Some people need vitamin supplements because they have particular medical conditions that can lead to deficiencies. People who do not have a regular balanced diet—because they are poor, abuse alcohol, or have dietary restrictions (like being vegans), for example—may well need particular vitamin pills. The same is true for people with various gut conditions—like Crohn's disease, celiac disease, chronic diarrhea, or gastric bypass surgery—that interfere with the absorption of vitamins in food. People on dialysis for kidney failure need vitamin supplements. Adults of all ages who get very little exposure to sunlight—for example, those who are homebound or in an institution—may need vitamin D supplements.
There are some people who are born with a genetic condition that interferes with the metabolism of B vitamins. I'm one of them. People like us need to take a high-dose vitamin B supplement each day.
Also known as L-ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods and added to a few others. And unlike most animals, humans cannot synthesize this vitamin – which is why it is an indispensable dietary component.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps regenerate other antioxidants in the body. It improves the absorption of non-heme iron and plays a vital role in building connective tissue and wound healing. It also delays the damaging effects of free radicals on the skin and body.
