Vitamins Are Better Naturally, Not As Pills

Vitamins play important roles in bodily functions such as metabolism, immunity and digestion. There are 13 essential vitamins, including vitamins A, C, D, E, and K and B vitamins such as riboflavin and folate. 

For the average consumer, vitamins are generally found on the shelves in the health section of your local grocery store or pharmacy. While those pill form vitamins are a nice supplement to a healthy diet, the human body is much better at digesting vitamins from their natural source, food. Essential vitamins can be found in the food that we put in our bodies every day.
