Vitamins and minerals are essential micronutrients that enable us to lead vital, active and healthy lives, and they must be obtained through diet. Many people, for a variety of reasons, receive sub-optimal amounts of nutrients.

A daily multivitamin-mineral supplement can supply nutrients missing from your diet and it can also help reduce the risk of developing certain health conditions. In 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association made a recommendation that all adults take a daily multivitamin. The American Dietitic Association and Dietitians of Canada support the nutritional adequacy of well-planned vegetarian diets. Due to the variability of dietary practices amongst vegetarians, however, supplementation may also be necessary.

Vita-Vim Vegetarian provides a full complement of nutrients necessary to support daily metabolic processes, and allows one to optimally use food to help generate energy, combat fatigue, and resist infection. This precise combination of 21 essential vitamins and minerals is ideal for people who follow a vegetarian diet or who want to use animal-free products.

Directions
