Multivitamin

Why this matters

Travel, irregular schedules, and long work days all compromise dietary quality. Airport food and hotel dining are calorie-adequate and micronutrient-poor.

The effects of micronutrient insufficiency are gradual: slightly lower energy, slightly slower recovery, slightly reduced immune response.
Accumulated over weeks, this has real consequences.

What happens in the body

B vitamins are cofactors in energy metabolism and neurotransmitter production. They are water-soluble and depleted quickly under stress, they must be supplied daily.

Vitamin D supports immune regulation and mood. Most people who travel frequently or work primarily indoors produce very little. Zinc supports immune function, protein synthesis, and cognitive performance. It is not stored and must be regularly supplied.

A multivitamin does not optimise. It maintains the baseline. Taking it daily with food, specially fat-soluble vitamins, supports absorption.

When this becomes relevant

During travel when meals are outside your control. During high-pressure periods when meals are skipped or rushed. As a consistent daily baseline whenever reliable nutrition is structurally difficult.
