We all think we know vitamins – and we’re told they’re essential – but why do we really need them? Can we get what we need from our food or should we turn to supplements to fill in the gaps?
THE CURIOUS CASE OF VITAMINS AND ME consults with leading health and nutrition experts in an attempt to debunk myths and misconceptions around vitamins and supplements, and determine the best course of action for optimal nutritional health. At the prestigious National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, Bryce Sage meets with experts in an attempt to decipher the ‘Daily Values’ numbers found on food labels, and to determine how those values are calculated. While it’s clear that a balanced diet is the best way to get the recommended daily requirements for all 13 essential vitamins, Bryce learns we may not be getting exactly what we need due to nutrition declines that can be attributed to modern agricultural practices.
Using a fast paced, fun and energetic style THE CURIOUS CASE OF VITAMINS AND ME is Bryce’s second documentary, which he wrote and directed for Merit Motion Pictures. It is distributed internationally by TVF International.
