Many Kiwis now don’t get enough vitamins and minerals from diet alone.
The New Zealand Ministry of Health’s ‘NZ Adult Nutrition Survey’ of 2008/2009 included these key findings:
Around 20 percent of people fail to get sufficient levels of Vitamin A (one of our major anti-oxidant vitamins, vital for gene expression, eye health and cell division), B1 and B6 (both essential for energy creation).

Eight percent of people fail to get sufficient B12. Vitamin B12 is required for proper functioning of nerve cells and without adequate B12 people can suffer from a form of anaemia.
Nearly 10 percent of women don’t get enough iron. Iron deficiency results in anaemia, lethargy and loss of muscle strength and endurance.
Around 25 percent of people don’t consume enough zinc, important for immune function and testosterone. Interestingly, nearly 40 percent of males may not get adequate zinc from their diet, which could increase the risk of colds and flu and reduce the ability to build muscle.
And 45 percent of people don’t get enough selenium, a mineral lacking in New Zealand soils which is vital to thyroid function and metabolic rate.
