Vitamin and mineral products are more important than ever in today’s fast paced world. Not only are we moving at the speed of light, but along the way we are exposed to a myriad of toxic waste that has become a part of our everyday modern lives!
Good nutrition helps to protect us from the environment and aging, if all the nutrient co-factors are ‘in play’. Can we get all the nutrients that we need from food? Well, it is just a plain hard fact that food just isn’t what it used to be 100 years, or even 50 years ago. The plants that many foods are derived from are grown in other countries where they are stored for months at a time, and lose nutrient content through oxidation. And here in the U.S. it has become commonplace to grow foods in nutrient depleted fields year after year. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of studies that show that the decrease in nutrient content in our over all diet is causing sub clinical disease states that doctors find hard to deal with and treat. However, major medical institutions like the Mayo Clinic and the main stream medical Journals are now finally seeing that there is scientific evidence that shows taking a good multi vitamin and mineral product helps to control some of the medical problems that they have found did not respond other types of treatment.
It is a well known fact that vitamins and minerals in the right amounts are needed for a variety of biologic processes that include, but are not limited to growth, digestion, mental alertness and resistance to infection. Specific nutrients enable your body to use carbohydrates, fats and proteins because they act like catalysts that initiate or speed up chemical reactions through out the body. So, if you happen to be depleted in certain nutrients that are needed to increase everything from energy levels to brain function all you have to do is take them, and you will feel a difference!
And when it comes to the types of products to take and who should take them, there is a big difference in every group ranging from the elderly to teenagers, and there is even a difference between what should be taken by men and women.
Men have different nutritional needs as they relate to biochemistry than women, mostly due to their activity levels, muscle mass and hormone types. MegaForce Men’s Essential Multi Vitamin product that contains the ingredients that are specific to the male population for maintaining health. There male formula includes specific vitamins that are water soluble such as vitamin C, biotin and the seven B vitamins, thiamin (B-1), riboflavin (B-2), niacin (B-3), pantothenic acid (B-5), pyridoxine (B-6) and cyanocobalamin (B-12). These nutrients are not stored in your body in any appreciable amounts and have to be replaced throughout the day. Then there are the fat-soluble vitamins A and E that are stored in a number of locations throughout the body, including your fatty tissue. Your body also needs minerals like zinc and copper to help regulate cell function and to serve as building blocks for your cells and organs. The Men’s Essential formula also contains specialty ingredients such as saw palmetto and damiana leaf to help increase and promote male stamina. †
