Vitamins & Minerals
Vitamins are wonder-kids of nutrition guaranteeing a healthy growth and development in a multicellular organism. At the moment of conception, a fetus does require certain vitamins and minerals to be available to it nutritionally, facilitating the chemical reactions producing among other things, skin, bone, and muscle. A deficiency in one or more of these nutrients, may develop a deficiency disease causing a permanent damage. And the need does not stop with age. An adult needs as much a supply of these nutrients as does the fetus.
