ULTRA MAN MULTIVITAMINS, Vitamins and Minerals, 180 caps
Ultra Man Multivitamins: we have developed a multivitamin that is specifically designed for man and another for women.
Why take vitamin-mineral supplements?
Vitamins and minerals promote essential biochemical reactions in the cells of the body. Men and women have similar nutrient requirements but they vary. We have developed a multivitamin that is specifically designed for man and another for women.
Multivitamins help support the cardiovascular system, the nervous, system, the circulatory system, tissue and cell regeneration, and muscular response. Vitamins and minerals together are called micronutrients.
A micronutreint deficiency can cause a disease or health problem that is most often reversed when the micronutrient is replenished. For centuries sailors on long voyages often suffered from brittle bones, bleeding gums, and even death. There was a suspicion that scurvy was caused by lack of fresh fruit, but the correlation was not proven until 1747. It was finally discovered that lemons and oranges prevented the disease, however it took until 1928 for a scientist to give the name "vitamin C" to the active ingredient that cured or prevented scurvy.
Vitamins and minerals are vital for all metabolic processes. They play a critical role in normal growth, proper digestion, hormone synthesis, energy metabolism, immune system response, nerve and muscular function, mental alertness, and numerous other body functions. Dietary imbalances can lead to gastrointestinal problems, decreased immunity, fatigue, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, cancer, stokes, and diabetes.
There is greater need to supplement you and your families nutritional needs today than ever before. Unfortunately, soils are often depleted of important nutrients. Although food is still produced, the soil is often not as vitamin and mineral rich as it was in the past. Not only do we eat nutrient depleted foods; many of our diets also consist of processed foods high in sugar and fat content. Adding this health hazard to continued exposure to pollution and industrial toxins, it is not surprising that we suffer from elevated risks of various forms of cancer, strokes, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and stress.
What are the essential vitamins and minerals?
There are thirteen vitamins. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble, and are stored in the body's fat. The other nine vitamins are vitamin C and eight B vitamins: thiamine B-1, riboflavin B-2, niacin, vitamin B-6, pantothenic acid B-12, biotin, and folic acid are water-soluble, and are not stored in the body to any significant degree. Vitamins are critical to the proper maintenance of our immune systems. They also act as catalytic agents in chemical reactions that enable our bodies to use fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
The human body also depends on fifteen minerals to help regulate cell function. Minerals consist of sodium, potassium, chloride, selenium, molybdenum, copper, fluoride, iodine, iron, manganese, calcium, phosphorous, mangnesium, chromium, and zinc.
Who benefits most from vitamin-mineral supplements?
Vitamins-mineral supplements should not be taken as a substitute for a healthy and nutritious diet. It is important to note that supplements should only be taken as adjuncts to an already healthful diet. The problem is only one person in ten consumes the recommended five servings of fruit and vegetables. Our fast paced lives often cause us to skip meals. Poor nutritional habits are further exacerbated by fast foods and fad diets. There is a convincing body of scientific evidence that vitamin-mineral supplementation optimizes health. A daily multi-mineral supplement may bolster your immune system and decrease your risk for infections.
You will benefit most from dietary supplementation of vitamins and minerals if you are in any of the following categories:
You do not eat a well balanced diet.
You skip meals.
You suffer from fatigue or stress.
You live in a large metropolitan and are exposed to toxins daily.
You travel frequently and are exposed to poor quality air.
You are older and your body needs more vitamin B-6, vitamin D, and calcium to protect against osteoporosis.
You are on a diet.
You have a disease of your digestive tract, liver, gallbladder, intestine, or pancreas.
You have had a previous surgery on your digestive tract which may interfere with normal absorption of nutrients.
You smoke. Smoking reduces vitamin C levels.
You consume too much alcohol.
You are pregnant or breast-feeding.
You are a vegaterian.
You have limited exposure to the sun.
You suffer from frequent colds and flu.
You work in a building or factory with no open windows and stagnant air.
You take oral contraceptives.
You exercise vigorously.
You drink an excessive amount of caffeinated drinks.
You have a family history of cardiovascular disease or cancer.
What are phytonutrients?
Plants provide important protective substances called phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are compounds in fruits and vegetables that protect plants from disease. Research indicates they also provide substantial health benefits to humans. Phytonutrients are not vitamins, minerals, or fiber. They are natural plant compounds of increasing interest for their potential medical and nutritional benefits. Phytonutrients appear to be in foods for good reason. They appear to protect DNA and other cell parts from oxidation, environmental pollutants, and carcinogens. They are important in fighting "free radicals" and aid the body in repairing tissues. In some instances, they may even prevent cancer. Since most people do not even get five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, a superior multi vitamin-mineral supplement should provide them.
What is RDA?
The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) was instituted by the U.S. Food & Nutrition Board as a standard for the daily amounts of vitamins needed by a healthy person. Unfortunately, the amounts they came up with give us only the bare minimum required to ward off vitamin deficiency diseases such as beriberi, rickets, scurvy, and night blindness. The RDA levels are based on a mythical person of "average" weight, average body fat content, average nutrient absorption, and average stress level. They do not account for many of us that are not "average". The RDA guidelines list the requirements necessary for borderline health rather than for maximum health.

Suggested Dosage: As a food supplement, take two tablets with a meal twice daily. Take vitamins in divided doses rather than in one large dose because it is easier for the body to absorb in smaller doses and is closer to the way the body naturally absorbs nutrients over the course of a day.
