Vitamins

Maybe you’re not sure if you should be taking vitamins or you don’t know which ones to take amongst the sea of choices. Our recent article aptly titled Make Your Body Magnificient With Multi-Vitamins may be able to help.

According to a Johns Hopkins study half of all American adults—including 70 percent of those age 65 and older—take a multivitamin or another vitamin or mineral supplement regularly.There are thirteen vitamins and at least 16 minerals are essential to your health. Many of them aid enzyme reactions in your body or function as signaling molecules or structural elements.Your body also needs these nutrients for reproduction, maintenance, growth, and regulation of bodily processes.

Nothing can replace a diet full of healthy food choices but it is difficult for many of us to get all of the nourishment our bodies truly need. In fact, the prevalence of processed food in the American diet makes it nearly impossible. Multivitamins may offer many of these vitamins and minerals — but in varying forms and amounts. They may also contain other ingredients like herbs, amino acids, and fatty acids.
