A vitamin is an organic compound that is required
in small amounts to maintain normal metabolic function, although
higher doses are often used therapeutically.
Our modern farming methods however have resulted in the steadily decreasing vitamin content of our food, and taken together with an increasing toxic load in our bodies which often requires or uses up vitamins more quickly, and the stress of modern living (which also uses up more vitamins), we can understand why many health experts recommend some form of vitamin supplementation.
It is important when choosing a vitamin supplement to take into consideration quality and absorbability, as well as quantity.
