Ingredients In Plexus X-Factor Multi-Vitamin And How They Work: What are vitamins & minerals? Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential in very small amounts for supporting normal physiologic function. We need vitamins in our diets because our bodies can’t synthesize them quickly enough to meet our daily needs. Vitamins have three characteristics: * They’re natural components of foods; usually present in very small amounts. * They’re essential for normal physiologic function (e.g., growth, reproduction, etc) * When absent from the diet, they will cause a specific deficiency. Most minerals are considered essential and comprise a vast set of micronutrients. Mineral deficiencies can create or exacerbate chronic health conditions. X-Factor Multi-Vitamin Description: You know that consuming a vitamin-mineral multi supplement is a good thing. With our poor diets and all the other threats to our health, it’s critical to have a high-quality food source of vital nutrients. But did you know that even if you’re taking a multi-vitamin product, you’re probably not getting nearly the level of superior-quality nutrients you thought you were? In fact, studies suggest that the majority of multi-vitamin products are of poor quality and difficult for the body’s digestive tract to break down, digest and absorb. But there’s great news! Plexus, a world-recognized leader in the health and nutritional industries, has developed a breakthrough in vitamin-mineral supplements.
