The problem is, we think we eat enough of the right foods. The only way to get adequate amounts of nutrition into our bodies is to eat well and add a good full spectrum multi-vitamin/mineral to your regiment. The featured article to the right from Time, The Real Power of Vitamins, with the sub caption of "New research shows they may help fight Cancer, Heart Disease and the ravages of AGING" proves that this is not a new theory. The article was published April 6, 1992!

"....more and more scientists are starting to suspect that traditional medical views of vitamins and minerals have been too limited....Vitamins-often in doses much higher than those usually recommended-may protect against a host of ills ranging from birth defects and cataracts to heart disease and cancer...Even more provocative are glimmers that vitamins can stave off the normal ravages of aging."

It is one of the reasons I have been a advocate of daily supplementing since 1993. I also believe that it is important to have a company that puts the majority on money into research instead of marketing an have therefore become a distributor of Pharmanex.
