Sometimes our diets do not provide all the micronutrients we need. This could be because of the quality of our diets, our stage of life, dietary restrictions, or illness or stress. For example, adults over 50 years old may need more vitamin C than younger people. Also, the possible disease-fighting benefits of vitamin E require more vitamin E than can be obtained from our food.
In situations where we do not get adequate vitamins and minerals from the food we eat, we can add micronutrients to our diets in the form of supplements. When you body requires more nutrients than you can obtain from the food you eat, appropriate whole food supplements can deliver the vitamins and minerals your body needs for optimum health. New Chapter, Garden of Life, and Mt. Capra offer high-quality whole food supplements that deliver all the benefits of whole foods.
