Do you need a multivitamin?

Many people are under the impression that multivitamins are completely pointless because they have seen some study on TV which showed them to be ineffective.

For many products that can be the case…

The doses of the ingredients used, in many products, can be ineffective / insufficient, or the type of ingredient used just isn’t absorbed by the body and so ends up getting lost when you go to the toilet.

But that doesn’t mean that a good multivitamin is pointless - you just likely won’t get it from your typical high street store or supermarket.

It's why we designed “Advanced Multi”.

While it is possible to obtain all the vitamins and minerals you need from your diet, to do so would be very rare.

For example, a large percentage of Britain’s population is deficient in vitamin D, B12 and Magnesium as well as many other nutrients.

This is leading to huge increases in health problems.

In fact, according to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, less than 30% of adults, and 8% of children are reaching the recommended 5 portions of fruit and veg per day (and nowhere near the new 10 per day target recommended for optimal health).

What’s more even if someone isn’t typically classed as “deficient”, that doesn’t mean that they necessarily are taking on enough of that vitamin / mineral to feel as healthy as possible.

We want to thrive, not just survive.

There’s often a very big difference between the recommended daily amount, and the amount you need to feel great!

This can obviously have negative implications, particularly for those with chronic health problems.

Advanced Multi contains 29 vitamins or minerals, in their most effective forms.

Here’s the benefits of some of those…

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is particularly important for the health of the skin and your eyes, amongst other things.

In fact a deficiency is thought to be the world’s leading cause of preventable blindness in children.

Vitamin A also contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has many benefits.

It can contribute to a reduction in tiredness and fatigue and helps support the normal function of the immune system.

It also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency is very common, especially outside of the summer months, as well primarily get our vitamin D from the sun.

Amongst other things Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, normal muscle function, normal teeth and the normal function of the immune system.

Each capsule of Advanced Multi contains 1000iu per day of Vitamin D in the form D3 which is most readily usable by the body.

Vitamin K

Vitamin K has some very important functions, which include contributing towards normal blood clotting, as well as contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

A blend of vitamin K1 and K2 is important for optimal health, which is what “Advanced Multi” provides (most products will only provide in the form of K1, if at all, yet its thought that in general K2 will be absorbed by the body more effectively, though both are needed).

Folate

Folate is a very important vitamin with numerous benefits.

However, the majority of other products on the market provide it in the synthetic form known as folic acid (which is nowhere near used as effectively by the body).

In Advanced Multi, on the other hand, we use folate as 5-MTHF making it much more effective.

Amongst other things Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, normal blood formation, normal psychological function, normal function of the immune system, and reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 plays a similar role to folate in many ways and, amongst other things, contributes to normal red blood cell formation, normal function of the immune system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

A lack of B12 can cause the numerous symptoms, including fatigue and anaemia.

Advanced Multi provides B12 in the form Methylcobalamin, which is a more natural form.

Zinc

Zinc plays roles in the immune system, cognitive function, bone health, eye health, skin and teeth health and more.  

It also contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.

Each capsule of Advanced Multi provides 20mg of Zinc per day.

Chromium

Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels, an important factor for everyone, especially those with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Summary

So there’s a few important nutrients covered but there are many more.

Advanced Multi, for example, also contains CoQ10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid, both potentially very important but not found in your typical multivitamin, as well as a range of B vitamins, magnesium, iodine, lutein and more.

In conclusion, multivitamins can, if you get the right product, be a very important product for overall general health, but the majority are a huge waste of money.

We believe what we have created with “Advanced Multi” to be the best product available, as far as we know of, worldwide, and is something that can help you to look, feel and live your best.

It’s certainly something I plan to use daily forevermore. Click here to find out more https://autoimmuneinstitute.com/pages/advanced-multi
