Multivitamins

Q. Why are vitamins important?

A. Vitamins help release energy from our food and help build muscle, bone, blood and other vital tissue. Without a regular supply of vitamins, we cannot maintain good health and normal growth. Since the body does not store all essential vitamins for long periods of time, some have to be supplied on a regular basis. One A Day supplements can be taken to help support complete nutrition.
