Vitamins No Longer as Easy as A, B, C

(NewsUSA) - With the endless number of vitamin and nutritional supplements on the market today, it's hard to understand exactly what each vitamin and supplement does, and how it benefits your health.

From the latest "good bacteria" to your tried-and-true vitamins A, B and C, what should you be looking for in your nutritional supplement?

The makers of NuVim, a fruit-flavored, dietary supplement drink, offer an expert rundown of must-haves in your supplements and vitamins:

* Whey Protein Milk -; Whey protein milk contains a variety of nutrients and essential amino acids that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects such as relief from arthritis pain. In fact, a study of 31 people whose physicians diagnosed them with osteoarthritis in their knees, found improvement in their ability to perform the activities of daily living, including going up and down stairs and rising from a sitting position. With newer research from the New England Journal of Medicine revealing that arthritis medications such as glucosamine and chondroitin are less effective than previously believed, this is a must-have in your supplemental routine.

* NutraFlora -; This cutting-edge supplemental ingredient found in NuVim is composed of micronutrients, including antibodies against pathogens, which limit the ability of harmful bacteria to adhere inside the body. This ingredient thereby assists your immune system. And with cold and flu season on the way, your immune system will thank you for this powerful nutrient.

* Vitamin B12 -; Vitamin B12 is essential to maintaining healthy nerve cells, red blood cells and DNA. New research may even suggest this vitamin can be an ally in the fight against dementia. Vitamin B12, however, often becomes difficult for adults over the age of 50 to absorb from foods. As a result, Vitamin B12 in synthetic or supplemental form is the best way for this age group to get their recommended daily amount of B12.

* Zinc -; Zinc is required in the body to maintain healthy skin and bones, promote fertility, continue proper growth in children, preserve vision and increase immunity. Zinc deficiencies, however, are more common than you might think. A low-calorie diet, for example, may contribute to zinc deficiencies. As a result, it is a good idea to use a supplement that contains zinc.
