Did you know that you’re just one scoop-a-day away from essential good health? We know that, today, due to food degradation and overprocessing, not to mention our crazy lifestyle dynamics, we are not eating the most nutrient-dense foods that we should if we want to build great bodies and have a healthy and long life. Our Get Essentials combines 5 grams of Multi-Vitamin & Minerals for an optimal blend of these nutrients to boost the immune system and healthy brain function. Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals that all humans need to maintain strong bodies, mental sharpness and strong immune systems. They are present in the diet and in the body in small amounts representing only about 4% of your body’s total weight. Vitamins cannot be manufactured by the body; therefore you must get them from food. They are not usually metabolized for energy, but some are essential for the production of energy from the Macronutrients you eat by acting as cofactors in making molecules. Minerals, on the other hand, are inorganic nutrients that are essential structural components in the body and are necessary for many vital metabolic processes. Our bodies need to ingest a precise mix of 59 substances daily, all found from the foods we eat. Some you need a lot of, others only an infinitesimal amount. The most important of these are: Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon, and Sulfur. The rest are Minerals, Vitamins, Co-factors, Essential Amino Acids and Essential Fatty Acids. Every individual has a particular range of intake of each nutrient that will yield optimum function. Because each individual’s body, lifestyle and environment is unique, their nutritional requirements are unique, as well. No single eating plan fits all. Even though your body needs only infinitesimal amounts of Vitamins and Minerals in your daily diet, they can have big implications on your overall health as well as giving you that critical edge when competing or just losing that last five pounds. For example, the average person may only need 30 milligrams of Vitamin C in their diets daily to remain healthy. But, remove this valuable vitamin and watch your health decline into a pernicious state of scurvy. Screw with your Micronutrients and they can screw with you. Until the late 1970’s, Vitamins and Minerals were only researched to determine levels needed to avoid deficiencies. Today, however, more and more research is concluding that specific levels of Micronutrients can affect performance. If you exercise in the gym, pool, track or on the court, you put your body through stress. Different exercises require different levels of nutrition. When you stress your body, more specific nutrients are required for repair. You may be thinking It’s hard enough to get the right ratios of Carbs, Protein and Fats and now you need to worry about vitamins and minerals too! Don’t sweat it. Get Essentials does the math for you.
