Many people still question the importance of taking supplements at all. Here are ten reasons to consider supplementing your diet with high-quality nutrients:
1. Current commercial agriculture techniques leave soil deficient in important minerals, causing the food grown in this soil to share the same mineral deficiencies.
2. Many foods are shipped long distances and are stored for long periods of time, both of which cause the depletion of vitamins in these foods, including the important B-complex and C vitamins.
3. Food processing, cooking, and preserving leads to nutrient depletion in our food supply that makes it difficult to obtain adequate nutrition from foods alone.
4. Many fruits and vegetables are genetically bred to improve visual appeal and crop yields, not nutritional value, which frequently results in lesser nutritional values than our ancestors’ food supply.

Natural treatment is always better than supplements. Todays life is so fast that is why public is running towards the supplement as it needs no preparation. This act save times for them but not good for their health.

I have been taking vitamins & supplements for several years.
I believe they really help to keep me fit & prevent disease.
It is an individual choice.
Be careful. Real food is still better than supplements because they're natural. Too high of vitamin E can cause prostate cancer, yet in the right dose, can prevent it. Go figure.
thanks
Thank you for the summary.
I take supplements every day because I know I don't get what I should through my diet alone. Working on changing that though.
Check with Dr Andrew Weil. He is really sensible and down to earth re:supplements that help.
I take a multivitamin occassionaly, I should take it regularly I know.
