One important reason people take multivitamin and mineral supplements is
to maintain or improve health, but nutritional research is still examining the effectiveness of multivitamins and minerals in the prevention of certain chronic conditions. In addition to the benefits of its intake to fill relatively small but critical nutritional deficiencies, it may help conditions such as anemia,
neural tube defects, osteoporosis, cataracts, and cognitive decline.
Unlike the intake of single-vitamin supplements, multivitamins and minerals are most of the time well tolerated and safe.
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 clearly states that dietary supplements are intended to supplement the diet and not to prevent or treat a disease. Yet, according to surveys in the United States, just 22% of dietary supplement consumers said they take supplements “to supplement
the diet”. Among the most frequent reasons people cited for taking dietary supplements were to “improve overall health” and “to maintain health”.
Multi-Mix Complex™ - Extra Strength is a broad-spectrum supplement formulated with eighty -eight nutrients to promote overall health and wellness. This product contains vitamins, minerals, seaweeds, fruits, vegetables, essential fatty acids, herbs, digestive enzymes, flavonoids, mushrooms,
and probiotics.
Vitamins - are a group of substances classified as micronutrients essential in human nutrition. All vitamins are organic since they contain the element carbon and are found in plant and animal substances in small amounts. Most vitamins cannot be manufactured in the body; exceptions are some of the B vitamins, which can be made by intestinal bacteria, and occasional biochemical conversions from a precursor to the active form of the required vitamin, as when beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A. Vitamins are not a source of energy (calories). Energy is obtained from macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats). Actually, vitamins help convert these macronutrients to more bioavailable or metabolically useful forms. Vitamins function mostly as coenzymes (in collaboration with enzymes) for a variety of metabolic reactions and biochemical mechanisms within the organism. Vitamins are essential for growth, vitality, and health and are helpful in digestion, elimination, and resistance to disease. Vitamins are usually classified as water-soluble or fat-soluble.
Minerals - are actually inorganic elements of which there are approximately 103 currently known and listed in the chemistry periodic table. Minerals are basic constituents of all matter. They are part of living tissue as well as existing in their inorganic form in the earth. Approximately, 4 to 5 percent of body weight is mineral matter, and most of that is in the skeleton. Minerals are also present in tissue proteins, enzymes, blood and some vitamins. Like vitamins, minerals contain no calories or energy in themselves but assist the body in energy production. Although the body manufactures some vitamins, it does not make any minerals. Natural minerals come from the earth. If a mineral nutrient is not contained in soil, it will not be grown in food. Loss of topsoil, continual replanting without enriching the soil, and the use of fertilizers that contain only nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (all that stimulate plant growth) and not the other important macro minerals and micro minerals, means that food may not contain all the minerals it once did. Also, refinement and processing of foods decrease mineral content even more. Consuming the full spectrum of essential minerals is critical. In clinical nutrition, minerals may be even more important than vitamins. Deficiencies of many vital minerals are more common than deficiencies of vitamins since the body does not manufacture minerals and foods may be enriched with vitamins.
Seaweeds – vegetables that come from the sea are some of the most nutrient-rich foods since they are high in iodine, calcium, potassium, and iron, and some being very high in protein as well. Since these plants are constantly bathed in mineral-rich ocean waters, they have a regular supply of nutrients.
Fruits - they have a lot of nutrients particularly important vitamins such as vitamin A and C, a little amount of B vitamins, and E. Fruits also have many minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, and manganese, some iron and other trace minerals.
Vegetables - most of them are high in vitamins and minerals and low in fat and protein. They are a perfect complement to animal protein meals to help supply the needed nutrients that aid digestion and utilization of those concentrated foods.
Essential fatty acids - they are the basic building blocks of which fats and oils are composed. Fatty acids that cannot be made by the body are called essential fatty acids (EFAs). They are occasionally also referred to as vitamin F or polyunsaturates. EFAs must be supplied through the diet. Essential fatty acids are important for many conditions. There are two basic categories of essential fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6. Omega-6 EFAs which include linoleic and gamma-linolenic acids, are found primarily in raw nuts, seeds, and legumes, and unsaturated vegetable oils such as borage oil, grape seed oil, primrose oil, sesame oil, and soybean oil. Omega-3 EFAs including alpha linolenic and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are found in fresh fish, fish oil, and certain vegetable oils, among them canola oil, flaxseed oil, and walnut oil.
Herbs - they have been used for centuries by people of many cultures. Presently, there is plenty of evidence that herbs possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumorigenic, anticarcinogenic, and glucose- and cholesterol-lowering activities as well as properties that affect cognition and mood. Clinical research over the past decade has reported on the diverse range of health properties that they have through their bioactive constituents, including sulfur-containing compounds, tannins, alkaloids, phenolic diterpenes, vitamins, flavonoids, and polyphenols.
Digestive enzymes - they all belong to the hydrolase class performing as biochemical catalysts that use water to break a chemical bond, which generally divides a larger molecule into a smaller one. Another unique property of digestive enzymes is that they are extracellular mixing with food as it passes through the gut. The majority of other enzymes function within the cytoplasm of the cell. The chemical digestion of food is dependent of hydrolase enzymes produced by the cells lining the gut as well as other organs such as the pancreas. The goal is to break large food molecules into very small ones. These can then be rapidly absorbed through the gut wall and into the bloodstream for transport to other organs in the body.
Flavonoids - they are phytonutrients (plant chemicals) found in almost all fruits and vegetables. Together with carotenoids, flavonoids are responsible for the vibrant colors in fruits and vegetables. They are the largest group of phytonutrients with more than 6000 types in existence. Recently, scientists have turned to various flavonoids to explain some of the health benefits associated with diets rich in fruits and vegetables. Like many other phytonutrients, flavonoids are powerful anti-oxidants with many health benefits.
Mushrooms - there are thousands of varieties although probably only about twenty-five are consumed by humans. Most of them have a fair amount of protein content. Many mushrooms are high in iron and selenium. The B vitamins biotin, niacin, folic acid, and pantothenic acid are often found in good quantities. Potassium and phosphorus are usually the next most highly concentrated minerals, although other minerals are present in varying amounts, depending on soil content.
Probiotics - they are microorganisms living within the body while contributing positively to the organism’s health. These friendly bacteria are also called intestinal flora. They have shown to support the immune system. They could help rebuild cellular functions, immune cell activity, and help stimulate better immune responses. In addition, research has confirmed that probiotics may be able to stimulate the effects of vaccines. Because probiotics help identify pathogens entering the organism, they can stimulate immune functions.
