One or more dietary deficiencies affect 31% of Americans, putting them at risk. The human body is a sophisticated web that requires a wide range of vitamins and minerals in order to function properly. It's difficult to plan and regulate our diets so that we obtain all of the nutrients we require, and even if you do, there's no assurance that your body will absorb and utilize those nutrients properly.

After all, each vitamin or mineral serves a specific job in the body, so it's only natural that missing one would disrupt that process.
