The importance of multivitamins

Vitamins are, without a doubt, indispensable elements for the proper functioning of the organism.

At certain stages of life, such as pregnancy, growth stages or intensive practice of sports or physical activities, the body requires this type of supplementation to a greater extent or in an adequate way.

Anyone may need to take vitamin supplements, to keep stress under control, to cope with the most intense periods of work/ study, to combat aging or to cope with the thousand daily tensions.

Unfortunately, not all people follow an equally correct diet and, while respecting the recommended minimum intake values, may need a vitamin supplement. Sport, stress, intense work and more or less important pathologies also increase the demands of vitamins in the body that could, therefore, be satisfied by using specific supplements.

Vitamins play several important roles in the body but at the same time it is very difficult to establish a key role for them, since they play ubiquitous roles in the human organism, practically dealing with “a little bit of everything” or better to make a multiplicity of functions work correctly.

Our organism is made up of a huge series of biochemical reactions strictly dependent on each other and when even one reaction does not work as it should, it causes a cascade of malfunctioning of a whole series of reactions related to it, triggering a chain mechanism that in many cases can alter the whole of some functions of the body causing real diseases. 

During the year, in particular periods such as changes of season, there may be increases in the need to adapt to new environmental conditions.

In general, before taking vitamin supplements, it is still good to ask for the prior opinion of your doctor, even more so if you suffer from ailments or diseases of any kind, if you are undergoing drug therapies (to avoid potential interactions) or if you are in a particular condition (for example, pregnancy or breastfeeding).
