Zinc Formula

Zinc is considered a beauty element and necessary for the health of the hair and nails. It is an essential mineral for the male prostate gland health and function and the growth of the reproductive organs (in both men and women). The prostate gland (and uterus) are both chiefly comprised of Zinc. Unbeknownst to most men, men lose approximately 2 mg of Zinc per ejaculation which can cause a zinc deficiency if itis not replaced thru the diet. Most men are deficient in Zinc and thus to the detriment of the prostate gland leading to a host of adverse prostate conditions that plaque men, mostly in the latter years of life.

Zinc helps promote the immune (defense) system, promotes the healing of wounds, is required for protein synthesis and collagen formation. It also promotes the acuity of taste and smell, and protects the the liver from chemical damage. A Zinc deficiency may result in the loss of the senses of taste and smell and can cause the fingernails to to become thin, peel, and develop white spots.

What happens when you don’t get enough Zinc?

It causes slow growth in infants and children, delayed sexual development in adolescents and impotence in men. Zinc deficiency also causes hair loss, diarrhea, eye/skin sores and loss of appetite. Weight loss, problems with wound healing, decreased ability to taste food, and lower alertness levels can also occur. Many of these symptoms can be signs of problems other than zinc deficiency.

Vitamin D

Overview:

Vitamin D is a family of fat soluble compounds labeled vitamins D1, D2 and D3. However, what makes vitamin D unique from other essential nutrients is the fact that the body can produce it after being exposed to sunlight. It can also be obtained from a proper diet. The production of vitamin D by the body can be blocked by several factors such as skin pigment or substances that block the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Therefore, the darker the skin , the less readily vitamin D is formed. Other factors that inhibit production are smog, fog, smoke, clothing, sun screen lotions and hats. In addition, as a person ages their ability to manufacture vitamin D decreases. As a result longer exposure to sunlight and a greater dependency to dietary sources is required to meet daily needs.

When relying on the diet as a primary or secondary source it is important to comprehend that vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient. All fat-soluble vitamins require at least a small amount of fat in the diet for optimal absorption. Any intestinal disorder that alters fat absorption will also impact vitamin D absorption. Vitamin D regardless of the method it was inquired are not readily excreted and are stored in the liver, skin, brain, bones and other tissues.

Primary Function:

Bones and Teeth: The primary function of vitamin D is to regulate the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. This is for the normal formation of bones and teeth. It also stimulates specialized cells in the intestines to absorb calcium and phosphorus. Vitamins D also prevents excessive urinary loss of calcium and phosphorus. Maintains normal blood levels of calcium and calcium and phosphorus to support mineralization of the bones and teeth.

Other Functions:

Cancer: Might aid in the prevention and healing from cancer by altering the growth rate of the cellular malfunction.

Hearing: Aids in the maintenance of all bones, including the small bones in the ear.

Immunity: Could assist with the regulation of normal immune system response, thus enhancing the defense of the body against infections and disease.

Insulin Secretion: Assists in the normal production and secretion of the hormone insulin from the pancreas.

Nerves and Muscles: Aids in the maintenance of a healthy nerve and muscle system by regulating the level of calcium in the blood. Calcium is necessary for normal nerve transmission and muscle contraction including the heartbeat.

Skin: Prevents, or at least reduces the severity of some inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis.

Deficiency:

Prolonged deficiency of Vitamin D can lead to changes in the bones of both of all ages and possible hearing loss with aging.

Hearing Loss: Slow, progressive hearing loss may be caused by an inadequate intake of vitamin D. This might cause the small, snail-shaped bone in the inner ear called the cochlea, to become porous. The cochlea would then be unable to transmit messages to the nerves that lead to the brain and hearing loss could result.

Osteoporosis: Low levels of vitamin D increase the risk of osteoporosis by reducing bone mass and density. Supplementation with a plant based source of vitamin D and calcium is advised. This will reduce the rate of bone loss and the incidence of bone fractures associated with osteoporosis. In addition, a gene regulating vitamin D receptors on cell membranes might influence bone density and result in a genetic predisposition for osteoporosis.

Cross Nutrient Interaction:

Vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and for depositing these minerals into the bones.

Cadmium can block the production of vitamin D.

Fat must provide approximately 10% of total dietary calories for adequate absorption of vitamin D.

Pantothenic Acid is required for the synthesis of vitamin D

 

FUNCTION: Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption and utilization of calcium and for the normal growth and development of teeth and bones. An added benefit is that it helps with the prevention of osteoporosis.

B-VITAMIN COMPLEX FORMULA

B-Vitamin Complex is a plant based supplement containing herbs naturally rich in B vitamins.  It will not only increase your mental and physical energy but it will support your metabolism and immune system. It promotes your blood and heart to be as healthy as they can be. And it will enhance a healthy response to stress so that you always feel your best. B-Vitamin Complex helps to maintain the overall health of the body, but is especially beneficial for the nerves, liver eyes and brain. Preventing depression and anxiety are additional benefits. Water soluble are generally not stored in the body, so it is important to get the necessary amount of them each day.

