What is Bio-Multi Vitamin and Mineral?
The perfect everyday support for good health...
Bio-Multi Vitamin and Mineral is a composite nutritional supplement containing a range of 18 antioxidant vitamins and minerals,
together with other relevant micronutrients. These include as primary
antioxidants: vitamin A (as retinol), Chromium, vitamin B6, vitamin C,
vitamin E, and selenium; as secondary antioxidants: vitamins B1, B3, B5,
zinc, manganese, and copper; as supplementary nutrients: vitamin B2,
vitamin B12, folacin, biotin, vitamin D3, and magnesium.
Because
antioxidants act within the body in a synergistic (mutually supportive)
manner, multiple supplements are more effective than large amounts of
single antioxidants, hence the rationale for Bio-Multi Vitamin and
Mineral. Antioxidant levels may be depleted in individuals consuming a
diet with a high content of convenience foods, or individuals undergoing
vigorous physical exercise.
What do antioxidants do?
Free
radicals are toxic chemicals produced within the body as unwanted
by-products of normal metabolism. Additional free radicals may be
generated following exposure of the body to toxic chemicals (e.g.
pesticides, vehicle emissions), ultra-violet light, smoking and drinking
alcohol. The body is protected against free radical attack by
substances called antioxidants. Some antioxidants are manufactured
within the body, and others must be obtained from the diet. Some types
of antioxidant (e.g. vitamin E) are fat soluble, and preferentially
protect lipid components of cells (cell membranes) from damage, whilst
water-soluble antioxidant types (e.g. vitamin C) protect the main body
(cytoplasm) of the cell. An imbalance between free radical generating
and protective systems is known as oxidative stress. Avoidance of
oxidative stress helps to maintain healthy cardiovascular, nervous,
digestive and immune systems.
