Getting The Combination
At one time you would have had to buy the nutrients I recommend individually. However buying the nutrients separately is expensive, and tiresome, so a combination brand can be a better buy.
Combination Brands
There are two manufacturers offering a formula that I think qualifies as comprehensive: the Uni-Vite NutriShield brand and Solgar Advanced Formula.
The Solgar Advanced Formula is among the best of the retail brands. NutriShield is more advanced as it incorporates all the nutrients that I think are important, including betaine, glucosamine, lycopene, Q10 and Omega 3 fish oil – which Solgar omits.
You can find NutriShield on www.nutrishield.com
Solgar Advanced Formula is available at specialist health food shops.

In this 5-article review, Dr Alex Vasquez from OptimalHealthResearch.com (providing textbooks and seminars for doctors) reviews peer-reviewed research substantiating the use of multivitamin-multimineral supplementation. Five conclusions that can be drawn from this research are: 1) Mild vitamin deficiencies are common in the general population and contribute to the development of several different chronic diseases. Most adults should therefore take nutritional supplements containing vitamins and minerals. “Physicians should…ensure that [patients] are taking vitamins they should…” 2) Vitamin deficiencies–especially when mild–can result in “long-latency deficiency diseases” which can include osteoporosis, chronic pain, depression, heart disease, and cancer even while there is no evidence of acute or severe nutritional deficiency. 3) High-dose vitamin supplementation helps overcome genetic defects that result in altered enzyme structure. High-dose vitamin supplementation makes the defective enzyme work more effectively and efficiently. 4) Daily multivitamin-multimineral supplementation is an inexpensive way to help ensure that nutritional needs are met so that one’s metabolism and physiology function optimally. “…highlight the need to educate the public about the crucial importance of optimal nutrition and the potential health benefits of something as simple and affordable as a daily multivitamin/multimineral supplement.” 5) Nutritional supplementation with vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids has been shown to improve mood, intelligence, and psychosocial functioning. This is important to each of us as individuals and as members of society as a whole.
