How Do I Know What Multi Vitamin / Multi Mineral To Take?

Friday, November 27, 2009

Most of your vitamins and minerals that you take in come from food. However most people don’t consume enough of the right kinds of foods to ensure that they are getting the sufficient amount of all the nutrients needed for the body to perform properly. Adding a multi vitamin / multi mineral to your diet helps ensure that you are getting all of them in so you can function.

What is a good one to take? Well there are two kinds of multis. Synthetic and natural. The best multis to take are the ones that allow the body to easily absorb the nutrients they contain. Synthetic multis are a cost effective way for manufactures to produce, and often times the body does not recognize them and are not fully utilized but rather discarded as waste. Natural vitamins come from whole foods and not from a chemical. Ideally you want to look for a natural chelated vitamin. Chelation is a process in which the vitamins are processed for the body can use.

Don’t base your decision solely on price but you should know that the cheaper vitamins are usually a synthetic and the more pricey ones are either natural, chelated or designed in a specific way for your body to properly absorb.

When you are looking for a multi to take it should be noted that it is not physically possible to put all of the proper quantities into one pill and it usually will be in a few pills.

I suggest you do your research on a supplement company that you are deciding on. I recommend a product called Blend from One Bode. It is an all natural and organic chelated multi vitamin / multi mineral. If you want to check it out here is the link
