Multivitamin/Mineral Supplementation help older adults reduce risk

RalphMeredith — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 20:46:42 +0000

A recent research trial was conducted to study the effects of multivitamin/mineral supplements on older adults who are already consuming a nutrient-fortified diet. Eighty adults between the ages of 50-87 participated in the eight-week double blind, placebo controlled trial. The objective of the study was to determine whether a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement could improve the body’s micronutrient status and the blood’s antioxidant capacity.

After measuring various nutrient blood levels and other blood indicators in the participants, researchers concluded that supplementation with a multivitamin formulated at about 100% Daily Value can increase the vitamin status in older adults and improve their micronutrient status to levels associated with reduced risk for several chronic diseases.

How great do you want to look and feel?

RalphMeredith — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 22:28:47 +0000

Most health industry experts will tell you that building a strong nutritional foundation is vital for your health and well being. In fact, scientists and medical doctors are now recognizing the need for adding vitamins to your daily nutritional program.Two Harvard Medical School scientists recommended that all adults take daily vitamin supplements based on two factors – the recognition that Americans do not receive enough vitamins from their diet alone and the result of nearly forty years of clinical research indicating vitamin supplementation plays an important role in long term good health ** The other major factors in this strong foundation are following a balanced diet, exercising regularly and supplementing not only the ideal amount of vitamins, but also powerful antioxidants and major, trace and ultra trace minerals.

Why is it so important to build a strong nutritional foundation? Every day your bodies 63 trillion cells are constantly being bombarded by unstable molecules called “free radicals” from the air you breath, the food you eat and the water you drink. Free radicals can damage your cells and increase the aging process. (The more effective you are at protecting your cells, the healthier they can become and the younger you can feel!)

Scientific Evaluation finds benefits in Liquid Vitamin and Mineral Supplements

Ralph Meredith — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:26:36 +0000

In 1998 the Journal of Medicinal Foods published an evaluation on liquid vitamins and minerals. The purpose of the evaluation was to look at the evidence surrounding whether or not there were benefits to vitamin and mineral supplements delivered in liquid form. A wide variety of research studies were reviewed and it was determined that liquid supplements contain nutrients that are highly bioavailable, can be gentler to the stomach, and are sometimes more suitable for children and elderly people.

Major Scientific Review Validates the importance of Vitamins

Ralph Meredith — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 19:29:09 +0000

In June of 2002, one of the most respected journals in medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association, published a comprehensive review of almost 40 years worth of scientific research on the relationship between vitamins and certain diseases.This review which was conducted by two Harvard researchers, clearly illustrates how vitamin deficiencies are associated with chronic diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease, and osteoporosis.

The researchers located many studies that prove taking folic acid during pregnancy helps prevent certain birth defects. Folic acid has also been proven to help prevent heart disease and several types of cancer when taken on a regular basis.

Regarding the intake of Vitamin E, the researchers located evidence that it is an important antioxidant necessary for immune function. They also found that Vitamin E has a role in the prevention of heart disease and prostate cancer in some people.

Vitamin D and it’s relation to bone mass appeared in the review as well as supportive evidence for the value of Vitamins B6 and B12.

Based on these findings and the recognition that Americans are not receiving enough vitamins from theit diets, the Harvard researchers recommend that all adults take one multivitamin daily.

American Diet lacking in Essential Minerals

Ralph Meredith — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:11:16 +0000

USDA statistics show the average American diet is significantly lacking in essential minerals needed for energy production and protection from free radical damage as well as other vital functions. Thi is according to statistics from the USDA’s 1994-1996 Continuing Survey of food intakes by individuals and 1994-1996 Diet and Health Knowledge Survey.

Vitamin and Antioxidant reduces heart disease and stroke

Ralph Meredith — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 18:06:20 +0000

A recent study conducted at the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that when multivitamins are combined with antioxidant vitamins, such as Vitamin E, death risk from heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke goes down. The study compared the death rates of persons who used multivitamins in combination with Vitamin E and other antioxidants, as well as those persons who used antioxidant vitamins only versus the death rate of those who used no vitamins at all. What was concluded is that persons who took Vitamin E and other antioxidants along with multivitamins had a 15% lower risk of dying than those who used no vitamins at all.

Vitamin E and C High doses reduce risk of Alzheimer’s

Ralph Meredith — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:47:48 +0000

Johns Hopkins University researchers recently reported that the intake of Vitamins E and C in combination reduced both the prevalence and incidence of Alzheimer’s disease. Using data from a large group of respondents age 65 and older, The researchers’ investigation revealed that high doses of certain antioxidants may mitigate age related cognitive deterioration by protecting neurons from free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that can damage the body from exposure to environmental toxins, intake of chemicals found in processed foods, overexertion, etc. Because of the results of this study, researchers suggest that antioxidant supplements merit further study as agents for the primary prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.
