One a Day for Life - Vitamin #3

Why supplement? For starters, no one eats a “perfect diet”. Supplements insure that our bodies get the nutritional building blocks that they require, even when our healthy eating intentions are slightly sub-par. What’s more, research shows that the food we eat today often lacks the nutritional value that it held in previous decades. Adding a supplement helps make up for that gap.

The question remains – what do we really need? In honor of National Nutrition Month, here are the Top Four Musts for nutritional supplementation.

#3: Vitamin D

When sunshine isn’t an option, it’s important to supplement the Vitamin D our bodies need to

promote calcium absorption, bone and teeth health and immune system function.

Choose a supplement that includes Vitamin K for improved absorption. Look for an option that is specifically D3 (natural) versus D2 (synthetic) so that it’s bioavailable (ready for your body to use).
