The United States is one of the most overfed, overweight, and undernourished nations in the world.
Many Americans are eating more calories than they actually need each day however, they are not getting the essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals the body needs. One study conducted in 2003, found that children and adults with high intakes of added sugars, had lower dietary intakes of several micronutrients, especially vitamins A, C and E, and magnesium. (1,2,3)
About 75% of the US population do not consume the recommended intake of fruit, and more than 80% do not consume the recommended intake of vegetables. The truth is, we are simply not getting enough vitamins and minerals from our diet alone. (4)
What are micronutrients? And why are they so important?
Micronutrients are trace elements such as vitamins and minerals. Unlike macronutrients like protein, fats and carbohydrates, micronutrients are needed in smaller amounts by the body. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t vital for whole body wellness.
Micronutrients like vitamins and minerals play a central role in promoting a healthy metabolism, healthy skin, hair and nails. They also contain antioxidants which are associated with slowed aging and support detoxification pathways. (5,6,7,8)

The 3 Common Micronutrient Deficiencies in Women
Iron - An iron deficiency is the most common form of deficiency in the United States. Adolescent girls and women of childbearing age are particularly at risk of developing an iron deficiency. Iron is a mineral that’s vital to your health. All of your cells contain some iron, but most of the iron in your body is in your red blood cells. Red blood cells transport oxygen from your lungs to the organs and tissues throughout your body.
Iron may help manage unexplained fatigue and is really common in women, especially during their reproductive years. (9) Some common signs of an iron deficiency are fatigue, weakness, pale skin, dizziness or light headedness.
Vitamin B12 – Vitamin B12, is an essential vitamin, meaning your body needs it and cannot produce it on its own. Vitamin B12 can benefit your body in many amazing ways, such as increased energy, improved mental clarity, and helping to prevent heart disease.
Studies have shown, that up to 90% of vegetarians and vegans may be deficient in vitamin B12. (10,11)
Like many other important nutrients, this vitamin does deplete with age as the body’s ability to absorb it, decreases over time. (12,13,14) Typical signs of a vitamin B12 deficiency include weakness, or tiredness, pale skin, irritability, constipation, and depression.

Vitamin D – Vitamin D is produced from cholesterol in your skin upon exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D is produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight. In the United States, approximately 42% of people may be deficient in this crucial vitamin. Older adults and people with darker skin are at even greater risk for a vitamin D deficiency since their skin produces less vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. (15,16)
Try supplementing with vitamin D, if you’re trying to lose weight. One study showed that people taking a calcium and vitamin D supplement were able to lose more weight than those who did not. It was reported that the additional calcium and vitamin D had an appetite suppressing effect.

Recent research has appeared that shows vitamin D may play an important role in regulating mood and can block off depression. In this study, researchers found that people with depression who received vitamin D supplements, noticed a big improvement in their symptoms. (17)
Some common vitamin D deficiency signs are lowered immune function, fatigue and tiredness, muscle pain, depression, and hair loss.
Not all multivitamins are created equal.
Despite all the studies linking the use of multivitamins with improved health markers, it is important to remember that not all multivitamins are created equally. Synthetic, or artificially produced multivitamins have shown to have little to no effect on health in some studies, while others have shown that they can even cause harm.
Toxic by-products from synthetic vitamins can build up in the body, causing unnecessary stress and harm. With thousands of multivitamins available on the market, it can be difficult to find one that is safe, natural, and effective. This is where VitaMineral Complete 2.0 makes it easy.
