An unbalanced diet can lead to vitamin deficiency, which is often the root cause of many harmful illnesses. A lack of the right vitamins and nutrients, responsible for fighting pathogens in the body, give way to a weakened immune system. This can lead to symptoms of fatigue, leaving you to feel physically and emotionally drained. It also makes the body more susceptible to harmful viruses and infections such as the cold and flu.

It is important to replenish these lost vitamins and nutrients. They also deplete during daily activities that may cause you to sweat or stress.

Oral nutritional supplementation via vitamin pills have been proven to have very limited benefit in fighting vitamin deficiency due to its poor absorption rate, which can be inhibited by many factors including alcohol consumption. Even an increased dosage of vitamin pills adds very little advantage as the majority of vitamins are expelled through urination, simply leaving you with ‘vitamin rich’ urine.
