How To Spot A Quality Multivitamin

Would you believe that 92% of Americans are deficient in one or more essential vitamins and minerals? And would you also believe more than 99 percent of Americans are deficient in the essential omega 3 fatty acids? It’s true. The food we eat today simply does not give us what we need in terms of nutrition. Therefore, everybody and I do mean everybody - needs to take a basic multivitamin and mineral, calcium, magnesium with vitamin D, and omega-3 fats as the foundation for good health and healthy metabolism. Your metabolism depends on vitamins, minerals and essential fats for optimal function.

Keep in mind that in order to obtain adequate amounts, you usually have to take two to six capsules a day. And some people may have unique needs for higher doses that need to be prescribed by a dietician or nutritionist.

Here are some quick tips for taking supplements:

1. Do not double dose. Simply take the highest dosage recommended for the given supplement or vitamin.
2. When taking herbal supplements select companies that provide purified and well processed herbs.
3. Take fish oils just before meals.
4. Take all your vitamins with food. You want them to absorb with the meal.
