Nicovite
The vitamin specifically formulated for smokers
Most people take daily multivitamins for general well being and to
improve overall health. Unfortunately,
for smokers it's not that easy. Standard multivitamins are designed for
the needs of non-smokers. In fact,
standard multivitamins contain ingredients that can actually be harmful
when taken by smokers.
In addition, it is well known that smoking causes stress to the body.
Unfortunately standard multivitamins are not formulated to contain
additional nutrients for smokers' needs.
Nicovite is unique. Nicovite is formulated with the smoker in mind.
For safety, Nicovite takes out the ingredients that have been shown to
be harmful to smokers. For
potency, Nicovite is formulated with powerful antioxidants specifically
for the needs of smokers.
The ultimate goal is to stop smoking. In the meantime, take the
multivitamin made specifically for you,
Nicovite.
Give your body the antioxidant potency it deserves, Nicovite.
Are Smokers Different From Non-Smokers?
In a word, yes. It is well documented that
smoking puts the body under significant stress. At
a cellular level, stress is in the form of harmful
oxidants. Oxidants or “free radicals” can
damage cells and lead to numerous diseases
such as cancer, heart disease, and emphysema.
In fact, every puff on a cigarette releases as
many as 100 TRILLION harmful oxidants into the
body.
In order to neutralize these effects, the body relies
on substances that can counteract free radicals
known as antioxidants. Antioxidants are found in
large quantities in fruits and vegetables. Since
smoking causes high amounts of oxidative stress,
it is agreed that smokers need large amounts of
anti-oxidants. Unfortunately people who smoke
typically have diets low in fruits and vegetables.
In fact, intake of helpful antioxidants is lower in
smokers than non-smokers. To make matters
worse, smoking also causes vitamin deficiencies
giving smokers even less chance to battle free
radical damage.*
So unlike non-smokers, smokers nutritionally have
several things working against them. First,
smoking causes significant oxidative stress on the
cells. Second, smoking causes vitamin
deficiencies. Lastly, smokers generally have diets
low in antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables.
What's Wrong With Standard
Multi-Vitamins Like Centrum® or
One-A-Day® ?
If you’re a non-smoker, there is nothing wrong with a
standard multivitamin. In fact, standard multivitamins
are formulated for non-smokers. They base the
ingredient formulation on recommended daily
allowances for the general population. However if
you smoke, not only are they NOT formulated for your
specific needs, but they might even be harmful.
Standard multivitamins contain an ingredient called
Beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is converted in the
body to Vitamin A. In non-smokers Beta-carotene in
vitamin supplements has numerous beneficial effects.
However if you smoke, Beta-carotene in vitamin
supplements has been linked to an increase in lung
cancer. It is important for smokers not to take vitamin
supplements with Beta-carotene.*
In addition, as discussed previously, smokers have
different nutritional demands than non-smokers. There have been numerous nutrients successfully
studied in smokers. Standard multivitamins do not
contain these nutrients in their ingredients nor
should they. Remember, standard multivitamins
are made for non-smokers not smokers.
The unique nutritional demands of smoking requires
a multivitamin tailored to meet a smoker’s specific
needs.
Beta-Carotene
In a landmark six year vitamin supplementation study in smokers,
researchers discovered some surprising facts about Beta-carotene. Natural Beta-carotene is a substance in plants that the
body converts into Vitamin A. It acts as an antioxidant and an immune
system booster. In the
study, researchers gave smokers synthetic Beta-carotene, an ingredient
found in most
multivitamins, to see if smokers could benefit.
Unfortunately, synthetic Beta-carotene actually had a reverse effect.
It significantly increased the
risk of lung cancer and death when taken by smokers. These findings have
significant implications
for the millions of smokers who take daily multivitamins.*
