• More than 800 million people are estimated to be undernourished, most in the developing world, but under-nutrition is also a problem in industrialized nations, especially in hospitalized individuals and the elderly.

It is not in the plate !

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that more than 2 billion people worldwide suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies, primarily iodine, iron, vitamin A and zinc, with important health consequences.

According to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 93% of the U.S. population do not meet the estimated average requirement (EAR) for vitamin E, 56% for magnesium, 44% for vitamin A, 31% for

vitamin C, 14% for vitamin B6, and 12% for zinc .Moshfegh A, Goldman J, Cleveland L. 2005; What We Eat in America, NHANES 2001-2002: Usual nutrient intakes from food compared to dietary reference intakes. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service.

AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION SUPPORTS ADULTS TAKING VITAMINS

JAMA 2002, 287(23): 3117-29

“… insufficient vitamin intake is apparently a cause of chronic diseases. Recent evidence has shown that suboptimal levels of vitamins, even well above those causing deficiency syndromes, are risk factors for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.”

- Dr Robert H Fletcher MD. MSc

“Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.”

- Dr Robert H Fletcher MD. MSc

“NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES ARE

EXPRESSED AS ILLNESS”

Essentials

1) Vitamins - Good quality- Highly bio-available

2) Minerals- Needed by our body to use macro nutrients- Vitamins & enzymes need a mineral cofactor for proper function

3) Antioxidants- Comprehensive - ‘Full-body protection’

Chronic Nutrient DeficienciesProblem Widespread (JAMA 2002)

CONCLUSION: Suboptimal intake of some

vitamins (vitamin D, B vitamins, antioxidants) is:

Common in the general population, especially

the elderly, and

A risk factor for chronic diseases

“It appears prudent for all adults to take

vitamin supplements.”
