Multiva

Why should I take a multivitamin?

Many of us, even those who conscientiously make an effort to eat healthily, may not be obtaining all the vitamins, nutrients and minerals our body requires. Because we tend to consume more of the foods we like – and avoid what we don’t like – we’re at risk of missing out on the wider variety of nutrients provided by those foods we don’t eat regularly.

Compounding this risk is the prevalence of mineral deficiencies in New Zealand soils; these include selenium (for breast and prostate health), chromium, (for healthy metabolism, insulin levels and healthy blood sugar levels) and iodine (metabolism, healthy thyroid function). Although these deficiencies are not necessarily evident in the short term, ongoing they can lead to serious and chronic health conditions. About Health has spent many years researching and developing a multivitamin, mineral and nutrient formula which meets the unique needs of New Zealanders.

Multiva® provides optimal doses of selenium, chromium and iodine — important nutrients that are commonly lacking in local soils and many diets.

What makes Multiva^® special?

Unlike standard multivitamin supplements that are sold in New Zealand and Australia, Multiva® is formulated specifically for the needs of New Zealanders. Each Multiva® tablet contains a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals and nutrients expertly combined to address any deficiencies caused by dietary choices and/or the absence of essential nutrients in New Zealand soils.

SELENIUM - is an essential trace mineral that has long been deficient in New Zealand soil — and therefore in many of our foods. Selenium is an important antioxidant, required to maintain a healthy immune system, thyroid function and male fertility.

IODINE - is a trace mineral also deficient in New Zealand soil. Although only required in small amounts, iodine is an important component of the thyroid hormones that regulate our moods, metabolism and weight management.

CHROMIUM - is another necessary trace mineral for New Zealanders, which supports healthy blood sugar regulation and weight management.
