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.

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.

How Super Once a Day from Quest Works
Multivitamin and mineral supplements provide a balanced dose of the basic vitamins and minerals in amounts that pose little or no risk of overdosing on any one nutrient.

Vitamin A:
Plays a role in our immune system and in the formation of healthy epithelial tissue. An antioxidant, it protects against damage to cells that can lead to cancer.
Vitamin D:Stimulates the absorption of calcium and has anticancer properties.
Vitamin E:Protects the fatty tissues of the body. Protects against toxic substances.
Vitamin C:An antioxidant and immune-enhancing vitamin.
Vitamin B1:Protects against impaired mental function, required for proper energy production in the brain.
Vitamin B2:Needed for tissue repair and for healthy eyes. Important for energy production.
Vitamin B3:Functions in the body as a component in the coenzymes NAD and NADP. Plays an important role in energy production; fat, cholesterol, and carbohydrate metabolism; and the manufacture of many body compounds, including sex and adrenal hormones.
Pantothenic Acid:Vital to the healthy functioning of the adrenal glands, which is why pantothenic acid has long been considered an "anti-stress" vitamin.
Vitamin B6:Involved in the metabolism of amino acids and essential fatty acids, and is therefore required for the proper growth and maintenance of all body functions.
Folic Acid:Vital to healthy cell division and replication, especially the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, the skin, and the bone marrow, where blood cells are formed. Also involved as coenzymes for neurotransmitters, and important to the healthy functioning of the immune system.
Vitamin B12:Involved in the production of DNA, red blood cells, and the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve cells and speeds the conduction of signals along nerve cells. For proper absorption of B12, the stomach produces a digestive secretion called intrinsic factor.
Biotin:A B vitamin that is involved in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and energy production.
Calcium:Besides its role in the formation of bones and teeth, calcium is also involved in fat and protein digestion and the production of energy. It is involved in blood clotting and the transmission of nerve impulses, and it regulates the contraction and relaxation of muscles, including the heart.
Magnesium:Besides its role in maintaining healthy bones, magnesium is also involved in maintaining a healthy nervous system. In addition, magnesium is required for muscle relaxation, energy production, protein formation, cellular replication, the regulation of sodium and potassium in the cells, and efficient heart function.
Phosphorus:The second most abundant mineral in the body after calcium. Contributes to bone hardness and plays a part in almost every important chemical reaction in the body, especially in the utilization of fats, protein, and carbohydrates.
Potassium:The most important dietary electrolyte, potassium functions in the maintenance of water balance and distribution, acid-base balance, muscle and nerve cell function, heart function, and kidney and adrenal function.
Iron:Transports oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. It also functions in several key enzymes in energy production and metabolism, including DNA synthesis.
Zinc:Functions as a cofactor in over 20 enzymatic reactions. Plays a role in insulin activity, protein and DNA synthesis, taste and smell, wound healing, the maintenance of normal vitamin A levels, bone structure, and the immune system.
Manganese:Required for many enzyme systems, normal bone growth and development, and normal reproduction. Also required for the proper functioning of the nerves and possibly the immune system.
Copper:Copper is required for normal infant development, red and white blood cell maturation, iron transport, bone strength, cholesterol metabolism, myocardial contractility, glucose metabolism, brain development, and immune function.
Iodine:Three-quarters of the iodine in the body is found in the thyroid gland, the remainder is found throughout the body, mostly in the fluid that bathes our cells, It is important in the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and is part of the thyroid hormones used to regulate our metabolism, influencing physical and mental growth, the functioning of the nervous system and muscles, circulatory activity, and the metabolism of all nutrients.
Selenium:Best known as an antioxidant and anticancer mineral. A component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which protects our cells against free radical damage.
Chromium:Supplementation used in the treatment of impaired glucose tolerance (hypoglycemia and diabetes), elevated blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, promotion of weight loss, and treatment of acne.

Reasearch

The efficacy of multivitamin and mineral supplementation is supported by a comprehensive report issued by the Council for Responsible Nutrition. The report found that ongoing use of multivitamins and minerals demonstrated a quantifiable positive impact in areas ranging from strengthening the immune system of highly vulnerable elderly patients to drastically reducing the risk of neural tube birth defects such as spina bifida. This report was written based on the review of a decade's worth of the most scientifically significant studies measuring the health benefits of multivitamins and other nutritional supplements. One of the report's findings states, "The routine use of multivitamin and mineral supplements by the elderly could improve immune function and thus reduce infectious disease, potentially cutting in half the total number of days they are sick."
