Vitamin And Mineral Supplements You Don't Need
We all know that for a healthy body, we need to consume certain vitamins and minerals. These are required by the body to carry out numerous functions, but the body can't manufacture on its own in adequate quantities. However, according to latest research, our body does not require certain vitamins and supplements.
Minerals and vitamins are often called micronutrients since your body needs only small amounts of them. A combination of calcium, vitamins D and K, magnesium and phosphorus shields your bones against breaks. Vitamin D enables the body to pick calcium out of food sources passing through your digestive tract as opposed to absorbing it from your bones.

Contrary to common belief, some water soluble vitamins may remain within the body for long time periods. You probably have many years of supply of vitamin B12 in the liver.
Now let us discuss the vitamin and mineral supplements that you do not need to take. The first is calcium supplements. Women have been told to take calcium supplements for strong bones.

Vitamin E , according to latest research, has been responsible for causing cancer. Earlier, vitamin E was recommended for the prevention of diseases like Alzheimer's, cataracts, heart diseases, etc.
