It provides an excellent nutritional foundation to supplement a healthy diet, all in a convenient two-capsule-a-day protocol.

• • Vitamin A to promote eye health, healthy skin, and immune function*
• • Vitamins C and E and mixed tocopherols to provide antioxidant support for cellular protection*
• • Vitamin D to promote strong bones and a healthy immune system*
• • B vitamins to support a healthy heart, blood vessels, and nerves*
• • Vitamins K1 and K2 to contribute to bone and blood vessel health*
• • Zinc bisglycinate, a highly absorbable form of zinc, for immune function and skin health*
• • Chromium to support a healthy blood sugar level*
• • Plus several other well-absorbed, glycinate minerals

According to a survey published in JAMA Internal Medicine, 32 percent of U.S. adults take a multi-vitamin. The leading reason given was to improve overall health. Groups with a particular risk for nutrient deficiencies and who can benefit from a multi- include teenagers, athletes, the elderly, individuals on a restrictive diet, those who have a chronic disease, and individuals taking medications that cause nutrient deficiencies as a side effect. 

A good multi-vitamin/mineral supplement could be considered "dietary insurance" to be certain all essential nutrients are consumed daily. Even greater health benefits can be realized when a healthy diet is combined with a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.
