Let's be honest; we all desire greater health and vitality. Vitamins and minerals may be able to help you achieve it.
Did you know that, according to the Mayo Clinic, mild vitamin B6 deficiency is "common"? But who thinks about their B6 intake on a daily basis? Few to none, I'm afraid.
Iron deficiency, which produces anemia, is quite common among women.
Potassium deficiency can produce painful muscle cramps, especially in the feet.
