How to Make Your Own Vitamin Packs

Many grocery stores, convenience stores and vitamin outlets sell vitamin packs, with assortments of supplements in single-dose sizes. Although manufacturers often target these vitamin packs to people with specific needs, such as women or consumers looking for an energy boost, they still tend to be "one-size-fits-all" products, even though nutritional needs vary considerably from person to person. If you want portable, self-contained vitamin packets, you can save money and better meet your own nutritional needs by creating your own packs.
