Vitamins are, anyway, only a small part of the story!!
The body also needs supplements.
Supplement means “increasing the amount”.
Supplements are substances like amino acids, short chain fatty acids, electrolytes, anti-oxidants etc.
Your body makes most these itself, but for various reasons the amounts made are too little or the amounts lost are too high.
Intravenous (IV) vitamin “booster” drips seem to be all the rage right now. It seems one can get such a drip almost anywhere. Especially in light of COVID – as an attempt to build or improve immunity.
Are these drips cost effective and helpful, though?
Vitamins serve as “helping agents” (catalysts) in many chemical reactions in the body – they do NOT take part in the reactions, but facilitates them.
Some vitamins are needed in minute amounts and are usually supplied in a good diet. Any excess is simply excreted in the urine. Overdosing on them just ends up “making expensive urine” with very little extra benefit.
On the other hand, other vitamins, to be effective need to be, or can be, given in high doses and many vitamins drips do not contain enough of these. Mainly because, sometimes, the drips are not administered under supervision of a medical doctor or even a nursing sister. So the doses are small so as to err on the side of safety. But at the expense of effectiveness.

What can contribute to deficiency of these substances?
Most commonly:
a. STRESS – leading to anxiety and depression. Worse in this COVID period.
b. Chronic pain and pain medication.
So the low natural amounts can be increased by ‘supplementing’ them – giving supplements.
It is these supplements that help the body to function better with more energy, less pain and, above all right now, clearer head and thinking and, VERY importantly, improved immunity.
Probiotics and Prebiotics, which help immunity a lot, can be supplement by mouth making the IV supplements probably even more effective
