Pro Vitamin
Complete represents complete nutritional science. It attempts to
target all nutritional aspects of the human anatomy in one
complete supplement. As a liquid, it offers you the very best
absorption possible, flexible doses for the whole family and
provides the best that science and nature has to offer! |
| A report in the June 19,
2002 issue of 'The Journal of the American Medical Association' has
recognized the link between vitamins and the reduced risk of chronic
diseases, like cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis.*The
report states, "Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all
vitamins by diet alone" and recommends "all adults should take one
multivitamin daily." In fact, "Recent evidence has shown that sub
optimal levels of vitamins, even well above those causing deficiency
syndromes, are risk factors for chronic disease." Consequently. "A large
proportion of the general population is apparently at increased risk."
To help address this vitamin deficiency
problem, the report goes on to say, "We recommend multivitamins, rather
than individual vitamins, because multivitamins are simpler to take...
and because a large proportion of the population needs supplements of
more than one vitamin."
" In the liquid
supplements, the vitamins and minerals are already dissolved and
therefore are immediately bioavailable. Furthermore, the liquid
supplements usually are acidic; specifically, they are formulated to
contain citric acid, ascorbic acid, and other substances that increase
the bioavailability of minerals, such as carbohydrates (glucose,
lactose), polyols (sorbitol), amino acids (arginine, lysine), vegetable
gums, peptides, and emulsifying agents. Solid vitamin-mineral
preparations instead contain inert excipients and are usually buffered
so as not to cause gastric discomfort on ingestion, although this may
reduce mineral bioavailability."
