Choosing a Multivitamin: 

Age is change in your body, over time. 

You can change the pattern of your aging by providing vital nutrients to your cells. Optimize your health by understanding your cellular nutritional needs. Adding Vitamins and antioxidants with accurate and precise concentrations to your daily diet can help prevent the oxidation caused by free radicals to cellular components. 

A leading theory of aging today is based on the production of free radicals inside mitochondria. Packed with Vitamins and natural nutrients Advanced Multivitamin is essential for the optimal function of metabolic pathways in every cell in the body. 

What are Free Radicals? 

Free Radicals are chemicals produced in the body daily. They have one or more unpaired electrons. Unpaired electrons are not stable, and are highly reactive. Unstable free radicals attack stable cellular components, to gain an electron causing damage to lipids, proteins and DNA inside the cells and generating new free radicals. 

 

In addition to normal body production, environmental factors such as radiation, pollution, cigarette smoking, and high fat diets generate free radicals. 

Antioxidants are the major part of this defense system. These systems are not always 100 percent effective. In fact, they become less effective with age. Dietary antioxidants defend the body against oxidative stress, but when antioxidants are unavailable, or when free radical production becomes excessive, health problems may develop.

Take your Advance Multivitamin daily and nourish your cells to become healthier.

Advanced Multi-Vitamin Serving Size 3 Capsules: Vitamin A (as Beta Carotene, Acetate) Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin and requires to be in companion of some fat in food for absorption. Therefore, it is recommend to take Advanced Multi-Vitamin with food. Vitamin A is effective in protein synthesis and cell differentiation and thereby maintaining the health of Skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is essential for healthy eyes and to promote vision, especially night vision. Vitamin A and its precursor, beta-carotene a plant pigment that is converted to Vitamin A in the gastro-intestinal tract, continue to intrigue researchers with their diverse roles and profound effects on the health of the cells in the body. Vitamin A and beta-carotene are potent antioxidants. They are required for the proper growth and maintenance of youthful skin, bones and reproductive organs. They increase the activity of the immune system and help protect cells from the damaging effects of carcinogens. It has been shown that they are effective in blocking the initiation and promotion of cancer cells. Vitamin A is stored in the liver. Carotenoids, may help prevent macular degeneration, by protecting the macular region of the human retina from damaging free radicals. Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate) Vitamin C is water soluble. Ascorbyl Palmitate is the fat-soluble form of Vitamin C, which penetrates into the cells more effectively. Vitamin C, is a strong antioxidant, and acts as a guard to protect the cells against free radicals. Numerous studies support the use of vitamin C in preventing various types of cancer. Vitamin C enhances the generation of Collagen, the most important factor to maintain a healthy and youthful skin. Collagen also serves as the matrix on which bones and teeth are formed. Cells are held together largely by Collagen. This is especially important in the artery and thin capillary walls which must expand and contract with each heart beat. Vitamin C inhibits Collagen digestive enzymes from destroying the collagen in between the cells. Recent studies have shown the effect of Vitamin C in clearing atheroschelerotic lesions in blood vessels. The effect of Vitamin C in physical stress such as infection, wound healing, and exposure to cold is well known. Vitamin C enhances resistance to infection. Some research suggests that Vitamin C may help prevent Cataracts. Vitamin D (as Cholecalciferol) Our bodies can synthesize Vitamin D with the help of sunlight from a precursor that the body makes from Cholesterol. Even though it has been known as a Vitamin, Vitamin D is really a hormone. Its main effects are known to be on the intestines, the kidneys and the bones, and even though it can be made in the body, Vitamin D deficiency will cause Rickets, Osteomalacia, and Osteoporosis. Vitamin D together with Vitamin A, C, K , parathyroid hormone and collagen, support the constant breakdown, rebuilding and maintaining the bones. Vitamin D raises the absorption of calcium and phosphorous through the gastro-intestinal tract, and stimulates the retention of calcium by the kidneys. Recent studies suggest that vitamin D may protect against multiple sclerosis, autoimmune arthritis, and type-1 diabetes as well as breast, colon and prostate cancers. Vitamin D is fat-soluble. Vitamin E (as d-alpha Tocopheryl Succinate) A potent antioxidant, Vitamin E is fat soluble. Vitamin E protects the lipids and other vulnerable components of the cell and their membranes from destruction by oxidation. Vitamin E acts synergistically with the mineral Selenium, protecting cell membranes against oxidative damage. Accumulating evidence suggests that Vitamin E may reduce the risk of heart disease by protecting LDL against oxidation. Oxidized LDL has been known to be a major factor in the development of coronary artery diseases. Vitamin E was originally found to be necessary for reproduction and improves physical and sexual performance. Vitamin E may normalize the activity of the ovaries in women hence improving periods and preventing excessive bleeding and vaginal dryness and may help relieve menopausal symptoms. Thiamine (Vitamin B-1) (as Thiamine HCl) The B Vitamins, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid and Biotin, form part of a Co-enzyme system that enable enzymes to release energy from fat, proteins and carbohydrates in all body cells. Thiamine promotes normal growth and helps in digestion. Besides playing a vital role in energy metabolism of all cells, B-1 occupies a special site on the membrane of nerve cells. Processes in nerves, transmission of certain signals between the brain and the spinal cord, and their responding tissues depend heavily on Thiamin. Vitamin B-1 is used in treatment of drug and alcohol addictions. Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2) (with 5 mg Riboflavin-5-Phosphate coenzyme) Riboflavin facilitates the release of energy from nutrients similar to Thiamine. Athletes may have an increased requirement for Riboflavin, since physical exercise increases the body’s need for Vitamin B-2. B-2 is an antioxidant and helps the functions of the cardiovascular and the nervous systems. It is necessary for good vision, healthy skin, hair and nails. It may help prevent or slow the development of cataracts, and reduce the frequency of migraines. Niacin (Vitamin B-3) (as Niacinamide, niacin) The two coenzyme forms of Niacin, NAD and NADP are central in energy transactions. NAD carries hydrogens during metabolic reactions. B-3 can be synthesized in the body from the essential Aminoacid, Tryptophan, which is found in the white meat of turkey and chicken. B-3 helps to maintain a healthy nervous and digestive system and promotes healthy skin. Niacin plays a role in the production of sex hormones. Niacin can produce a tingling sensation known as the “Niacinflush”. The Niacinamide form does not produce this effect. Vitamin B-6 (as Pyridoxine HCl with 5 mg Pyridoxil-5-Phosphate Coenzyme) One of the most important nutrients, because of the ability to transfer Methyl groups, this Vitamin is valuable in protein and urea metabolism, as well as production of Serotonin, synthesis of Heme ( the non-protein portion of hemoglobin), DNA and RNA. B6 influences cognitive performance, immune function and steroid hormone activity. Folic Acid In addition to Antioxidants, one of the major findings in recent years has been the effects of “Methyl” donors. The body’s Methylation process depends on adequate levels of methyl donors to create Methionine. What do “Methyl” donors do? According to researchers, Methyl donors avoid heart disease and cancer. They slow the process of aging and are a natural antidepressant. In order to create energy, Methylation, continuously and naturally occurs in the body. Vitamin B-12 and B-6 together with folic acid are required for the process. Folic Acid is used in the synthesis of DNA and RNA and red blood cells. In the absence of Vitamin B complex and Folic Acid, Methylation slows down or becomes incomplete, causing an elevation in Homocysteine, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, cancer, neural tube defect, low birth weight, liver disorders, kidney disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, depression and other psychiatric disorders, complications of diabetes, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive decline, Parkinson’s disease and impotence. Research published in 2002 showed that people with the highest blood level of homocysteine were nearly twice as likely to develop dementia or Alzheimers disease as those with lowest levels. Other research published in 2002 found that people with the highest intake of dietary folic acid were 21% less likely to have a stroke and 40% less likely to develop colorectal cancer. The best way to suppress Homocysteine is by taking Folic Acid. When a Methyl group is attached to harmful homocysteine it will convert it methionine. Methionine combines with ATP to create many of the proteins, needed for healthy cells. People who eat foods that are high in methionine, such as red meat and chicken, may need more Vitamin B complex and Folic Acid. Elevation of homocysteine can occur in the blood due to conversion of methionine to homocysteine in the absence of Folic Acid and B12 and B6. Methylation has important effects on embryonic development, generating healthier and smarter children. It is particularly important for women who are trying to conceive and who are in the first trimester of pregnancy (first 3 months) to consume enough folic acid. Folic Acid has been known to prevent neural tube defect. Consult your Physician before and during pregnancy, about Folic Acid. Vitamin B-12 (as Methylcobalamin) B-12 and Folic Acid work together. B-12 activates Folic Acid to donate its methyl group. Together they reduce homocysteine, high levels of which are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Vitamin B-12 is required for the production of red and white cells in the blood and blood platelets. Methylcobalamin is the neurologic active form of Vitamin B-12 and may be effective in prevention of neurological disorders and certain sleep disorders. Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid help protect DNA against genetic damage. Biotin Biotin works synergistically with the B Vitamins and serves a critical role in metabolism of fatty acids and aminoacids. Biotin is needed to maintain healthy hair, nails, skin, sweat glands, bone marrow, normal bone growth, and nervous system. Biotin deficiency will cause dermatitis, hair loss, loss of appetite, nausea, high blood cholesterol, hallucinations, depression and muscle pain. Pantothenic Acid ( as d-calcium Pantothenate) Pantothenic Acid is involved in synthesis of lipids, neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, Cholesterol and hemoglobin. Pentothenic deficiency has been related to skin disorders such as eczema. Calcium (as d-Calcium Pantothenate) Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. It is an integral part of the bone structure and the teeth. Calcium balance is one of body’s highest priorities and involves a system of hormones and Vitamin D. Calcium in bones provides a bank of calcium for the blood. Blood borrows and returns Calcium as needed. Blood calcium remains normal as bone calcium diminishes which makes a developing calcium deficiency silent. Only later in life it becomes apparent that the integrity of the bones has been compromised. Recent studies in humans show an inverse association between high-calcium diets or calcium supplementation and the risk of colon cancer. Iodine (as Potassium Iodide) Iodide is an integral part of two hormones released by the thyroid gland, Thyroxine/T4 and Triiodothyronine/T3. These hormones regulate body temperature, metabolic rate, reproduction, growth, nerve and muscle function, blood cell production and much more. Iodine is also present in more than 100 enzyme systems such as energy production, nerve function and hair and skin growth. Iodine promotes the conversion of body fat to energy, thereby regulating basal metabolic rate. Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate) Magnesium is essential for life and acts in all the cells to generate ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) body’s energy fuel. Magnesium plays a major role in use of glucose, synthesis of protein and fat. Together with Calcium, it helps regulate blood pressure and the function of the lungs. Magnesium is crucial for heart function and seems to protect the body against hypertension. Zinc (as Zinc DL-Methionine Complex) Zinc is a cofactor required by many enzymes. Muscles contain 60% of the concentration of Zinc in the body. Zinc is associated with Insulin, growth and development and is essential for Immune function. Zinc has been shown to increase the natural killer white cells and to boost the production of antibodies in response to infection. It can also speed the process of wound healing and may have some antiviral properties. Research suggests that Zinc may be beneficial for patients with macular degeneration. Zinc is required for the production of Superoxide Dismutase, which is a strong antioxidant, and may help fight cancer. Zinc is required for production of Testosterone and stimulates sperm generation. Zinc deficiency will cause white spots or bands on finger nails or an opaque white appearance of nails. Selenium (as L-Selenomethionine, Sodium Selenate) Studies have shown that Selenium is protective against cancer and that increased selenium level is associated with decreased cancer incidence and decreased cancer mortality. This trace metal activates glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme with significant antioxidant activity. Selenium has been extensively studied in the prevention and treatment of cancer. There is strong evidence between low Selenium intake and high cancer incidence. It helps to increase the effectiveness of Vitamin E, and acts as an antioxidant to protect cells from the free radical damage that causes aging and is linked to many age-related diseases. Selenium may help prevent heart disease by increasing levels of HDL the good cholesterol and lowering the levels of LDL and reduce heart attack and stroke risk by decreasing the “stickiness” of the blood, and therefore reducing the risk of blood clots. Copper (as Copper Amino Acid Chelate) Copper serves as a constituent of several enzymes with diverse metabolic roles, all involved in oxygen reactions or oxygen radicals. Copper helps to manufacture collagen and heal wounds. It may help as an anti-inflammatory against arthritis, and increases the levels of superoxide dimutase, an enzyme with strong antioxidant activity. Copper deficiency has been associated with loss of hair. Manganese (as Manganese Gluconate) Manganese acts as a cofactor for many enzymes. It is essential in prevention of lipid peroxidation by free radicals. Manganese plays an important role in proper bone development and formation of certain enzymes, one of which is superoxide dismutase, a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes potentially damaging free radicals. Chromium (as Chromium Polynicotinate) Chromium is an essential mineral that participates in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Chromium helps Insulin in maintaining glucose homeostasis and makes glucose available for energy production. Consequently, less Insulin is needed to control blood glucose. It also lowers LDL the bad cholesterol and increases HDL, the good cholesterol. Molybdenum (as Sodium Molybdate) Molybdenum acts as part of several enzymes. Molybdenum can help to prevent anemia, and is able to detoxify potentially hazardous substances. It is an antioxidant and protects teeth from cavities. Molybdenum aids in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Boron (as Boron Citrate/Aspartate/Glycinate) Boron helps retain calcium in bones and prevents calcium and magnesium loss through urine and may play a key role in bone development and prevention of osteoporosis. There is some evidence to suggest that boron may be involved in estrogen and testosterone metabolism. Other studies suggest that boron is an important nutrient for brain and psychological function in humans. Choline(as Cholin Bitartrate) Choline is used to make the neurotransmitter, Acethylcholine and the phospholipid Lecithin a major constituent of the cell membrane. There is some evidence that choline may help improve cognitive function such as short term memory and may have anticancer properties. Inositol Inositol is important in cell survival in bone marrow, eye membranes and intestines. It may help prevent nerve damage in certain forms of muscular dystrophy. It may assist in brain cell nutrition and may be useful in treatment of depression and anxiety. Inositol may prevent hair loss, thinning hair and baldness. PABA (Para-Amino-Benzoic Acid) PABA is a coenzyme and is involved in the production of blood cells, metabolism of protein and is important in healthy skin, hair pigmentation, skin pigmentation (Vitiligo- abnormal white blotches of skin), intestinal health and fatigue. Vanadium (as Vanadyl Sulfate) Vanadium is required for growth and bone development, production of cartilage and teeth. It increases glucose metabolism and conversion into lipids, activates glycogen synthesis and improves glucose tolerance and the efficiency of insulin in the muscle cells. Thus, vanadium may be beneficial to diabetics. It is also required for normal reproduction. You are younger today, than you will ever be again. Promote your health by taking Vitamins and essential nutrients. Antiaging tips: Walk an hour every day and eat fish for 5 meals, every week.
