You are supposed to provide these nutrients to your body through healthy diet. There has been an astounding rise in the sale of vitamin and mineral supplements over the last few decades.

Either inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals through diet or inadequate absorption of vitamins and minerals in the digestive tract are the main causes of lack of vitamins and minerals in the body.
