The health of the human being is important to consider. Prior to 1960, the main focus of this field was on treatment and prevention of acute nutritional deficiency disorders, such as scurvy, Rickets, or the pellagra. There were 50 essential nutrients that were identified (vitamins and minerals, antioxidants as along with cofactors, essential amino acids and essential fatty acid). Recommended daily intakes for those essential nutrients were also created. These guidelines helped to eliminate acute deficiencies in nutrients.

Over the past few years, the focus has changed towards the importance of nutrition and diet in long-term health. Long-term health includes heart, bone, joints and eyes as well as the nervous system. Once you aim for extra resources on Cognizin, browse this site.
