Conditions that suggest Supplementation Need:
 
 
Immunity  Weakened Immune System
 Inadequate vitamin and mineral intake has been associated with immune deficiency and improper energy metabolism. It appears that most immune system dysfunction actually results from a vitamin and/or mineral deficiency rather than protein deficiency.
 
 

Risk factors for Supplementation Need:
 
 
Supplements and MedicationsCounter-indicators:
  Multiple mineral supplement use
  Multiple vitamin supplement use
 
 

Supplementation Need suggests the following may be present:
 
 
Nutrients  Multiple Mineral, General Requirement
  Multiple Vitamin Need
 
 

Recommendations for Supplementation Need:
 
 
Extract  Bioperine (Black Pepper)
 Bioperine enhances nutrient absorption, meaning that more of the nutrients consumed will be made available for important bodily functions. It has been said "You are what you eat", but nutrient availability depends just as much on what you absorb.

Vitamins
  Multiple Vitamin Supplement

GLOSSARY

Immune System:  A complex that protects the body from disease organisms and other foreign bodies. The system includes the humoral immune response and the cell-mediated response. The immune system also protects the body from invasion by making local barriers and inflammation.

Metabolism:  The chemical processes of living cells in which energy is produced in order to replace and repair tissues and maintain a healthy body. Responsible for the production of energy, biosynthesis of important substances, and degradation of various compounds.

Mineral:  Plays a vital role in regulating many body functions. They act as catalysts in nerve response, muscle contraction and the metabolism of nutrients in foods. They regulate electrolyte balance and hormonal production, and they strengthen skeletal structures.

Protein:  Compounds composed of hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen present in the body and in foods that form complex combinations of amino acids. Protein is essential for life and is used for growth and repair. Foods that supply the body with protein include animal products, grains, legumes, and vegetables. Proteins from animal sources contain the essential amino acids. Proteins are changed to amino acids in the body.
