is part of
the fat-soluble group of vitamins. It is also an effective
antioxidant that protects cells against damage and may be effective
as an anti-aging tool. * Some of the functions of vitamin A are that
it is critical for healthy skin, bones, and teeth, mucous membranes,
and night vision. Is also helps new cells grow and is a proven
treatment for acne. � However, too much vitamin A can be toxic,
especially to the liver. �
Vitamin C is an antioxidant required for tissue growth
and repair, adrenal gland function, and healthy gums. The body
cannot manufacture vitamin C, so it must be obtained through diet
and supplements. Some of the other functions of vitamin C are that
it aids in the production of anti-stress hormones, it protects
against the effects of pollution, and it helps prevent cancer and
protects against infection. Vitamin C can also enhance immunity and
it increases the absorption of iron. Vitamin C may reduce
cholesterol levels and high blood pressure because it protects
against blood clotting, and bruising. It also promotes the healing
of wounds and burns and neutralizes free radicals. � However,
smoking drastically impairs the effectiveness of vitamin C. �
Vitamin E works synergistically with vitamin C, meaning
they have a greater effect on the body working together than they do
individually. These vitamins reinforce and extend each other�s
antioxidant activity. Vitamin E is also a fat soluble, essential
nutrient and cannot be manufactured by the body. Some of the other
functions of vitamin E are that it scavenges free radicals, fights
cancer and cardiovascular disease, and enhances blood clotting and
circulation. Vitamin E also speeds healing and reduces scarring. It
regulates hormone changes and keeps cell walls supple and strong.
Vitamin E is also known to protect low-density fatty acids and
micro-nutrients, especially vitamin A. It reduces DNA damage in
cells that can lead to mutations and cancer. Vitamin E supplements
have been taken because it can improve PMS, fertility, chronic
fatigue syndrome, and other conditions. Vitamin E does have a weak
spot in its armor�inorganic forms of iron can destroy it. �
Thiamin (B1) is depended upon by the nervous, digestive,
and circulatory systems for proper function. Other requirements for
thiamin are the breakdown of carbohydrates and brain reactions. The
consumption of alcohol destroys B-1. �
Riboflavin (B2) is critical for digestion and the release
of energy. It enhances the immune system by helping build red blood
cells and anti-bodies. Cataracts can be improved through
supplementing B-2. �
Niacin (B3) contributes to a healthy nervous and
circulatory system, skin, mucous membranes, and proper carbohydrate
metabolism. It also helps manufacture sex hormones and hydrochloric
acid in the stomach. Studies show that taking niacin supplements can
help with memory loss, however too much can damage the liver. �
The immune system, nervous system, digestive tract, and pH depend
upon Vitamin B6, making it a real workhorse in the
human body. It builds red blood cells and fights cancer. Supplements
reduce the symptoms of PMS, depression, and joint pain. �
Folate (Folic Acid) is considered a "brain
food" for a healthy nervous system, immune system, and red
blood cells. It helps fight stress and depression. It is a co-enzyme
that helps build DNA and RNA making it important for pregnant women
to supplement for reducing the risk of birth defects. �
Vitamin B12 is found only in meat products and is
critical for a healthy nervous system and red blood cells. Some of
the important reasons to supplement are that it improves anemia,
fertility, depression, and memory loss. If you are a vegetarian,
supplementation is very necessary. �
Biotin is important in cell development, the production
of fatty acids, and various metabolic reactions. Taking supplements
of biotin can help hair growth, depression, and skin conditions. �
Pantothenic Acid (B-5) helps catalyze metabolic reactions
and the production of antibodies, and adrenal hormones. It is also
part of co-enzyme A, an organic compound that drives thousands of
reactions in the body every second. It is used as a common treatment
for depression. �
Polyfloramin� is the link in creating the synergy
between our exclusive mineral formulas and many other nutrients, it
was designed to enhance the bio-availability of these nutrients and
increase uptake of not only our exclusive catalyzed products, but
also the nutrients in the foods you eat. *
