All About Multi Vitamin Supplements?

For the human body to perform at its maximum potential, it must be fed a vast and complex array of vital nutrients. Becoming deficient in just one of these essential vitamins or minerals breaks down the metabolic pathway that produces optimum efficiency and performance declines.

Many people on special or restrictive diets do not get the full-range of vitamins that they may need. Investing in a quality multi vitamin supplement is important and will save you in the long run. An inexpensive multivitamin often has less of the important micor-nutrients that you need.

For decades, health experts have issued platitudes like �you don�t need vitamins if you eat a balanced diet.� Yet an estimated 40 percent of Americans take a supplement, and it�s most likely to be a multivitamin / mineral.

It makes sense to get roughly the Recommended Daily Values for most multi vitamin and mineral supplement just in case you don�t get them from food. That�s especially true for women because, on average, they eat less food than men or eat less nutritious food.

What�s more, many people run short on some key nutrients, possibly raising their risk of heart disease or birth defects (folic acid), weakened bones (vitamin D), or irreversible nerve damage (vitamin B-12).

Of course, you can�t expect a supplement to make up for a lousy diet. Vitamins or no vitamins, you still have to eat enough fruits and vegetables, beans, whole grains, and low-fat dairy, poultry, and fish. And you still have to limit fatty meats and dairy products, pastries, commercially fried foods, and sweets. You may want to use a whole food vitamin in combination with your multi vitamin supplement.

But a healthy diet and a supplement may be the best of both worlds. The question is which supplement... or supplements?

It�s not as simple as taking 100 percent of the DV for everything. We already get too much of some nutrients, and some others won�t fit into a multi-vitamin.

A special note about iron:
No amount of iron is right (or wrong) for everyone. But many people men and postmenopausal women, who don�t menstruate should look for zero to 10 mg to lower the risk of iron overdose. Iron in supplements may also cause constipation.
