If you are a person who is affected by sudden temperature changes, are prone to colds or secretions, or generally feel that your immune system is not strengthened, you have surely thought about taking extra vitamins and minerals in your diet. But, what type of multivitamin is best? What measures can I take?

In that sense, maintaining a proper diet, prioritizing fresh foods, is essential to prevent these types of situations. Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits with a wide variety of colors will guarantee an adequate intake of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for the immune system.

If we add to this the current trends of reducing the consumption of animal protein without prior training on vegetarianism, a person may experience deficiencies of some vitamins, especially those in group B.

Reducing the consumption of animal protein by prioritizing plant-based alternatives is a more than appropriate decision for your health and the health of the planet. But keep in mind that vitamin B12, in particular, is found in animal products such as meat, eggs, and dairy.

Therefore, it is advisable to take multivitamins during periods when we are more prone to illness. They ensure a complete supply of the vitamins and minerals that our immune system needs. There are multiple multivitamins, so it is normal to ask ourselves: What type of multivitamin is best? As always, it all depends on your diet, your goal, and your daily physical exertion.

Multivitamins we have at Weider:

Green Vitamin Complex is a supplement specially designed by Weider to provide the right dose of vitamins and minerals, especially if you have decided to reduce your consumption of animal-derived protein. Green Vitamin Complex contains the revolutionary Spectra Complex, the first scientifically validated formula based on fruits, vegetables, and herbal extracts that inhibit the production of free radicals, optimizes the metabolic activity of cells, and increases the production of nitric oxide in our body by 64%.
