Choosing The Best Multi Vitamin


Choosing the best multi vitamin

Browsing any drugstore or super market to buy multi vitamins,
you will know they come in all shapes and sizes, as well as a
range of prices. Which multi vitamin is best for you? Finding
out takes time and research, especially if you want to
supplement for a vitamin deficiency brought about by disease or
illness. In this case it is worth consulting a physician and
nutritionist together to get the best vitamin advice and
nutrition plan for you. An off-the-shelf multi vitamin may not
contain the required nutrients in sufficient quantities. You
probably want a supplement that is preservative free and color
free, yet many store-bought vitamins contain these. Therefore,
one of the best tips for personal health, or in creating a
healthy eating plan, is to get custom-made multi vitamins.

Get Professional Advice and Get Informed

The first port of call should always be your physician, but you
can also see a dietician and do some research prior to visiting
the doctor's office so you will know the right questions to
ask. Due to lack of training in medical school, there are gaps
in herb and nutrition information within the medical community
so it may be useful to present the reasoning behind your
supplement needs. If you already know the predicted supplement
action, this is also useful, so the doctor is better able to
know how the supplement may act in the treatment of illness.
Most healthcare professionals will tell you to take a standard
pill, which may not be the best multi vitamin for your health,
so some evidence based research is required to find the best
vitamins, herbs and minerals for your particular situation or
health concern. Mitamins has a wealth of nutrition advice and
vitamin information from trained nutritional experts in our
Library.

Follow the Mass Market Approach or Create Your Own Nutrition
Plan?

Generally most people will take a daily multi vitamin, and
these often come as a customized formula, targeted for women's
health, senior health, or a particular health concern. It is
worth noting that formulas usually only contain the Recommended
Daily Amount (RDA) of a specific vitamin, mineral, or herb, and
that this value is the minimum dosage needed as part of a
healthy diet. Often, an illness or disease can induce a vitamin
deficiency in the body, so a dosage higher than the FDA approved
value is needed in many cases to replace vitamins, minerals, and
essential amino acids. Of course this introduces the risk of
vitamin overdose, so it is very important to seek professional
advice. Mitamins is able to use your personal health profile to
check drug-vitamin interactions, possible deficiencies, and
avoid vitamin overdose.

Choose a Method of Delivering the Nutrients

Multi vitamins now come in many forms such as gel, capsule,
chewable caps, drinks or tablets. Choosing the best vitamin
delivery method is important. Time release multi vitamins may
have some value in giving the supplement a high
bio-availability compared to tablets because they provide a
slow release of nutrients by being in the blood-stream for
longer. Mitamins' multi vitamins come in natural vegetable
capsules that are artificial color-free. Capsules are superior
to tablets in a number of ways. Mitamins easy-to-swallow
capsules dissolve quickly and are easier to digest than
tablets, providing a high bio-availability of the supplements
you need.

Taking your Multi vitamin - Get Used to it!

Less than 30% of people who buy vitamins, multi vitamins or
other supplements stick to their vitamin regime. Too many
supplement bottles end up expiring on bathroom shelves. An easy
way to solve this problem is to create an all-in-one supplement
that contains vitamins for all your health concerns,
nutritional needs, and personal health profile in a single
bottle. Mitamins is the only company now that can provide a
custom-made formula addressing all your nutritional
requirements in a single capsule supplement.

Once you create your all-in-one vitamin supplement, there are
other ways to improve "supplement compliance." Taking a multi
vitamin with meals can also help: if you get into the habit of
taking a multi vitamin with your breakfast, the supplement
routine will likely stick.

Yet Another Miracle Cure

If you are considering a multi vitamin regime, then you have
probably heard of the benefits that certain nutrients can bring
to the body. Practically every day new research is presented
telling us how certain nutrients can prevent or cure disease
such as cancer or diabetes, help weight loss, or high
cholesterol. It is always worth actually reading these
published studies yourself as results may not be repeatable
with differing dosage and personal health profiles. There is
plenty of specialist multi vitamin advice available on the
internet, so make sure your information is from a trusted
source. Try the Mitamins Blog (http://blog.mitamins.com) and
Health Forums(http://forum.mitamins.com) for nutrition advice
from a range of sources.
