Vitamins and minerals are substances that are found in foods we eat. Your body needs them to work properly, so you grow and develop just like you should. When it comes to vitamins, each one has a special role to play.

Vitamins and minerals are one of the most important things in a persons diet. It is amazing just how many people do not take these into consideration. Young children especially need vitamins to grow strong and healthy.

Adult Vitamins and minerals are not suitable for children, and cause serious damage to the health of a child. On the market today are many wonderful “candy like” vitamins for children. The one issue that may cause a problem for a child is the fact that they now taste too good. There are reported cases where a child has taken an over dose of their vitamins and as a result all vitamins both adult and children ones should be stored out of reach of a child.

Many people are unaware of the serious symptoms of vitamin and mineral deficiencies, without vitamins our bodies start to fail. Our skin become pales, our hair will loose its shine and in some cases even fall out! Our eyes seem to cloud over or go yellowish in color. Not only that, our blood will become thin and we will feel tired and weak. Another thing that vitamin and mineral supplements do for our brains is to make them smarter and pay closer attention for longer periods of time. Studies have shown that taking a supplement daily can improve your attention span by over 30%. That number is outstanding. Further studies confirm that taking a vitamin and mineral supplement can ward off illness such as the common cold.

A good multi vitamin is recommended to cover all the vitamins that your diet might be lacking. Remember the rule too much or a good thing is not always a good thing. Read the label and take as directed.
