A Nude Health Guide to finding a good multi-nutrient formula

The insurance policy

A high quality multi nutrient formula acts like an insurance policy and covers your base nutrition needs. It can be difficult to get exactly what you need every day yet getting the right nutrients daily is one of the best ways to maintain good health. Research suggests that not meeting your nutrition requirements can contribute towards diseases. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/195038

There are a few lifestyle factors which greatly increase your need for nutrients, where even the healthiest of diets would not meet nutrient demand. These factors include smoking, consuming alcohol, sugar, caffeine or processed foods, stress and certain diseases. None of us are exempt from stress, and most of the population enjoy daily tea or coffee with caffeine so we can see how our nutrients may be depleted.

Even in the absence of these factors, you need to be very genetically strong, very healthy and consume a very healthy diet from home-grown organic foods, freshly picked for each meal to warrant not taking a multi-nutrient formula. We always say “food first” but it can be exceptionally difficult to get all the right amounts of all the nutrients even from an exceptionally good diet.

Nude Health Multi-nutrient formula ensures a base level of nutrition, which can be a great addition to a healthy diet.   

High quality nutrients

A high quality multi-nutrient formula will contain active and bioavailable forms of nutrients. Many poor quality multi nutrient formulas contain cheap and bio-inactive forms, making them vastly unusable in the body, or meaning that the body has to put in a great deal of effort to use them.

Nude Health Multi-nutrient formula provides vitamin A, rather than beta carotene. This is important as some individuals cannot convert beta carotene into vitamin A and may end up deficient. Other active and bioavailable nutrients provided are vitamin D3, and K2, both of which are biologically more available and easier for the body to use. Methylcobalamin is the methylated form of vitamin B12, meaning it is ready for the body to use and does not need to go through a chain of complex biochemical reactions. Some people simply cannot make the active form of B12 from other types of B12 supplements, and without the methylated form would become deficient. Nude Health uses the most preferred forms of nutrients to ensure you get the most out of your multi.

The full range of Bs

Another sign of a good multi-nutrient is the full spectrum of B vitamins This includes folic acid, biotin, and B-like vitamins MYO-inositol and choline, as well as all of the commonly known B vitamins. B vitamins are essential for many metabolic functions in the body including for energy production, brain and nerve function, immunity, hair, skin, and nails. B vitamins are also needed for your body to produce an adequate stress response. B vitamins are water soluble and get washed out of the body daily. This means that a daily source is required.

Essential phytonutrients

Citrus bioflavonoids are another great addition to Nude Health Multi-nutrient formula. They enhance the absorption and action of vitamin C and in nature, are always found alongside vitamin C. Citrus Bioflavonoids help to mop up free radical damage which when in excess can contribute to a wide variety of diseases. Although not considered ‘essential’, it is hard to imagine a healthy diet without bioflavonoids.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient often not found in multi-nutrient formulas, as it is costly to produce. Only the highest quality multis will contain it. Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient that is used by the energy making centres in the cells called the mitochondria. As we get older, our natural production of coenzyme Q10 decreases, and so does our energy. Coenzyme Q10 being an energy source for the cells may be beneficial to the heart which constantly has to make energy for its constant functioning. Other organs which require a lot of energy include the brain, and the muscles during periods of exercise. Coenzyme Q10 also aids the body with combating excess free radicals which may be useful for maintaining health.

Check the excipients

What is in your multi supplement is important but so it what’s not in them! Old fashioned supplements contain many excipients which are just not needed with modern technology. Some of these excipients such as titanium dioxide have been banned in some parts of Europe due to their negative effect on health– so why are some companies still using them? If an excipient sounds dodgy, it probably is. Nude Health only uses ingredients that will actually be helpful to the body.  Be assured that Nude Health’s multi vitamin and mineral has been formulated to include nothing but the best nutrients to help you with your good health journey.
