Description

It is a fact that good nutrition is the foundation of wellness, and good nutrition usually results in a stronger immune system and better health. An important aspect of good nutrition is micronutrition (vitamins and minerals). Micronutrients play a role in converting food into energy; building and repairing tissue and DNA; making neurotransmitters, hormones and other modulators in the body; breaking down and detoxifying xenobiotics and drugs; and maintaining growth, reproduction and health. According to research conducted by the USDA and other organizations, the American diet is lacking in micronutrients. In fact, nine out of 10 Americans lack essential micronutrients. Common culprits may be food production and storage techniques, poor food choices, and preparation methods that deplete nutrients. Whatever the cause, the bottom line is that children and adults are not consuming enough nutrient-rich foods to meet all their most basic vitamin and mineral needs. In addition, recommended intakes (e.g., %DV, DRI, EAR, RDA) are designed to meet the minimum needs of some healthy people; they are not designed to meet the needs of all individuals, especially the chronically ill. There are many reasons to choose ActivNutrients:

Vitamins and minerals work synergistically and cooperatively when present in appropriate amounts. However, imbalances between micronutrients can disrupt this synergistic relationship, eventually leading to cases of competitive intestinal absorption or displacement at the metabolic/cellular level, which can produce relative excesses and deficiencies. For this reason, the balanced profile of ActivNutrients includes calcium and magnesium, zinc and copper, vitamins C and E, bioactive folate, vitamin B12 and B complex, beta-carotene and trace elements.

Micronutrients are provided in bioavailable forms so they can be better absorbed and utilized. A complete complement of Albion's patented chelates and mineral complexes® is contained in ActivNutrients. Albion is a recognized world leader in the nutrition of mineral amino acid chelates and manufactures highly bioavailable nutritional mineral forms that are validated by third party research and clinical studies. Not only does this formula contain natural vitamin E, which has been proven to be up to 100% more bioavailable than synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol, but it also provides blended tocopherols to more closely approximate how vitamin E might be consumed in healthy foods. Folate is provided in the form of folic acid and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF)-the most bioactive form of folate. The form of 5-MTHF in this formula is Quatrefolic®†, which has been shown to have greater stability, solubility, and bioavailability compared to the calcium salt forms of 5-MTHF. Vitamins B2 and B6 are also provided in activated forms, and vitamin B12 is provided as methylcobalamin.

ActivNutrients provides generous levels of B vitamins, which serve as major coenzymes in glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, and as cofactors in amino acid and lipid metabolism. The balanced presence of B vitamins in this formula is essential for their cooperative functioning and excellent for those with stressful lifestyles.

The wide range of nutrients providing antioxidant activity in the formula includes natural vitamin E, vitamin C, selenium, zinc, beta-carotene and trace minerals. The balance of these provides effective antioxidant function; they often act synergistically to regenerate and maintain constant levels of antioxidant activity both intra and extracellularly stressful.

Xenobiotics, including environmental pollutants and drugs, must undergo biotransformation into molecules that can be readily excreted by the body. The formula contains significant levels of bioavailable riboflavin, niacin, folate and B12 to support Phase I detoxification, which is necessary to meet the increasing demands posed by xenobiotics and metabolic by-products. Beta-carotene, vitamin C, tocopherols, selenium, copper, zinc and manganese are present to protect tissues from reactive intermediates formed between phase I and phase II detoxification.
