Why do we need vitamin supplements

vita c shaklee

I used to take one or two vitamin supplements throughout my life since childhood, mostly vitamin C and folic acid, since I got pregnant with my first child. There were long periods of time I did not consume any vitamin supplements for the assumption I did not have any problem with my health. And not that I am reaching 35 and pregnant for the third time, my appetite seems to become upside down, probably depleting me from important nutrients that my body and my growing baby needed.

I tried hard to eat right, but my appetite just could not seem to cooperate. Hence I decided I had to start pampering my body with the benefit of vitamins supplements from now on. I have already heard of Shaklee vitamins for quite some time from close friends so there was not much hesitation before I start consuming their Vitamin C and B Complex. I believe Shaklee was one of the pioneering manufacturer of natural and organic health supplements, way back in the 60’s!

I have heard many advise from dietitians and nutritionists about the danger of some commercial vitamins that may pose danger of high toxin levels if consumed without proper prescription from a medical practitioner. So finding the better choice for supplements is really important.

Two weeks of consuming Shaklee’s vitamin C, I started to notice some improvements in my health and my complexion as well as my immune system. I will elaborate about them in my next entry. Cheers!
