for you: ONE A DAY Multiple Vitamin Capsules
Why Vitamins 7
You can't be sure that three square meals a day will give you your daily, hasic supply of vita mins. Improperly balanced diet-loss of vitamins in food preparation-little or no vitamins in highly purified foo's-all contribute to vitamii deficiency and its consequences. Moreover, con- 'ditions involving growth or tissue repair, sucht as pregnancy, nursing, infancy, strenuous exer-' cito, fever, convalescence and prolonged or wast ing liners, may cause an increased need for, vitamíny.
Why Multiple Vitamins?
It's very soldom that an individual is deficiant! in only one or two vitamins. A diet causing do- fielency in one vitamin is likely to cause other associated vitamin deficiencies. That is why wa: suggest that you take multiplo vitamina. The vitamins you may not need can't hurt y021 those you do need will help you!
Why One-A-Bay (brand) Multiple Vitamin Capsules ? Here's the convenient, pleasant, low-cost way of getting your daily supply of all those vitarains for which human requirements have been estab lished: ONE-A-DAY (brand) MULTIPLE VITAN MIN CAPSULES. In a single, tiny captulo you get 8 importent vitamins. So vitamin-tich that you' 'don't need 3 or 4 daily, but only ONE. Safe! Especially designed for regular use as a dist supplement. Guaranteed! No higher quality, or more scientifically-compounded vitamins 'any, where, at any cost!
