Even if you are following a healthy and balanced nutrition program (which let's face it, few of us do all of the time), it's very difficult to obtain all of the vitamins and minerals your body needs to maintain peak health and fitness.
There are a number of reasons for this, including reduced nutrient quality of soils, and loss of nutrients from cooking, storage and processing of foods.
This is even more so for those who exercise regularly and at a high intensity: Our nutritional needs are even greater given the additional stresses we place on our body, and of course we need to make sure we are consuming the correct ratio of nutrients to ensure we are able to perform at the highest level and continue to make improvements.
