Experts Recommend All Adults Take Daily Multivitamin
Experts Recommend All Adults Take Daily Multivitamin A report in the latest issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) 1) recommends that, in addition to eating a healthy diet, all adults should take a multivitamin to reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. Advanced Formula Multibionta, a Probiotic Multivitamin, can give this daily dose of multivitamins in combination with probiotic cultures, which help to combat the effects of a hectic lifestyle. According to the British Dietetic Association, people in Britain are on average only eating three portions of fruit and vegetables a day, which means they are missing out on essential vitamins and minerals. Taking a multivitamin may reduce chances of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis. Says Professor Glen Gibson, Head of the Food Microbial Sciences Unit, School of Food Biosciences at the University of Reading, "Taking a multivitamin every day is an easy step to help facilitate good health. A probiotic multivitamin has the added advantage of helping to combat digestive problems. "It is recognised that certain 'friendly' bacteria, such as the probiotics of the bifidobacteria and lactobacilli type found in Advanced Formula Multibionta are able to inhibit or kill pathogens. If we can stimulate these then the chances of restoring balance." Advanced Formula Multibionta is a complete multivitamin as well as a probiotic, supplying a guaranteed 10,000,000 Probiotics. The tablet is enteric coated, to ensure that the probiotics are protected on their journey through the digestive system, to where they are of most benefit. - ends - For more information, please contact: Brandy Ruff Sarita Tamber Tel: (020) 7841 5636 Tel: (020) 7950 2811 bruff@webershandwick.com stamber@webershanwick.com The Journal of the American Medical Association 2002; 287:3116-3126, 3127-3129 ------------------------------------------------------------ This information was brought to you by Waymaker http://www.waymaker.net The following files are available for download: http://www.waymaker.net/bitonline/2002/09/18/20020918BIT00670/wkr0001.doc http://www.waymaker.net/bitonline/2002/09/18/20020918BIT00670/wkr0002.pdf
