Vitamins and minerals are involved in many normal body processes, from energy metabolism to normal muscle and immune function. Supplement choice should start with diet and actual needs, not with the assumption that a longer ingredient list is automatically better.
Magnesium, zinc and minerals
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle and nervous-system function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Zinc contributes to normal immune function and protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Vitamin C contributes to normal immune function and normal collagen formation. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function. B vitamins have different roles in energy metabolism.
Multivitamin or single-nutrient formula?
A multivitamin is convenient for a broad formula, but it does not replace a varied diet. Compare reference-intake percentages, serving count and the recommended daily dose.
