Do you need to take a Multi?

Vitamins and minerals are essential to every body function: from energy production, to growing bones, to keeping your heart beating 100,000 times a day!

While it is possible to get these nutrients from the ‘perfect diet’, in reality most people’s diet is lacking and besides the ‘perfect diet’ doesn’t exist – not anymore.

Even with a concerted effort to eat well, foods are not as nutritionally valuable as they used to be. Modern farming methods, food handling and food processing have significantly decreased the nutritional value of foods. Additionally our nutritional needs are higher than ever due to increased pollution and high levels of stress.

Taking a multi every day is an insurance policy to ensure optimal health now and in the future.

Special groups with additional nutritional considerations

People who eat a vegan (no animal products) diet need to ensure they have adequate B12 stores, this can be determined through blood testing. B12 is only found in animal products, so a strict vegan will require supplementary B12.

People who eat a vegetarian diet (no meat) need B12 and sometimes do not receive the iron they need. Symptoms of iron deficient anaemia include: mental and physical tiredness, burning muscles, breathlessness and pale skin.

Athletes, growing teens and sporty kids are undergoing rapid growth and are experiencing greater challenges to all body systems. This group need extra amounts of all nutrients in order to be able to perform at their peak and stay in good health.

People going through recovery from surgery or illness can benefit from increased nutrition, to aid healthy healing and speed healing time.

Pregnancy is a time of greater physical, emotional and hormonal stress than any other time in a woman’s life. Supplementation is a must to ensure adequate supply of macro and micro nutrients.

Anybody under stress will have increased nutritional needs as stress demands more of every single body system. During stressful times it is great to have the support of a good multi.
