Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is required for tissue growth and repair, adrenal gland function, and healthy gums. It protects against the harmful effects of pollution, helps to prevent cancer, protects against infection, and enhances immunity. Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron, and may reduce cholesterol levels and high blood pressure and prevent atherosclerosis. Essential in the formation of collagen, it protects against blood clotting and bruising, and promotes the healing of wounds and burns.
Vitamin D: A fat soluble vitamin called the "Sunshine Vitamin." Can be acquired either from sunlight or diet. It is necessary for growth, and is required for the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus by the intestinal tract, and is especially important for the normal growth and development of bones and teeth in children. It protects against muscle weakness and is involved in the regulation of the heartbeat.
Vitamin E: An antioxidant that has been shown to help prevent cancer and heart disease. It improves circulation, and is necessary for tissue repair. It is useful in treating PMS and promotes normal blood clotting and healing. It helps to maintain healthy nerves and muscles, while strengthening capillary walls. It promotes healthy skin and nails and prevents anemia. Vitamin E protects other fat soluble vitamins from destruction by oxygen, and aids in the utilization of vitamin A. Deficiency symptoms may include infertility (in both sexes), menstrual problems, neuromuscular impairment, and shortened red blood cell life span.
The body needs zinc in order to maintain proper levels of E in the blood.
Vitamin K: Vitamin K is needed for the production of prothrombin, which is necessary for blood clotting. It is also essential for bone formation and repair. It plays an important role in the intestines and aids in converting glucose into glycogen for storage in the liver, promoting healthy liver function.
Thiamin (Vitamin B1): B1 enhances circulation and assists in carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hydrochloric acid, which is important for proper digestion. It also optimizes cognitive activity and brain function. It has a positive effect on energy, growth, normal appetite, and is needed for muscle tone of the intestines, stomach, and heart. B1 acts as an antioxidant, protecting the body from the degenerative effects of aging, alcohol consumption, and smoking.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): B2 is necessary for red blood cell formation, antibody production, cell respiration, and growth. It alleviates eye fatigue and is important in the prevention and treatment of cataracts. It also facilitates the use of oxygen by the tissues of the skin, nails and hair, and helps the absorption of iron and vitamin B6. Like the other B vitamins, it is not stored by the body and must be replaced regularly from whole foods or supplements. America's most common vitamin deficiency is Riboflavin.
Niacin (Vitamin B3): Niacin is needed for proper circulation and healthy skin. It aids in the functioning of the nervous system; in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and in the production of hydrochloric acid for the digestive system. Niacin lowers cholesterol and improves circulation.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): B6 is involved in more bodily functions than almost any other single nutrient. It affects both physical and mental health. It is beneficial if you suffer from water retention, and is necessary for the production of hydrochloric acid and the absorption of fats and protein. It also aids in maintaining sodium and potassium balance, and promotes red blood cell formation. It is required by the nervous system, and is needed for normal brain function. Vitamin B6 plays a role in cancer immunity and aids in the prevention of arteriosclerosis. It inhibits the formation of a toxic chemical called homocysteine, which attacks the heart muscle and allows the deposition of cholesterol around the heart muscle. A deficiency may cause acne, anorexia, arthritis, conjunctivitis, depression, dizziness, fatigue, hyper-irritability, impaired wound healing, learning difficulties, weak memory, hearing difficulties, and oily facial skin.
Folate: Considered brain food, folate is needed for energy production and the production of red blood cells. It may also help depression and anxiety. Folate works best when combined with vitamin B12 and vitamin C. A deficiency may be caused by inadequate consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables or eating only cooked vegetables as cooking destroys it.
Vitamin B12: Is needed to prevent anemia. It aids folate (folic acid) in the formation of red blood cells, and helps in the utilization of iron. It is required for proper digestion, absorption of foods, synthesis of protein, metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Vitamin B12 is linked to the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that assists in memory and learning. Deficiency can be caused by mal-absorption, most common in the elderly, and those with digestive disorders. Can cause chronic fatigue, constipation, depression, dizziness, drowsiness, eye disorders, headaches, memory loss, moodiness, and spinal cord degeneration.
