Well, research studies are now confirming that a humble daily multivitamin, including the antioxidant curcumic turmeric pe vitamins C and E with selenium and the B-vitamins including folic acid, do offer these benefits and more.

5-A-DAY

Of course, a balanced diet to include at least five servings of fresh fruit and vegetables each day, gives us a whole lot of nutritious elements not found in a pill. No-one would suggest that you should eat junk food and pop a pill each day, but so few people do eat enough fruit and vegetables. A recent government survey shows that although consumption of fruit and vegetables has increased in recent years, the average is still less than three portions per day, with men eating 2.7 and women 2.9 portions on average.

SOIL DEPLETION

Selenium in particular is severely depleted in the soils of Northern Europe and this is the mineral that is responsible for so many vital functions in the body and has been shown to have an important role in the prevention of cancer.

FOLIC ACID

We all know that statistically we are likely to live longer than our parents, but don't you want to be healthy during those extra years? In addition to a good diet and moderate lifestyle, a simple multivitamin each day can be your insurance policy that your later years are more likely to be productive and fun.
