ExploreVitamins helps you and your family get all the vitamins you need, whether through food or supplements. We start with the basics: what vitamins actually are, why your body needs them, and whether you can get enough from diet alone.
Different people need different vitamins depending on age and gender, so we look at what men, women, children and older people actually need. We break vitamins down into key groups and cover things like antioxidants, which get a lot of hype in the media but might not live up to it.
We explain how vitamins affect your health, including deficiency diseases like scurvy and rickets, and whether vitamin supplements can sometimes do more harm than good. We also look at how vitamins can improve your eyes, hair, skin and heart health.
