Description

As healthy as our diets might be, it is hard to keep track of how many vitamins we are getting on a daily basis. Therefore, vitamin supplements are a good way to ensure we are getting the recommended daily dosage of all vitamins our bodies require to function properly.

Multivitamin is a supplement that contains a combination of vitamins and minerals. There are many types of multivitamins available on the market, and also many myths surrounding multivitamins. So it is important that you are able to sort out the facts from fiction. Read here answers to the most popular questions about multivitamins.

Can I share my vitamins with the whole family and even friends?

Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. We all have different nutritional needs based on our age, gender and lifestyle. Other safety considerations include whether you have any existing health conditions, or are taking any medication. If you are unsure, consult a health care professional to help you choose what supplement is best for your individual circumstances. Always be to sure to check the directions for use and cautionary information to find out who the product is suitable for.

When is the best time to take multivitamins?

This is not strictly true. Try to take your vitamins during the day, preferably after a meal. Avoiding taking supplements on an empty stomach. Always read the instruction provided on the packaging label or as inserts/leaflets inside the he packaging to make sure that you are taking the correct amount at the best time.

Do I need a multivitamin if I eat healthily?

We all strive to eat well and many of us do, but we are not always able to eat a varied diet or reach the recommended daily amounts of nutrients for various reasons. A recent study by Imperial College London found that eating ten portions of fruit and veg a day may have benefits1. So, why not give it a try? Altering your habits, traits and behaviours can improve our nutrient intake.

Food Supplements should not replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. However, they can help you top-up your nutrient levels if you think you are lacking. You could try our Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil plus Multivitamins supplement. It contains a variety of nutrients such as vitamin B3, which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Remember to do your research and consult a healthcare practitioner such as your GP or pharmacist to help you choose supplement(s) beneficial to your health and lifestyle, based on your nutritional needs.

Are all multivitamins the same?

There are specific recommended levels for most vitamins and minerals therefore. It is important to be aware of how much of each vitamin and/or mineral is present in a specific food supplement as this may varr from brand to brand. Adhere to the advice given by the healthcare practitioner.

Branded multivitamin products offer varied nutritional provisions based on various parameters such as gender and age. Seven Seas Perfect 7 range is an example of this. Perfect 7 Man contains Vitamin D for the maintenance of muscle and bones, while Perfect 7 Woman contains zinc, which contributes towards healthy hair, skin and nails.

Read the labels on the packaging to determine whichsupplement products are appropriate for you.

Are vitamins and minerals the same thing?

Most people use the terms ‘vitamin’ and ‘mineral’ interchangeably and do not recognise that there is a difference between the two.

Vitamins are organic compounds important for health. Minerals are inorganic compounds that are also needed for normal functioning of the body3.

Essential minerals include:

  • Calcium
  • Iodine
  • Iron
  • Magnesium
  • Phosphorus
  • Manganese
  • Chromium
  • Selenium
  • Zinc

Other minerals are known as trace elements which are still important, but they are needed in smaller amounts2.

Taking a multivitamin supplement

Seven Seas multivitamin could help you top up your diet with additional vitamins and minerals. However, It’s also important to remember that food supplements can’t replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
