Why this website was created and what it is based on.

People know about the essential role vitamins, minerals, and amino acids play in body functioning for a long time. At that, until recently, the primary approach to the problem was to swallow some multivitamins or protein powder down – the more potent stuff the better – and think everything is settled for the day. Look at some popular multivitamin and mineral supplements – the dosage is biologically enormous, being hundreds of percents more than standard nutrient requirements suggests.

However, as current studies confirm, this approach is counterproductive. The redundancy results in cells closing down a big number of 'windows' that let these nutrients in, harming other cell functions along the way. In other words, it is better not to consume more of those essential substances than you really need. On the other hand, consuming less is not the best option since it may also endanger your health.

The modern approach is to eat various natural food, satisfying all essential nutrient needs this way. But what amount of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other vital nutrients do we take with food? And how much of these should we take for that matter? It is vital information, because there might be some deficiency we should cover with supplements, or some surplus that may require from us to exclude something from our diet.

Luckily, there are respected sources providing detailed data on the content of your food and information about how much of different vital substances you should consume. At the same time, I can tell, it is incredibly tiresome to manually calculate all your intake and requirements on a daily basis and compare those numbers against each other. And here comes vitapro.fit, the website that can help you do it easily and quickly. It is the initial reason why the website was created, but there is much more to it now. It is not only about your daily intake anymore. Now it is the tool helping you to estimate your intake historically, discover long term trends and find correlations between your intake and your health.
