INDICATIONS
- Support for optimal health
- Support for daily wellness
- FUNCTIONS AND MECHANISM OF ACTION
- Ultra Preventive® III has been carefully developed to contain adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals, andother beneficial nutrients and enzymes. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability,competitive relationship with other nutrients, and safety. The specific nutrients play vital roles and supportcellular, heart, cognitive and immune health, among other functions. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidantnutrient. It is essential for connective tissue and bone metabolism, capillary health, and immune function.Vitamin E is recognized as a fat-soluble antioxidant. It provides cell stabilization and supports cell membranes.
- Calcium and magnesium are included in a 1:1 ratio in bioavailable amino acid chelate and citrate forms tosupport bone and tissue health. Vitamin D is responsible for the absorption of calcium into the blood, andvitamin K2 supports deposition of blood calcium into bones and teeth. Thus, vitamin K2 is important for theproper distribution and utilization of calcium throughout the body.
- This formula contains methylated folate and vitamin B12, which are active forms of these nutrients.
- Hydroxycobalamin is a precursor form of vitamin B12 converted in the body to both methylcobalamin andadenosylcobalamin. While methylcobalamin is found in the cytosol of cells and is predominate in blood andother fluids, adenosylcobalamin is the major form of vitamin B12 stored in the mitochondria of cellular tissues.Folate is offered in this formula as Metafolin® 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), the universally metabolizedand biologically active form of folate.
- Choline acts as a methyl donor for homocysteine and folate metabolism in the methylation cycle followingconversion to betaine, and as a structural component of cellular membranes and synthesis of theneurotransmitter acetylcholine. Choline and inositol are lipotropic factors that support liver function andpromote healthy mobilization of fats and bile.
