Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients required by your body to work effectively and efficiently. Adequate levels are necessary for immune function, bone and muscle health, cardiovascular function, and to promote normal growth and development. A balanced diet which includes plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, protein and whole grains is important to obtain these nutrients. But if you live a busy and stressful lifestyle, extra physical and mental demand may mean you are not getting the intake of vitamins and minerals that your body needs. During times of stress, whether it is extra demand at work, physical exercise or emotional stress, nutrients such as the B Complex Vitamins and Magnesium are more quickly depleted by the body. Daily supplementation with a range of vitamins and minerals can provide optimum intake for the maintenance of good health and wellbeing.
