Non-essential, but extremely beneficial. There are no established daily intake requirements (yet), but scientists continue to uncover the many benefits of phytonutrientssuch as resveratrol, lutein, lycopene, citrus bioflavonoids, polyphenols, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These individual phytonutrients may target different health systems, and they may also complement each other to support the body in general wayslike protecting cells from oxidative stress that can increase with age, pollutants, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and even certain processes with the body itself. That's why health experts recommend eating a minimum of five daily servings of a wide variety of colorful, plant-based foodsto supply essential nutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates/fiber, vitamins, minerals) plus a spectrum of valuable phytonutrients.
Where most multivitamin/minerals fall short. Scientific opinion now suggests that a multi with only "essential" nutrients does not address the benefits of a daily intake of important phytonutrients. But merely adding a few plant extracts or phytonutrients at clinically insignificant levels may not be the answer either. But there is a brave new, scientifically tested combination of phytonutrients and essential nutrients that may just change everything.
