PolyVytamyns

Contains 4,000 mcg Biotin per serving.
High Potency Multi-Vitamin & Mineral Supplement

Overview
Our wellness dietary supplements are formulated with the following objectives in mind:

  • To provide compatible nutrient forms
  • To include generous amounts that make nutritional sense
  • To use highly bioavailable forms of the nutrients
  • To provide you with the rationale for the formula

Our goal is to provide you with supplements that optimize your health. To implement our objectives we adopted the following approach to supplementation:

A. Microcoating
B. Use of bioavailable nutrient forms
C. Avoiding "Cosmetic" amounts
D. Avoiding incompatibilities

Microcoating
Microcoating is a process where the granules of the individual compatible nutrients are coated before being mixed into the overall formula. Microcoating helps deliver maximum intact nutrients to your body. It also reduces oxidation of 17 key nutrients and prolongs shelf life.

Example 1:
Vitamin A, Beta Carotene, Vitamin E and Vitamin B12 oxidize by oxygen in the air while in the tablet thus losing 4 - 8% of their potency per month. These nutrients are better protected by microcoating.

Example 2:
Uncoated Chromium, Iron, Copper and Manganese found in regular vitamins can accelerate the decomposition of Vitamin A, K, D, Riboflavin and Pyridoxine in the tablet. Microcoating used in our PolyVytaMyns™ helps minimize this process.

Bioavailable Nutrient Forms
Improved bioavailability of nutrients refers to:

  • High absorption
  • Better utilization

Example 1:
Practically all citrus bioflavonoids in multi-formulas sold on the market are actually a "Bioflavonoid Complex." A citrus "Bioflavonoid Complex" is a crude non-soluble by-product of the citrus juice industry. Complex bioflavonoids usually contain 40-50% flavonoids locked in the crude orange rind and peel by-product. Since we do not digest cellulose, the flavonoids are not released. A "Bioflavonoid Complex" is not a bioavailable form of flavonoids, especially when small amounts are used. Our PolyVytaMyns™ formula uses generous amounts of the pure forms of the 3 bioflavonoids: pure hesperidin, naringin and hesperidin methyl chalcone.

Example 2:
B12 absorption is compromised in people with low or no stomach acid, and in strict vegetarians. PolyVytaMyns™ includes the active form B12 Hydroxycobalamine which is better absorbed and utilized than dietary B12. Also included in this supplement, is natural, water soluble Beta Carotene and Vitamin A. The uptake of fat soluble vitamins can be significantly enhanced when taken orally in water miscible forms.

Avoiding "Cosmetic" Amounts
"Cosmetic" nutrients included by many competitors in such small or insignificant amounts that their overall contribution to your nutritional needs are inconsequential. A case in Point: Biotin.

We have included 2mg (2000mcg) of Biotin per tablet as compared to 200 - 300mcg in other formulas. The main reason other formulas use "cosmetic" amounts of Biotin is its very high cost; 1 Kg of Biotin costs between $4,000.00 - $8,000.00. Biotin is supposedly made in "sufficient" amounts by the microflora in our gut; but with widespread intestinal health problems, sufficient production is not a guaranteed process.

Sufficient dietary amounts are needed because our limited Biotin intake is used in various processes:

  1. Helps maintain blood sugar control*
  2. Helps regulate protein systhesis*
  3. Is important in the metabolism of essential fatty acids*

Compatibility & Availability
For best delivery of nutrients to the human system, it is very important to understand the compatibility of ingredients. The best way to explain this point is by giving examples:

Example 1:
We have included small amounts of Calcium and Magnesium for the following reasons:

1. Calcium and Magnesium are macronutrients. We require significant amounts and tablet size constraints do not allow us to include large amounts of these minerals.

2. More importantly, vitamin absorption is optimal when included in a meal, while Calcium and Magnesium absorption is reduced when consumed with solid food. The reduction in absorption is even more pronounced in individuals with gastrointestinal problems.

Example 2:
We did not include Vitamin C in our PolyVytaMyns™ because: When Vitamin C is included in a multi-formula, chemical reactions with Selenium, Chromium, Manganese and Copper can easily occur in the tablet. Both Vitamin C and the minerals are thus altered. Microcoating the minerals before mixing avoids the above undesirable effect. Vitamin C can reduce copper absorption and bioavailability. Nutritionally significant amounts of Vitamin C cannot be included in each tablet due to space constraints. In addition, most people take a Vitamin C supplement.

Suggested Use: Take two capsules a day with a meal or as directed.

Warning: If pregnant, consult your physician before using this or any other product. Keep out of the reach of children.
