Micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are essential for your health, however, it is difficult to track how much you eat in your diet. There are many different vitamins and minerals, which serve different purposes. They are also present in different quantities and the amounts we need to consume differ. You can learn more about micronutrients here. If you consistently eat a healthy diet with plenty of different types of fruits and vegetables, then you may not need micronutrient supplements. If your diet is not that healthy, or if you have a medical condition* you may need to take supplements. If you are an athlete, weightlifter or regularly do intense exercise, you may also take them to meet the increased need of micronutrients. *If you have a medical condition you should seek the advice of a medical professional.
