Pharmotherapeutic Group & Information
Vitamins and minerals are chemical substances that are vital to the maintenance of normal body functions. Most people obtain enough vitamins and minerals in their diet, but some people have vitamin deficiencies. Serious nutritional deficiencies lead to diseases such as pellagra and beriberi, which must be treated by a physician. People who have an inadequate or restricted diet, people who have certain disorders or debilitating illnesses, and women who are pregnant or breast-feeding are among those who may benefit from taking supplemental vitamins and minerals. Supplements are also useful to people with special conditions, including the elderly, shut-ins, alcohol users, smokers and those on very restricted diets, who tend to be poorly nourished or have high cholesterol levels.
