Daily Essentials Multi Vitamins

Dailey Essentials Vitamins supplement is historic good for supporting daily health. The antioxidant dietary supplement components might surprise you, including Grape Seed Extract and Co-Q-10 WHY DO YOU NEED SUPPLEMENTS -

Starting in the 1930's many papers have been published by a variety of research groups talking about the declining nutrient content of our food supply.

One Stanford University researcher estimated that you would have to eat five times as much food as your grandfather did to get the same nutrient content. (And trust me, none of us needs to eat five times as much food!) There are several reasons for this.

First of all, the same farmlands have been used to produce food for decade after decade. Farmers fertilize the soil with Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium because that is what makes crops grow, but they don't replace any of the other multitude of nutrients that used to be in the soil. Over the decades those other nutrients have been depleted.

In addition, our crops are picked green, shipped for long distances, stored for long periods of time, gassed and irradiated to prevent fungal and bacterial growth, waxed, wrapped in cellophane, and left on the grocer's shelves for who knows how long. Then we take the food home and add the final insult – we cook it to death! Is it any wonder that we don't get much nutrient value from our food?

If someone tells you they don't need vitamins because they "eat a good diet", share this information with them. It is my strong feeling that every single person needs to be on a good supplement.

Even traditional medical sources are beginning to talk about the benefits of nutritional supplementation. A recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) focused on the improved outcomes for heart patients with supplementation, specifically that therapy with folic acid, Vitamin B-12 and B-6 improved the outcome of patients who had had previous stent or balloon angioplasty procedures.

Another article appearing in JAMA in 2002, looked at the relationship between intake of nutrients and chronic disease. The authors, Robert Fletcher, MD, MSc, and Kathleen Fairfield, MD, DrPH, both affiliated with Harvard Medical School, had this to say, "Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. It appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."

The physicians reviewed studies published between 1966 and 2002 that investigate the links between vitamin intake and diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis, and coronary heart disease. A large proportion of the population is at increased risk due to low vitamin levels. The high prevalence of these diseases indicates the standard diet in the US fails to provide sufficient amounts of the vitamins studied.

The authors examined the following nutrients: vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and K, folate, and the carotenoids including alpha- and beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein. They noted the association of low intakes of the B vitamins with elevated homocysteine levels and the increased risk of coronary heart disease;

of low folate with neural tube defects, coronary heart disease, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer; of vitamin B6 deficiency with cheilosis, stomatitis, central nervous system effects, and neuropathy; of low B12 with anemia and neurologic abnormalities; of low levels of vitamin E with prostate cancer; of low levels of various carotenoids with breast, prostate, and lung cancer; of low vitamin D with bone loss, osteoporosis, and increased fracture risk;

of low vitamin C with cancer; of low vitamin A with vision disorders and decreased immune function; and of low vitamin K with blood clotting disorders and with increased fracture risk.

Drs. Fletcher and Fairfield recommend that everyone, regardless of age or health status, take a daily multivitamin/mineral.

All of that information builds a compelling argument in favor of supporting your body nutritionally. But you will notice that earlier I spoke about taking good supplements. There definitely is a difference.

For the average consumer, there are a great many choices in the marketplace – bargain basement brands, those with fancy names or famous spokespersons.

So how is a person to know which products to choose?



Many of you who have been using supplements for years now, probably had a line-up of 20 or 30 bottles on your counter or in your cupboard. You've selected specific nutrients for specific activities or to address specific health challenges. In some ways, you've been doing the same thing the pharmaceutical companies do, except with natural products.

.

Your body can then select the raw materials it might need to do the work that needs to be done. No need to diagnose, treat, or prescribe – the raw materials are there and you can rely on the wisdom of your body to know what to choose.

Do yourself and the people you care about a favor and get started on this product immediately!
