Nutrisure OTC-VC (VEG.CAPS)
Multiple Vitamin-Mineral-Trace Element Supplement Provides antioxidant and nutritional support (Vegetarian Capsule)
Nurisure by Westlake Labs is a comprehensive, highly concentrated vitamin-mineral-trace element supplement containing more than 30 essential nutritional ingredients. Nutrisure now contains Mewtafolin, a patentened form of (6S) 5 Methyltetrahydrofolate (5M-MTHF) is more than just another multivitamin supplement. It is a potent antioxidant formula with beta-carotene and natural vitamin E; a high-potency B-complex supplement; a significant source of bioavailable calcium and magnesium; and a full-spectrum trace element supplement. Nutrisure uses only the purest, most hypoallergenic ingredients and contains no yeast; corn; wheat; sugar or other sweeteners; artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Every batch is dated to guarantee a minimum of 100% of label claim for all ingredients up to the date printed on the label.
Functions
Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management and prevention of chronic diseases, especially those resulting from vitamin deficiency. Nutrisure has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements without danger of toxic build-up and without side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. We at Westlake labs take heavy metal contamination seriously and thus test our products routinely to assure quality. We offer a survey compared to big box store brands randomly obtained over the last year. Certain nutrients are purposely omitted (phosphorus); others, such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production and maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms, such as amino acid chelates and other scientifically validated and clinically superior forms. Body cells and tissues are threatened continuously by damage caused by toxic free radicals and reactive oxygen species (e.g., peroxides), which are produced during normal oxygen metabolism, by other chemical reactions and by toxic agents in the environment. Free radicals, once formed, are capable of disrupting metabolic activity and cell structure. When this occurs, additional free radicals are produced, which in turn can result in more extensive damage to cells and tissues. The uncontrolled production of free radicals is thought to be a contributing factor pathology of many degenerative diseases. The body’s antioxidant defense system is more than the sum of its parts. That’s because antioxidants depend on each other for ongoing effectiveness. For example, beta-carotene supports vitamin E, recognized as the body’s most valuable fat-soluble antioxidant. It prevents oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids by inactivating free radicals, thus stabilizing and protecting cell membranes, e.g. in the lungs, eyes, and arteries. Vitamin E can be regenerated by vitamin C. Vitamin C is a potent water soluble antioxidant nutrient, also protecting cells from oxygen free radical damage. It is essential for connective tissue and bone metabolism, capillary health, and immune function. Vitamin C works together with vitamin E. When vitamin E is inactivated by neutralizing free radicals, vitamin C regenerates it back to full activity. In this process, however, vitamin C is oxidized and loses its antioxidant activity.
As a cofactor of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), zinc can be considered an antioxidant nutrient. Zinc supplementation has been shown to increase the antioxidant activity of SOD, and provide increased free radical protection. Zinc deficiency is associated with increased oxidative damage.
Selenium is an essential cofactor of glutathione peroxidase, a potent antioxidant. Magnesium is involved in energy metabolism, and is notably important in the heart, skeletal muscles, and nervous system.
Indications
Nutrisure is ideal for individuals with vitamin, mineral and trace element deficiencies due to sub-optimal dietary intake, age and life style. For many individuals, Nutrisure is the only daily nutritional supplement and antioxidant formula they need to take and is specifically very low in the free metals Copper and Iron, which may contribute to oxidative stress by Fenton and Haber-weiss chemistry. Basic Antioxidant may be a useful dietary supplement for individuals who wish to increase their intake of antioxidants.
