The following MINERALS may be beneficial for...
EPILEPSY

+ CALCIUM
Calcium performs numerous vital functions in the body. It combines with phosphorus to strengthen bones and is crucial for nerve conduction, muscle contraction and heartbeat. Calcium also helps prevent cramps brought on by exercise by avoiding lactic acid buildup.*

+ CHROMIUM
Chromium is essential to the metabolism of lipids, glucose and insulin. It promotes healthy glucose tolerance and helps regulate sugar levels in the body. Chromium also aids in the breakdown and distribution of proteins and carbohydrates.*

+ COPPER
Copper is heavily involved in the production of hemoglobin. It is also involved in the production of colagen, the protein responsible for the integrity of bone, cartilege, skin and tendon, and elastin, a major component of large blood vessels.*

+ IODINE
Iodine is crucial for the health of the thyroid gland and is essential for the production of two key hormones that help regulate a host of body processes including resting metabolic rate, heart rate, heat production and energy levels.*

+ MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is essential for every major biological process. It is necessary for 300+ enzymatic reactions and is vital for calcium metabolism. Magnesium is not a trace mineral, but a major entity in our bodies.*

+ MANGANESE
Manganese is involved in protein, fat and energy metabolism. It's primary function, though, is as an antioxidant. Manganese is an essential part of biochemical reactions that affect bone, cartilage and brain function.*

+ POTASSIUM
Potassium is necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses that provide smooth coordinated muscle movement. Potassium also helps widen the blood vessels during exercise, thereby increasing blood flow to help carry away heat, and it is used to convert blood glucose to glycogen.*

+ SELENIUM
Selenium is an essential trace mineral required by the body in small quantities. It is also a potent antioxidant. Selenium is necessary for proper calcium and vitamin C metabolism, helps convert blood sugar into energy, decreases platelet aggregation and helps promote cardiovascular health.*

+ SULFUR
Sulfur is an essential component of biotin, thiamin and pantothenic acid. It is found in all skin and connective tissue and is vital for the growth of hair and nails. Sulfur plays an important role in energy metabolism, insulin production and hormone synthesis.*

+ ZINC
Zinc is required for the production of both RNA and DNA, the basic building blocks of the body. It assists the body in making the 200+ enzymes and is essential in the development and continuous normal functioning of the central nervous system. Zinc also plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.*

The following VITAMINS may be beneficial for...
EPILEPSY

+ BIOFLAVINOIDS
Bioflavinoids prevent and treat cataracts, promote circlulation, lower cholesterol, have antibacterial properties, and help relieve pain, bumps and bruises associated with athletic injuries. Bioflavinoids also enhance the absorption of vitamin C.*

+ COBALAMINE (B12)
Vitamin B12

+ CO–Q10
Co-Q10

+ FOLIC ACID (B9)
Vitamin B9

+ NIACIN (B3)
Vitamin B3 is also known by the names niacinamide and nicotinic acid. It lowers cholesterol, enhances memory, aids the nervous system, helps the metabolism, is necesary for digestion, improves circulation, and helps synthesize sex hormones.

+ PANTOTHENIC ACID (B5)
Vitamin B5

+ PYRODOXINE (B6)
Vitamin B6

+ RIBOFLAVIN (B2)
Vitamin B2

+ THIAMIN (B1)
Vitamin B1

+ VITAMIN A (& CAROTENOIDS)
Vitamin A helps prevent eye disorders, skin disorders like acne, cancer, colds, influenza and other infections. It enhances immunity and acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin A is needed for skin and mucous membrane health, bone and teeth formation, and protein utilization. It helps slow the aging process.*

+ VITAMIN B COMPLEX
The B vitamins promote healthy nerves, skin, eyes, hair, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and brain function. The B vitamins are also coenzymes involved in energy production. B Complex is important for elderly people and a deficiency can mimic Alzheimer's disease.*

+ VITAMIN C (ASCORBIC ACID)
Vitamin C performs hundreds of functions in the body. It is crucial for the production of antibodies, strengthens connective tissues, helps reduce the duration and severity of a cold, assists with wound healing, and protects other vitamins from oxidation.*

+ VITAMIN D
Vitamin D helps the intestines absorb and use calcium and phosphorus, regulates heartbeat, develops bones and teeth in children, prevents and treats osteoporosis, and is necessary for blood clotting and thyroid function.

+ VITAMIN E
Vitamin E

The following NUTRIENTS may be beneficial for...
EPILEPSY

+ ENZYMES
Enzymes

+ GRAPE SEED EXTRACT
Grape seed extract has been recognized as one of the most powerful antioxidants, containing natural free radical scavengers and bioflavinoid complexes that are rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the body. It has also been shown to promote healthy cholesterol levels and promote a healthy cardiovascular system.

+ L-CARNITINE
L-Carnitine

+ OMEGA 3 ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID
Essential Fatty Acids are the basic building blocks of fats and oils and must come from the diet as they cannot be manufactured by the body. Some of the Omega 3 EFA's include linoleic and gamma-linolenic acids.
