Vitamins

• We need vitamins for healthy growth of our body.
• They are best taken by the way of food.
• If you are healthy you are not in need of vitamin tablets or syrups.
• Vitamin preparations are needed only when you are in a vitamin deficiency.
• If you take vitamin tablets unnecessarily there is a risk of overload of vitamins.
• Vitamin overload can cause symptoms like headache, hair-loss and skin rashes.
• Therefore do not swallow vitamin tablets when they are not indicated.
• Do not waste money buying vitamin preparations in the market to make you fit.
• Instead spend the money to get a good balanced diet.
• A balanced diet will supply all the vitamins and the other nutrients you need.
