Vitamins and minerals boost the immune system, support normal growth and development, and help cells and organs function properly.

You know vitamins and minerals are good for you, but which ones does your body really need?

Although you get vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat every day, some foods have more vitamins and minerals than others. We need vitamins and minerals to make our bodies work properly.

What Are Vitamins?

Vitamins are organic substances (made by plants).

Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) — need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them.

You need a fresh supply of water-soluble vitamins every day (C and the B-complex vitamins) because your body can't store these vitamins.

What Are Minerals?

Minerals are inorganic elements that come from the soil and water and are absorbed by plants. We need to eat plants in order to get the minerals our bodies need.

Supplements!

There are hundreds of supplements on the market. Of course the manufacturers want you to purchase their brand. However, beware of unproven claims about the benefits of taking more than recommended amounts of any vitamin or mineral.

Your best bet for getting the vitamins and minerals you need is to eat a wide variety of healthy foods and skip the vitamin pills. However, if you have to take supplements, Puritan's Pride is a great source of vitamins and minerals.
