What Are Vitamins and Supplements?
Vitamins are essential micronutrients that your body needs in small amounts to function properly. They play a role in everything from energy production and immune support to bone health and skin vitality. While many of these nutrients can be obtained through a well-balanced diet, some people may benefit from supplementation depending on lifestyle, dietary habits, or individual health needs.

• Dietary restrictions (e.g., vegan, gluten-free)
• Life stages (e.g., pregnancy, aging)
• Low sun exposure (vitamin D)
• Specific health conditions or deficiencies
• Increased physical activity or joint stress (e.g., may benefit from ingredients like NEM®)
Always speak with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement routine to ensure it aligns with your unique needs.
