Vitamin B1 (as Thiamine Mononitrate) 2 mg – Thought to be involved in functions which support the nervous system. Believed to have a key meta- bolic role in the cellular production of ATP. Vitamin B2 (as Ribofavin) 2 mg – May be useful in assisting cells to utilize oxygen and for normal cell growth. Involved in the complex respiratory process- es occurring in the mitochondria of cells. Vitamin B3 (as Niacinamide) 7 mg - Said to stimu- late circulation and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood due to its involvement in the metabolism of fats. Also may stimulate gastric juices. Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) 3.4 mg – Thought to be important in the utilization of all food sources for energy and in facilitating the release of glycogen from the liver and muscles. Folate (as Folic Acid) 80 mcg – Believed to be in- volved in many amino acid conversions such as the methylation of methionine, serine, histidine, and choline. Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamine) 3.6 mcg – Known as the “energy” vitamin. Is thought to be necessary for the activation of folic acid and essen- tial for the syntheses of methionine. Biotin 135 mcg – A member of the B-vitamin family that is involved with the biosynthesis of fatty acids, gluconeogenesis, energy production, and the me- tabolism of the branched chain amino acids. It is reported to have glucose tolerance modulating ac- tivity and may assist in the management of brittle fngernails and hair. Vitamin B5 (as Calcium D-Pantothenate) 3.5 mg – The “anti-stress” vitamin which seems to be vital to energy and to protein, fat, and carbohydrate me- tabolism. Believed to be involved in the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters. Phosphorus (as Potassium Phosphate) 200 mg – The second most abundant mineral in the body, involved with forming bones and teeth, energy pro- duction, and the utilization of carbohydrates and fats. Also important to protein synthesis for the growth, maintenance and repair of tissues and cells. Iodine (as Potassium iodide) 53 mcg – Believed to be essential in the production of thyroid hormones which are responsible for the body’s basal meta- bolic rate (BMR). Potassium (as Phosphate) 252 mg – Said to be useful in regulating water balance and the acid- base balance in the blood and tissues. Magnesium (as Citrate) 140 mg – An essential min- eral that is involved with over 300 metabolic reac- tions. Many call it the “anti-stress” mineral, as it is believed to be integral to the relaxation of skeletal and smooth muscles. It may also have antihyper- tensive, glucose-regulatory, and bronchodilatory properties. Zinc (as Glycinate Chelate) 10 mg – Believed to have antioxidant activity and, as such, has been used by many to assist in healing throughout the body and as an immune modulator. It is reported that it also may have antiviral, fertility enhancing and retinoprotective activities. Selenium (as Amino Acid Complex) 40 mcg – An es- sential trace element that has been found to be an antioxidant, and to assist in the regulation of thyroid hormone metabolism. Other evidence shows it may have immunomodulatory, anticarcinogenic and anti- atherogenic activity. Copper (as Glycinate Chelate) 1000 mcg – An es- sential trace mineral thought of as a catalyst in the formation of hemoglobin. It is also thought to help control levels of histamine. Manganese (as Glycinate Chelate) 1.3 mg – An essential trace element thought to be involved in enzyme systems responsible for energy produc- tion, protein metabolism, bone formation, and the synthesis of L-dopamine, cholesterol, and mucopoly- saccharides. Chromium (as Polynicotinate) 50 mcg – An essen- tial trace mineral believed to regulate carbohydrate metabolism by enhancing insulin function. It may also hypocholesterolemic and anti-atherogenic properties. Molybdenum (as Glycinate Chelate) 120 mcg – An essential trace mineral thought to be vital in uric acid formation, iron utilization, carbohydrate me- tabolism, and sulfte detoxifcation. N-Acetyl L-Cysteine 600 mg – A derivative of L-Cys- teine that is a major precursor to the antioxidant glutathione. Studies suggest that it may have strong hepatoprotective properties, mucolytic properties, and may regenerate liver stores of glutathione. L-Cysteine (as Hydrochloride) 500 mg – Is a sulfur amino acid which serves as a precursor for the syn- thesis of proteins, glutathione, taurine, and coen- zyme A, among other things. Studies have demon- strated that L-Cysteine may have anti-infammatory properties, it may protect against various toxins, and it might help with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. L-Glutathione 400 mg – An antioxidant which helps to protect cells from reactive oxygen species like free radicals and peroxides. Studies suggest that it may also support liver detoxifcation and may have immune modulating properties. L-Methionine 175 mg – An essential sulphur- containing amino acid considered an antioxidant because it is a methyl donor. This methyl group is donated to the body so it may combine with active free radicals and minimize their damaging effects. Methionine gives rise to cysteine and can act as a powerful detoxifying agent and as a lipotropic to pre- vent excess fat buildup in the liver. It has also been demonstrated to possibly protect against alcohol, to aid in maintaining the pool of glutathione, and it may assist with eliminating toxic heavy metals.
