What factors to consider
when deciding upon a multi-vitamin supplement to take.
Previously I mentioned that
it is a good idea to take multi-vitamin supplements on a daily basis. There
are so many brands of vitamins out there and deciding which one is the
right one for you is often difficult. And do you know which one is the
most effective? Let me help you decide by examining some things you should
consider, look for.
The vitamins should be of
high quality and natural, free of sugar or artificial flavors. Besides
the usual vitamins and minerals, your supplement should contain Lycopene,
Selenium, garlic and Chromium. Since men and women require different amounts
of vitamins and minerals measured in IU's, mg's, mcg's on a daily basis
look for supplements created specifically for men and women. It's also
more beneficial if your vitamin comes in an AM and PM dosage. So instead
of combining your recommended daily amount in one tablet, it should split
into and AM and PM tablet with different amounts of vitamins and minerals
in each tablet depending on the time of day. So an AM tablet you would
take in the morning with breakfast and the PM tablet with your lunch or
dinner.
It's important that you take
multi-vitamins especially if you are physically active, under stress or
an athlete. If you also do not have the opportunity to eat the daily recommended
number of fruits and vegetables, it's a good idea to supplement your diet
with a multi-vitamin.
What would I recommend? I
have been taking MDR Fitness Tabs from
Medical Doctors Research for years now (since 1991 or 1992) and personally
I feel it's the best on the market today.