Biotin: Biotin aids in cell growth; in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and in the utilization of the other B-complex vitamins. Biotin is needed for healthy hair and skin. It also promotes healthy sweat glands, nerve tissue and bone marrow.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Known as "the anti-stress vitamin," it plays a role in the production of the adrenal hormones and the formation of antibodies, aids in vitamin utilization, and helps convert fats, carbohydrates and proteins into energy. It is also a stamina enhancer and prevents certain forms of anemia. It is needed for normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and may be helpful in treating depression and anxiety.
Calcium : Is vital for the formation of strong bones and teeth and for the maintenance of healthy gums. It is also important in the maintenance of regular heartbeat and the transmission of nerve impulses. Calcium lowers cholesterol levels and helps prevent cardiovascular disease. It is needed for muscular growth and contraction, and for the prevention of muscle cramps. This important mineral is essential in blood clotting, may lower blood pressure and prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis.
Iron: Perhaps the most important of iron's functions in the body is the production of hemoglobin and myoglobin (the form of hemoglobin found in muscle tissue) and the oxygenation of red blood cells. Iron is also required for a healthy immune system and for energy production. Deficiency is most often caused by insufficient intake, however may result from intestinal bleeding, excessive menstrual bleeding, a diet high in phosphorus, poor digestion, long term illness, ulcers, prolonged use of antacids, excessive coffee or tea consumption, and other causes. Strenuous exercise and heavy perspiration deplete iron from the body.
Phosphorus: This mineral assists the body in the utilization of vitamins and the conversion of food to energy. It is also needed for bone and tooth formation, cell growth, contraction of the heart muscle, and kidney function. A deficiency can lead to anxiety, bone pain, fatigue, irregular breathing, numbness, skin sensitivity, trembling, weakness, and weight changes. Iodine: Helps metabolize excess fat and is important for physical and mental development. It is needed for a healthy thyroid gland and the prevention of goiter. Iodine deficiency has been linked to breast cancer and is associated with fatigue and weight gain.
Magnesium: This mineral is a vital catalyst in enzyme activity, especially the activity of those enzymes involved in energy production. It can help prevent depression, dizziness, muscle weakness and PMS, and aids in maintaining the body's proper pH balance. It protects the arterial linings from stress caused by sudden blood pressure changes and plays a role in the formation of bone.
Zinc: This mineral is important in prostate gland function and the growth of the reproductive organs. It may prevent acne and regulate the activity of oil glands. It is required for protein synthesis and collagen formation, and promotes a healthy immune system and the healing of wounds. It protects the liver from chemical damage and is vital for bone formation.
Selenium: Selenium's principal function is to inhibit the oxidation of lipids (fats). It is a vital antioxidant, especially when combined with vitamin E. it protects the immune system by preventing the formation of free radicals, which can damage the body. Deficiency has been linked to cancer and heart disease.
Copper: Among its many functions, copper aids in the formation of bone, hemoglobin, and red blood cells, and works in balance with zinc and vitamin C to form elastin. It is involved in the healing process, energy production, hair and skin coloring, and taste sensitivity. Copper is essential in the formation of collagen.
Manganese: Manganese is used in energy production and is required for normal bone growth and for reproduction. It is also used in the formation of cartilage and synovial (lubricating) fluid of the joints.
Chromium: Chromium is essential for good health and works in conjunction with the hormone insulin, which regulates metabolism and blood sugar levels. Chromium may reduce body fat while maintaining and building lean muscle, reduce elevated cholesterol levels and improve glucose control.
Molybdenum: This mineral is found in the liver, bones, and kidneys. It promotes normal cell function, and is a component of the metabolic enzyme xanthine oxidase. A low intake is associated with mouth and gum disorders and cancer. A deficiency may cause impotence in males. Those whose diets are high in refined and processed foods are at risk for deficiency.
