Nutritional Supplements -- Additional sources of vitamins and essential minerals taken for nourishment.
Nutritional supplements could very well be the key to building a strong nutritional foundation. Why is it so important to build a strong nutritional foundation? Every day your body’s 63 trillion cells are constantly being bombarded by unstable molecules called “free radicals” from the air you breathe, 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 become and the younger you feel!
A recent research trial was conducted to study the effects of multivitamins/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. For more information, go to the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, Volume 19, 2000. Vitamin and trace element supplementation have proven to be beneficial. A recent research study in Canada looked at whether or not there were any benefits to taking a multivitamin and trace element supplement. Twenty-two people between the ages of 50-65 were given a supplement for one year and an equal group was given a placebo. The supplement group showed a stronger immune system response in a variety of tests. The total number of sick days taken by the placebo group was 24 versus 11 in the supplement group. Half the subjects on the placebo product were found to have low blood levels of at least one of the nutrients while no one in the supplementing group had deficiencies. For more information, go to Nutrition Research, January 2002. In early 2008, a clinical study was conducted by Brunswick Laboratories of Norton, MA to study the effect of the Vemma™ formula on immune function and inflammation in humans.
