Vitamins
Ever see the food group pyramid - the number of servings from each of
the basic food groups recommended by the USDA? With today's busy lifestyles,
it's getting harder to eat enough of the right foods to stay healthy. For
example, the recommended amount of vegetables is 5 to 9 servings a day!
And that increases if you smoke, drink alcohol, diet, exercise strenuously,
or are under stress.
According to the American Council on Science and Health, only about 10%
of Americans fulfill the minimum requirements. So more and more people are
turning to vitamin and mineral supplements in an effort to stay healthier.
Every year we're learning more about the benefits of certain vitamins and
minerals for the human body. For example, research indicates that antioxidant
vitamins (Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Beta Carotene) may be helpful in fighting
cancer and cardiovascular disease while boosting the overall immune system.
Walgreens is dedicated to selling the highestquality vitamin and
mineral supplements available. That's why we carry a huge selection of all
the popular name brands at everyday low prices. We also carry a complete