B vitamins are a class of water-soluble vitamins that play important roles in cell metabolism. Though these vitamins share similar names, they are chemically distinct compounds that often coexist in the same foods. In general, dietary supplements containing all eight are referred to as a vitamin B complex. Individual B vitamin supplements are referred to by the specific number or name of each vitamin: B1 = thiamine, B2 = riboflavin, B3 = niacin, etc. Some are better known by name than number: niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin and folate.

Each B vitamin is either a cofactor (generally a coenzyme) for key metabolic processes or is a precursor needed to make one.

B1 thiamine – A coenzyme in the catabolism of sugars and amino acids.

B2 riboflavin – precursor of cofactors called FAD and FMN, which are needed for flavoprotein enzyme reactions, including activation of other vitamins

B3 niacin – A precursor of coenzymes called NAD and NADP, which are needed in many metabolic processes.

B5 pantothenic acid – A precursor of coenzyme A and therefore needed to metabolize many molecules.

B6 pyridoxine  – A coenzyme in many enzymatic reactions in metabolism.

B7 biotin –  A coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes, needed for synthesis of fatty acids and in gluconeogenesis.

B9 folate – A precursor needed to make, repair, and methylate DNA. A cofactor in various reactions; especially important in aiding rapid cell division and growth, such as in infancy and pregnancy.

B12 cobalamins –  A coenzyme involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid metabolism and amino acid metabolism.

 

Why It Works?

Plant based source for all of the B vitamins that 100 % absorbable and bioavailable, unlike synthetic vitamins.

 

Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)

Thiamin plays avery important role in the conversion of carbohydrates to energy, a reason why B vitamins have been referred to as the “energy B’s”.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

Riboflavin plays an important role in producing energy from carbohydrates and fat. It is also involved in the metabolism and activation of other nutrients such as vitamin B6, vitamin A and folate. It indirectly helps keep cells from being damaged by free radicals because of its role in regenerating the antioxidant glutathione.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

Niacin is involved in energy production and is important for both the synthesis and breakdown of fat. It plays an essential role in the manufacture of cholesterol and cholesterol based hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol. Niacin helps with the formation of 7 -dehydrocholesterol, which is important for Vitamin D production in the skin when exposed to sunlight.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

Pantothenic acid is another B vitamin that plays a critical role in energy production, specifically the processing of carbohydrates, protein and fat for energy. It’s is also a component of coenzyme A, which is important for many cellular functions such as the manufacturing of red blood cells.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)

Pyridoxine plays a very important role in the formation of proteins used in the body for structural and functional purposes. It is essential for the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine (brain neurochemicals), histamine (important in immune system response), heme (a major component of red blood cells) and taurine (a non essential amino acid).

Vitamin B7 (Biotin, formally known as Vitamin H)

Biotin is involved in the production of energy from carbohydrates, some proteins and in the synthesis of fatty acids. When more calories are consumed than the body needs, excess carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles or can be transformed into body fat. Biotin is involved in both of these processes when it helps liberate glucose from glycogen and plays a role in the formation of fatty acids. Biotin is also important for the breakdown of the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, threonine and methionine when they are needed to generate energy.

Vitamin B9 (Folate or Folic Acid)

Folate is the form of this vitamin found in whole foods, while folic acid is the form found in supplements and fortified foods. Along with Vitamin B12, folate is critical for cell division. It is also useful for DNA replication and decreases blood levels of homocysteine, a substance associated with inflammation.

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)

Vitamin B12 is involved with the synthesis of DNA, functioning of the nervous system and helping to keep homocysteine level low in the bloodstream.  It also is valuable in the formation of red blood cells and energy production. Vitamin B12 is created by species of bacteria. It can be also made by bacteria in the large intestine, but unfortunately it is absorbed in the last part of the small intestine (the distal ileum) prior to reaching the large intestine. This vitamin can be difficult to acquire which is why supplements are recommended.

Choline

Choline is generally recognized as a member of the B-vitamin family. It is manufactured by the body from the amino acids methionine and serene. It’s used to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for a variety of functions in the brain and body. Choline is also involved in memory and is used to make phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, important parts of cell membranes

 

FUNCTION: B-Vitamin Complex is a water soluble vitamin formulated with herbs that are rich in each of the B Vitamins. Each B-Vitamin assists different bodily functions. B1 and B2 are important for healthy functioning of the muscles, nerves and heart. B3 helps regulate the nerves and digestive systems. B5 and B12 are required for growth. B6 supports the immune system. B7 is involved in the production of hormones. And B9 helps cells make and maintain DNA.
