Here’s one way you get a good return on your multivitamin investment

You’ve probably heard multivitamins referred to as “insurance.” Here’s one way your multi insurance might pay off in later years…

Vitamin deficiency is common among the elderly. And when you have general deficiency, you’re likely to be zinc deficient too.

In fact, nearly half of older patients admitted to intensive care are zinc deficient.

This is a critical detail. New research shows that zinc helps regulate the immune response in sepsis. Sepsis occurs in response to infection. It’s often the cause of ICU deaths. Especially in elderly patients.

So if you enter ICU with a sufficient zinc level, you improve your chances of exiting on your own two feet.

That’s a good return on your multi insurance investment.
