Complete Balance™
Vitamins and minerals work together to keep the body growing and functioning normally. They help convert food into energy, keep cells healthy, and strengthen the immune system. Vitamins and minerals also help your body use the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats in your diet. A growing body of research shows that a daily multivitamin, when added to a well-balanced diet, can help reduce the risk of a number of chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Complete Balance™ accomplishes this and then some.
Poor nutrition is an open invitation to poor health. Research suggests that when you're not getting optimal levels of the vitamins and minerals your body needs, you may be at greater risk of developing certain health issues. But studies suggest that taking a daily multivitamin may improve your immune function.
Pregnant women have been advised for years that folic acid, when taken during childbearing years, may decrease the risk of spina bifida, neural tube defects, and other birth defects. Emerging research suggests that multivitamin use during pregnancy may offer protection against certain childhood illnesses.
Multivitamins may play a role in supporting heart health. And mounting evidence suggests that three B Vitamins - folic acid, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12-may help lower blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood. Additionally, several recent studies suggest a protective effect of supplemental levels of Vitamin E on cardiovascular health. More studies are needed to confirm this benefit.
You probably already know that calcium is critical for healthy bones. Yet it's difficult to get this nutrient through diet alone. Vitamin D is produced in the skin following direct exposure to sunlight. But necessary use of sunscreen, weak winter sunlight, and poor skin absorption all work against this vital nutrient. And while Vitamin D is added to milk, many people don't drink enough dairy products to benefit. Taking a multivitamin with 400 international units (IU) of Vitamin D can help.
Complete Balance comes in fast-dissolving gelatin capsules for more complete absorption; many hard-pressed tablets are commonly passed completely through your system with only a small percentage of them being absorbed. Complete balance is also made in limited runs so freshness and potency are superior to other brands which may sit in warehouses for months before making it to store shelves.
