They are organic compounds that the body needs in relatively small amounts to function properly. While you may get many vitamins from your diet, there are several compelling reasons why you need to ensure you're getting an adequate supply of these micronutrients:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupport Vital Functions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamins are involved in a wide range of vital bodily functions.
