Multivitamin Supplements

 Multivitamin is one of the basic supplements that most people should be taking.  It is not a substitute for a healthy, well-balanced diet.  Multivitamin supplement should be a complement to a healthy diet. In order for the body to function properly it is important to ensure that it is getting the fuel it needs and there is no gaps in what it need and what is provided by a diet.  A multivitamin does a great job of filling in those gaps.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Nutrition is the foundation for health and development. Better nutrition means stronger immune systems, less illness and better health. Healthy children learn better. Healthy people are stronger, more productive, and more able to create opportunities to gradually break the cycles of both poverty and hunger in a sustainable way. Better nutrition is a prime entry point to ending poverty and a milestone to achieving better quality of life.”

How to chose the right Multivitamin Supplement?

Pick the formula that’s right for you. Women have different nutrition needs at different stages in their lives. For instance, menstruating women need to have enough iron to make up for what they’re losing from blood. Pregnant women need folic acid to prevent fetal birth defects. And post-menopausal women need extra calcium to make up for the calcium their bones lose after the first five years of menopause. That’s why your best bet is to go with a multivitamin designed for your age group and health status (pregnancy, menopause, etc.).

Go natural. Choose a multivitamin without synthetic forms of vitamins, but natural forms from nature’s best source: food. Also, select a multivitamin that’s free of dyes, preservatives, fillers and binders. These artificial ingredients can interfere with nutrient absorption.

Pay attention to bioavailability. When nutrients are bio-available, it means they can get through your digestive system and into your blood, where they can start doing their work. This is critical because stomach acids and other enzymes can destroy the absorption of nutrients. So vitamin supplements must be formulated in a way to ensure that they get into your bloodstream. But many aren’t. And as a result, these vitamins wind up in your pee instead of your blood. If a supplement is formulated for bio-availability, it’s usually something the manufacturer will brag about on the label.

Look for good quality control. Choose a supplement that’s made by an NSF-certified facility. NSF is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to consumer safety – and the leading source of quality control initiatives in the nutrition industry. An NSF certification means three words: thorough quality control. And that means that the multivitamin has been created according to good manufacturing practices (GMPs), contains the ingredient listed on the label and is free of contaminants. The easiest way to tell if your multivitamin is NSF-certified is to check for the NSF logo on the label, or check the NSF site to look it up.

Buy a brand that you know and trust. Avoid Walgreens, Walmart, and your local grocery store if you can. Not that I have anything against these discount stores, but they tend to buy the cheapest ingredients on the international market. These tend to be synthetic. And when it comes to your health, this is one place where I don’t recommend cutting corners.

Isotonix Multivitamin

*Isotonix Multivitamin is an isotonic-capable food supplement containing 100 percent or more of the daily value of essential vitamins and minerals. There are wide varieties of vitamin and mineral supplements on the market today. Only Isotonix Multivitamin contains a unique blend of complementary vitamins and minerals with the superior delivery of Isotonix. Isotonix Multivitamin supplements dietary deficiencies and helps maintain normal metabolic functioning. Isotonix Multivitamin is a great supplement choice for all adults and especially for athletes, growing teenagers and pre-menopausal women. Isotonix Multivitamin is available with and without iron for differing nutritional needs.*Isotonic, which means “same pressure,” bears the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears. All fluids in the body have a certain concentration, referred to as osmotic pressure. The body’s common osmotic pressure, which is isotonic, allows a consistent maintenance of body tissues. In order for a substance to be absorbed and used in the body’s metabolism, it must be transported in an isotonic state. Isotonix dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do in obtaining maximum absorption. The isotonic state of the suspension allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. With Isotonix products, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results.
