We all know that a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and regular exercise are essential for good health, and that our health is everything. With today’s hectic lifestyle, poor food choices or skipping meals, eating a well balanced diet is not always possible. Certain lifestyle choices, stress, excessive exercise, alcohol consumption, smoking and even taking certain medications, all impact on our nutrient levels. So day-to-day, you may not be getting all the nutrients you need to help maintain good health. Here’s where Centrum can help.

Vitamins are required by the body for a number of biochemical reactions. For example, B group vitamins are involved in the regulation of the metabolism and the conversion of food into energy in the body. Vitamin D aids the absorption of calcium in the body and Biotin (Vitamin H) is important in the metabolism of protein and fat. Vitamins are important for assisting growth and maintaining general health.

Antioxidant nutrients such as betacarotene, vitamins C, E and selenium, all play an important role in fighting free radical production that has a harmful effect on the body. Free radicals are reactive chemicals that may be caused by factors such as lifestyle, smoke, alcohol, stress and pollution.

Minerals are major constituents of bones, teeth, soft tissue, muscle, blood and nerve cells. They are required for maintaining bone health, normal blood and many biological reactions.

Because many of us may not get all the nutrients we need everyday from diet alone, the internationally renowned Centre for Responsible Nutrition (CRN)¹ has released a Dietary Supplement Pyramid highlighting the basic supplementation guidelines. This includes a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement to help plug any gaps that may arise from the diet, as a basis for sound nutrition.

A study reported in the Journal of American Medical Association¹ recommends all adults take a multivitamin and mineral supplement every day.
