Vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids, rutin and quercetin are antioxidants that work synergistically and are better absorbed when taken together. Rutin and quercetin offer anti-inflammatory effect and are used in many countries for blood vessel protection.
Iodine, zinc, manganese and chromium are essential minerals. Iodine is required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiency is very common. Zinc is an essential mineral for growth and development, healthy immune function, reproduction and wound healing. Manganese plays a major role in the body as a constituent and activator of many enzymes, which are important for metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids and cholesterol. Chromium is important for metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Particularly, it is important for glucose metabolism and enhances the effects of insulin.
Bilberry and hawthorn have been used for centuries in traditional European herbal medicine. Bilberry is praised for its positive effect on the eye function, especially night-time visual acuity.

DHA and EPA are omega-3 fatty acids. Higher dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids is associated with decrease in cardiovascular disease risk and is beneficial in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases.
Carotenoids are naturally occurring fat soluble pigments in food. Think of bright red-orange color of tomatoes, bell peppers, salmon, caviar, shrimp. Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants that support immune function and normal cell growth. Mid-day formula includes lycopene from tomato, lutein and zeaxanthin from marigold extract, and astaxanthin from algae.
Coenzyme Q 10 is an important antioxidant and vitamin-like substance found throughout the body, but especially in the heart, liver, kidney and pancreas. It is made by the body; however, as we age, the level of CoQ 10 production decreases. CoQ 10 is beneficial for the heart, blood vessels, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, asthma and energy production in the body.
Copper, iron and selenium are essential minerals. Copper is involved in many functions in the body including energy production, iron metabolism, and functioning of the central nervous system. Iron is necessary for oxygen transport in the blood and production of red blood cells. It is also required for such essential functions as growth, reproduction, healing, and immune function. Selenium plays a role in thyroid function and is required for proper functioning of the immune system. It is also a potent antioxidant, especially when combined with vitamin E.
Folic acid is a vitamin B9. It is necessary for proper brain function and plays an important role in mental and emotional health. It aids in the production of DNA and RNA, the body’s genetic material, and is especially important when cells and tissues are growing rapidly, such as in infancy, adolescence, and pregnancy. Folic acid also works closely with vitamin B12 to help make red blood cells and help iron work properly in the body.
Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy development of red blood cells and nervous cells. Vitamin B12 and folic acid work together to produce SAMe, a compound involved in maintaining strong immune function and good mood.

Calcium, magnesium, molybdenum and potassium are essential minerals. Calcium is a major contributor to the strength of bones and teeth. It also plays a role in constriction and relaxation of blood vessels, nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction.
Magnesium and vitamin D are required for proper calcium absorption. Magnesium helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, steadies heart rhythms and supports the immune system. Additionally, magnesium helps regulate blood pressure and is required for energy production. It also contributes to the makeup of teeth and bones. Studies show that more than half of Americans are magnesium deficient.
Molybdenum is involved in many important biological processes, including development of the nervous system, waste processing in the kidneys, and energy production in cells.
Potassium is crucial to heart function and plays a key role in skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, making it important for maintaining normal digestive and muscular function. Potassium works synergistically with magnesium.
Chamomile, lemon balm and hops have been used for centuries in traditional European herbal medicine. Chamomile has soothing and relaxing properties, aids with insomnia and nervousness. It is also very beneficial for digestive system. Lemon balm possesses anti-viral and calming properties. Both chamomile and lemon balm are very gentle, although effective, so they are often suggested for children and babies. Hops has been used traditionally for nervous disorders and to help relieve anxiety and improve sleep. It also possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
