The purpose of taking a vitamin or food supplement is to provide the body with added nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, or amino acids that the person may not be receiving in normal diet due to specific medical reasons. Among the vitamins or minerals that can be supplemented are b12, copper, calcium, iodine, magnesium, potassium, selenium, zinc, and a wide array of others. In addition to food supplements, herbal supplements are also available that may be all-natural and give added health benefits. These vitamin supplements are usually classified as food instead of drugs, but they should be taken in a strict regimen and not used to excess, as health problems can occur.
