Why take vitamins? |
| |
A Harvard research study titled “Vitamins for Chronic Disease Prevention in Adults” was published in the June 2002 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. This study concluded that people who get enough vitamins might be able to prevent such common chronic illnesses as cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis. Based on the finding of this study the AMA (American Medical Association) now recommends that all adults take multivitamins daily. |

If I eat healthy, do I need to take vitamins? |
| |
Dietary supplements may help healthy people for a number of reasons. They can help prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies when the diet is not adequate enough to provide all necessary nutrients. Normal diets may be deficient in one or more nutrients for a variety of reasons. The typical Western diet often supplies less than adequate amounts of several essential vitamins and minerals. Recent nutrition surveys in the U.S. have discovered that a large number of people consume too little calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. Weight loss, pure vegetarian, macrobiotic, and several other diets can also place some people at higher risk of developing a deficiency. |

All supplements should be taken with food or during meals. Better results are obtained from chewing vitamins and minerals together with food than swallowing them, even if only part of the supplement is chewed. |

Why should I inform my health care provider of taking a Physician Select Vitamins supplement? |
| |
Nutritional supplements offer specific benefits - but only to certain patients. Simply put, not everyone needs one, and some people may even be better off without them. Sorting out which supplement might realistically benefit a given individual has become a confusing and frustrating process. The market place is filled with false claims, worthless ingredients, possible side effects, and the potential for interactions with prescription medications. Safe, effective use of a nutritional supplement is best achieved after a thorough review of your medical history, and discussion of the pros and cons with your treating health care provider. |
