Nutrient Support

  • Taking multivitamins can be beneficial to health for people who don’t receive the proper nutrients from a balanced diet.

  • Many people find it difficult to eat a balanced and healthy diet, and multivitamins can help fill the nutritional gaps. A balanced diet, including sufficient fruit and vegetables, can reduce the risk of developing conditions such as heart disease and diabetes (AIHW 2023).

  • The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) 2013 Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend a minimum number of serves of fruit and vegetables each day, depending on a person's age and sex, to ensure good nutrition and health. In 2021, 94% of Australians were not getting their recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables, according to the latest data on dietary behaviours released by the Australia Bureau of Statistics (ABS 2022).

  • Levomefolate plays a role in synthesizing neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which regulate mood (Siu Kei Lam et al. 2022).

  • Observational studies have shown connections between higher choline levels and better cognitive performance (NIH 2022).

  • Levomefolate helps regulate homocysteine levels by supporting the methylation cycle. High homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, so maintaining proper levels can help support heart health (Siu Kei Lam et al. 2022).

  • Iodine deficiency is primarily caused by inadequate dietary intake of iodine and low iodine levels in the soil. Low intake iodine can lead to reduced thyroid hormone production (NIH 2022).

  • Choline may protect cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure, altering lipid profiles, and reducing levels of plasma homocysteine (NIH 2022).

Energy

  • Daily iron supplementation in menstruating women has been shown to increase hemoglobin levels and iron stores, reduce the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency, and improve both exercise performance and fatigue (Low et al. 2016).
