Is a healthy diet enough?

«To be honest, who really knows how many vitamins tomatoes contain that have never seen a grain of soil in their Dutch greenhouses?»

Prof. K. H. Schmidt, Tubingen, in an interview with Brigitte magazine, 1989

Prof. Dr. Linus Pauling on the topic:

«The optimal daily vitamin requirement is much higher than the amount of vitamins that can be ingested, even if we are eating food that is particularly rich in vitamins. To meet the vitamin requirements necessary to keep in the best of health, we have to take additional vitamin supplements.»

(Excerpt from ‘How to Live Longer and Feel Better’, Goldmann; Prof. Pauling, 1901-1994, double Nobel Prize laureate)
