Why The Daily 4 is Essential

Our body needs a bunch of essential vitamins and minerals every day. The best way to get these is through a well-balanced diet, including lots of fruits, vegetables, lean protein and whole grains. However, many factors can make that difficult. That's why multivitamins may be helpful; they can provide you with a solid foundation of essential vitamins and minerals to help bridge possible nutrient gaps arising from your diet and serves as the foundation of a well-rounded supplement routine.

One essential mineral is Magnesium, which plays a vital role in our bodies, particularly in muscle relaxation and bone health. By providing our bodies with Magnesium in our bloodstream, it binds with receptors in our muscles to allow them to relax. Magnesium is also densely found in our bone structure, supporting bone density.[1]

Omega-3 Fatty Acids DHA and EPA are another cornerstone of The Daily 4 supplement routine. These long-chain fatty acids, found primarily in fish oils, help support a healthy heart, brain and eyes. Check out why Omega-3s are so good for your wellness routine.

Probiotics ("good bacteria") are beneficial to maintaining gut health. You can find probiotics in fermented foods like yogurt and kimchi; these beneficial bacteria support gut balance by working with the pre-existing bacteria in your gut to support healthy digestion.

Multivitamins: The Building Blocks of Routine

Multivitamins combine a wide range of vitamins and minerals into a convenient package, but did you know that both vitamins and minerals are split into different types? Vitamins are subdivided into two basic types: water-soluble and fat-soluble. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water, so they should be taken with water to enhance the body's absorption of nutrients. Fat-soluble vitamins require fat to be absorbed into the body so they should be taken with a meal that contains dietary fat like butter, avocado or vegetable oil; this can be avocado toast in the morning, roasted veggies with olive oil at night, or anything else including these tasty ingredients. Generally, multivitamins should be taken with water and a meal, because they include water and fat-soluble vitamins.

Though they are called multi-“vitamins,” multis don't only contain vitamins, they're also a source of essential minerals. There are two kinds of essential minerals: major minerals and trace minerals. Major and trace minerals are absorbed similarly, but the body requires more significant amounts of major minerals and smaller amounts of trace minerals.

Multivitamins provide a valuable base for your supplement routine by providing a wide range of these essential vitamins and minerals, helping to close possible nutrient gaps in your diet. For example, Nature Made® Advanced Multivitamin Gummies for Adults include water-soluble vitamins Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Biotin, and Pantothenic Acid, along with fat-soluble vitamins Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K. It also includes major minerals Calcium, Sodium and Magnesium, and trace minerals Iodine, Zinc, Selenium, Manganese, Chromium and Molybdenum.

Advanced Multivitamin Gummies for Adults provide several benefits; they support your muscle relaxation and nerve, heart, and bone health with High Absorption Magnesium Citrate, along with Calcium to support strong bones. They are also a source of all 8 B Vitamins to support brain function. Vitamins C and D3 support your immune function. Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is a skin health nutrient that supports healthy hair and skin as you age. These tasty gummies pack all of those nutrients into a convenient package.

By helping bridge possible nutrient gaps, multivitamins are an essential base for The Daily 4 supplement routine to support overall well-being.

Magnesium: Your Body's Relaxation Buddy

Magnesium is a major mineral, which means your body needs it every day. That's why The Daily 4 complete wellness pack includes additional Magnesium beyond what's provided in the multivitamin. Nature Made® High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Capsules provide 200 mg of Magnesium per serving in a form that is gentle on the stomach. Magnesium plays an essential role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including supporting muscle relaxation and heart, nerve, and bone health. Magnesium Glycinate is a highly bioavailable form of Magnesium, meaning your body absorbs it better.

Omega-3s: Nourish Your Body from Within

Fish Oils that contain EPA and DHA have become ubiquitous for every heart-health-conscious person in the last decade. These long-chain fatty acids concentrate in fatty fish such as salmon and help support a healthy brain and healthy eyes. Nature Made® Extra Strength Omega-3†† From Fish Oil Minis Softgels provide 1000 mg of heart-healthy Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Omega-3 Fatty Acids also play an important role in brain function, contributing to changing membrane fluidity and increasing neurotransmitter release.[2] Our heart, brain, and eyes are all important to our overall well-being; that's why Omega-3s form another quadrant of The Daily 4.

Probiotics: Cultivate a Healthy Gut

Our microbiome is incredibly complex and filled with both beneficial and harmful bacteria.

Our bodies are complex, interlinked systems that cannot be neatly subdivided, so a supplement routine should match that. The Daily 4 provides four supplements that work together to support overall health, with a multivitamin to help bridge nutrient gaps, Magnesium to support your body's relaxation, heart-healthy Omega-3s for our heart, brain, and eyes, and probiotics to lend our gut microbiome a helping hand. The Daily 4 supplements work together to support overall health by supporting each of these four bases.

Supplements should be taken with water and a meal; try attaching your supplement routine to breakfast or dinner to help you keep a more regular schedule. Always consult with your primary care provider before exploring a new supplement routine.
