NUTRITIONAL FUNCTIONS

Vitamin A promotes growth and protein synthesis. It is essential for healing because of its role in the synthesis of nucleotides, proteins, glycoproteins and lipoproteins important for hypoglycemia and blood sugar stability.

Vitamin C is essential for the collagen cement of the cells and elastin. It is important for the synthesis of adrenal steroids in preventing fatigue and stress. The steroid cortisol maintains normal blood sugar levels.

Thiamine HCl (Vitamin B1) helps change glucose into energy or fat, helps metabolize fats, carbohydrates and proteins and balances nerves.

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) also assists in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, forms some enzymes and is part of some coenzymes.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) plays a role in the release of energy from fats, proteins and carbohydrates. It is involved in the respiratory cycle, tissue oxidation, normal function of the digestive tract and nervous system and lowers blood pressure.

Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5) is involved in the metabolism of cholesterol, the release of energy from fats and protein, cell oxidation and synthesis of triglycerides, phospholipids, all steroids and important amines in the brain.

Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6) helps prevent muscular weakness, converts amino acids and is essential in metabolism of proteins and fats.

Vitamin B12 is essential for the formation of new blood and reproductive cells, bone marrow, nervous system and G.I. tract.

Biotin acts as a coenzyme in carbon dioxide, participates in enzymatic reactions, deaminates amino acids and is essential in the formation of nucleic acids and glycogen.

Zinc is essential in the synthesis of nucleic acids, reproduction and growth, metabolism of Vitamin B1, phosphorus and protein, and absorption and activity of vitamins, specifically the B complex vitamins. It is necessary for over 25 enzymes involved in digestion and metabolism of carbohydrates and is a component of insulin.

GTF Chromium makes it possible for insulin to attach to cell membranes to initiate the transport of glucose into cells. It is essential for maintaining blood sugar levels and for the synthesis of glycogen from glucose rather than fat. It aids prevention of high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, increases effectiveness of insulin and stimulates insulin production, provides enzymes for glucose metabolism. It decreases serum lipids, increases high density serum lipoproteins and builds healthy arteries.

Manganese helps in the utilization of glucose and maintenance of blood sugar levels, is a component of SOD and important in the synthesis of glycoproteins.

Selenium acts with the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, a major antioxidant.

Kelp is a great source of iodine and trace minerals.

Recommendations
As a dietary supplement, two to six capsules per day following meals or as directed by your health care professional.
