And if they don't take the supplement, they can get sick through the various deficiencies that I've been mentioning.
Then a celiac disease is a big one for vitamins.
And the reason for that is, of course, celiac disease is a disease where your immune system attacks gluten.
Gluten occurs in wheat, you get a big immune response, turns into an autoimmune disease on a protein linked to gluten, right?
And that damages the gut.
And that means you can't absorb certain vitamins from the diet.
So celiac vitamins are recommended for them.
And people with inflammatory.
inflammatory bowel disease.
Where again where the gut isn't normal and can't take up vitamins properly, so very often they're giving given uh vitamins as well to help them because they can't take up sufficient from the diet.
All you're doing there is you're compensating for a a less efficient uptake mechanism.
So you give more, you feed in more.
Let's say your gut can only take up ten percent if it's got inflammatory bowel disease.
Ten percent of the vitamins you give it, if you give loads of vitamins, that that's enough then to
uh make sure the vitamins are topped up.
Even though you you're taking up ten percent, you're giving more.
So it's important for those diseases to consider vitamin supplements.
And then folic acid, as I mentioned
Uh my great colleague John Scott, as I mentioned already, you need that before you get pregnant and during the early stages of pregnancy, because the developmental process that lays down what's called a neural tube, folic acid is required for that.
That was a really good breakthrough, wasn't it?
