Vitamins / Minerals

Many vitamins and minerals are considered "essential" nutrients—meaning our bodies don't make them, so they must be obtained from either the foods we eat or from supplementation. These nutrients are vitally important to our health (and life), serving as the basis for proper brain function, muscular contraction, fluid balance, and energy production.

Popular vitamins/minerals are: A (Retinol); B-Complex: [thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin, folic acid and the cobalamins (B12)]; C (Ascorbic acid); Calcium; Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10,ubiquinone); E (d-alpha-tocopherol); Glucosamine/Chondroitin; Iron; Magnesium; Potassium; Zinc.
