Why should I take a multi-vitamin/multi-mineral supplement anyway?

Today’s diets are depleted of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients due to the decreasing quality of our food supply and busy lifestyles

Can a multi-vitamin really keep you younger, longer?

Research has shown that taking a multi-vitamin may indeed keep you younger, longer!! A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that people who take a daily multivitamin had younger DNA. This study found those who took a multivitamin had 5.1% longer telomeres (by modulating oxidative stress and chronic inflammation) than non-users. Telomeres are part of your DNA that protect your chromosomes, and are thought to be a marker of biological aging. The shorter your telomeres, the more your at risk for serious diseases. (Am J Clin Nutr. 2009 Jun;89(6):1857-63)

Benefits of a complete hypo-allergenic, nutrient rich, highly bioavailable multi-vitamin, multi-mineral, & trace element supplement:

·I    Increased energy and mental clarity

Antioxidants important for cardiovascular, immune, and cellular health

Support various physiological functions, including nervous system health, bone health,   nutrient and hormone metabolism, and glucose utilization

Chelated minerals for optimal absorption

Optimal health and longevity

Improved academic performance 

A recent study in the journal Pediatrics revealed teenagers who consumer higher amounts of the B-vitamin Folate, have higher academic scores compared to teens with lower levels. (Pediatrics. 2011 Aug;128(2):e358-65)
