Do we need more vitamins and minerals?

A balanced and varied diet -- not too much of anything -- will normally supply enough from a nutrition point of view. There may be problems for children, adolescents, the elderly, women during pregnancy and lactation, and people on slimming diets. These people would probably benefit from a vitamin and mineral supplement.
