VITAMIN POWER 100 tablets

What are vitamin supplements (multivitamins)?

Vitamin supplements are products based on mixtures of vitamins, micronutrients essential for the optimal functioning of the body.

What are they for?

Vitamin supplements are proposed both to prevent and to treat vitamin deficiencies due to specific diseases, inadequate dietary intake or increased needs in particular conditions, such as pregnancy.
According to many experts, the benefits of taking them are often overestimated. While taking doses of vitamins higher than those available through food can be beneficial in cases of deficiencies or increased needs, in most cases, optimal intake of these micronutrients can be achieved simply through a varied and balanced diet. Furthermore, when vitamin supplements are prescribed, they typically aren't multivitamins, but rather specific products; one example is folic acid (vitamin B9) supplements, recommended both before conception and at least during the first three months of pregnancy.
