Why Should I Take a Multi-vitamin?

Multiple vitamins help to bridge the nutrient gap in our daily diets. In today's world of processed foods and fast-paced lifestyles, many of us do not get the daily recommended allowance of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Multiple vitamins can help fill in the areas lacking in our diets, and are formulated to provide a broad range of nutrition in a synergistic manner.

Iron

Iron is an interesting mineral because it has health promoting and health detracting properties. The most important function of iron is its role in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Hemoglobin and myoglobin (found in muscle tissue) are dependent on iron for their ability to carry oxygen to all of the body's tissues. Lack of iron leads to iron deficiency anemia. Iron is an important part of enzyme systems, processes that speed up chemical reactions in the body.

Iron containing enzymes synthesize the brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine. Serotonin regulates mood and appetite while deficient levels of dopamine lead to diseases like Parkinson's. Iron also helps in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which provides structural stability to most tissues and play a special role in maintaining elasticity in areas like the lungs and skin. Iron containing enzymes in the liver, called cytochromes, mediate the metabolism of many drugs. Carnitine carries fat into cells for use in energy production and requires iron for its production.

Choose your multivitamin/mineral supplements carefully, either with or without iron, because iron acts is an oxidant, meaning that it in excess amounts it floats freely through the body and can damage tissue. Therefore it is important not to take iron supplements unless you are deficient. Men, especially of British Isles descent, can have a condition called hemachromatosis. They have high iron levels that lead to cardiovascular disease, arthritis, liver disease and diabetes. High iron levels are also implicated in cancer, probably due oxidative damage to the cell's genetic material.

Some people are prone to iron deficiency. Menstruating women lose blood monthly and are more likely to benefit from iron supplementation. Pregnant women often look anemic when their blood is tested in the laboratory. This type of anemia is due to hemodilution. Hemodilution is an increase in blood volume without an increase in the number of red blood cells. Women are often recommended inorganic iron by their obstetrician but they would do better with non-constipating organic iron in the tablet or liquid form. Postmenopausal women no longer lose blood monthly and, in most cases, no longer need daily iron supplementation.

Healthy Energy

Picture your body as a machine. In order to get your body to work your body needs fuel or food. It then transports that fuel to each cell. Inside each cell are little engines called mitochondria. They take in the fuel and process it to release energy. The energy is used to power all cell processes and is the ultimate source of your body's energy. Another body system that impacts on energy is the glandular system. Picture it as the fuel injector of your body. It regulates what fuel gets into the body, which cells get the fuel and in what amounts. The blood cells are also a critical component of the body's energy system. They carry oxygen, a catalyst for many cell activities, around the body.

Poor nutrition impacts on energy in obvious ways. If your body does not have enough raw materials to provide for it's functioning than you will feel fatigued.The standard North American diet is deficient in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It is high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and chemical additives and preservatives. These substances not only do not give your body usable energy, but they also inhibit the use of good quality food by depleting enzymes and hormones necessary for energy conversion. The body must also deal with the toxic by-products of foods like bleached flour and sugar, artificial sweeteners and flavours and trans-fatty acids. Energy expenditure is funnelled towards detoxification of these substances instead of growth, cell replication and metabolism.

Stress

Stress is usually thought of as a negative factor in our daily lives but it is necessary part of life. Without stress life becomes boring. The key to stress, as with everything else in life, is balance. Enough to keep you interested but not enough to become overwhelmed. Individuals have different thresholds for stress. What is seen as stressful to one person may not be stressful to another.The stress response is the body's way of preparing for action. As our species evolved it kept us safe, allowing us to fight for survival, or to flee from dangerous situations. The sympathetic nervous system response involves increased heart rate, blood pressure and adrenal output, as well as increased blood flow to the brain, muscles, lungs and heart. Those organs that are not needed to fight or flee receive less blood flow, for example, the digestive organs. This response is very efficient for a short period of time but it is meant to be used sparingly.

Irregular eating patterns stress the body by not providing nutrients at regular intervals. When the body is lacking nutrients it compromises the body's functioning. When an individual finally does eat the body rushes to use the nutrients and store whatever it does not need, in anticipation that the next meal may not come for a while. Regular supplementation with a good quality multivitamin can help reduce stress by supplying important nutrients.
