Dietary supplements play and important role in common situations, such as when a person dislikes certain nutritious foods, eats foods of variable quality, has little time to prepare balanced meals, is a under excess stress, or takes several medications which strip your body of certain nutrients.
Dietary supplements are not a panacea! They should never take the place of proper and consistent dietary habits or appropriate medical care, when warranted. It is important for a man or a woman to always consult with a physician if they are currently under medical care, are taking any prescription medications, or has a history of specific health problems before embarking on a vitamins regimen.
