One of the most important aspects of maintaining good health is ensuring that one meets the recommended daily nutrient needs through the food one eats. A nutrient deficiency in the daily diet could impact the quality of life and result in ailments. Its important to raise awareness on how one can meet their bodys complete nutrition requirements and overcome the insufficiencies in their daily diet, thereby filling the nutrition gap, says Dr K Loganathan, HOD and Consulting Physician, SKS hospital, Salem, adding, The daily consumption of a nutrition supplement helps the body replenish and maintain adequate micronutrients, which in turn helps in several ways, including boosting your immunity, maintaining energy levels and improving heart health.

While our average Indian diet is high on nutrition, it still only fulfils up to 70per cent, or even lower, of ones daily vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) need. This shocking revelation came from theSupradyn Nutrition Survey2021 where an overwhelming 85per cent of 220 doctors and nutritionists surveyed from urban India believed the above to be the case. The research also reported that Vitamin B12 and D3 are the top two vitamins lacking in an average daily diet across the country, followed by Zinc, Iron, Calcium, Folic Acid and Vitamin C.

This data might surprise many, like Dr V Chandrasekhar, Professor, HOD of Medicine & Cardiology Department and Superintendent of MGM Hospital, Warangal, points out. He says, Often times people are perplexed when they are unable to improve their energy and immunity levels even after trying their best to eat right, sleep well and exercise regularly. The reason behind this is brilliantly captured in Supradyns Nutrition Survey. Inclusion of multivitamin-multi-mineral supplements helps the body absorb essential nutrients such as Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, Iron, Calcium, among others, which play a pivotal role in nourishing the body.

The Indian diet has a 70-30 barrier, meaning that while we do get up to 70per cent of the vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) from regular meals, the deficit of 30% still remains. What can be done to overcome this 70-30 barrier? Like Dr Chandrashekhar says, one can take multivitamin supplements, which help overcome the nutrient deficit of our diet. If you have any apprehensions about taking supplements, Dr Ahmed Mohiuddin, Consulting Physician and HOD of Department of Medicine, ZOI Hospitals, Hyderabad, assures that multivitamin and multi-mineral supplements are composed of all the essential micronutrients your body needs. For instance, the Vitamin B complex helps to convert food into energy and keeps the nervous system functioning properly. Vitamin C and Zinc are proven to increase immune function. We hope that this survey helps educate the masses, helping them achieve adequate nutrition requirements.

Wondering how do multivitamins help? There are multiple benefits like maintaining skin health, eye health, hair health, and, most importantly, considering the need of recent times to improve immunity and increase energy levels.Do keep in mind though, that you need to consult your doctor before you take any supplements.Here are the two main health benefits of taking multivitamins.

Increases energy levels:Research shows that consumption of multivitamins can cause a boost in mood, reduce anxiety, and increase energy levels. In addition, it also shows a trend towards better sleep.

Helps improve immunity:Vitamins and supplements help to keep your immune system healthy, thus reducing the chance of falling sick due to viral infections. You are advised to have vitamin D and zinc supplements for the same.

Another question that arises is whether you need to take multiple supplements for each nutrient. No! TheSupradyn Daily Multivitamin Supplementtablet is all you need in a day to get up to 100% of the key nutrients. The new Supradyn Daily with its improved formulation contains 5 times zinc (as compared to the old Supradyn formulation) and 12 essential vitamins, that helps build your immunity on a daily basis and provide higher energy levels to lead a healthy life. So, check with your doctor and start putting your health first. You can buy the tablets here.