Sodium: Sodium is necessary for maintaining proper water balance and blood pH. It is also needed for stomach, nerve and muscle function.
Potassium: This mineral is important for a healthy nervous system and a regular heart rhythm. It may help prevent stroke, aids in proper muscle contraction, and works with sodium to control the body's water balance. It also regulates the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes. This function of potassium has been shown to decrease with age, which may account for some of the circulatory damage, lethargy, and weakness experienced by older people. Tobacco and caffeine reduce potassium absorption.
Contains the following amino acids:
Alanine: Alanine aids in the metabolism of glucose. Epstein-Barr virus and chronic fatigue have been associated with excessive alanine levels and low levels of tyrosine and phenylalanine.
Arginine: Arginine retards the growth of tumors and cancer by enhancing the immune system. It increases the size and activity of the thymus gland, which manufactures T-cells, crucial components of the immune system. It is important for muscle metabolism. It helps to maintain a proper nitrogen balance by acting as a vehicle for transportation and storage, and aiding in the excretion of excess nitrogen. This amino acid aids in weight loss because it facilitates an increase in muscle mass and a reduction of body fat. It is a component of collagen and aids in building new bone and tendon cells.
Aspartic Acid: Because aspartic acid increases stamina, it is good for fatigue and plays a vital role in metabolism. Chronic fatigue may result from low levels of aspartic acid, because this leads to lower cellular energy. It is good for athletes, and helps to protect the liver by aiding in the removal of excess ammonia.
Cystine: This amino acid aids in the production of collagen and helps detoxify harmful toxins and protect the body from radiation damage. It is one of the best free radical destroyers, and works best when taken with selenium and vitamin E. It promotes the burning of fat and building of muscle.
Glutamic Acid: This amino acid is important in the metabolism of sugars and fats, and aids in the transportation of potassium across the blood brain barrier. The brain uses it as fuel.
Glycine: Glycine retards muscle degeneration by supplying additional creatine, a compound that is present in muscle tissue. Because high concentrations are found in the skin and connective tissues, it is useful for repairing damaged tissues and promoting healing.
Histidine: This amino acid is significant in the growth of and repair of tissues. It also protects the body from radiation damage and aids in removing heavy metals from the system.
Isoleucine: This is one of the essential amino acids and is needed for hemoglobin formation and also stabilizes and regulates blood sugar and energy levels. It is metabolized in muscle tissue. It is one of the branch-chain amino acids. These amino acids are valuable for athletes because they enhance energy, increase endurance and aid in the healing and repair of muscle tissue.
Leucine: This is an essential amino acid and one of the branch-chain amino acids. These work together to protect muscle and act as fuel. They promote the healing of bones, skin and muscle tissue. Leucine also lowers elevated blood sugar levels and aids in increasing growth hormone production.
Lysine: Lysine is an essential amino acid that is the building block for all protein. It aids in the production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes, and helps in collagen formation and tissue repair. Because it helps to build muscle protein, it is good for those recovering from surgery and sports injuries.
Methionine: It assists in the breakdown of fats, thus helping to prevent a buildup of fat in the liver and arteries that might obstruct blood flow to the heart, brain, and kidneys. It helps the digestive system, helps to detoxify harmful agents such as lead and other heavy metals; helps to diminish muscle weakness, prevent brittle hair, and is beneficial for people with osteoporosis or chemical allergies.
Phenylalanine: This is an essential amino acid. It can elevate mood, decrease pain, aid in memory and learning and suppress the appetite. It can be used to treat arthritis, depression, menstrual cramps, migraines and obesity.
Proline: Proline improves skin texture by aiding in the production of collagen and reducing the loss of collagen through the aging process. It also helps in the healing of cartilage and the strengthening of joints, tendons, and heart muscle. It works with Vitamin C to promote healthy connective tissue.
