Multivitamins and minerals are the most commonly used supplements in the world. While there is not a one-size-fits-all approach, a daily multivitamin and mineral is a one way to ensure there are no nutrient gaps each day. Even with a healthy diet, and no matter which diet you follow, it can be difficult to get all the nutrients from your food all the time. 

Common signs you’re lacking nutrients:

• Fatigue
• Common deficiencies such as iron, B vitamins and iodine are vital to energy.
• Poor night and eye health
• Vitamin A, carotenoids and other antioxidants are especially important for good night vision. 
• Dull, lifeless hair and skin, and brittle, peeling nails
• The appearance of your skin, nails or hair depends on a wide range of nutrients from amino acids, zinc, vitamins B and C and a range of antioxidants.

What are the benefits of taking a multivitamin and mineral? It may support: 

Healthy ageing

Studies have suggested that women who take a multivitamin have healthy telomere length compared to those who don’t. What does this mean? The length of your telomeres is associated with ageing – so the longer the better!   

Brain health

Several studies have found that multivitamins can support mental clarity and focus in older adults. The brain needs a wide range of nutrients to support optimal functioning, including a range of B vitamins and minerals to support neurotransmitter production, DNA synthesis, as well as the antioxidant glutathione.

It is important to get a quality multivitamin supplement from a company that you can trust.

Some individuals are more vulnerable to nutrient gaps in their diet: 

• Vegans and vegetarians: Those on a plant-based diet are at higher risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, but often lack zinc, iron and amino acids
• Those on a paleo, keto, restricted or weight loss diet: they simply miss out on vital nutrients
• Older adults who tend to have poorer absorption of nutrients 
• Stressed or busy people, as they often eat on the run or skip meals
• Athletes, as they often require more nutrients to help with their stamina and recovery.
