerals are inorganic elements in the soil and water, which are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals. So, your diet plays an important role in ensuring that you ingest your daily requirements of these crucial vitamins and minerals. However, it is no secret these days, many people are turning to multivitamins as a source of these vitamins and minerals, and believe that it the key to a healthy lifestyle. Companies even produce and sell different multivitamins targeted specifically at young women and young men. But in order to make wise choices, it is important to stop and ask if we actually need all these multivitamins.
