Are you getting enough essential vitamins your body needs to stay healthy? More than likely — you’re not. In fact, nearly one-third (31 percent) of the U.S. population is at risk for at least one vitamin deficiency or anemia.
The best way to get enough of the essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet from a variety of foods. But when you can’t get everything you need from food (or because you aren’t following a balanced diet due to a hectic schedule or lifestyle changes), vitamins are always a great plan B.
And while there are many vitamins on the market with many different benefits, it can be hard to determine which ones you should be taking. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, get an energy boost, or simply a daily energy boost, we’ve outlined a few great vitamins that you should be taking each day, what each vitamin does—and how to achieve the recommended daily intake through a healthy diet.
