Printed in Canada CONTENTS 1 A Message From The Publisher This book provides a simple overview of the common vitamins and minerals available to help you supplement your diet when appropriate. The information within this book is basic and does not claim to provide in any way comprehensive information of the subject matter but hopefully it can point you in the right direction when you need more information. All the information has come primarily from the government and authoritative bodies recommending daily intakes and pinpointing the limits of dosages per day.
