Multivitamins and Multimineral / 90 tbs

multivitamins and minerals is a combination of many different vitamins and minerals that are normally found in foods and other natural sources. Multivitamins and minerals are used to provide substances that are not taken in through the diet. Multivitamins and minerals are also used to treat vitamin or mineral deficiencies caused by illness, pregnancy, poor nutrition, digestive disorders, certain medications, and many other conditions.

Health Benefits

Multivitamins are designed to fill nutritional gaps. There are different brands and formulations, and each will list the percent daily value (DV) or recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of the nutrients in one serving.

A label that lists 100% DV of vitamin D means the formula provides 100% of the vitamin D you need each day. This is based on a 2,000-calorie diet, so if you eat more or less, you’ll need to make some adjustments.

The following populations should discuss taking a multivitamin with their doctor:

Postmenopausal Women

Calcium and vitamin D supplements can help strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis

Age 50 and Over. Vitamin B12 helps form red blood cells, supports brain and nerve function and makes DNA. The body doesn’t absorb all the B12 it needs from food, so a supplement might be necessary, especially if you’re over the age of 50.

Adults Taking Specific Medications

Certain prescriptions can deplete the body of important minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium. Others prevent your body from absorbing some nutrients. Ask your doctor if you need extra supplements.

 

People With Malabsorption Condition Diseases that prevent your body from digesting food increases the chance of malabsorption. These include:

• • Celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, and cystic fibrosis

• • Gastric bypass surgery

• • Illnesses that cause diarrhea or vomiting

• • Alcoholism or alcohol abuse

 

 

Healthy Growth of Fetuses Folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects during the first months of pregnancy and is essential for women of child-bearing age. The recommended RDA is 400 micrograms or 100% DV. Check your pantry, as some cereals and products contain folic acid. Support Skin Health Vitamin C is an antioxidant that fights free radical damage and helps the body make collagen, which heals wounds and keeps your skin smooth and healthy. A multivitamin with 250mg will meet DV/RDA requirements for most people. Promote Bone and Muscle Function Vitamin D helps your muscles function properly and allows your body to absorb calcium from food to keep your bones healthy. Check with your doctor if you don’t spend much time outdoors in the sunlight, have dark skin, or are overweight, as you may need to take additional supplements. Immune System Support Vitamin E and vitamin D support your immune system and protect your cells from damage that can lead to diseases. Dosage: Take 1 tablet a Day with food
