To compound the problem of the lack of vitamin benefits in food due to modern-day farming techniques, is the fact that vitamins and other nutrients are lost when storing, drying, freezing, and processing your food.
Only in recent years, and with a lot of resistance, has the conservative medical community finally admitted that vitamins, through vitamin supplementation, are absolutely necessary for long-term health.
It wasn't until 1992 that the journal of American Medical Association finally recommended vitamin supplementation as a way to prevent and possibly cure heart disease.
So what are the Vitamin Benefits and are all vitamins the same?"
There are many, many vitamins and minerals and their benefits are many. Here are just some of the vitamins you need along with their respective vitamin benefits.
• Biotin has many important benefits and is used in the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. It also helps in energy production and there is some proof that it can help people with diabetes by keep glucose levels reduced.
Other benefits include healthy hair, skin, and nails, reducing fatigue, heartburn and some allergies.
• Folic acid is famous for certain benefits, most notably being a crucial vitamin for women who are trying to conceive and those who are already pregnant.
But other benefits include helping to make you heart healthy, an increase in energy and a role for in helping to combat Alzheimer’s disease.
• Vitamin A has many unique benefits but mostly is a very effective antioxidant. Antioxidants are important because they help control free radicals which cause cell damage and possibly cancer.
It is also plays an essential role in maintaining healthy vision, keeping the cells of your skin healthy, helping relieve skin disorders, often to treat acne and wrinkles, boosting your immune system and helping to heal any wounds you may have.
Some studies have also shown that vitamin A may help insulin regulate blood sugar levels, a big vitamin benefit for people with diabetes.
• Vitamin B12 has very important benefits because a deficiency can lead to serious health complications such as nerve damage, weak muscles, depression, memory problems, fatigue, anemia, and stunted growth in children.
Other benefits include the formation and regeneration of red blood cells, your body’s manufacture of DNA and RNA and the proper functioning of nerves.
• Vitamin C has many benefits you may already be aware of including a pivotal role in the production of collagen, an ability to help the healing of wounds, has an ability to boost your immune system, protects artery linings, and it may help in the prevention of cataracts.
• Vitamin E having many benefits, is a potent antioxidant, has a possible role in the protection against heart disease, some types of cancers, boosting your immune system, and helping as an aid in the healing of injuries.
In addition, some studies have shown it can boost the immune system in elderly people.
And the list of vitamins and their own vitamin benefits goes on and on.
"Synergy Is Vital To Receive
All The Vitamin Benefits"
You will not get the true vitamin benefits if you just take single vitamins. This is due to the fact that most vitamins and minerals do not work in isolation, and their function is not independent but interdependent.
Complete vitamin mineral supplementation is the only effective way to get the full vitamin benefits and ensure that all the essential interactions take place, and this is why a high-quality multi vitamin / mineral/ enzyme supplement is necessary.
Bioavailability is a measure of how much of a particular substance can be absorbed by your body. Not all forms of vitamins and minerals are alike, and some are more readily absorbed and others.
Very few of the vitamin supplements available today contain ingredients that are more than minimally bioavailable, thus reducing the vitamin benefits you receive.
The manufacturers of most vitamin mineral supplements think that consumers will go for the biggest numbers and assume that they will not know any different.
Most of the quality ingredients that are highly bioavailable take a more physical space in the pill.
This means that supplements of higher quality will actually be much bigger pills, and will require that you swallow more than one pill per day in order to receive the adequate amounts of the nutrients and the full vitamin benefits.
Additionally, because there are fat soluble and water soluble, some digest in the stomach and some in the small intestine, a single pill can not deliver the maximum benfits of vitamin supplementation.
"The Bottom Line On Vitamin Benefits"
There are numerous vitamin benefits, so many in fact that you will want everyone you care about to be getting the same benefits you will enjoy once you start taking high-quality vitamins daily.
It's a smart policy to take a powerful foundational total balance nutritional supplement to make up for inevitable lapses in your diet and the fact that you cannot get enough vitamin benefits from the food you eat.
Furthermore, in todays high stress fast paced daily lifestyle you will need help, and more coffee and sugar isn’t going to give you long term health.
Consider, for example, that the Anarem Report revealed that out of 21,500 individuals, "not a single individual consumed 100% of the 10 most needed nutrients in the body."
And U.S. Senate Document #264 states, "99% of the American people are deficient in vitamins and minerals..."
These are commonly cited sources and statistics that you may even be familiar with yourself.
But be careful when selecting a vitamin and mineral manufacturer. The reasons for this are many, and include:
• The fact that there is a big difference in the vitamin benefits between the much cheaper synthetic vitamins most vitamin manufacturers use and more expensive natural vitamins.
But even among some natural ingredients certain vitamin manufacturers use there is a big difference in the vitamin benefits due to delivery systems, combinations and the bioavailable of the nutrient form being used.
• Because synergy is vital to vitamin benefits it's extremely important that your vitamins are made by scientists with the best vitamin supplement credentials.
Unfortunately a lot of the vitamin products available are just put together quickly without knowing the vitamin benefits causing many of the ingredients to cancel each other out.
• And finally, because the vitamin industry in North America is unregulated you, as a consumer, only have about a 1 in 5 chance of buying a vitamin product with the ingredients stated on the label -- and receiving all the vitamin benefits. Always buy from an FDA approved Manufacturer. It will say this on the label.
Knowing this information, it is therefore absolutely crucial that you select a vitamin manufacturer that follows pharmaceutical GMP compliance. GMP compliance is the highest vitamin standard possible.
There are other good vitamin manufacturers out there, and with the information we have given, hopefully you can now make a better descision in choosing your vitamins.
