Are mulitvitamin supplements a part of your daily routine? Healthcare experts have been telling us for decades that if we eat a balanced diet we do not need vitamin supplements. Americans have a mind of there own, they think for themselves and thet are no fools. Each year many and more Americans are taking multivitamin supplements than then the year before, however, confusion about who should take multivitamin supplements, and what should be in your multivitamin Supplement, is growing. The biggest problem is that there are no solid guidlines to follow when it comes to vitamin supplements. The closes thing we have is the RDA (recommended daily allowance) and that has fallen under intense scrutiny almost since its inception.

Most nutritional authorities claim that the American diet is no longer providing adequate amounts of essential nutrients. There are several factor that contribute to this problem including vitamin and mineral depletion in over utilized soil. The introduction of unnatural growth stimulants into the food chain in the form of fertilizers, pesticides, and growth steroid hormones.

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 a multi vitamin, we believe the answer is everyone.

The most recent research indicates that several of the nutrients found in standard multi or Liquid Vitamin supplements play important roles in preventing chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. A daily multivitamin ensures an adequate intake of several micronutrients that are not always present in the diet in optimal amounts. We cant over state enough the importance of taking a quality multivitamin. The benefits of using multivitamin supplements 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 multivitamin 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.

Multivitamin supplements help, BUT a Balanced diet is the key.
while taking a quality multivitamin is important for optimal nuturitional haelth, you can't expect that supplement to make up for a poor diet. You still have to eat well, taking in enough fruits and vegetables, beans, whole grains, and low-fat dairy, poultry, and fish. At the same time staying away from, or at least limiting fatty meats and full fat dairy products, commercially fried foods, pastries and sweets, weather you are taking a Multivitamin supplements or not taking multivitamin supplements. But a healthy diet and a quality multivitamin may be the best of both worlds.
