Not enough vitamins can lead to an increased risk of chronic diseases. Learn how daily multivitamin supplementation can bridge your nutrition gap.

Vitamin Supplements Are Recommended for All Adults Journal of the American Medical Association Researchers have published a study recognizing the benefits of vitamins and recommending all adults take a multivitamin daily.1 The authors reviewed more than 30 years of articles to determine vitamins’ effect on chronic diseases. Evidence indicated that not getting enough vitamins can lead to an increased risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis. That’s why Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex is an essential daily component of the Cellular Nutrition® Program.

Green Tea Helps Protect Skin from Ultraviolet Radiation Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology Everyone should use a potent sunscreen and limit exposure to ultraviolet radiation. In addition to sunscreen, studies have shown that both the consumption and topical application of green-tea polyphenols can inhibit the cancer-producing or inflammatory impact of ultraviolet radiation.2 One study concluded that polyphenol extracts of green tea were effective topical agents to prevent the adverse effects of sunlight.3 Green tea is an important ingredient in several Herbalife products, including Herbal Concentrate and New Skin Activator® Line, which with regular use, may help resist the adverse effects of ultraviolet-induced oxidation.
