Should we have multivitamin to achieve our Healthy goals

When we think about our supplement stack. We imagine whey protein, BCAA, creatine, glutamine or L-arginine. We miss one of the most important supplement here.


Even this is also used to enhance the quality of other supplement and it could take every person whether you are an athlete, gym freak or don't do any extra workout.

Why Important

I am talking about the multivitamin. If you are an athlete, fitness freak and doing some physical activities then your nutrition need is different from others whose lifestyle is inactive.

In a study by CDC, they came to know that 76% of adult don't eat enough fruits and veggies to get all the essential nutrients.

For a normal human being, we need a wide variety of nutrient to do all the task in a day.
If we miss some of the nutrients then, later on, It will become a deficiency and can cause serious problems, it would affect your metabolism and ultimate effect will be performance breakdown.

I am pretty much sure that You don' want this especially when you are doing workout.

What to see while buying MutliVitamin

Multivitamins are made up of many vitamins and minerals. Not all multivitamins are similar and a lot of companies are making this product. So you have to check the ingredient and the price of a product.

So discuss the 2 component separately.

Vitamins

For survival we all need vitamins. To do basic functionality we need vitamins. Vitamins regulate the chemical reactions that convert the food that we have, to the energy that is required to do basic work and achieve your goals.

Vitamins are either water soluble or fat soluble.

Vitamins are sensitive to heat and chemical process so when you prepare your food, you will definitely lose some values of vitamins that why processed food has low nutrition value.


Below are some important vitamins:

1. Vitamin A: Contribute to vision, bone health, healthy skin and immune system.
2. Vitamin B Complex: Vey important for Nerve function. B6 involves in protein metabolism and B12 involves in carbohydrates metabolism.
3. Vitamin C: So crucial to have Vitamin C through diet because it is not stored by the body. Involve protecting cells from free radicals.
4. Zinc: Crucial for immune health.
5. Vitamin K: Vitamin K helps your bones and cartilage health.

Minerals

I think here you have to go back to your chemistry book and look at the periodic table. :)

For example Calcium, Iron, Chromium, Iodine, Calcium, and Potassium etc.

They are less sensitive to heat and chemical process as compared to Vitamins.

The main function of minerals is to produce necessary hormones.

Is Every Multivitamins Same

Nowadays we can see that many companies making separate multivitamins for women and men.

So does it makes sense?

Yes, It makes sense because what they are doing here. They are adding some components like DHEA or other things that regulate testosterone hormone production and selling that product for men.
Take extra care for skin, nails or hair health and promoting it as Women Multivitamins.



So now we have understood the importance of Multivitamins to achieve your goals.

Yeah, it's true that we have to take care of your macros(Protein, Carbs, and Fat) but without multivitamins(Vitamins and Minerals) you could not achieve the maximum result and stay away with diseases.

Hope for the best results :)
Stay Healthy, Stay Blessed :)
