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!
It has long been know that women have nutritional needs that are different from that of men. There are specific events in a woman’s life that will require her to have certain types of nutrients in her diet that will assist in the process maintaining her health. Nutrients such as vitamin E help the body to produce hormones that are needed to maintain a healthy cycle, and promote healthy communication between cells. The B vitamins help to maintain energy levels by helping the body to utilize the nutrients that are found in food. Iron and Calcium are very important in maintaining bone health and the body’s ability to carry oxygen. These two nutrients alone comprise some of the most talked about ones that are an absolute necessity in any woman’s dietary regimen! MegaForce Essential Multivitamins for Women contains the nutrients that are known to help any woman deal with the stress of their daily routine, and stay healthy long into their retirement years! †
