Each tablet contains 150% of the recommended daily dose of all vitamins (300% of vitamins C and E), and 11 minerals.

Vitamins and minerals are indispensable and unsubstitutable for human life. They act in different ways and have different functions in the human body. No biochemical reaction can take place without the catalytic action of at least one vitamin and/or mineral. The human body is not able to produce vitamins or minerals so these substances are “essential” nutrients. Vitamins and minerals must be assumed through the diet or by using an appropriate dietary supplement. A multi-vitamin, multi-mineral product is important in providing the right quantity of vitamins and minerals to those who develop a deficiency or an increased need for these substances.

The classic case of vitamin and/or mineral deficiency is the result of malnutrition that is almost completely absent in the western world nowadays. However, specific situations of malnutrition are frequent, such as lack of appetite in the elderly who are socially isolated, or alcoholism. Deficiencies arising out of particularly unbalanced and/or restrictive diets are a case apart, for example, slimming diets that are hypocalorific in nature. In other words, the subjects assume very little food in order to lose weight but this food contains too few and too small an amount of vitamins and minerals. Consequently, the diet needs supplementing with a certain amount of vitamins and minerals.

On the other hand, the case for increasing vitamin and mineral intake can arise out of physical and/or mental stress. The classic example is constant and protracted physical activity (e.g. daily training, frequent competition) that can result in performance deteriorating from overload and poor recovery.  Vitamins & Minerals is a classic complete multi-vitamin, multi-mineral product particularly suited to those suffering a deficiency or whose needs have increased for the reasons mentioned above. The reader should refer to any biochemical medical text to find out about the specific action of each individual vitamin, the various minerals, and the symptoms/pathologies that can result from their deficiency.
