I would definitely recommend a multivitamin to anyone who is taking daily medications for chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and arthritis. This is because all drugs cause a deficiency of several nutrients in our body. There are many medicines that I am taking now, but there are many people who say that it is too burdensome to take nutritional supplements. Some people worry about injuring their livers. Concentrates made from grass roots decoctions or products whose contents are not known accurately can cause liver damage. However, multivitamins with nutrient-specific ingredients and content tailored to your daily needs will never cause liver damage. Again, this is because it is only a pill in form, and the ingredients in it are the same as food.
It is recommended to take multivitamins even after middle age, when the absorption rate of nutrients decreases. As we age, the secretion of hormones decreases, and just as the skin wrinkles, so does the stomach. The secretion of digestive juices decreases, and the secretion of stomach acid after a meal is also reduced. Many people over the age of 40 are diagnosed with atrophic gastritis when they have a gastroscopy. If you have atrophic gastritis, the secretion of stomach acid decreases even more. In particular, folic acid, which prevents colon cancer, and calcium, which helps with bone health, are difficult to absorb into the body without the help of stomach acid. Therefore, after middle age, it is necessary to balance the nutrients that are often lacking by taking multivitamins. It's a good idea to match it. Especially after the age of 65, nutrient absorption decreases even more, so the help of a multivitamin is essential.
Even when dieting, it is recommended to take multivitamins. Obesity is known to be a disease caused by eating too much and moving little, resulting in the accumulation of excess calories. Of course, we can't talk about obesity except calories. However, even if you eat the same and move the same, some people will gain weight and some will not. Of course, there are differences in age and genetics, but nutritional imbalances also play a role. In particular, if the daily caloric intake is less than 1,200 kcal, symptoms such as dry skin, hair loss, and fatigue may occur due to nutrient deficiencies, so you should take a multivitamin.
The Cochrane Review, one of the most critical critics of nutritional supplements' efficacy, published an unexpectedly interesting study in 2013. In a randomized clinical study, infertile couples who were given a daily multivitamin helped them conceive. In particular, the effect was better in men than in women. This is because sperm are more sensitive to heavy metals and environmental pollutants than eggs. Therefore, if you are a couple who can't conceive for no reason, I would recommend taking a multivitamin.
In addition, if you suffer from loss of appetite, picky eating, too busy to eat three meals a day, work overtime, or are overworked, you may want to take a multivitamin rich in B vitamins to reduce fatigue.
