One of the most popular topics I’m asked about is vitamin supplementation. Which supplements are best for me, ow much should I take, and for how long? Including many more…
Why Should I Take A Vitamin Supplement?
If your diet is consistently “ideal” or “optimal” (which most aren’t) a vitamin supplement may not be essential. But recent research shows that many people may benefit from supplementing their diet with a multivitamin and/or other vitamin supplements.
Please remember that vitamin supplements won’t compensate for a poor diet – but they can help fill nutritional gaps in a good one. Your objective should be to make sure that you’re eating a healthy, varied diet that meets your nutritional needs.
Why Do I Need More Than Just A Daily Vitamin?
In general, a vitamin supplement may benefit men and women alike, and a daily multivitamin is recommended by Dr. Nirvana for nearly every person.
Taking a daily multivitamin and nutritional vitamin supplement ensures that you get the energy you need to drive metabolism. In addition, if you’re not eating regularly, if your diet is not rich in fresh foods, and if you don’t get plenty of fruits and vegetables, a multivitamin may help you fill in the gaps.
However, many multivitamins may not offer all the nutritional ingredients you need. Based on your gender, age, lifestyle and medications, other specific supplements may be recommended that are typically not found in the average multivitamins. There is a simple test offered by Dr. Nirvana, which analyzes your entire body’s composition, or lack of it, so that a customized approach is taken in determining a perfect vitamin protocol for YOU and only YOU.
