It would be great if you could get all of the vitamins and minerals you need just from eating. In all practicality, how would you really know that are getting the optimum levels anyway? I think that most people will agree that it's nearly difficult to get all the vitamins and minerals you need just from your normal eating routine. Chances are good that most people are not even eating the beneficial amount of fruits and vegetables on a every day.

Dr. Al Sears MD, is a well-known nutritionist and is board-certified in anti-aging medicine. He reviewed a number of the best-selling multi-vitamin formulas on the market. In his research he was shocked to discover that some of them either fall short of the recommended amounts or are completely missing key vitamins and minerals altogether. Vitamins and minerals are basic foundation to the ticket to wellness. Like a house built on a strong foundation will last longer than one built on a weak one, the same goes for the human body.

Let's check to see if your brand of multi-vitamins has the same amounts that Dr. Sears recommends to his patients. Vitamin E can help improve your heart health by helping to maintain normal blood pressure. High blood pressure increases your risk to heart related diseases. Dr. Sears recommends a daily dose of 200 iu. Vitamin C is an important vitamin that gives you protection against infections. Most brands don't have the recommended 500 mg daily allotment. Can you see me now? Beta-Carotene helps to prevent vision loss as you grow older. Dr Sears is is recommending 9,000 mcg of this important daily vitamin. You would need to eat bunches of carrots to get this level of protection. Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant that can help reduce your risk of clogged arteries. Dr. Sears recommends 50 mg/day. Selenium is a mineral that provides cancer protection. The recommended amount from Dr. Sears is 200 mcg/day. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) helps both blood formation and brain function. Speaking of brain function. It may not make you smarter, but 40 mg/day may help improve your circulation. Have you heard of Boron? This is a mineral that has been known to help reduce the inflammation that causes pain in the joints and 2 mg daily is ideal. Finally, 40 mg/daily of Vitamin B6 can help protect your immune system.

It is vital to be mindful of that all nutrients have recommended daily amounts and it is a bad idea to take too much. In some cases, overdosing on vitamins can be harmful to your health. Also, most people don't need to take iron supplements unless they have an iron deficiency. When taken properly and at the optimized amounts, vitamins and nutritional supplements can give your body a strong footing that can help protect it against diseases, infections and may help to reduce the normal deterioration process of aging.
