However, many peoplereceive sub-optimal amounts of nutrients for a variety ofreasons. A daily multivitamin-mineral supplement cansupply missing nutrients in the diet and may also help toreduce the risk of developing certain health conditions. Infact, in 2002, the Journal of the American MedicalAssociation made a recommendation that all adults take adaily multivitamin in addition to eating a healthy diet. 1There are a number of factors influencing a person’snutritional status, which may make a multivitamin a wisechoice for the maintenance of overall good health. Suchfactors include an unbalanced diet with too little freshfruit, vegetables and whole grains; excessiveconsumption of processed or refined (nutrient-poor)foods, which are readily available for consumption; acompromised digestive system; ingestion of excessivesalt, sugar, caffeine, or alcohol; use of prescriptionmedications that alter nutrient absorption oreffectiveness; and exposure to environmental stressorssuch as pollution. In addition, individuals who regularlyskip meals, eat on the run, are under stress, or who followrestrictive diets may be missing important nutrients.Regular Vita-Vim TM provides a full complement ofnutrients necessary to support daily metabolic processes,and allows one to use food to their best advantage foroptimal health. It is a precision combination of essentialRegular Vita-Vim TM has recently been reformulated toreflect the latest scientific evidence on various nutrientsand their importance to health. In particular this formulafeatures:Low levels of Vitamin A and Beta-carotene: Theprevious Daily Value (DV) of 5,000 IU per day of VitaminA is outdated. In 2001, the Food and Nutrition Board ofthe Institute of Medicine established a RecommendedDietary Allowance (RDA) for Vitamin A that is equivalentto 3,000 IU per day for men over 19 years of age and 2,333IU per day for women over 19 years of age. The new RDAreflects the amount of Vitamin A that is needed to supportreproductive and immune function, gene expression andhealthy vision. In light of these recommendations, RegularVita-Vim TM contains 3000 IU (900 mcg/RAE) of VitaminA. Recent research suggests that intakes in excess of thisamount may weaken bones and increase the risk of hipfractures in postmenopausal women. 2Beta-carotene is a carotenoid compound that the bodyconverts into Vitamin A as needed, but is not associatedwith these same adverse effects. 6 Regular Vita-Vim TMcontains 600 mcg of beta-carotene, which gives naturalantioxidant support while providing an additional source ofVitamin A.High level of Vitamin D: Canadians generally do notreceive enough sunlight to meet their Vitamin D needs,particularly during the dark winter months. 7 In addition,very few foods naturally contain Vitamin D – the primarysource is fortified milk, as well as fatty fish such as salmonand cereals that are fortified with this important nutrient.Regular Vita-Vim TM contains 15 mcg/600 IU of Vitamin Dto reflect the current Vitamin D recommendation forhealthy adults from the Institute of Medicine. Vitamin D iswell-known for the important role it plays in helping thebody to absorb calcium and for maintaining strong bonesto prevent osteoporosis.

Vitamin D status and the risk of developing cancer.The authors concluded that adequate Vitamin Dsupplementation may offer a protective effect againstthe risk of breast, prostate, colon and ovariancancers. 3• In a previous study, these same researchers foundthat individuals with a sufficient intake of Vitamin Dhad a 50% reduction in the incidence of colorectalcancer. This led the authors to recommend dailysupplementation with 1,000 IU of Vitamin D forcancer prevention. 4• A study published in the The Lancet found thatchildren, whose mothers took Vitamin Dsupplements during their pregnancy, hadsignificantly larger bones and a higher bone-mineralcontent in their bodies than children whose mothersdid not take Vitamin D. 5Regular Vita-Vim TM is formulated from natural sourcesand is pharmaceutically tested to guarantee full potencyand absolute clinical purity.What makes Regular Vita-Vim TM from JamiesonLaboratories different and why does that difference meanbetter?1) Formulated with Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) asopposed to D2.
