Quest Super Once A Day Timed Release Multivitamin

Most of us would benefit from taking a good multivitamin; that's a sad fact. Sad because we don't live in an ideal world where all our food is local, home grown in rich soil; or caught, and fresh as it can come. If we could get good wholesome nutrients in the right strength and quantity in all our diet, end of story; consume food which isn't refined or processed to death, enough said. But most of us can't, and we don't.

We need protein and carbohydrates, essential fats and vitamins and minerals. Mustn't forget all our plant foods, including vegetables, fruits, beans, pulses, fish and nuts. But it's all a tired story. The past has gone and there's no returning to those days where the population was less and communities thrived alonside a local economy benefiting from local shops and produce....Yes, we could all benefit from good multivitamins.

Quest Super Once A Day is a good multivitamin. Quest timed release tablets are designed to release nutrients more slowly than standard release tablets. This makes the most of the time available for the water-soluble nutrients to be absorbed. It's always good to take timed release supplements with a main meal to help digest the tablet and help the absorption of its nutrients. This type of supplement is best taken by those with a healthy digestive system.

Why Timed Release?

Standard release multivitamins are simple in structure and are designed to break down in the stomach where the disintegrated particles are then taken into the small intestine where the nutrients are quickly absorbed. The speed of absorbtion means that the active ingredients are delivered to the body within a short period of time, within thirty minutes, and if your lifestyle or condition demands fast absorbtion, then standard release are great. Sometimes, however, a slower digesting multivitamin can be useful. Quest timed release tablets are designed to release nutrients more slowly than standard release supplements. This makes the most of the time available for the water-soluble nutrients to be absorbed, actually up to six hours.

Who needs them?

Quest tells us, "Timed release supplements are ideal for healthy people, or those a little under the weather, in order to maintain good health. Timed Release tablets may be taken by students, business people, athletes, people living stressful lifestyles and shift workers. Timed release supplements are ideal for long-term preventative use."

On the other hand, if you're not part of the above groups, does it mean you shouldn't use timed release multivitamins? Not at all; however Quest go on to say that, "Standard Release supplements are ideal for everyone, especially teenagers, the elderly, people who are ill, convalescing or those with impaired digestion.

If you are feeling unwell, elderly, pregnant then definitely you will benefit from the quicker release of nutrients.

How Does Timed Release Multivitamins work?
The importance of timed release multivitamins technology lies with the water soluble vitamins which cannot be stored by the body. In standard multivitamins excess vitamins and minerals which aren't needed are discharged by the body. But with timed release, as normal digestion occurs, the tablet is eroded by the enzymes of the digestive tract, and the nutrients bound in the timed release matrix are slowly released. This allows time for the maximum absorption of the nutrients in the digestive tract and therefore their efficient use.

You will also notice a discolouration of your urine after taking any good multivitamin, standard or timed release. Should I continue using it? This is a perfectly harmless consequence of using higher strength supplements. The nutrient responsible for causing this effect is Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) which is naturally bright yellow in colour. This discolouration could also be used in a positive way as this shows that the nutrients in the tablets are being absorbed and utilised efficiently. I also take stock of the darkness of the discolouration. It should be nice and bright, which if it isn't, take it as read that you're probably dehydrated. So drink some water or herbal tea!
