We will all at some point or another in our lives need the extra support of a nutrient supplement for varying reasons. This can be even more true for those eating a plant based or vegan diet, are sick or have low immunity, or are doing lots of exercise or training; and that’s not to mention the fact that most just don’t get the vitamins and minerals they need from diets often overloaded with fast foods and refined sugar.
