We had a few options for nutritional supplements, i.e., vitamins. But for kids, they weren't all that prevalent, except for a few particular brands that came about.The number of vitamins that were available back in day were few but what vitamin did your mom lay out for you every morning when you were growing up?Vitamins always have been and always will be a high-profit item.
