Vitamins
Taking a complete multi-vitamin/mineral every day assures you that you are getting the micronutrients that your body needs for optimal performance and health. Athletes and those with poor eating habits benefit the most from these products. We suggest getting most of your micronutrients from whole foods, but many people do not eat the large variety of foods necessary to get a complete profile of all the nutrients that you need.
