VITAMINS AND MINERALS: THE B VITAMINS
If the B vitamin status of the nation was better fewer prescriptions for tranquillizers would be issued and there would be fewer worried tired, sad people around. But before you rush out for a bottle of B complex there are a few things to learn that might be helpful.
It is always best to be guided by a doctor or nutritionist about the supplements you need, but if this is not possible, here is some information on the supplements most commonly used. A hundred years ago this information would not have been necessary, but alas, the days when a good diet was the only precaution necessary against nutritional deficiencies have gone. The awful things that we do to food and to ourselves – polluted food, processed food, fad diets, hindrance of absorption by alcohol consumption, medical drugs and street drugs, as well as heavy consumption of tea and coffee all cause nutritional deficiencies. When you see how many of the vitamins and minerals depend on each other for their full use, you will see that it is essential to have a varied diet and a clean bowel in good working order.
Supplements should be regarded as a medicine; take them for a time (unless otherwise instructed by your physician) until health is restored; after that the situation should be reviewed.
