Why are Vitamins and Minerals so important?

Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients, and are the building blocks of optimal health. Because our bodies only need small amounts of each nutrient, amounts are often represented as milligrams and micrograms. Vitamins, such as vitamins A, C, D and E, play a vital role in strengthening our immune system, promoting healthy skin and supporting our senses. Minerals, including calcium, magnesium and iron, are essential for building strong bones, regulating heart rate and blood pressure, and promoting muscle function.

Except for vitamin D and vitamin K, our bodies cannot produce vitamins and minerals on their own. Therefore, it is essential to make sure we get enough of these nutrients through a healthy diet.
