Multivitamin MegaForte

Experts say there is definitely a place for vitamin or mineral “supplements” in our diets, but their primary function is to fill in small nutrient gaps. They are “supplements” intended to add to your diet, not take the
place of real food or a healthy meal plan.

Your body only needs a small amount of vitamins and minerals every day. A varied diet generally provides enough of each vitamin and mineral. However, some people may need supplements to correct deficiencies of particular vitamins or minerals.

People who may benefit from vitamin and mineral supplements include:

• pregnant women
• women who are breastfeeding
• people who drink alcohol above the amount that is recommended for reducing risk of disease (one standard drink a day for non-pregnant women and two for men)
• cigarette smokers
• illegal drug users
• crash dieters or people on chronic low-calorie diets
• the elderly (especially those who are disabled or chronically ill)
• some vegetarians or vegans
• women with excessive bleeding during menstruation
• people with allergies to particular foods
• People with malabsorption problems such as diarrhea, celiac disease, or pancreatitis.

Women planning a pregnancy should consider taking folic acid (folate) supplements to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the baby. Folic acid can also be found in some fortified foods such as some breads. Foods fortified with folic acid have the nutrient added to them during production to boost their nutritional value.

Apart from the complete range of vitamins and minerals, Multivitamin MegaForte is fortified with the following ingredients that make it a specialized multivitamin and minerals product.

L-Cysteine: Taking L-cysteine for hair growth is a natural way to improve the health of your hair through nutrient intake. L-cysteine is one of few amino acids found in the body that has the ability to make what are called disulfide bonds. Such bonds are extremely important for giving hair its long, strong fibrous properties that hold in moisture, help maintain thickness and give each strand its shine.

L-Glutathione: Reduced L-glutathione is a natural compound made in the body from the amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. As the body’s major cellular antioxidant, reduced L- glutathione is crucial for scavenging damaging free radicals. It is also required for the body’s natural immune response and is important in the cellular detoxification of damaging chemicals like smoke, heavy metals, and drug metabolites. Reduced L-Glutathione also contains magnesium, an essential mineral that plays a role in maintaining antioxidant status.

Echinacea Purpurea: Echinacea purpurea stimulates the overall activity of the cells responsible for fighting all kinds of infection. Unlike antibiotics, which directly attack bacteria, Purple coneflower makes our own immune cells more efficient at attacking bacteria, viruses and abnormal cells, including cancer cells. It increases the number and activity of immune system cells including anti-tumor cells, promotes T- cell activation, stimulates new tissue growth for wound healing and reduces inflammation in arthritis and inflammatory skin conditions.

Siberian Ginseng: Siberian ginseng was traditionally used to prevent colds and flu and to increase energy, longevity, and vitality. It is widely used in Russia as an "adaptogen." An adaptogen is a substance that is supposed to help the body better cope with either mental or physical stress.

Citrus Bioflavonoids: Citrus Fruits and certain vegetables have been renowned for years for providing essential nutrients such as vitamin C. Today, nutritional scientists have discovered a group of bioactive
flavonoids that enhance the effects of vitamin C and provide a powerful defense against oxidative stress.

Bioactive flavonoids, vitamin P, are found in living fruits and vegetables. The various bioflavonoids found in citrus include hesperidin, quercetin, diosmin, naringin, &rutin among others. These phytonutrients are vital for proper absorption of Vitamin C. In fact, studies have proven their ability to enhance and prolong the action of vitamin C.

In addition, the supplement also contains Coenzyme Q 10, a substance that helps convert food into energy. CoQ10 is found in almost every cell in the body, and it is a powerful antioxidant.
