www.AbbysHealthFood.com | # 53| Page 3 If you have a food sensitivity, follow a restrictive diet like keto or vegan, or have digestive issues, taking a multivitamin is a no-brainer. But even if you're an omnivore who eats a reasonably healthy diet, it can still be hard to get all the nutrition you need from food alone. The food we eat these days is less nutritious than the food our grandparents ate, even if we have the exact same meal on our plates. Modern agricultural practices have stripped nutrients from our soil and therefore our food. How much? Up to 9% for magnesium, 18% for zinc, and 31% for iron, according to a review of 57 studies. What's in Your Multivitamin? Just beware: Not all multivitamins are the same. Our bodies are used to getting nutrients from food. When you eat an orange, you not only get vitamin C, but also phytonutrients, antioxidants, enzymes, and trace minerals that aid C's absorption and utilization. But when you take a typical multivitamin, you only get the vitamin C. Without the range of cofactors that occur with C in nature, it may not be as well absorbed and could cause stomach upset. That's why we recommend taking a multivitamin that contains real whole food as a base. Whole Earth & Sea® Pure Food Multivitamins from Natural Factors Natural Factors makes a range of whole food-based multivitamins under their Whole Earth & Sea line. Made with fresh raw vegetables, fruit, and herbs grown on their own certified organic farm, plus organic sea vegetables, these multivitamins harness the power of whole food. The plants are handpicked at the peak of ripeness, combined with vitamins and minerals (some sourced from the plants themselves), and gently processed to protect their active constituents. Which Formula is Right for You? Nutritional needs aren't universal, and they can change with life stage. For instance, younger women need more iron than postmenopausal women or men of any age because they lose blood through menstruation. Pregnant women need more calcium to build their babies' bones. Later in life, immunity can decline, so men and women over 50 may benefit from more vitamin C than younger folks. And saw palmetto supports senior men's reproductive health.* Natural Factors offers age- and gender-specific Multivitamin & Mineral supplements: • Women's Multivitamin & Mineral for younger women • Men's Multivitamin & Mineral for younger men • Women's Prenatal Multivitamin & Mineral for pregnant and nursing women • Women's 50+ Multivitamin & Mineral for women in mid-life • Men's 50+ Multivitamin & Mineral for men in mid-life • Bone Structure Multivitamin & Mineral for people wanting extra bone support Why to Take a Multivitamin… and Which One to Take
