Vitamins are critical to so many bodily functions, and are therefore very important for overall health and well being. The best sources of vitamins are natural sources ingested in your daily diet, particularly from fresh fruit and vegetables. However, a multivitamin tablet is a good insurance policy to make sure you are getting the correct amount of these important nutrients every day. A multivitamin will usually contain the recommended daily dose of each vitamin, so a separate supplement, for example, for vitamin A or vitamin B complex should not be necessary.

What is the best combination of vitamins for your body? Here are some of the basic vitamins you should look for in a good multivitamin tablet.

Vitamin A is very important for sight and a healthy immune function. A deficiency in vitamin A can cause a condition known as night blindness. It also helps to keep your skin and bones healthy.

Vitamin B-6 is used to as a vitamin treatment for a number of conditions including joint pain, eyes that are sensitive to bright light and tingling or burning in the extremities. Vitamin B6 works with magnesium and zinc.

Vitamin B-12 is used in the blood to convert iron to hemoglobin. It also assists with the production of hormones and can improve the short-term of the elderly. Vitamin B-12 also helps the health of the nervous system.
Folic acid is an important nutrient which assists with heart health. In particular, pregnant women should take a sufficient amount of folic acid in order to minimize the risk of birth defects.

Vitamin C is well known as a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants can help prevent cellular damage caused by frees radicals, and may therefore prevent a number of different forms of cancer. Vitamin C is also important to healthy immune function, and can help the body to fight viruses or infections such as cold and flu.

Vitamin D helps to keep your bones healthy mainly because it assists in the absorption of calcium. It can also decrease the risk of cardiac failure, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and some forms of cancer.

    Is there a really good commercial multi-vitamin on the market that covers all of these vitamins? Or are you better off taking them individually to get the best results? This is something that I have always wondered about.
