The human body is a complex organism and is very good at getting the most out of what we put into it. But, when it comes to vitamins, it comes down to what we eat and drink. Most vitamins cannot be naturally produced by our bodies, so it must come from external sources. If your body starts to miss out on certain vitamins, then your health may suffer as a result. As we explore new diets for fitness and ethical reasons, the risk of deficiencies increases. This is why taking multivitamin capsules or tablets is important, as they can help towards improving our long-term health overall.
