Stating the Case for Multivitamins:

The U.S. Surgeon General has highlighted the fact that of the 2.4 million deaths in the United States each year, a staggering 75% result from avoidable nutritional factor diseases.

Professionals agree that our diets do not have the necessary balance of vitamins and nutrients.

Recently, studies have shown that a large number of staple foods no longer have the nutrition they once had. Here is one example sourced from the Japan Standardized Ingredients List:

Amounts of Vitamin C in 100g of Spinach

• 1950 = 150mg
• 1963 = 100mg
• 1982 = 063mg
• 1994 = 013mg

Here’s another interesting fact: According to the American Journal of Cardiology, over 70% of cardiologists use supplements to help prevent heart related issues but their patients do not.
So, what occurs if our diet is out of balance and lacking the vital ingredients our bodies require on a daily basis?

Why The Attraction Of Multivitamin Supplements?:

A lack of minerals, nutrients and vitamins can contribute to sicknesses like heart and degenerative diseases, high blood pressure, cholesterol, cancer and osteoporosis. Lowered resistance may also be linked to other issues such as fatigue, headaches, mood swings,  nervous dispositions and a greater susceptibility to colds, influenza and pneumonia.

If we are honest - most of us lack a healthy diet. Our exercise strategy is poor and what we eat and drink usually lacks more than one important nutrient. Good quality organic vitamins, multivitamin tablets and nutritional supplements can greatly improve our quality of life. The conclusion is clear to us all – we need additional nutritional help!

Choosing Vitamins: Nutrition Supplements

Vitamins in a capsule form are one of the ideal delivery systems. Enteric coatings help vitamins get to the ideal part of the digestive system prior to release. The best supplements include a list of active ingredients so you can determine whether they are right for you. Active ingredients daily and the nutrient categories should be clearly stated on any supplement labeling.

You need to be reminded that vitamin tablets and nutrition supplements are an “extra” to your diet, they do not replace it. We advise that you consult your health professional prior to using any supplement on an ongoing basis.
