Vitamin C (Acerola Cherry)
May support immune, cardiovascular, skin, cognitive, fat burning, and digestive health (97, 98).
May support immune health via increased oxidant, free radical scavenging, and fueling neutrophilic (immune cell) activity in chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and microbial killing (97,98).
May support fat burning by increasing carnitine biosynthesis (molecule required for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation) (97,98).
May support accelerated bone healing after a fracture, increased type I collagen synthesis, and reduced oxidative stress (inflammation) (98).
Vitamin B-12 (Methylcobalamin)
May support proper DNA synthesis, folate cycle function, energy production, cognitive function, and immune health (51,53).
Aids as an antioxidant via direct scavenging of reactive oxygen species (inflammation), preserving l-glutathione levels (master antioxidant), and reducing oxidative stress (51).
May support reduced vitamin b-12 deficiency pathologies such as anemia, neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis (53).
Zinc
May support immune function, skin health, cognitive function, and vision (172,173).
May support stimulation of the innate and adaptive immune system (172,173).
May support the activation of lymphocytes and activation of innate T cell-mediated immunity (172,173).
May support cognitive function by modulation of neuronal signaling in areas of the brain associated with memory and learning (hippocampus) (172,173).
Elderberry Extract
May support antioxidant function, cardiovascular health, and may aid as antiviral agent (231,232,233,234).
May support antioxidant function due to polyphenolic content, increased free radical scavenging ability, and reduced inflammatory cytokines (231,232,233)
May support antiviral activity against pathogens via flavonoids that bind to and reduce H1N1-type IV infection (234).
May support antimicrobial effects via reducing bacteria that cause upper respiratory tract infections (Gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes and group C and G Streptococci) (234).
Magnesium (di magnesium malate)
May support optimal nerve function, muscle contractions, cardiovascular, bone health, and decreased anxiety (90,91).
Supports biological reactions such as ATP-fueled reactions and pancreatic insulin secretion (90,91).
May support reduced systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglycerides, and healthy HDL levels (90,91).
May support reduced peripheral cortisol levels in the CNS and supports relaxation and decreased anxiety (90,91).
Calcium
May support bone health, muscle function, and cardiovascular health (36,37).
Regulates processes of bone resorption, mineralization, and fracture repair (36,37).
Increases the effect of physical exercise on bone mineral acquisition in the period preceding puberty (36,37).
May support reduced prevalence of preeclampsia (36,37).
Vitamin D3
May support exercise performance, immune health, muscle growth, optimal bone health, hormonal health, immune function, increased sexual health, cardiovascular health, glucose tolerance, increased strength, and positive mood (77,78,79).
May support hormonal health via high amounts of vitamin D receptor (VDR) activity in hormone based negative feedback loop reactions (77,78).
May support cardiovascular health via improved absorption of calcium, reduced atherosclerotic activity, stimulating cardiomyocytes, and improved vascular health (77,78).
May support exercise recovery via reduced post exercise inflammation and muscle damage (77,78).
May support sexual health via increased activity of Vitamin D receptor activity of testosterone production (79).
May support immune function via decreases of inflammatory cytokines and aiding immune cells (77,78).
May support joint health via regulating calcium and phosphorus and bone remodeling along with other calcium-regulating actions (77,78).
Potassium
May support reduced blood pressure and improved hydration in individuals with low potassium levels (262).
Pink Himalayan Salt
High in polyphenols, antioxidants, and may boost hydration.
