Why use supplments?

Pregnant Women

Pregnancy creates higher than average demands for nutrients, to ensure healthy growth of the baby and comfortable confinement of the mother. Nutrients which typically increase during pregnancy are the B-group, especially B1,B2,B3,B6, folic acid and B12,A,D,E and the minerals calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus. Note: professional assessment of nutrient requirements during pregnancy should be sought.

Oral Contraceptives

Oral contraceptives can decrease absorption of folic acid and increase requirements for vitamins B6 and C, zinc and riboflavine.

Light Eaters

Some people eat very sparingly, even without weight reduction goals.

The Elderly

The aged have been shown to have a low intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly iron, calcium and zinc. Folic acid deficiency is often found in conjunction with vitamin C deficiency. Fibre intake is often low. Riboflavine and pyridoxine deficiencies have also been observed. Possible causes include reduced sense of taste and smell, reduced secretion of digestive enzymes, chronic disease and some drug therapies.
