Why should I supplement?<\/div><div class=\"faq_a\" id=\"faq5945products_a\" aria-labelledby=\"faq5945products_q\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"faq_a_content\"><p>Unfortunately, even if you\u2019re eating right, you\u2019re still probably not getting enough vitamins and nutrients from your diet for optimum health. Many of today\u2019s foods don\u2019t pack the nutritional punch they did years ago. According to a report published in the Journal of HortScience, the average vegetable found in today\u2019s supermarket is anywhere from 5% to 40% lower in minerals (including magnesium, iron, calcium and zinc) than those harvested just 50 years ago.<br \/>\nThe decline is attributed to modern crops being harvested faster, giving them less time to absorb nutrients, and the use of fertilizers that may interfere with a plant\u2019s ability to take up nutrients. That\u2019s why nutritional supplements are so essential to maintaining health and vitality. In 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) began advising all adults to take multivitamins to help prevent such common chronic illnesses as cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis.<br \/>\n\u201cMost people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. It appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements,\u201d according to the statement in JAMA. Physicians are paying attention. Did you know that 72 percent of physicians personally use dietary supplements?<br \/>\nObviously, supplementing is an ideal road map for health.
