Vitamins and minerals play an important role in the body’s normal functioning. A varied and balanced diet is the starting point for obtaining them, but when dietary intake is insufficient or requirements increase, a supplement can help to top up these nutrients.
Multivitamin or multimineral? Both!
It is not just vitamins, but mineral supplementation too that is essential for the body’s wellbeing. For this reason, when choosing a supplement, it is important to consider both: for a complete formula, look for a supplement containing multiple vitamins and minerals, so that you can get all the necessary nutrients from a single product.
Which vitamins and minerals should you take?
The choice depends on your individual nutritional needs. Here are some vitamins and minerals found in multivitamin and multimineral supplements, along with their respective functions:
- Vitamin B9 (folate), Vitamin B12 and Iron: help reduce tiredness and fatigue.
- Vitamins B1, B3 and B6: contribute to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system.
- Vitamin C, selenium and copper: contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
Why choose CENTOPERCENTO?
CENTOPERCENTO 13 vitamins + 8 minerals is Colours of Life’s multivitamin and multimineral supplement that combines all the micronutrients in a single tablet a day, each providing 100 per cent of its respective Nutrient Reference Value (NRV).
A formula that allows you to supplement your intake of vitamins and minerals with just one tablet a day.
What does 100% of the NRVs mean?
The Nutrient Reference Value is the value set by the Ministry of Health to indicate the recommended intake of vitamins and minerals for adults on product labels. In the case of CENTOPERCENTO, one tablet provides 100 per cent of the NRV for each of the 13 vitamins and 8 minerals it contains.
This percentage helps you to read and compare different formulations: it does not represent the maximum recommended intake nor a measure of personal requirements, which may vary depending on individual characteristics.
How can you tell if it’s the right choice?
When choosing a supplement, you should start by considering your own needs. A balanced diet allows you to obtain the necessary nutrients directly from your food, but this is often not enough, and it is therefore advisable to increase your intake by taking a dietary supplement.
In this case, multivitamin and multimineral dietary supplements play a key role, and it is important to take them for the body’s general wellbeing.
