Vita-Lea® Dietary Supplement
The Perfect Multi
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), every adult should
THE CHALLENGE
supplement their diet with a multivitamin to help maintain good health. Research also
shows that intake of some vitamins strengthens the immune system and helps promote
long-term health. Our diets are full of highly processed foods and deficient in important
vitamins and minerals. Less than 25% of adults eat the recommended five to nine servings
of fruits and vegetables per day.
Vita-Lea provides 23 essential nutrients in perfectly balanced amounts to promote
VITA-LEA
overall health and wellness and support long-term colon, heart, and eye health and also
helps strengthen the immune system. Vita-Lea has been clinically proven to be superior
to other leading multivitamins and contains:
• 2 times the antioxidant vitamins C and E for immune function support and
prevention of free radical damage†*

nerve function†
