Vitamins

       

Vitamins are vital for normal bodily function. They are absolutely necessary for growth, vitality, and our general well being. It is often suggested that vitamin supplements be taken with a meal, rather than on an empty stomach. This is because vitamins cannot be assimilated by the body without ingesting food. In addition, while vitamin supplements can be helpful, they are not a replacement for good, healthy foods.
