In case you were wondering what body parts certain vitamins nurture, here is a list.
Vitamin A vision skin
Vitamin B metabolism
Vitamin C immune system
Vitamin D bones/immune system
Vitamin E muscle & brain
Omega 3 and Vitamin D are the most important
The best way to get all of these is through a multi vitamin. There is no way for humans to eat all the nutrients that we need in a day. Dont forget your vitamins.

Some cereals with the poorest ratings even have health claims on the box.
