DIETARY MINERALS AND THEIR FUNCTION IN THE BODY
|
| + 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.* |
|
| + BIOTIN |
|
|
| + CHOLINE |
Choline aids in fat and cholesterol metabolism, hormone production, and fat and cholesterol metabolism. Choline is necessary for nerve impulse transmission: without choline, memory and other brain functions are impaired.* |
|
+ VITAMIN B12
+ COBALAMINE |
Vitamin B12 prevents anemia by regulating red blood cell formation and iron utilization. It aids in digestion and cell formation, promotes fertility, and prevents nerve damage by maintaining the sheaths that cover them.* |
|
| + CO-Q10 |
Coenzyme Q10, an antioxidant similar to Vitamin E, stimulates the immune system, is pivitol in cellular energy production, aids circulation and tissue oxygenation, acts as an antihistamine, and has anti-aging properties. It has also been found to be important in fighting cardiovascular disease and lowering high blood pressure.* |
|
+ VITAMIN B9
+ FOLIC ACID |
Vitamin B9, or Folic Acid (Folacin), works with Vitamin B12 and C as a co-enzyme in the breakdown and utilization of proteins. It is important for the formation of red blood cells and processes of growth and reproduction.* |
|
| + INOSITOL |
Inositol helps reduce cholesterol, prevent hardening of the arteries, remove fat from the liver, and is essential for hair growth. It is found in large quantities in the spinal cord nerves, the brain, and the cerebral spinal fluid.* |
|
+ VITAMIN B3
+ NIACIN |
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.* |
|
| + PABA |
|
|
+ VITAMIN B5
+ PANTOTHENIC ACID |
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) is a water-soluble vitamin. It is involved in energy production in thebody and required for the synthesis of cholesterol (needed to manufacture vitamin D and steroid hormones).* |
|
+ VITAMIN B6
+ PYRODOXINE |
Vitamin B6 aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins; helps in the formation of red blood cells; and helps maintain good vision. It also helps regulate the central nervous system and helps protect against stress. |
|
+ VITAMIN B2
+ RIBOFLAVIN |
Vitamin B2 is needed for red blood cell and antibody formation, cell respiration, the formation of niacin in the body, and the absorbtion of iron and B6. It may help prevent and treat cataracts and is important during pregnacy.* |
|
+ VITAMIN B1
+ THIAMINE |
Vitamin B1 is important for digestion, carbohydrate metabolism, blood formation, brain functions, and muscle tone of the stomach, heart, and intestines. It is also an antioxidant.* |
|
+ 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 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, or tocopherol, is an anti-oxidant that prevents the fats and fat-soluble Vitamin A stored in the body from breaking down and combining with other substances that may be harmful to the body. It also protects red blood cells from rupturing.* |
|
| + VITAMIN K |
Vitamin K is aids in blood clotting, bone formation and repair, and converting glucose into glycogen.* |
