IRON CHELATE
Organic, Highly Absorbable

Iron chelate is an extremely bioavailable source of iron that is well-tolerated by the body. While most forms of supplemental iron are irritating to the digestive system, this product provides a readily absorbed form of iron that virtually eliminates unpleasant side effects.

Produced through a special process that completely bonds iron to the amino acid glycine, the resulting iron chelate allows for easy absorption of iron without blocking absorption of other essential nutrients. Each capsule supplies 30 mg of elemental iron, twice the daily recommended amount, to help quickly replenish body iron stores.

Iron is an essential mineral needed for transport of oxygen to tissues, immune function, energy production, and cognitive development.

This product is recommended only for those individuals with iron deficiencies, anemia, bleeding disorders, or women with heavy menstrual periods. Iron supplements may also be appropriate for those that are not maintaining adequate iron through proper diet.

WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under the age of 6.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

ZINC CHELATE
Organic, Highly Absorbable

Zinc is an essential mineral that must be obtained daily from the diet. Found in almost every cell in the body, zinc is crucial for healthy metabolism as it activates more than 100 enzymes needed for biochemical reactions, including those that assist with protein synthesis and wound healing. For optimal assimilation, zinc in this supplement is combined with the amino acid glycine forming zinc glycinate, a well-absorbed “chelated” form of this essential mineral.

Some of the key functions zinc serves in the body include:

• Supports a healthy immune system
• Required for wound healing
• Helps maintain sense of taste and smell
• Needed for DNA synthesis
• Supports normal growth and development

Zinc is found in a wide variety of foods, including oysters, red meat and poultry, beans, nuts, certain seafood, whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals, and dairy products. Phytates, which are found in whole grain breads, cereals, legumes and other products, can decrease zinc absorption. Inadequate zinc status can result from poor absorption, chronic alcohol intake, digestive diseases, and poor diet.

Calcium Citrate-Malate
Organic, Highly Absorbable

Calcium citrate-malate is an easily absorbed and well-tolerated form of calcium. Calcium is an essential mineral required for healthy bone formation.

Calcium bound to natural fruit acids called citric acid and malic acid results in the calcium compound, calcium citrate-malate. This form of calcium has been shown to have a superior benefit compared to many calcium supplements as it allows for 40% more calcium absorption than calcium carbonate or milk. Calcium citrate- malate is easily digested and absorbed equally well with or without food.

Calcium is the basic bone-building mineral required by the body. Adequate calcium intake every day, over
a lifetime, is important for maintaining sufficient bone density as we age and reducing risk for osteoporosis, a progressive bone disease leading to fragile, porous bones. Risk for osteoporosis is also influenced by age, sex, race, exercise, and many other dietary and lifestyle choices. Calcium
citrate-malate is suitable for those individuals seeking a reliable, cost-effective source of calcium to enhance dietary intake. This product should be used in conjuction with a healthy diet and
exercise program.

MAGNESIUIM CHELATE
Organic, Highly Absorbable

Magnesium chelate is an easy-to-absorb, supplemental form of magnesium, a critical mineral element required as a cofactor in more than 300 enzymes. Magnesium plays a fundamental role in numerous cellular functions including energy production, skeletal and cardiac muscle function, neurochemical transmission, bone formation, insulin secretion, calcium, sodium and potassium balance, and synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Magnesium has numerous beneficial actions in the body, including:

• Muscle Relaxation: Magnesium exerts a relaxant effect on muscles by inhibiting calcium influx and smooth muscle contraction.
• Bone Formation: Magnesium is essential for bone matrix formation and helps maintain bone strength. Magnesium deficiency can result in low calcium and cause vitamin D abnormalities.
• Cardiovascular Function: Magnesium may play an important role in regulating blood pressure and cardiac rhythm and assisting cardiac muscle function.
• Blood Sugar Metabolism: Magnesium is involved in glucose metabolism and insulin action. More than 30% of diabetics are low in magnesium. Low levels have been linked to insulin resistance and abnormal glucose tolerance.

Many common magnesium supplements, including magnesium oxide and inorganic magnesium salts, have limited solubility and bioavailability and may induce adverse gastrointestinal side effects including diarrhea in some individuals. In contrast, magnesium chelate contains a well-tolerated form of magnesium that is easy to digest and absorb.

While magnesium salts must first dissociate into a free magnesium ion before it can be absorbed either through passive absorption or bound to amino acid carriers present in the diet, magnesium chelate contains magnesium pre-attached to an amino acid carrier. This allows it to pass readily through the intestinal epithelium. In addition, although absorption of free magnesium ion is susceptible to interference by other nutrients, absorption of magnesium chelate is not disrupted by other nutrients. As a natural absorptive form, magnesium amino acid chelate is exceptionally well-tolerated and has a very low incidence of adverse side effects.

Magnesium deficiency is common among all age groups. Food processing is a major cause of magnesium depletion. As much as 85% of the magnesium content of whole wheat is lost when refined to white flour. Deficiencies may also be caused by excessive calcium intake, moderate-to-excessive alcohol consumption, gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, kidney dysfunction, and the use of some diuretics, estrogens, and corticosteroids.

This product can be used by adults or children who wish to increase daily magnesium intake.
