Daily Vita Plus™
BASIC VITAMIN FOUNDATION
Some vitamins may help prevent medical problems, while others may maintain barriers to keep out bacteria and viruses, and a lack or low level of certain vitamins may develop deficiency diseases. Vitamins can be obtained from a healthy, balanced diet, but for optimal health, a diatary multi-vitamin supplment may be required.
A vitamin is an organic compound required in tiny amounts for essential metabolic reactions within the body. The term "vitamin" is derived from the words "vital" and "amine" (part of an amino acid), since vitamins are required for life. Vitamins work together with minerals, enzymes, and other nutrients, to produce health.
Vitamins are essential for human growth and development, as well as for the healthy maintenance of all cells, tissues, and organs. Once growth and development are completed, vitamins remain essential to enable us to efficiently use the energy provided by the food we eat, and to help process the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats required for respiration.
Sufficient daily vitamin intake may best be obtained by eating whole raw or slightly cooked foods. Supplementation may be necessary, however, because of inadequate intake or poor nutrient absorption. Most of us find that a busy lifestyle, excessive stress, or illness, can make getting enough good nutrition difficult or impossible.
Vitamins are classified as either water-soluble, meaning that they dissolve easily in water, or fat-soluble, which are absorbed through the intestinal tract with the help of fats. Both types of vitamins must be taken daily. Water soluble vitamins do not store in the body, whereas fat soluble vitamins do, and Daily Vita Plus provides us with both types.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)
Why are your vitamins and minerals bottled separately rather than together?
Vitamins and minerals are two unique nutritional combinations that are best bottled and stored separately to avoid the breakdown of certain vitamins by certain minerals, which would occur if those were mixed and stored together.
Why are both vitamins and minerals important?
Vitamins and minerals work together. Their combination and interaction is required to support the healthy function of all body structures. A shortage of just one nutrient may result in an imbalance of underproduction of hundreds of essential compounds. Even if no single nutrient is totally lacking from the diet, partial deficiencies of some nutrients are common. Research indicates that diseases of almost every variety may have a nutrient deficiency as a contributing component. Daily Vita Plus and Mega Minerals Plus or Coral Complete Caps form an essential part of a basic nutritional program.
What is the difference between Daily Vita Plus regular and Daily Vita Plus vegetarian formulas?
Three animal-derived ingredients in Daily Vita Plus regular formula are replaced with herb-derived ingredients in the Daily Vita Plus vegetarian formula, to provide an alternative for those who prefer a completely vegetarian diet. Benefits are the same with either formula.
Can Daily Vita Plus and Mega Minerals Plus be taken together in the same glass?
Yes, they can. This is more convenient for people with busy schedules. One day would not be long enough for any vitamin degradation, if taken the same day.

All questions will be answered within 24 hours during the work week.
