About Vitamins

Vitamins are essential for good health and a lack of one or more vitamins can lead to disease. Multivitamin supplement pills are sometimes taken to make up for a lack of certain vitamins in your diet.

Taking large quantities of vitamins is a waste of time and money and can be dangerous. However, excess vitamin C is excreted by your body. Overcooking vegetables breaks down the vitamin C so the goodness is lost.
