Folic acid or folate is an important member of the B vitamin group and plays many crucial roles in your body:

• Helps maintain normal homocysteine levels in the blood.
• Nourishes the brain and supports mood.
• Supports protein metabolism.
• Supports energy production.
• Supports normal formation and function of red and white blood cells.

For folic acid to perform all these important tasks in your body, it must first be activated into the biologically active form - L-5-MTHF. Metafolin, a patented form of 5-MTHF, is:

• The form of folate your body prefers.
• More reliably bioavailable and biologically active than folic acid.
• The only folate that can cross the blood-brain barrier.

Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals provides highly effective amounts of an exclusive antioxidant preparation that helps balance the effects of free radicals.

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and molecular fragments that can affect your body at the cellular level. Free radicals constantly attack the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and DNA in your body, and if uncontrolled, they can cause potentially serious health problems. It is estimated that each cell in your body suffers 10,000 free radical hits every day. Your body tries its best to fight back, which is a real battlefield at the cellular level.

Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals differs from others by using chelated minerals - something many other manufacturers do not do.

Chelated minerals are minerals that have been bonded with amino acids or other molecules to create biologically available and more easily absorbable mineral complexes.

The chelated complexes in this product include magnesium, zinc, selenium, manganese, copper, potassium, boron, chromium, and molybdenum:

• Calcium - Dr. Mercola has chosen to include an optimal amount of calcium - 250 mg, to provide a high level of support for your skeletal system. The citrate, malate, and ascorbate forms of calcium contained in this product are better absorbed than mined forms of calcium, such as calcium oxide or calcium carbonate, which are more commonly found in supplements.
• Magnesium - scientific studies indicate that magnesium is useful for supporting the lungs and pulmonary system, as well as the entire body. As you age, you are more likely to be deficient in this important mineral. Recent research shows that magnesium may help protect your cells from the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields or non-ionizing radiation, which surrounds us 24 hours a day.
• Magnesium works with calcium and vitamin D and supports bone density health. It also helps maintain your muscular and nervous systems and supports a healthy heart and energy needs. Magnesium chelate is used because it is more absorbable than the more common and less absorbable magnesium oxide.
• Potassium - this important mineral plays a key role in your metabolism and the delicate balance of water and electrolytes in the body. Adequate potassium levels are essential for regulating heart rate, muscle function, healthy blood pressure, and nerve impulses.

Research has also shown that potassium is another important element for the health of your bone density. As you age, bone density and strength become important elements of your overall health. The form of potassium used in this product is a mineral chelate - again, a more absorbable form than potassium chloride.

These are just some of the important minerals included to provide you with significant health-supporting value when supplementing your diet.

Warning: A multivitamin overloaded with nutrients can do more harm than good

How is that possible?

Certain amounts and types of nutrients need to be carefully measured to prevent their potential toxic buildup after consumption.

Therefore, each ingredient in the Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals has been carefully evaluated and selected for its:

• Correct balance of nutrients - just as too little of a nutrient provides no real benefits, too much can potentially do more harm than good.
• Absorption - the key to supporting your health is absorbing as many nutrients as possible.
• Competitive relationship with other nutrients - Scientists conduct comprehensive evaluations to ensure that the amounts and types of nutrients work well together and benefit you.
• Allergenic potential - Careful selection and measurement of nutrients to explore possible allergy issues.
• Long-term safety - Balancing the potential accumulation of toxic substances.
• Proper use of bioactive forms of vitamins and minerals - all are, if possible, naturally occurring or bioidentical to those found in nature.
• Non-GMO - all vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in my preparation are not genetically modified.
• Dosage - to gain the full benefit of all vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients - Don't be misled by products claiming to provide a multivitamin preparation that requires only 1 or 2 tablets a day - you won't get enough essential vitamins and minerals.

Recommended dosage: Adults take eight (8) tablets daily with meals as a dietary supplement. Alternatively, take four (4) tablets with breakfast and four (4) tablets with dinner.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

WARNING: Children should not take the Multivitamin PLUS product. They are specifically designed for adult needs. An alternative for children can be found in the specially developed chewable multivitamin for children by Dr. Mercola.
