Basic Vitamins

Vitamins are nutrients required in very small amounts for essential metabolic reactions in the body. The term vitamin does not include other essential nutrients such as dietary minerals, essential fatty acids, or essential amino acids, nor does it encompass the large number of other nutrients that promote health but that are not strictly essential.

Vitamins are biomolecules that act both as catalysts and substrates in chemical reactions. When acting as a catalyst, vitamins are bound to enzymes and are called cofactors. (For example, vitamin K forms part of the proteases involved in blood clotting.) Vitamins also act as coenzymes to carry chemical groups between enzymes. (For example, folic acid carries various forms of carbon groups–methyl, formyl or methylene–in the cell.)

Until the 1900s, vitamins were obtained solely through food intake. Many food sources contain different ratios of vitamins. Therefore, if the only source of vitamins is food, changes in diet will alter the types and amounts of vitamins ingested. However, as many vitamins can be stored by the body, short-term deficiencies (which, for example, could occur during a particular growing season) do not usually cause disease.

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient that is involved in a variety of biochemical reactions. It is perhaps best known as a co-factor for the biosynthesis of the structural protein, collagen, thus adding strength and elasticity to skin, blood vessels, and bone. Vitamin C is also well known as an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals and reactive oxygen species to protect against oxidative damage to fatty acids, proteins, and DNA.

The importance of vitamin C is seen clearly in scurvy, a life-threatening vitamin C deficiency disease that results in loss of energy, depression, mood disorders, poor wound healing, and connective tissue disorders, culminating in death.

Olives are a rich source of over 30 phenolic compounds, which impart the pungent, bitter taste to olive oil. OleaSelect Olive Fruit Polyphenols are particularly rich in the flavonoids tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, and verbascosides. These phytoantioxidants protect against oxidation of LDL cholesterol and promote healthy circulation.
Indena OLEASELECT™ is a patented olive pulp extract from a selected Italian variety of olive, particularly rich in polyphenols.

Serving size: 2 capsules per day

Jarrow Formulas Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is from purified fish liver oil and is free of Vitamin A. Fat-soluble Vitamin D3 is converted by the kidneys into the hormone calcitriol, the activated form of Vitamin D3 which affects a variety of target tissues including bone, intestine, muscle, brain, skin and immune system cells. Calcitriol enhances calcium and phosphorous absorption and stimulates the synthesis of osteocalcin, an important structural protein in bone. Also, calcitriol is involved in proper cell differentiation (changing of cell function), including prostate cells.

Serving size: 1 softgel daily, Do NOT take more than 2 softgels per day without medical supervision.

Amount per serving 1 softgel:

10 mcg (400 IU) Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
