My Balance Once Daily Multi-Vitamin.

In order for our body to function properly without abnormalities, vitamins and minerals are necessary. Otherwise called nutrients, these vitamins and minerals carry out a host of functions in the human body, ranging from supporting normal cell growth, boosting immunity, ensuring the proper functioning of our various organs, supporting hormone production, and numerous other functions. In fact, deficiency of some of these nutrients in the body could have dire consequences.

For this reason, we must always keep our body nourished with all the required vitamins and minerals. Thankfully, we get most of these nutrients from our foods. However, a significant amount of these nutrients are not derived in the required amounts from these foods, especially these days where refined foods form a major part of our diet. It is for this reason that the idea of multivitamin supplements came into existence. With multivitamins, you are guaranteed to get all the required amount of vitamins and minerals your body needs to function properly in a single capsule.

My Balance’s Once Daily multivitamin contains more than 18 vitamins and minerals that are proven to improve your overall wellbeing. This is in addition to containing other natural plant extracts such as lycopene, stinging nettle, saw palmetto, echinacea extract, spirulina, green tea, cinnamon bark, grape seed extract, pomegranate fruit extract, and numerous other great plant extracts.
