Plants do manufacture vitamins, but they cannot
produce minerals. Every mineral needs other minerals to support it in order to do its job effectively. It is a fact that you cannot get all the
minerals you need from today's food, no matter how healthful you eat. And if you do not have all 73 essential minerals, the chemical reactions that make vitamins, and most other
supplements, useable will not take place. Vitamins regulate numerous metabolic processes and perform as: co-enzymes for energy production,
antioxidants and regulators of metabolism. People, especially body builders, need vitamins to help aid in the release of energy from fat and
carbohydrates. Everyday exposure to physical stress, exercise and poor dietary habits increase your need for quality nutrients.
