Research Information

Supplementation with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients can have direct and indirect benefits for numerous bodily systems, including supporting normal antioxidant processes, detoxification, digestion as well as absorption of nutrients, circulation, protein synthesis, and immune function (1).

Vitamin C and zinc are essential for healing and immune function, and work alongside vitamin E and other nutrients to support skin health and antioxidant defences. Vitamin C is needed for the immune system and has been shown to reduce the number of colds in people under physical stress (2, 3).

Calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus are essential for the development and maintenance of bones and teeth, and vitamins D3 and K2 support the absorption and activity of these minerals (4, 5). Vitamin K2 is the most bioavailable, longest lasting, and most bioactive form of vitamin K and has been shown to promote bone health (6).

A 10-year population-based study evaluated 9,382 men and women over the age of 25. The study revealed a significant association between calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and improved bone mineral density. Participants taking vitamin D in doses greater than 400 IU per day had significantly higher bone mineral density in the hip region (7).

B vitamins are also essential for the synthesis of neurotransmitters including serotonin, and support the health of the nervous system, skin, mucous membranes, and red blood cell production (8). Several studies have associated B vitamin complexes with decreased feelings of workplace stress and strain (9).

B vitamins are also needed for the conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy, but for the body to use B vitamins effectively, they must be converted into their metabolically active coenzyme forms. Many people have genetic differences that impair this conversion process, but coenzymated B vitamins are metabolically active nutrients that the body can use directly.

Rhodiola rosea is an adaptogen that has been traditionally used in Russia and European countries to fight fatigue. Clinical trials have found that this herb supports energy and mental performance in people feeling “burnt out”. In one study, people experiencing stress who took 200 mg of Rhodiola twice a day for four weeks had a significant decrease in symptoms such as exhaustion, irritability, feelings of anxiousness, impaired concentration, and loss of zest for life (10).

Iron is a mineral that is critical to human health for its roll in the formation and proper function of red blood cells. This formula provides 15 mg of iron in the form of ferrous bisglycinate, an iron chelate that is gentler on the stomach and easier for the body to absorb than other forms of iron. Research shows that the body modulates the amount of iron absorbed from ferrous bisglycinate according to blood hemoglobin level, which may also make this a safer form of iron supplementation (11).

Cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, are a source of vitamins and minerals as well as polyphenols that support normal detoxification processes and estrogen metabolism. An analysis of 13 clinical studies found that regular consumption of cruciferous vegetables could help support breast tissue health (12, 13).
