Step-by-step explanation:

There are many vitamins and minerals found in a variety of food. Although some people experience deficiencies in these essential nutrients, and are required to eat more of some foods or take supplements. Supplements are usually taken as a last resort, because they sometimes are not completely absorbed by the body.

For example, Vitamin D is easily produced by exposing the skin to sunlight, however if you live in areas where there is very little sunlight, a supplement may be required.
