A comprehensive mega dose multi-vitamin...

Product Description:

Comprehensive multi-vitamin and minerals, featuring mega-doses of many of the nutrients considered important for health.

Product Details:

This is a very comprehensive multi-vitamin containing mega-doses of many of the vitamins and minerals essential to health.  Compared to a standard multivitamin, this packs in large doses of water soluble vitamins, which cannot be stored in the body.  Examples include more than 1500% of your daily requirements for Vitamin C arguably, the most important water-soluble biological antioxidant. It can scavenge both reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species.  This is accompanied by other important anti-oxidants such as Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Carotenoid complex. There is emerging evidence that adequate vitamin K intake may help protect against osteoporosis posses anti-atherosclerotic effects.

B vitamin complex is an essential component of a multivitamin. It comprises 8 water-soluble vitamins which play crucial roles in cell metabolism, these are Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folate, Biotin and  Pantothenic Acid. Choline Bitartrate and Inositol are also included because they are intimately involved metabolic processes. Choline is needed for the synthesis of cell membrane phospholipids and for the synthesis of other compounds.  Inositol as the basis for a number of signalling and secondary messenger molecules, is involved in a number of biological processes.

A wide selection of minerals are also included. Potassium is an essential macromineral in human nutrition with a wide range of biochemical and physiological roles. Among other things, it is important in the transmission of nerve impulses, the contraction of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle, the production of energy.  Magnesium and Calcium are important in the regulation of blood pressure and a central to bone health.  Chromium, an essential trace mineral in human nutrition important is normal carbohydrate metabolism. Zinc is an essential element in human and animal nutrition with a wide range of biological roles.  Boron has been shown to affect several aspects of mineral metabolism in animal studies. Copper is a cofactor for Copper/Zinc superoxide dismutase and ceruloplasmin, two important antioxidant enzymes, and the possible antioxidant activity of Copper may be accounted for, at least in part, by its role in these enzymes.  Manganese is an essential nutrient acting as a cofactor in several metabolic and enzymatic reactions.

Trace elements such as Vanadium and Strontium, Molybdenum are included for completeness. Rose hip contains pectin, citric acid, and malic acid, which can have laxative and diuretic activities. Alpha-Lipoic Acid has biological antioxidant activity, antioxidant recycling activity and activity in enhancing biological energy production. It has demonstrated some antiatherogenic effects in both animal and human studies. There is the suggestion, mostly from animal data, that Taurine may improve glucose tolerance.

Suggested Use: 16-18 capsules per day
