Vitamin A stimulates the production and activity of white blood cells, takes part in remodeling bone, helps maintain the health of endothelial cells (those lining the bodyi's interior surfaces), and regulates cell growth and division. Although it is relatively easy to get too little Vitamin A, it is also easy to get too much. Intake of up to 10,000 IU, twice the current recommended daily level, is thought to be safe. However, there is some evidence that this amount of preformed Vitamin A (retinol), might increase the risk of hip fracture or some birth defects. Therefore, when you take higher doses of Vitamin A, it does not serve its purpose as an antioxidant. The recommended daily dose of Vitamin A is 2,300 IU for women and 3,000 IU for men, which is sufficient to support normal gene expression, immune function, and vision. Based on the Linus Pauling Institute, to take multivitamin supplements could supply as much as 5,000 IU/day of Vitamin A. That amount has been associated with adverse effects on bone health in older adults. For this reason, Linus Pauling Institute recommends taking a multivitamin supplement that provides no more than 2,500 IU of Vitamin A (as retinol) or a supplement that provides 5,000 IU of Vitamin A, of which at least 50% comes from Beta-Carotene.  High potency Vitamin A supplements should not be used without medical supervision due to the risk of toxicity. We balance our supplements following these guidelines to assure that you have the right dose of vitamin A.

Vitamin C is a great antioxidant, immune system booster, and cell protector. Everyday, the collagen in our connective tissues depends on vitamin C to keep it strong. Vitamin C can speed up healing of wounds, minimize bruising, and prevent inflammation. Its antioxidant properties protect our skin against the signs of aging caused by harmful free-radicals.

Vitamin D

Laboratory studies also show that Vitamin D keeps cancer cells from growing and dividing. There are supporting evidences that larger doses of Vitamin D are helpful for the prostate cancer treatment.

Vitamin E

Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer.

Vitamin B6, Folate and Vitamin B12

Studies found a significant relationship in the risk of cancer reduction, and the intake of Vitamin B6, Folate and Vitamin B12 together. Folate is a key ingredient in fighting cancer. Studies show that people who get higher than average amounts of folic acid from their diets or supplements have lower risks of colon cancer, prostate cancer and breast cancer. Selenium is a mineral component of antioxidant enzymes. Plant foods like rice and wheat are the major dietary sources of selenium in most countries. The amount of selenium in soil, which varies by region, determines the amount of selenium in the foods grown in that soil. Therefore, supplementation is advisable.

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 is essential to promoting the breakdown of carbohydrates into the glucose needed to produce energy. This helps maintaining a healthy nervous system, giving thiamine the reputation of being a moral-lifting vitamin.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 has the distinction of being the only vitamin found in significant amounts in beer. This vitamin is most active working in a partnership with other B vitamins to from enzymes and coenzymes.

Biotin

Biotin is important for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Pantothenic Acid

Pantothenic Acid acts as a coenzyme to release energy from protein, fats and carbohydrates. It is also essential to the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and steroids. Pantothenic acid stimulates the adrenal glands producing hormones necessary for healthy skin and nerves. It is vital for the development of the central nervous system and improves the body's ability to withstand stress.
