Uni-vite Research Reveals Need for Additional Vitamin Supplements in Addition to Balanced Diet

Online, July 24, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Uni-vite Healthcare release research results appertaining to the health benefits that Nutrishield can bring in addition to the recommended vitamins and minerals.

Dr Paul Clayton, former Chair of the Forum on Health at the royal Society of Medicine says: " A vitamin and mineral supplement has a value - but it doesn't, on its own, address the main cause of the age related diseases, like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, or dementia. We now know that the key driver of almost all these diseases - and even aging itself - is inflammation within the body. It's an unseen but deadly threat. And the way to counter this is through a diet that's high in anti-inflammatory foods and a supplement that includes anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant ingredients."

Current medical opinion holds that almost all the chronic degenerative age-related diseases, from coronary artery disease to cancer, from hypertension to arthritis and from diabetes and stroke to the dementias, have one key driver in common; chronic, sub-clinical inflammation in the body.

Sub-clinical generally means that the inflammatory process is not noticeable. And that's the problem. Because it's an unseen, unfelt, silent threat, the idea that internal inflammation is a fundamental cause of all the age-related diseases, as well as the thinning and wrinkling of skin, is only just surfacing in public consciousness.

Colin Rose, Chairman of Uni-Vite Healthcare Ltd outlines the benefits and real need for additional supplements in addition to a balanced diet saying, "Many people take a nutritional supplement. But by the time you get to about 45 you are beginning to accumulate cell damage and the sort of internal inflammation that causes long-term degenerative disease. So we believe that's the age to start taking serious protective action with a comprehensive supplement. The good news is that better internal health will show up on the outside as better skin tone and general vitality."

Uni-Vite Healthcare Ltd has been supplying NutriShield direct to public for over 8 years and ships to individual customers in over 15 countries worldwide. Uni-Vite Healthcare also offers ImmunoShield - a natural supplement that boosts the immune system. Its prime ingredient has received over $10 million in research funding.
