Daily Multivitamin

All adults should take a daily multivitamin, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The authors, two Harvard Medical School researchers who reviewed 150 scientific studies, concluded that people who take vitamins may protect themselves from certain chronic diseases. ¹

Despite extensive efforts of the government over the last 20 years to educate Americans about proper diet, today about 75% of Americans report not eating the minimum daily servings of fruit and vegetables.² In fact, only 1% of Americans follow all the USDA guidelines for healthy eating.³

Why do seniors have even greater challenges nutritionally? As we age, our caloric intake decreases, thus our nutrient intake decreases. In addition, aging decreases our ability to absorb certain essential nutrients. These factors place the aging population at risk for deficiencies for such essentials as vitamins B6, B12, D, E, Folic Acid and Calcium.⁴

The simple answer is to take a daily multivitamin to supplement food intake. Not to replace food, but to supplement our diets. A daily multivitamin can help insure that adults, and seniors in particular, get the nutrients they need to promote long-term health, and thus increase quality of life. ^5,6,7,8,9
