Mutli Vitamins and Vitaplen

Who needs a multivitamin anyway?

Are you taking a multi vitamin like Vitaplen? More and more Americans are taking these supplements than ever, and confusion about who should take multi vitamins, and what should be in them, is growing. While nutrition research continues to show the declining nutrition value in the staple foods of the average diet, getting our nutrients from a healthy, balanced diet is no longer the answer, many Americans tend to fall short in a variety of vitamins and minerals.

So to answer the question who need to take these supplements, we believe the answer is everyone. There are groups that may need a multi vitamin more than the rest, they would include persons over age 60, women who are or may become pregnant, premenopuaseal women, vegan's, dieter's, people with limited resources, and heavy drinkers to name a few.

My multi vitamin should have...

Any good one should have 100% of the Daily Value of vitamin A( at least 50% of this should be in the form of bete carotene), B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6, B12, folic acid, and D. As for minerals, it is recommended that a supplement include up 100% of Daily Value for copper, zinc, magnesium, iron, iodine, selenium (not more than 200 mcg.). Most multivitamins also contain tiny amounts of trace minerals such as boron, manganese, and molybdenum. This is a very good base for any multi vitamin, now you can look at produces that have addition nutrients which would be beneficial to you individually. Your daily routine should look like this;

  1. balanced diet
  2. plenty of water
  3. multi vitamin
  4. any other supplementation you specifically might need

Which multi vitamin is best?

There are many produces on the market today, some good and some not so good. We can send you to some of the better produces we have researched like Vitaplen, Nutritech and Xtendilife. Use the recommended daily value listed above as a base guide, your multi vitamin must have at least those nutrients. Your multi vitamin should have all natural rather than synthetic ingredients. The natural ingredients are absorbed much better by the body. Then continue to research and find the multi vitamin which best meets your specific needs. Here are some additional resources to use.

We cant over state enough the importance of taking a quality multivitamin. The benefits of using multi vitamins are many and have been documented numerous times. They are so important that in order for you and your family to remain healthy, you and everyone in your family, must use the best a multivitamins available for your needs, on a daily basis.

The Anarem Report revealed that out of 21,500 individuals, "not a single individual consumed 100% of the 10 most needed nutrients in the body."

And U.S. Senate Document #264 states, "99% of the American people are deficient in vitamins and minerals..."

These are commonly cited sources and statistics that you may even be familiar with yourself. Now that you are armed with the proper information on what it takes to be considered the best multivitamins, find the multivitamin that is best for you and take it every day. Of course, you can’t expect a supplement to make up for a lousy diet. Vitaplen or not, 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. But a healthy diet and a quality multi vitamin may be the best of both worlds.
