Vitamin and Mineral Index


This index is designed to raise your awareness about the power that exists from taking appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals. For a personal vitamin and mineral plan PowerElevation.com recommends that you consult a doctor or registered dietician that is educated in preventative medicine. In addition please refer to the chart below which is referenced from the suggested reading material detailed at the bottom of the page. As you can see, with truly adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals you can prevent many diseases and cancers before they start. The RDI is for "Recommended Dietary Intake." The ODI is the "Optimal Daily Intake." The following are 6 reasons for the needs of the ODIs instead of the RDIs taken from the reference below.

  1. The RDIs are generally based on an amount that simply prevents overt deficiency diseases.
  2. The RDIs do not take into account preventive or therapeutic levels of nutrients.
  3. We cannot meet the RDIs even if we eat the perfect diet.
  4. Because of many factors, including loss of nutrients through shipping, storage, and processing, the foods available to us do not contain the amounts of vitamins and minerals they should contain.
  5. The vitamins and minerals in foods and supplements are never 100 percent absorbed.
  6. Owing to the constant bombardment of stress factors, from pollution to emotional stress, we require higher levels of vitamins and minerals than originally thought.
