Basic Nutrients 2/Day 60caps - Thorne

Keep your nutrition high—and your capsule counting down—with Thorne 's Basic Nutrients 2/Day, a complete multivitamin and mineral formula in just two capsules a day.

Core Nutrients 2/Day is a complete multivitamin/mineral formula that contains key nutrients for fundamental support, including heart, brain, nerve, immune, bone, and skin health.

A daily multivitamin/mineral supplement is more important than many people realize. Because it can be difficult to consume five servings of vegetables and fruits a day, few of us get all the nutrition we need from our diet. Basic Nutrients 2/Day uses the purest, most absorbable vitamins and minerals—without unnecessary additives and preservatives. It provides an excellent nutritional foundation to complement a healthy diet, all in a convenient two-capsule-per-day regimen.

The health benefits of Basic Nutrients 2/Day include:

• Vitamin A to promote eye health, healthy skin and immune function

• Vitamins C and E and mixed tocopherols to provide antioxidant support for cellular protection

• Vitamin D to promote strong bones and a healthy immune system

• B vitamins to support a healthy heart, blood vessels, and nerves

• Vitamins K1 and K2 to support bone and blood vessel health

• Zinc bisglycinate, a highly absorbable form of zinc, for immune function and skin health

• Chromium to support healthy blood sugar levels

• Plus several other well-absorbed glycinated minerals

According to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine , 32% of US adults take a multivitamin. The main reason given was to improve overall health. Groups at particular risk of nutritional deficiencies who may benefit from a multivitamin include adolescents, athletes, the elderly, individuals on a restrictive diet, those with a chronic illness, and individuals taking medications that cause nutritional deficiencies as a side effect.

A good multivitamin/mineral supplement can be considered "dietary insurance" to ensure all essential nutrients are consumed daily. Even greater health benefits can be realized when a healthy diet is combined with a multivitamin/mineral supplement.
