As humans we certain vitamins to function and stay alive.
When the SHTF we won't be able to get certain vitamins such as vitamin C which comes from oranges, seeing these come from climates that don't exist in this country.
Would it be a good idea to store vitamins pills/supplements?

It is alway handy to have spare vitamins but remember people lived for thousand of years in the UK without supplimenting their food. Try and get your vitamins from natural sources. Vits don't last forever.

Yes, and life expectancy was 35 and infant mortality was above 50% in the first year and 50% of the survivors did not make it to age 10.
Practally no one made it to 30 with any of their teeth.
Buy a lifetime supply.

None of them had the knowledge we have now and that is why we are prepping and that must include making sure we grow the right food. In the olden days only the poor died young. Look as the age of the titled class and the religious class. God didn't takle some of them for quite some time.
