Recent studies show that many people are not getting the nutrients their bodies need. In spite of the fact that 65% of Americans take supplements, 98% have nutrient deficiencies. Why is this? There are many factors at play here, and one of them is that taking a multivitamin without an understanding of what you need is like throwing darts in the dark.
Here are a few more reasons why nutrient deficiencies are so prevalent:
• Prescriptions can rob you of specific nutrients that are not taken into account in mass-produced multivitamins.
• Our diets are not always nutritionally balanced.
• Over-farming and other commercial farming practices have created foods with less nutrient density.
• Stress, negative emotions and poor diet can lower body pH, which affects vital nutrients as the body works to rebalance pH.
• Each person has unique biochemical needs that may be different from other people’s needs.
Why does matching your body’s nutrient needs matter?
• Nutrient deficiencies are a leading cause of chronic health conditions and diseases.
• Nutrients are the essential building blocks for maintaining good health.
• Nutrients allow the body to build, repair and to help you feel your best.
