A healthy lifestyle includes the intake of multivitamins and multiminerals, if necessary. These formulae can compensate for any sub-deficiencies and improve the nutritional status. In fact, vitamin-mineral deficiencies are quite rare today, but sub-deficiencies are more subtle and common conditions that can cause various disorders: loss of appetite, poor resistance to infections, fatigue, irritability, digestive disorders and muscle weakness.
Resorting to these supplements is particularly indicated in case of weight loss diets or dietary patterns that rule out certain essential nutrients, such as vegetarian or vegan diets.
Moreover, increasing evidence supports the association of micronutrient deficiencies and the incidence of diseases, such as cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, obesity, arterial hypertension, diabetes type 2, osteoporosis, cataract, senile macular degeneration and certain neoplasms.
Hence, multivitamin and multimineral supplementation can be considered a safe and effective tool to promote good overall health and psychophysical well-being.
