Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation

A high-quality broad spectrum multi-vitamin-mineral is an important step to a healthier foundation. Diet and nutrition are definitely the basics for a health and well-being, but here are some reasons why just about everyone should also supplement with a multi-vitamin-mineral.

(There are some individuals who may not need extra vitamins and minerals.

1. Subtle vitamin/mineral deficiencies are common among  adults.

2.Vitamin/mineral supplementation helps to overcome and compensate for a sluggish metabolism. For example, an acidic environment is required to absorb calcium, and vitamin B12 metabolism depends on intrinsic factor and hydrochloric acid often found out of balance in the stomach.

3. Our bodies are not able to make vitamins on their own, and as these are “vital” we require a complete source.

4. Agricultural practices such as over-harvesting, poor soil nutrition, processing and many other factors provide foods that are low in nutrient value.

5. Stress, found in abundance in our modern culture, depletes the body’s storage of vitamin and mineral content and thereby increases their need.

6. High doses of certain vitamins, especially in conjunction with a healthy low-sugar diet, help to promote optimal functioning of the immune system.

7. High doses of certain vitamins help to prevent the development of certain cancers and also kill some cancer cells.

8. Supplementation with vitamins and minerals helps to maintain a healthy balance and thereby ward off many diseases, including depression and anxiety.
