Course overview

By discussing the therapeutic use of these vitamins and the ever-expanding information for their utilization. It is a little over 110 years ago that Casimir Funk elucidated the need for "vital amines" that were isolated from the foods we eat. Vitamin supplementation in America for the most part, like most everything in America is done to excess! Many prescription products are known to cause vitamin depletion, and hence the need for supplementation. The pharmacist is the best choice for assisting with nutrient depletions caused by drug therapy.
