Comprehensive Women's multi-vitamin and minerals, providing a range of nutrients and nutraceuticals considered important for health.

Product Details:

This is a comprehensive multi-vitamin designed specially for the needs of women who need just that little extra boost of vitamins and minerals essential to health.  Compared with standard multivitamins, this exceptional formula contains added items known for their protective and supportive benefits.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a unique addition to this multivitamin because of its renowned potent biological antioxidant activity, antioxidant recycling ability and role in enhancing energy production. It has demonstrated some anti-atherogenic effects in both animal and human studies and demonstrated the unique ability to get into cell membrane spaces where other traditional antioxidants such as Vitamin C and E cannot reach. Furthermore 2000mg of Spirulina is packed into this multivitamin as an exceptional source of chlorophyll, carotenoids, minerals, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and some unique pigments. These pigments, called phycobilins and some of its other constituents have shown an ability to favorably affect various immune functions such as boosting white blood cell phagocytic activity and increasing natural killer (NK)-cell activity. Furthermore, the Women's Basic+ contains high levels of Vitamin D3, not typically found in traditional one-a-day multivitamin to provide anti-cancer resilience.

This multivitamin also contains a good dose of water soluble vitamins, which cannot be stored in the body.  This includes Vitamin C which is arguably, the most important water-soluble biological antioxidant. It can scavenge both reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species and helps support the activity of other important anti-oxidants such as Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Carotenoid complex. 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 part of this mix because they are intimately involved metabolic processes.

A wide selection of minerals is 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.  A small amount of Chromium is included to assist in normal carbohydrate metabolism, while Zinc provides that essential element critical to a wide range of biological roles including female hormonal health. Trace amounts of minerals such as Boron, Copper and Manganese is included to provide co-factor support for the other minerals.

Finally the Women's Basic+ provides added protection for female hormonal and vision health with the inclusion of Soy Isoflavones and Lutein to impart added antioxidant support for those vital systems.
