Is there one nutrient that would be considered the most important nutrient for the human body to function properly and healthier than if the body is deprived of it? | |

The reality is Americans are deficient in general in many nutrients and each of those deficient nutrients can have a profound effect on your health. Everyone should strive for a nutrient dense whole food diet, but because our food systems are quite messed up and enviromental factors increase our need for certain nutrients I think everyone can benefit from a good multiple vitamin. It's important though to get a professional brand though as many of the over the counter multiples are quite inferior. Even better, get a full evaluation from a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and find out exactly what your body needs. We're all different! | |
