The foundation of a sound nutritional program begins with a good multivitamin and mineral complex. Multivitamin-mineral supplements contain a number of essential and/or non-essential nutrients and should be viewed as the backbone to any supplement program designed to offer nutritional assurance. The primary purpose of a multivitamin is to provide a convenient way to get a variety of nutrients from a single product in order to prevent vitamin or mineral deficiencies, as well as to achieve higher intake of nutrients.
