Nutritional supplements
Vitamins are nutrients that are needed for metabolic reactions in a
living organism, but they need to be obtained through diet. However,
not all people eat right amount the food with the necessary vitamins,
which makes nutritional supplements extremely important.
Nutritional supplements like vitamins can prevent:
• Scurvy
• Anemia
• Rickets
• Dermatitis
Vitamin deficiencies in humans have adverse effects on how the body
functions, yet many can’t or won’t consume the proper food
that provides these vitamins. Nutritional supplements can give a lactose
intolerant person the needed vitamin D/calcium that they wouldn’t
receive otherwise.
