Sensory health refers to the optimal functioning of the sensory systems, which include vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Proper sensory health ensures that individuals can perceive and respond to stimuli from their environment accurately and effectively.

Supplementation can play a role in supporting sensory health. For example, choline is an essential nutrient that contributes significantly to sensory processing, cognitive functioning, memory, and learning¹. Adequate choline intake has been linked to improvements in sensory processing and the reduction of sensory deficits, particularly in conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)².

While multivitamin and mineral supplements generally do not significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases, they still may provide benefits for specific populations by improving metabolic biomarkers and nutritional status. For instance, supplementation has shown improvements in various metabolic markers such as glutathione levels and ATP production, which are crucial for proper cellular and sensory functions³⁴.
