The TRUTH About Multivitamins REVEALED

I can’t tell you how often I’ve been asked if multivitamins are worth the money.
“Don’t you just pee it all out?” they ask.
My answer is always the same…
If you’re a God among men who eats a perfect diet, gets the right amount of sleep, exercises daily, and practices stress reduction religiously, multivitamins MAY not be worth the investment.
But for the REST of us mortals, multis fill in the gaps.
When you don’t eat as well as you should, stay up too late, can’t find the energy to lace on your walking shoes, or are so stressed you can’t see straight—multivitamins can provide the extra nutrition you need to get over the hump.
And they can do it for PENNIES a day.
But the benefits don’t end there.
Multivitamins support one of your most VITAL organs… your brain.
If you’ve ever walked into a room only to forget why or found yourself staring blankly into the fridge, unable to recall what you wanted, your memory circuits may need assistance.
And one of the best places to start is by making multivitamins a part of your routine.
Studies show that B vitamins and vitamin E, typically included in multis, can boost memory, concentration, focus, and mood.
And if your multi includes herbs like ginkgo biloba, you can reap even BIGGER brain benefits.
In fact, a recent groundbreaking study that included over 3,500 folks 60 and older confirmed multivitamins have a MAJOR impact on memory.
The participants taking the multi had brain ages that were an average of 3.1 years younger!
So, before you dismiss your daily supplement as useless or an unnecessary expense, consider what it may be doing for your overall health and brain.
P.S. Seven signs you SHOULD take multivitamins.
