In today’s fast-paced world, vitamins and dietary supplements have become a popular solution for those seeking better health, more energy, or a stronger immune system. Supermarket shelves are lined with colorful bottles promising everything from improved focus to better sleep. But are they truly necessary for everyone? For many healthy adults who eat a balanced diet, supplements may not be essential. Foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products provide the vitamins and minerals your body needs. However, for certain people—like pregnant women, the elderly, vegetarians, or those with specific health conditions—supplements can help fill nutritional gaps.
