Why do I need a supplement?
According to an article in a leading medical journal, there is a link between vitamins and the reduced risk of chronic diseases. The article says that all adults should take a multi, daily. This is true even if you already eat a diet rich in fresh, whole, natural foods, because foods can't supply all the vitamins and minerals you need, at the recommended levels.

What's a phytonutrient and why are high levels so important in a multivitamin?
Phytonutrients are naturally occurring chemicals in plants that help fight off insects, resist disease, promote healthy growth, and enhance survival. Nutrilite has always included these plant nutrients in its supplement formulas because of their health benefits to humans. The phytonutrients found plant concentrates provide the body with broad and targeted antioxidant protection. Find an organic multi-vitamin that meets those standards.

Why are antioxidants important?
Antioxidants are your natural defenses against free radicals. Free radicals oxidize compounds in your cells, even in your DNA starting a chain reaction of instability and damage.

The antioxidants in an excellent multivitamin will neutralize free radicals in all FIVE categories and offer wide range of protection right down to your cells!

 

  Five Categories of Free Radicals: (implicated in many health disorders)

        1)    Hydroxyl - pesticides, pollution

        2)    Peroxyl - aging, x-rays   

        3)    Peroxynitrite - smoke, exhaust

        4)    Superoxide - cellular metabolism

        5)    Singlet Oxygen - exercise, UV rays
