FACTS YOU SHOULD
KNOW
ABOUT VITAMINS!
Q. What Are Vitamins?
A. Vitamins are regulators
that help our bodies change
food into energy and Ii»*ur
each of us need them every
day for normal health,
growth and vigor.
Q. Don't I Get Enough Vitamins in
— Food?
A. Even if we followed a perfect diet (and
most of us dent) we would not be sure of
getting enough vitamins because the vita-
min contents of food varies with the season,
the soil, and with different method* of
processing, shipping, storing and cooking.
The quantity of certain vitamins in food
may vary as much at 80%.
% What Happens When We Don't
A. A ‘cranky" child: a ‘grouchy" husband: a
“tired run down" mother . . . each may
be suffering from a long term- vitamin de-
ficiency so common among Americans with-
out even suspecting it.
2 Do I Need Vitamins in the
Summer?
A. Definitely yes! In summer, reduced food
intake plus excessive perspiring, often, de-
pletes our vitamin supply faster. We need
vitamins all year round.
Q. Are Vitamins Fattening?
A. The amount of calories in the average multi-
vitamin is very negligible and cannot be
considered fatening. Dieters should take
extra vitamin, because very ehen their
diets are deficient in vitamins. .
Q. Art Benson Vitamins Guaranteed?
A. The formula end potency as outlined on
every BENSON vitamin label is guaranteed
to conform to the rigid standards outlined
by the United States Food & Drug Ad-
ministration. They assure sour family of
uniform, high quality protection.
