According to research on human evolution, over thousands of years, our bodies lost the ability to create many nutrients on its own due to getting said vitamins and minerals through food sources. Therefore, our bodies need to get many essential nutrients by eating and metabolizing. Seems simple right? Unfortunately, 92% of today’s Americans are nutrient deficient, meaning we are not getting the right amounts of essential vitamins and minerals through our diets. This can create health issues over the long term that could easily have been avoided.
The easiest, quickest way to solve this issue of vitamin deficit is by taking a quality multivitamin without any harmful additives or chemicals for optimal absorption. There are plenty of benefits to taking a multivitamin, because on average they contain over thirty vitamins and minerals your body needs.
However, it’s not as simple as just adding a vitamin to your day and forgetting about it! There are factors to consider before starting a vitamin regimen, such as when to take supplements and groups of people who are especially at risk for nutrition deficiency.
Best Time of Day to Take a Multivitamin
The time of day you take your vitamin supplements can affect your body’s ability to absorb the nutrients. Many nutritionists agree that taking a supplement in the morning hours is best for absorption. It’s believed that if you take your supplement at night before bedtime, your body won’t be able to digest as efficiently because digestion slows down considerably during evening/night hours and during sleep.
Make it a habit to keep your supplements next to your bed, or in your bathroom. That way, as you go about your morning routine, you won’t forget to take it. Bonus? EZ Melts vitamins don’t require swallowing or chewing pills, so it’s even easier to take them anywhere!
There are also certain populations who should especially make it a priority to find a good multivitamin to support their health. These populations include anyone who is vegan, over 50, postmenopausal women, those who are pregnant, as well as small children. Make sure to consult a doctor about what amount and type of supplement is right for you and your family before starting any new regimen.
How to Choose a Multivitamin
When talking about multivitamins specifically, look at the vitamins and minerals listed. Do they stack up to the list mentioned at the beginning of this post? A lot of brands won’t include everything they should in a supplement. Also, make sure that you are taking ONLY the recommended dosage. When taking supplements, especially those with minerals, it is easy to take too much.
There is a growing shift away from chemical and artificial ingredients in the nutraceutical industry, and EZ Melts is proud to be a part of that movement. We ensure that our vitamins are non-GMO, vegan, gluten free, and free of harmful chemical additives and sweeteners!
The EZ Melts Difference
It’s important to have a daily routine of feeding your body the nutrients it needs. And of course, if you are having health issues related to poor nutrition, consult with a doctor and pair a multivitamin with a healthier, well-rounded diet for the best possible results. A multivitamin alone won’t prevent some health conditions resulting from poor diet, however, supplements are the easiest and quickest way of ensuring you support a healthy lifestyle.

Many vitamin supplements are solid and have a ton of chemical additives, which can cause stomach upset, so quality matters. Make sure you are choosing a brand that cares about what they put into their supplements as much as you care about what goes into your body.
