What are Vitamins?
Vitamins are essential nutrients that are vital to help the body perform a huge range of functions. They are considered essential as your body can’t make vitamins itself and so they have to come from your diet. You can find a range of vitamins in foods such as fruit and vegetables, as well as grains and barley. They all have different functions in the body and support your overall health and wellbeing.
What are the Benefits of Vitamins?
As vitamins are an essential part of your diet, it is important to reach your recommended daily requirement in order for your body to be able to function properly. If you find it hard to hit your suggested intake, supplementing with vitamins can be a convenient solution. Vitamin C for example is a really important nutrient as it supports your immune system and metabolism, helps to reduce tiredness, and helps to maintain your skin — helping you to feel your best, inside out.
