A healthy diet and lifestyle ought to provide us with all the vitamins, minerals and other factors we require. However, unfortunately due to the nature of our day to day lives we are often unable to pay proper attention to our nutritional well being and therefore a multivitamin and mineral supplement may help to plug those gaps in our diet. Multi Vitamins + Minerals Vitamins are substances that are required in very small amounts by the body for healthy growth and development. Vitamins are subdivided into water-soluble and fat-soluble categories. Water soluble vitamins (B and C) that are not used are excreted from the body and must be taken regularly. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) dissolve in fats and oil and can be stored in the body. Minerals are elements that are required in
varying amounts, from iron and calcium for healthy blood and bones to tiny amounts of copper and fluorine to carry out essential chemical reactions. Minerals required in very small amounts are known as trace elements. The body cannot manufacture vitamins or minerals and must receive adequate supplies in the diet. A healthy diet is undeniably the best way to provide us with all the vitamins and minerals our bodies require, but with the exacting demands of modern life, it is not always possible to eat what we know we should. A multivitamin and mineral supplement may help to plug those gaps in our diet. The Recommended Daily Amounts (RDA’s) set for vitamins were designed in 1941 to ensure diseases caused by vitamin and mineral deficiency were avoided. The Benefits of Multivitamins and
