Vitamins - Introduction - Sources

Ideally, the best source of vitamins (or any nutrient) is from your food. Unfortunately, if an organic, well-rounded diet is not the norm you will not receive the nutrients your body needs to function properly. The demands of modern life, pollution, and stress place additional demands on our bodies and you may require a higher level of nutrient intake to maintain a basic level of health. After analyzing your lifestyle and discussing your needs with your nutritionist, naturopath, or other health practitioner, supplementation may be considered.

Many regard supplementation as an "insurance policy". Though you will not be able to avoid every illness or ailment, your body will be better prepared to deal with the situation.
