Many people don't think that they need to take vitamin supplements	because, after all, the human body did not evolve to need supplements	– as long as you eat a balanced diet, you can get everything that your	body needs, right? While it is certainly true that people living a thousand	years ago did not have multivitamins, they also did not have thousands	of tons of toxic chemicals being pumped into their environment every year;	they were not exposed to a constant man-made electromagnetic field from	power lines and cell phones; they did not eat highly processed foods that	contained artificial colors, flavors and preservatives; they were not	sedentary; and they were not under constant stress at work and at home.	Our bodies were simply not designed for a fast-paced, high-stress, highly	processed lifestyle.
The reality is that we need to give our body some help in order to stay	healthy in the world today. That's where supplements come in. Supplements	help to ensure that your body gets all of the extra vitamins, minerals,	phytonutrients and probiotics necessary to function the way it should.
