Vitamins and minerals are certain compounds that are vital for the body to function healthily. Multivitamin tablets are responsible for the formation of our bones, growth and development of the muscles, healthy skin and hair, functioning of vital organs and even the digestion of other nutrients that we consume. These nutrients are usually found in foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meat and whole grain foods. When you are unable to include all these foods in your regular diet, using supplements like multivitamin tablets or single nutrient supplements like zinc tablets or calcium tablets becomes necessary.
