• An increasing number of the world's population is now eager and interested in looking after their health and in keeping in tune with their well-being. It is important to note that this awareness is increasingly contributing to the creation of several health supplements to benefit both adults and children.

 

• An excellent daily multivitamin supplement does not only develop your general bodily functions but also improves your mental and physical condition and well being. Multivitamin supplements include all the vitamins and nutrients essential for recommended daily dosage. They are also formulated to meet the needs of individual conditions like pregnancy and specific age brackets. It is a well settled fact that multivitamins in liquid form are more efficient than the ordinary pill forms. This is due to the fact that the body can easily absorb liquid nutrients five times more than ordinary multivitamins in capsule form.

 

• Basically the body needs 13 essential vitamins to function properly and it regulates crucial performance of the body. They are A, B, C, D, E, K, B12, and the 7 B-complex vitamins. Majority of these vitamins are obtained by our body through the food that we eat. This is the main reason that is very important to eat a balance diet.

 

• Taking multivitamin supplements everyday reduces the risk of transmitting malnutrition from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby. Other conditions such as old age, alcoholism, smoking, and exposure to excessive pollution have long-term harmful effects to the body system which can be successfully counteracted by multivitamins.

 

• Stress is also one risk factor which multivitamins can provide supplementation for. Especially with people who have so much to do and have a hard time keeping up with their daily health needs; multivitamins are a must to keep them always on the go without any health complications in the long run. Stress formulations benefit both your mental ability and daily patience.

 

• While daily intake of multivitamin supplements may have proven benefits, it is not a 100% guarantee that you will be free of serious illness attributed to other factors. It is often a misconception that symptoms of disease may always be cured by taking multivitamins. Health experts have the better opinion of immediate medical assistance rather than resorting to multivitamins alone.

 

• Health experts do agree an excellent daily multivitamin supplement does not only develop your general bodily functions but also improves your mental and physical condition and well being..^[1]

 

 

 

 

Major Functions of Vitamins-

 

• Help Chemical reactions take place.

 

• Critical in the production of red blood cells and the maintenance of the nervous, skeletal, and immune systems.

 

• Act as antioxidants, which help preserve healthy cells in the body.^[3]

 

Main Sources of Vitamins-

 

• Vitamins are abundant in fruits, vegetables, and grains.

 

• Many processed foods, such as flour and breakfast cereals, contain added vitamins.

 

• Skin makes vitamin D when it is exposed to sunlight, and intestinal bacteria make vitamin K.^[4]

 

 

Now to illustrate how important vitamins are, lets look at Vitamin C...

 

Vitamin C - also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Unlike most mammals, humans do not have the ability to make their own vitamin C. Therefore, we must obtain vitamin C through our diet.^[5] 

 

•  Humans cannot synthesize it so it is an ESSENTIAL VITAMIN - which means humans must acquire it through food or supplements. 

 

• Vitamin C has a very specific fatal disease associated  with a deficiency of its intake (scurvy) - which conversely can be cured simply by intake of the Vitamin

  

• It effects the collagen elasticity and it plays a role in blood vessel health 

 

• It is effected by levels of carboxyhemoglobin and conversely effects levels of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood - and this is important because carboxyhemoglobin forms when carbon monoxide intake happens - (smoking increases CO thus carboxyhemoglobin) 

  

• Carboxyhemoglobin effects lipid characteristics. ^[6]  Cholestorol is a lipid for example.  Carboxyhemoglobin causes lipids to be more sticky and thus more prone to clump and go into blood vessle walls.  Which increases the risk of coronary disease.  If Vit C can clear out some of the carboxyhemoglobin then we are less prone (incrementally better at least) to the devastating effects of carboxyhemoglobin.
