How It Works

Vitamins and minerals are the basic building blocks of health.

Vitamins and minerals are crucial for turning food into energy.

They also play a key role in growth and development, physical fitness, mental aptitude, and in supporting the body’s organ systems.

Plus, vitamins and minerals are essential for things like activating nerve functions and muscle contractions, fighting off illness, and protecting cells against damage.

Vitamins & Minerals

• Vitamin A helps to improve eyesight, promote immune function, supports the growth and remodeling of bones, and aids in the differentiation of cells. Vitamin A is also essential for lactation, reproduction, skin health, and the formation of steroid hormones.
• Vitamin C helps produce collagen, protects against bruising, and aids in the absorption of iron and folate. Vitamin C performs many functions involving the immune system and tissue development. Plus, the adrenal glands need large amounts of vitamin C in order to support immunity and help produce energy. As an antioxidant, vitamin C works together with vitamin E to combat free radicals.
• Vitamin D works synergistically with vitamin A. It plays a role in absorbing and regulating calcium and phosphorus for healthy bones. This vitamin helps the body synthesize protein. Vitamin D is vital to the health of the nervous system and kidneys.
• Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that supports circulation, helps to maintain the fluidity of the blood, and is necessary for maintenance of the skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle membranes. Vitamin E also assists in the production of enzymes needed to maintain overall health, prevent premature aging, and keep tissue supple.
• B-vitamins play important roles in cellular energy metabolism, cardiovascular health, immune function, mood regulation, hormone balance, nervous system health, prenatal development, adrenal function, and the health of hair, skin and nails, to name just a few.
• Choline is the precursor for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is involved in many brain functions, including memory and muscle control. Choline also helps with brain “busy-ness.” Research shows that people who get more choline in their diet have lower levels of anxiousness. Plus, choline supports liver health.
• Calcium is essential for healthy bones, teeth and muscles, and it plays an essential role in blood clotting, nerve conduction, and immune function. Calcium is also critical for muscle contractions, including those in the heart.
• Iron is a mineral used by the body in the production of red blood cells and proteins. Iron helps the blood transport oxygen from the lungs throughout the body.
• Phosphorous works with calcium to support strong bones and teeth. It also works synergistically with B-vitamins to help maintain proper fluid balance in the body.
• Iodine is essential for healthy thyroid gland function. It is needed to help regulate body temperature, produce blood cells, and support muscle and nerve functions. Iodine also plays an important role in the growth of hair follicles, skin cells and nail beds.
• Zinc is key to hundreds of important functions, including sugar and protein metabolism, DNA formation, and energy production. It's needed for proper growth and development of bones, helps strengthen your immune system, and acts play an important role in the proper functioning of the antioxidant defense system.
• Selenium is a trace mineral that helps form several antioxidant enzymes. Selenium is also needed for healthy thyroid function and plays a key role in metabolism. Selenium works together with vitamin E to help quench free radicals before they can damage cells.
• Copper is an essential trace mineral that helps build and maintain strong bones and muscles. Copper is involved in the formation of connective tissues such as those found in bones and joints. It also helps the body absorb iron, which is important for bone health. Plus, copper works with zinc for healthy hair growth.
• Manganese plays an important role in energy production, immune response, and antioxidant defense. Manganese also supports the muscular and skeletal systems, is essential for calcium absorption and blood building, and is involved in the metabolism of glucose and lipids (fats).

Herbs & Antioxidants

• Turmeric supports a healthy inflammatory response as it nourishes the immune, circulatory and glandular systems. Turmeric root is rich in powerful antioxidants known as curcuminoids that help support joint, skin, brain and gut health.
• Hesperidin is a bioflavonoid compound found most commonly in the rinds of citrus fruits. It supports vitamin C's activity and also provides antioxidant benefits.
• Inositol affects important neurotransmitters in the brain, including those needed for healthy brain function, as well as those that can affect mood such as serotonin and dopamine. Inositol is known to have a calming effect. It also influences the action of insulin, which is essential for healthy blood sugar control. Plus, inositol aids in fat metabolism and works together with choline to help protect the liver.
• Lemon bioflavonoid provides antioxidant protection and assists the absorption and utilization of vitamin C. It also helps promote a strengthened immune system, better cardiovascular health, increased capillary strength, improved eyesight, and support for the connective tissues in the body.
• PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) is needed for the breakdown and utilization of proteins and for the formation of healthy blood cells. PABA also nourishes the glands, supports intestinal health, and is important for the health of the skin and hair.
• Rutin is a bioflavonoid that supports vitamin C’s activity and provides antioxidant protection.
• Alfalfa is rich in nutrients, including cleansing chlorophyll, antioxidants, vitamin C, and minerals like calcium, potassium, iron and zinc. Alfalfa encourages regular bowel movements, helps detoxify the urinary tract, and promotes a healthy immune response. Alfalfa is a nutritive tonic that helps build healthy blood.
• Kelp is a type of brown algae that is naturally rich in trace minerals, including potassium, iodine and zinc. Iodine supports glandular function, metabolism and energy levels. Kelp is particularly important to the thyroid, a gland acting as the body’s energy thermostat.
• Rose hips are a natural source of vitamin C and contain beneficial bioflavonoids and antioxidants. Rose hips also offer natural immune support.
• Chamomile is a time-honored herbal calming aid, boosting the body's abiliies to support digestion and combat stress. Chamomile is known to soothe nerves, relax muscle tension, and promote restful sleep. Chamomile has also been used traditionally for minor gastrointestinal complaints, including upset stomach, gas, indigestion, stomach cramps, diarrhea and intestinal irritation.
• Dandelion is a rich source of many important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Dandelion supports digestion and is reported to have tonic effects on the liver and gallbladder. Dandelion contains polysaccharides and antioxidants that support liver function, help detoxify the liver, and may support healthy cholesterol levels.
• Goldenseal is a natural source of berberine, which is believed to support gastric function and intestinal transit. Goldenseal also provides proven immune system support.
• Wheat germ is a nutrient-rich part of the wheat kernel, packed with fiber, protein, healthy fats, and vitamins. Wheat germ provides prebiotic fiber to support a healthy gut microbiome. Wheat germ also supports cardiovascular health, cholesterol metabolism, and brain function.
