Vitamins and your health

You are eating a healthy, balanced diet, doing regular exercise and minimising your intake of alcohol, sugar and other nasties. So why do you need a vitamin supplement? For many people, a vitamin deficiency can rear its ugly head in spite of all good intentions. However slight, this can show itself in a number of ways; usually through a general tiredness or lack of get up and go, or unhealthy skin, hair and nails.

This can be because some vitamins or minerals – like vitamin D, usually absorbed into our body from sunlight – are hard to come by in certain situations, while for some people, especially those with certain conditions that limit the absorption of some vitamins from their diets. Taking a good multivitamin can help to ensure that you are gaining all the goodness you need, from vitamin A to manganese, folic acid to zinc, with fewer obstacles to absorption.

Nutrition and mental health

Not only will getting a balanced selection of minerals, vitamins and other nutrients help to keep your body fighting fit, it can also support good psychological health. Indeed, B-complex vitamins – particularly B1, B5, folate (or folic acid) and B12 – are essential for supporting your psychological wellbeing.
