WHY DO WE NEED TO TAKE A MULT-VITAMIN?
Healthy cells are vital to our organs, joints, and uric acid maintenance. They are essential to all living things as a source for vitality, cell protection, balanced metabolism, and good health in general. With few exceptions, vitamins are not primarily manufactured by the body. They must be obtained by way of healthy food selections and dietary supplements. Unfortunately, obtaining enough through our diet has become increasingly difficult.
This is true for several reasons:
(1) Poor food choices within the confines of our typical diet do not contain nearly enough of the vitamins the body requires.
(2) Many of our food choices come from processed selections, which hold very little, if any, nutrient value. Sadly, they often contain more harmful substances by comparison to the naturally occurring micronutrients that should be present.
(3) High, direct heat cooking methods- microwaves, frying, grilling, broiling- actually leach the vitamins from the food and from the body as well. These cooking methods chemically alter the food’s original state and even add undesirable substances to the body, namely carcinogens.
(4) Our once nutrient-rich soil has also been altered by chemicals such as pesticides and other outside environmental sources. This only adds to the lack of available nutrients within. Our crops are chemically forced to grow faster, but not better. Many are picked even before they have ripened. Then they are forced to appear ripe as a result of dangerous, unconventional methods.
You can still obtain trace amounts of vitamins and minerals from the diet; even more so if you are more careful with selection and cooking methods. Given the above considerations, it remains essential that you also provide the body with the support of a dietary supplement.

As we age and our cells break down, physical problems tend to rise. With the addition of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and herbs, we can slow the natural process down a bit; resulting in less uric acid production and an increase our cells and cell life. Aging is inevitable, but we can control whether we age slowly with good nutrition or age faster with several years of poor health and slews of prescription drugs.
Uric acid is created by the foods we eat at a rate of about 30-40%. The remainder of uric acid production is a direct result of cellular degeneration. Cells break down for several reasons. For one, they simply die naturally. However, a failure to provide enough vitamins and minerals can cause the cells to form improperly. They wind up breaking down at a quicker rate than they actually should. This is why gout and other diseases becomes more prevalent as we age, and our cells are dying at a faster pace.
