Why You Should Take Vitamin Supplements




By Tony Jacowski

Since many people today don't eat balanced diets vitamin supplements have been produced by vitamin companies. Depending on the need of your body there are a variety of vitamin supplements to choose from. In order for your body to function properly it needs the help of vitamin supplements. To find the right vitamin supplement for you it is best to talk with your dietician or health professional. Since you can never be completely sure which vitamins to take for your body and which are bad for you it is always important to consult a health professional first. Some of your vitamins are already present in the foods you eat so you won't need to take vitamin supplements for these.

Who Should Take Vitamin Supplements

There are three primary groups of people who should look into taking vitamin supplements. These are children and the elderly in addition to those who are on vegetarian diets.

Since not all vitamins are found in vegetables and fruits, vegetarians should take vitamin supplements. Certain vitamins are lacking if your system if you don't eat meat products to gain these vitamins. There are some vitamins that contain animal products so vegetarians should be very careful when they select which vitamins to take. When you consider buying vitamins you should read the label carefully.

In order to support a child's growth vitamin supplements are important. In addition, children often don't eat the proper foods in the right amounts to gain the specific vitamins that are essential to their growth. If you do not breastfeed your children then there is an added need for vitamin supplements since there are many nutrients a child needs that comes from breast milk. Although rather than supplements there is the option of baby milk that contains the necessary vitamins and minerals to support growth. Before giving baby milk to a child you should always consult a pediatrician or health professional so that you can be sure you are getting the right baby milk for your child and that the milk will meet their needs.

As people age their body needs vitamin supplements. The capacity to eat certain foods required for a balanced diet is lost as we age and some elderly suffer from sicknesses that require additional vitamins. Some foods are harmful for the elderly since they may contain minerals that won't agree with their body.
