Developed based on a thorough review of the scientific evidence, NutraOrigin's NutraMulti formula includes only ingredients with documented efficacy and safety, and contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. The ingredients described below will give you a better understanding of how NutraMulti works to create a complete foundation for peak health.*

Antioxidants
Every day, you are assailed by harmful free radicals that attack your cells and DNA. Antioxidants are capable of protecting your cells from these harmful free radicals. Each of the following ingredients has powerful antioxidant activity, while also performing specific functions in the body.

Vitamin A (as beta carotene)
Your eyes need vitamin A for healthy vision; in fact, one of the first signs of a vitamin A deficiency is poor nighttime vision.* (1) Your skin needs vitamin A for maintenance and healing.* (1) Getting enough vitamin A may help you look younger by protecting against UV-induced skin damage.* (2) Your immune system needs vitamin A to help it maintain your natural resistance.* (1)

NutraMulti features beta-carotene, the water-soluble precursor of vitamin A, so there is no chance for toxic build-up.

Vitamin C (as buffered calcium ascorbate)
Vitamin C is necessary for the synthesis of collagen.* Because collagen is an important part of your connective tissue - found in the skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone, fat and even blood - it is critical for wound healing.* (3) Your immune system also relies on vitamin C to function normally, and the summary of evidence from human clinical trials indicates that taking the vitamin every day can boost your immune response to immune challenges.* (4)

NutraMulti includes vitamin C as buffered calcium ascorbate, a non-acidic form that is gentle on the stomach.

Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol succinate)
Vitamin E is taken up by the endothelial cells that line the blood vessels, where it helps keep veins, arteries and capillaries clean and flexible.* (5) Vitamin E also inhibits the production of some pro-inflammatory chemicals, which has the net effect of dilating the blood vessels and inhibiting platelet aggregation.* (5) These actions may explain why some population studies have found a positive association between vitamin E intake and cardiovascular health.* (6,7)

Whereas most products use the cheaper, poorly absorbed synthetic vitamin E, Nutra Multi includes the naturally derived, preferred form of vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol succinate) for optimal absorption.

Minerals
Minerals perform a number of different important functions in the body. Since the American diet frequently provides inadequate amounts of minerals, supplementation is often recommended. Importantly, though, all mineral forms are not the same. Commonly used inorganic minerals, such as sulfates and carbonates, are difficult to absorb. Chelated minerals, on the other hand, are in their highly absorbable, organic form - the only form the body can use. NutraOrigin utilizes minerals that are chelated, or bound, with Krebs Cycle metabolites. Krebs Cycle chelated minerals are believed to be better absorbed than inorganic minerals. (8)

Calcium, magnesium, manganese, boron and potassium all play a role in supporting bone and/or muscle health.* The amounts of calcium and magnesium included in NutraMulti are considered supportive; for full-potency bone protection, consider using Osteozol in addition to NutraMulti.

Other minerals included in NutraMulti include iodine, essential for healthy thyroid function, zinc, necessary for immunity and reproduction,* copper and iron, used in the production of hemoglobin, chromium, which aids insulin in shuttling glucose from the blood stream to the cells, molybdenum, used to help metabolize amino acids by acting as a cofactor for the sulfite oxidase enzyme, silica, needed for healthy hair, skin and nails, and vanadium, which may support healthy blood sugar levels.*

B Vitamins
As a group, the B vitamins are essential for the production of energy and maintaining the health of the nervous system, which is why people who take a daily multivitamin often report having more energy and feeling less stressed.* The B vitamins also aid with protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism.* Each B vitamin additionally plays its own unique role in human physiology.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)
Vitamin B1 is needed to produce energy in the brain, and several studies indicate it may improve mild memory problems associated with aging.* (9)

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Vitamin B2 regenerates, or brings back to life, glutathione - one of the body's most important antioxidants.*

Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin B3 plays several important functions in the body, including maintaining balanced blood sugar levels and participating in antioxidant and detoxification reactions.*

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
The body uses vitamin B5 to make adrenal hormones that help the body respond to stress - hence the nickname "the anti-stress vitamin."* It is also needed to manufacture red blood cells.*

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Because it is necessary for proper cell reproduction, vitamin B6 is especially important to cells that divide and grow rapidly, such as the cells of the immune system, mucous membranes, skin, red blood cells and developing fetus.*

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) and Folic Acid
Both vitamin B12 and folic acid are used to produce DNA, the myelin sheath (the protective coating surrounding nerve cells) and red blood cells.* In fact, a deficiency in either vitamin can cause anemia.* About 9 percent of the U.S. population is deficient in vitamin B12, while another 11 percent is borderline-deficient. (10) More than 10 percent of Americans are deficient in folic acid. (11)

Biotin
Biotin is primarily known for its role in promoting healthy hair, skin and nails.*

Choline and Inositol
While not officially B vitamins, choline and inositol are usually grouped with the Bs because of their similar functions. The body relies on choline to manufacture acetylcholine - a neurotransmitter associated with healthy brain functioning.* Both choline and inositol support liver health by preventing fat from building up in the liver.*

Protective Nutrients
Two nutrients in particular have been heavily investigated for their protective benefits: vitamin D and selenium.

Vitamin D is a not actually a vitamin but a hormone. It has been the subject of a tremendous amount of research over the past decade, as study after study points to its importance to human health.

Population studies have consistently correlated high intakes of vitamin D with better breast, colon and prostate health.* This is probably because the vitamin plays a role in normal cell growth and differentiation.* (12) Research has also shown that people who consume higher amounts of vitamin D are more likely to enjoy cardiovascular health than those who ingest lower amounts.* In fact, observational studies have found a connection between vitamin D and blood pressure, arterial health and overall cardiovascular health.* (12)

Selenium, an essential mineral, is an important building block for the creation of glutathione peroxidase, one of the body's most significant antioxidant enzymes for inhibiting free radicals.*

Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.

Research has shown that blood levels of selenium decrease significantly with age. (13) This may result in reduced antioxidant activity.*
