With few exceptions the body cannot manufacture
or synthesize vitamins. They must be supplied in the diet or in
dietary supplements. Vitamins are essential to the normal functioning
of our bodies. They are necessary for our growth, vitality, and
general well-being.
Vitamins help regulate metabolism, help
convert fat and carbohydrates into energy, and assist in forming bone
and tissue. Many of the vitamins in this formula act as powerful
anitoxidants.
Antioxidants are important protectors of
health because they provide electrons that neutralize "free
radicals"--molecules with unpaired electrons which have the power
to cause cell damage.
Free radicals are produced from normal oxygen
metabolism within the body, and from exposure to certain chemicals,
environmental pollutants, sunlight, radiation, burns, cigarette smoke,
drugs, alcohol, viruses, bacteria, parasites, dietary fats, and more.
VITAMIN A
is necessary for growth of body tissues, boosts immunity, protects
against environmental stressers, helps support eyes, and aids in bone
and teeth formation.
VITAMIN C
is essential for healthy teeth, gums and bones. It helps build
immunity and aids in the absorption of iron. Vitamin C is a major
antioxidant.
VITAMIN E
is a another major anti-oxidant. It retards cellular aging due to
oxidation, supplies oxygen to the blood, and strengthens the capillary
walls.
VITAMIN D
improves absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, is
required for bone and teeth formation, and is essential in maintaining
a stable nervous system and normal heart action.
VITAMIN B1
(Thiamin) plays a key role in the body's metabolic cycle for
generating energy, aids in the digestion of carbohydrates, is
essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system, muscles
and heart, and promotes growth and good muscle tone.
VITAMIN B2
(Riboflavin) is necessary for carbohydrate, fat and protein
metabolism. It aids in immunity, maintains cell respiration, and is
necessary for the maintenance of good vision, skin, nails and hair.
VITAMIN B3
(Niacin) helps improve circulation. It helps maintain the nervous
system, helps metabolize protein, sugar and fat, increases energy
through proper utilization of food, and helps maintain a healthy skin,
tongue and digestive system.
VITAMIN B5
(Panothenic Acid) participates in the release of energy from
carbohydrates, fats and protein, improves the body's resistance to
stress, helps in cell building, helps the adrenal glands, and supports
immunity.
VITAMIN B6
is necessary for the synthesis and breakdown of amino acids, the
building blocks of protein. It also aids in fat and carbohydrate
metabolism, aids in immunity, helps maintain the central nervous
system, and promotes healthy skin.
FOLIC ACID
is necessary for DNA & RNA synthesis, which is essential for the
growth and reproduction of all body cells, essential to the formation
of red blood cells by its action on the bone marrow, and aids in amino
acid metabolism.
VITAMIN B12
helps in the formation and regeneration of red blood cells. It is
necessary for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, helps to
maintain a healthy nervous system, promotes growth in children, and
increases energy.
BORON may
influence the production of hormones (including the active form of
vitamin D), improve brain and psychological functions, and exert
immune-boosting activity. Boron is essential to bone metabolism and
the calcification of bones. It also is necessary for cartilage
formation and repair. It affects calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus
levels. Memory and brain function can be improved with boron. A
deficiency can cause fragile cell walls.
Flax seed oil
is extracted from organically grown flax seeds using a special
cold-pressing process, which minimizes the damaging effects of light,
oxygen and heat. Flax seed oil increases the body's production of
energy and also increases stamina, stimulates fat cells and increases
the metabolic rate making it easier to burn off fat. It also is known
to improve the absorption of calcium, strengthen finger and toe nails,
and it can often improve the function of the liver.
Grape seed and skin extract
supplies oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC), red wine extract. Grape
seed extract is a natural and powerful antioxidant. Red wine extract
supports healthy blood vessels and connective tissues.
Siberian Ginseng
is an herb used to fight fatigue and provides supplemental immune
support. It also provides energy through times of strenuous exercise
programs and supports and stimulates efficient adrenal function.
Yerba Mate
energizes the body, stimulates mental alertness, aids in weight loss,
cleanses the colon, relieves stress and fortifies the immune system.

BIOTIN
aids in the utilization of protein, folic acid, vitamin B5,
and Vitamin B-12, and promotes healthy hair. Biotin deficiency
may lead to exhaustion, drowsiness, and loss of appetite.
CALCIUM
builds and maintains bones and teeth, regulates heart rhythm,
supports the sleep cycle, helps regulate the passage of
nutrients in and out of the cell walls, assists in normal
blood clotting, helps maintain proper nerve and muscle
function.
MAGNESIUM
plays an important role in regulating the neuromuscular
activity of the heart. it also helps maintain normal heart
rhythm, is necessary for proper calcium and Vitamin C
metabolism, and converts blood sugar into energy. Deficiency
may result in calcium depletion, heart spasms, nervousness,
muscular excitability, and confusion.
PHOSPHORUS
is essential for utilization of carbohydrate, fats and
proteins for growth, maintenance, repair of cells, and energy
production. It is necessary for proper skeletal growth, tooth
development, kidney functioning and transference of nerve
impulses. Phosphorus works with calcium to develop and
maintain strong bones and teeth. It also enhances use of other
nutrients.
IODINE
aids in the development and functioning of the thyroid gland,
regulates the body's production of energy, helps burn excess
fat by stimulating the rate of metabolism. Iodine deficiency
may result in slow mental reaction, dry skin and hair, weight
gain, and loss of physical and mental vigor.
ZINC
is a powerful antioxidant that is necessary for protein
synthesis and is vital for the development of the reproductive
organs. It is vital for prostate functions and male hormone
activity, it governs the contractility of muscles, is
important for blood stability, maintains the body's alkaline
balance, helps in normal tissue function, and aids in the
digestion and metabolism of phosphorus. Zinc deficiency may
result in white spots on finger nails, fatigue, decreased
alertness, and a stressed immune system.
SELENIUM
is another major antioxidant which protects cell membranes and
prevents free radical generation.
COPPER
is necessary for the absorption and utilization of iron, helps
oxidize Vitamin C and works with vitamin C to form elastin,
aids in the formation of red blood cells, and helps proper
bone formation and maintenance. Deficiency may result in
general weakness.
MANGANESE
is another antioxidant. It is important in the blood breakdown
of amino acids and the production of energy, is necessary for
the metabolism of vitamin B-1 and vitamin E, is a catalyst in

TRACE MINERALS
are minerals that occur in tiny amounts or traces. They play a
major role in health since even minute portions of them can
powerfully affect health. They are essential in the
assimilation and utilization of vitamins and other nutrients.
They aid in digestion and provide the catalyst for many
hormones, enzymes and essential body functions and reactions.
Amino acids complex
are chemical substances used by the body to build the exact
type of protein it needs. There are two types: essential and
nonessential. While the body must get the essential amino
acids from foods, it can manufacture the nonessential amino
acids on its own if the diet is lacking in them. Of the
approximately 80 amino acids found in nature, only 20 are
necessary for proper human growth and function. Not only do
they help make neurotransmitters, they also help produce
hormones such as insulin, enzymes that activate bodily
functions, and certain types of body fluids. In addition, they
are essential for the repair and maintenance of organs,
glands, muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, hair, and nails. An
amino acid deficiency is usually caused by a diet that is low
in protein.
