Liquid Multi-Vitamins

Flavored or unflavored liquid multis are fast-absorbing, convenient pill alternativesThese liquid multivitamin formulas are convenient alternatives to swallowing capsules, tablets or softgels. Since liquid formulas lack significant amounts of bulky minerals such as calcium and magnesium, consider adding calcium in liquid, powder or pill form to your nutrition program.

Supplement Facts

Page 4: Multivitamins

“Government research shows that Americans have frank nutrient gaps. In fact, recent data show that a large portion of Americans fall below the estimated average requirement (EAR) for certain nutrients, specifically vitamins A, C, D, and E and magnesium and calcium, even when nutrient intake from diet, fortified foods, and supplements is considered.

Intake of some nutrients is low enough to be a public health concern. These include potassium, dietary fiber, calcium, and vitamin D, along with iron, folate, and vitamin B12 for specific population groups.6

From a clinical standpoint, MVMM [multivitamins and multiminerals] supplementation provides a safe way to correct these nutrient shortfalls while working with individuals to improve dietary intake of nutrients.”

assist with the biochemical processes that release energy from digested foods.

Vitamin A - Essential for healthy skin, hair, and mucous membranes. Required for normal vision. Needed for

proper tooth and bone development and for resistance to infection

Vitamin B-1 - Also known as Thiamine releases energy in food, appetite regulation, growth and muscle tone,

proper function of the heart and nervous system.

Vitamin B-2 - Riboflavin helps cells use oxygen. Important in metabolism of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.

Helps keep skin and mucous membranes (in mouth and lining of digestive tract) healthy.

Vitamin B-3 - Niacin - Participates in metabolism of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.. Helps cells use oxygen.

Promotes healthy skin, nerves, and digestive track. Aids digestion and fosters normal appetite.

Vitamin B-5 - Pantothenic Acid - Helps release energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Involved in

formation of hormones and nerve-regulating substances

Vitamin B-6 - Pyridoxine - Aids in metabolism of protein, fat, and. carbohydrates. Assists in formation of red

blood cells and antibodies. Involved in sodium-potassium balance.

Vitamin B-12 - Cyanocobalamin - Aids in formation of red blood cells. Maintains healthy nervous system. Aids

metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Essential for normal growth and development.

Vitamin C - Forms collagen to hold body cells together. Helps maintain walls of blood vessels and capillaries.

Helps maintain bones and teeth. Helps to heal wounds. Helps to absorb iron and aids resistance to infection.

Prevents destruction of B vitamins through oxidation.

Vitamin D - Increases absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Assists in several phases of calcium and

phosphorus metabolism, aiding in bone and tooth development. Seems to protect against colon cancer.

Vitamin E - Protects essential fatty acids and vitamin A from oxidation. Protects cell membranes. Protects red

blood cells. Helps cells use oxygen to yield energy.

Minerals are necessary for the proper function and structure of cells.

Minerals are also vital for the proper composition of body fluids, the formation of muscle and bones,

the maintenance of healthy nerve functions and the regulation of muscle tone.

Calcium - Needed for building strong bones and teeth and maintaining strong bones through life.

Required for normal muscle contraction and relaxation, heart action, nerve function, and blood

clotting.

Copper - Needed for hemoglobin and to make red blood cells. Forms protective coverings for

nerves. Part of several enzymes. May be involved with vitamin C in forming collagen. Needed in

respiration and release of energy.

Iodine - Part of thyroxine, a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland, which helps to regulate growth,

development, reproduction, and metabolic rate

Iron - Part of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to cells. Part of myoglobin, which makes oxygen

available for muscle contraction. Needed for use of energy by cells

Magnesium - Builds protein. Needed to release energy from food. Helps relax muscles after

contraction. Helps resist tooth decay. Needed for transmission of nerve impulses.

Manganese - Essential for iron-deficient anemia and boosts the immune system.

Phosphorus - Aids in building strong bones aids teeth. Activates vitamins for use. Needed for

transmission of nerve impulses

Potassium - Needed for muscle contraction, heart action, nerve transmission, fluid balance.

Involved in making proteins. Needed for maintenance of acid-base balance. Required for formation
