NEW YORK, April 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There is a nutritional gap in America, a disconnect between what our bodies are getting and what our bodies actually need. A recent study suggests that 60% of Americans report they have a healthy diet and yet 94% of Americans fall short of dietary recommendations. Recently, Dr. Tieraona Low Dog, Health Expert and Author of National Geographics Fortify Your Life: Your Guide to Vitamins, Minerals and More, teamed with YourUpdateTV to discuss this troubling nutritional gap and what we can do to close it.

When it comes to eating well, Americans may have good intentions, but the truth is that many of us fall short of an ideal diet. It is extremely difficult to get all the nutrients we need on diet alone, even when we do our best to eat well. More than two thirds (67%) of adults believe they can get all of their nutrients by eating a healthy diet, which simply may not be realistic.

Despite this challenge, many adults are not taking advantage of multivitamins which can go a long way towards closing the nutritional gap. In an effort to address this significant nutrition and awareness gap, MegaFood is asking Americans to make 2017 the best year yet by pledging to improve their own life by taking a multivitamin and help support someone in need with a 1-for-1 pledge and product donation.

The MegaPledge campaign is a first step towards curing nutritional poverty, shedding light on the fact that most Americans are just not getting what they need in terms of nutrition. Additionally, MegaFood is teaming up with Wholesome Wave, a non-profit organization that will donate two servings of fruits and veggies to someone in need for each pledge made.

Formulated by Dr. Low Dog, each MegaFood multivitamin offers 70% or more of the suggested Daily Value intake of key nutrients in just two tablets, and features the active form of B6, methylated B12 and folate, vitamins K1 and K2, and choline based on her recommendations for optimal dietary supplementation.
