Why do people take multivitamins?

It is no secret and rather a well-known fact nowadays that stress, leading fast-paced lives and having unbalanced diets affect our health in more ways than we wish to admit.

It is also common knowledge that maintaining a balanced healthy diet (processed foods can make up 70 percent of our diet), keeping an exercise routine and leading as much as possible stress-free lives all take a great deal of effort.

Not everyone can maintain their wellness all the time by eating a balanced diet, getting the right amount of exercise and reducing stress. Our body needs nutrients and vitamins to function properly and to support our overall health. Food supplements such as multivitamins, which are rich in vitamins and minerals, aid in our wellness. Multivitamins may help us to increase our natural immunity, fight against viruses and help us maintain good health.

To make up for any nutritional gaps and maintain our wellbeing, most of us take a once-a-day multivitamin.
