What’s multi-vitamin and why do we need it?

As you know we cant stop the aging process. But, we can age healthfully. The healthcare industry is focusing on a discipline called anti-aging. Anti-aging is simply aging healthfully. Scientist have concluded that taking a multivitamin every-day is the beginning of healthful aging.

Believe it or not. Multivitamins along with a healthy diet and exercise will give you prolonged health. The prevention of disease is the key to prolonged health, not reversing disease once it has attacked the body.

While vitamins can correct a lot of damage and reverse or slow the course of many diseases, its far better to maintain a disease free body. If you are in good health now, It may take a few years before you observe any obvious benefits from vitamin supplementation. But you’ll probably notice that you don’t get sick as often as people who arent taking multivitamins

A multivitamin may also be beneficial for those who live hectic lifestyles that keep you from eating the recommended number of servings from the food guide pyramid. If you are on a very low calorie weight loss diet, a multivitamin is appropriate. If you cant drink milk or eat cheese and yogurt, take a multivitamin

How does sha takes it

As for me I’ll take it one in the morning once i wake up and once just before i goes to sleep. Also I’ll take one after my workout as its the best absorption time.

Though the manufacturer claims one tablet per day, I’m taking 3 as I lead a rather hectic lifestyle. Do take note not to overdose on these. Side effects of overdosage are vomiting.

I recommend a meal before the multi vitamin intake as it will reduce possible minor side effects such as Nausea, constipation, black stools, and diarrhea

Adults – One tablet daily with food. Not formulated for use in children. As with any supplement, if you are pregnant or nursing a baby, contact your healthcare professional

Effectiveness

After trying out Centrum i found out its has bad absorption rate and lower antioxidant levels though it is cheap thus its synthetic product
