A lot of people think they can get all the nutrition they need by eating proper foods.

But much of our food is now grown in nutrient depleted soil. The use of artificial fertilizers plus over-farming has seriously weaken and decreased the nutritional value of our food.

Many fruits and vegetables have been genetically engineered to look pretty and have extended life on grocery store shelves rather than on improving nutritional value. Did you know that a bowl of spinach contained about 150 mg of iron in 1948, and today the same size bowl only contains 2 mg. As a mater of fact, the Nutrition Review Journal reported that it is impossible to obtain sufficient nutrients from our modern food supply.

People don't receive all of the nutrients they need from their diet because they either can't or don't eat enough, or they can't or don't eat the right foods. For some people, including those on special diets, multivitamin-mineral supplements can provide vitamins and minerals that their diets often don't. Pregnant women and people who smoke or consume excessive amounts of alcohol, or do both, have altered nutrient needs and can benefit from a supplement.

If you don't your replacement cells could become weaker and weaker. Your new cells are going to dependent on the nutrition you have available. Proper vitamins and minerals will give you a strong robust disease fighting body.
