Studies conducted in 2002, by the American Medical Association, show strong associations between vitamin deficiencies and cancer, coronary heart disease and osteoporosis. Studies also show that some vitamins, if taken in combination and at higher dosages than normally recommended for basic nutritional needs, can help to prevent certain diseases such as Alzheimer's and can greatly reduce the risk of death from heart disease and stroke. Still other studies showed that vitamins played a relevant role in the prevention of birth defects and prostate cancer.
It has already been widely recognized that most people aren't getting the vitamins they need on a daily basis from diet alone, so it is no wonder that those same studies recommended that all adults take a multivitamin daily.
So the most basic thing we can do to improve our over all health is to take a premium quality multivitamin every day, not only for our basic nutritional needs but for prevention of certain diseases as well.
That being said, how do you determine what is a good, quality, high content vitamin that you can be sure is going to give you the nutrition you need on a daily basis as well as provide the disease fighting and prevention properties mentioned above? There are some vitamins that should definitely not be overlooked, coincidentally, they are the same as the ones that the population is most commonly deficient in!

Minerals are very important in facilitating a number of biochemical and physiological processes necessary for the maintenance of life, including supporting the health of organs, bones, tissue and the immune system. Unfortunately, this is the most serious area of deficiency in most people. Some of the most common mineral deficiencies are listed below, along with corresponding health conditions associated with those deficiencies:
| Calcium | osteoporosis, muscle cramps, nerve dysfunction |
| Iron | anemia, fatigue, impaired memory |
| Copper | bone/teeth problems, aneurysms |
| Chromium | diabetes, heart disease |
| Magnesium | depression, insomnia, muscle cramping, irritability |
Make sure your daily supplement contains the above, plus a wide variety of other trace and ultra-trace minerals. Because minerals are not made by the body, they must be supplied by outside sources and consumed on a daily basis. Deficiencies in even trace or ultra trace minerals can eventually lead to disease, so look for a premium supplement that offers a wide spectrum of essential major, trace and ultra trace minerals
