The MultiVitamin-Mineral
Foundation of a Personal Vitamin Program |
The first
step in establishing your personal vitamin program is to ensure
that everyday you re getting those vitamins and other nutrients
that are truly essential to the human body.
Your multivitamin-mineral
formula should provide all the vitamins and minerals proven to
be essential for human health. It should contain Vitamin A, the
B Vitamins, and Vitamin C, D, and E. Minerals should include
Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese, Iron and Chromium.
Every person, whatever their age, gender, or state of health
can benefit from taking a multivitamin-mineral product on a daily
basis.

Take
Extra Vitamin C and Vitamin E |
These are
two vitamins which research has shown should be taken in greater
amounts that those found in most multivitamin-mineral products.
These are the two important antioxidants Vitamin C and Vitamin
E.
Taking Vitamin
C daily in the range of 1,000 to 3,000 mg will support your immune
system and help you avoid colds and flus. Vitamin E is important
in supporting cardiovascular health.
Because
of the importance of Calcium and Magnesium in supporting joint
and bone health, and because they cannot be found in sufficient
amounts in multiple vitamins, these minerals should be added
to your program. The best absorbed calcium is a product in the
form of calcium citrate with magnesium.
One nutrient
that has been extensively researched and found to be intricately
involved in life processes is CO Q10, also called CoEnzyme Q10.
COQ10 is crucial for the generation of energy in all our cells,
and makes important contributions to our protective antioxidant
defense system.
