What are Vitamins?

• Vitamins are essentially organic compounds. They are used by the body in small amounts for different reasons, for example, metabolic processes.
• Our bodies only needs vitamins in small amounts on a day to day basis. 90% of the time, a well rounded diet will provide us with enough vitamins. However, in some cases people do need to supplement with vitamins in order to fulfill possible deficiencies that they may encounter.

What are the benefits of vitamins as a supplement?

• This question varies a lot for many reasons. For those who have a well rounded diet and consume protein, carbohydrates, fats etc, vitamins are not going to help them out hugely.
• Many people take vitamins with the belief it will change their body. Again, this is not the case 90% of the time as they are unknowingly hitting their target amounts through diet and anything else is seen as excess, which is of no benefit.

Where can they be bought?

• For those who need vitamins, they can be bought essentially in any supermarket, health food store and online on any supplements website.
