The reason one should take a good natural organic vitamin is all foods today, if not organic, first, are grown on large farms fertilized with nitrate base fertilizers. Which don't give nutrients to food to produce vitamins. And since the ground no longer has the minerals in it for the plants to absorb food has very little value. There is very little or no nutrients in the ground today. Second, the seeds we use are genetically altered, so our bodies don't know what to do with it. Third, when the food is harvest it goes to the manufacture to be stripped of any nutrients in it to make it into products then vitamins and minerals are added to it. Those vitamins and minerals are synthetic which the body can't or won't absorb. Anything that is boxed, wrapped, bottled and canned has little value. Fourth, fresh vegetable and fruits are nuked, which is mircrowaved, to kill parasites. If after all this and you understand can see why so many people are sick, have mental problems and the quality of life sucks. And last, anything you eat, drink, and breath is toxic. You want to know why so many people are fat, and that is both sexes.
