Body Complete

Vitamins and minerals work together synergistically. It has been researched and discovered that it is better to take or consume the essential nutritional components in a multi-vitamin and mineral complex instead of individual ingredients because of their bioavailability when taken together. Body Complete contains essential phytonutrients and amino acids. This combination assures that Body Complete contains all the nutrients necessary for today’s active lifestyles. Take 4 capsules daily. For maximum efficiency, it is recommended that you take them throughout the day. Small children should take 2 daily.

Essential in food metabolism, especially carbohydrates and fats. Promotes healthy skin, blood cells, mucus membranes, and the nervous system. Among other important features, Vitamin B12 is required for proper digestion, absorption of foods, the synthesis of protein, and the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Strict vegetarians are reminded that they require Vitamin B12 supplementation, since it is found almost exclusively in animal tissues.

Vitamin C (Calcium Ascorbate)- This water-soluble vitamin is well known for its ability to advance wound healing. Vitamin C supplementation is said to moderate the severity of the common cold and reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma, the inflammation of periodontal disease and intolerance to heat. Vitamin C helps concentrate vasodilating prostaglandin’s to help relieve chest tightness in asthmatics. It can help reduce serum cholesterol and triglycerides levels, which are risk factors in heart disease and atherosclerosis. Vitamin C is essential in replacing and strengthening connecting tissues of the body. As an antioxidant, it can reduce the effects of pollution, antibiotics, steroids, and oral contraceptives.

Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)- A fat-soluble vitamin supports healthy bones and calcium and phosphorus absorption. It is involved in the regulation of the heartbeat and necessary for thyroid function and normal blood clotting. Can be received naturally by sunlight, 15 minutes per day, three (3) times per week. In high-polluted areas, more vitamin D is needed.

Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols)- Fat soluble and specially suited to protect the oily portion of the body’s cells. The body needs a combination of oil and water-soluble antioxidants. Essential for health in the adrenal and pituitary glands. It improves circulation and is necessary for tissue healing and repair. Inhibits oxidation of lipids (fats) and the formation of free radicals. It protects other fat-soluble vitamins and retards aging. Mixed Tocopherols are considered the most potent form of all of the Vitamin E molecules.

Magnesium- This “anti-stress” mineral has a vast regulating effect on muscle contracting/relaxing and bone strengthening. It is used in nerve function and low magnesium levels are believed to be associated with psychiatric problems. Deficiency plays a key role in all diseases, regulated by constriction of the heart and circulatory system; including heart attacks, strokes, migraine headaches, and kidney stone formation.

Iron- This “anti-anemia” mineral aids in transporting oxygen to the cells and blood. It is responsible for the production of hemoglobin and myoglobin. Important in protein synthesis.

Potassium- Plays crucial role in nourishing and cleaning cells. Assists in carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis, and muscle contraction and nerve impulse conduction. Converts glucose into glycogen for storage. Potassium supplementation in research animals has shown a significantly reduced number of strokes.

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf- Known as the “smart herb”, traditionally used to treat poor circulation. Helps increase blood flow to the heart, brain and all body parts. It is useful in treating age-related brain disorders, cerebral and vascular insufficiency, Raynaud’s disease, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and to prevent strokes. It is said to improve memory and relieve muscle pain. Has been shown to slow early progression of Alzheimer’s.

L-Lysine- Strengthens circulatory system. Speeds wound healing, maintains normal growth of cells, helps control viral related diseases. Lysine is needed for calcium absorption. The body cannot supply this essential amino acid; therefore a supplement is necessary.

L-Proline- Coats interior walls of vessels and prevents re-absorption of toxins. It improves skin texture by aiding in collagen production. Proline is primarily obtained from meat sources.

L-Glutamine- The most abundant free amino acid found in the muscles of the body. It can readily pass the blood-brain barrier and is known as brain fuel. It promotes mental ability and the maintenance of a healthy digestive tract. Supplemental glutamine is especially good for body builders and weight lifters.

L-Arginine- An essential amino acid in the growth period because the body cannot make it fast enough to meet the rapid growth requirements of children. 80% of male seminal fluid is made of arginine. It enhances the immune system and detoxifies the blood. It is excellent for repair and healing of damaged tissue. It is important for muscle metabolism.

L-Histidine- An essential amino acid that is significant in the growth and repair of tissues. It protects nerve cells and is needed for the production of red and white blood cells. Histamine is released during trauma and stressful conditions sometimes causing allergies and as histidine increase, histamine decreases. Histamine aids in sexual arousal especially when supplemental histidine is taken. It is transformed with the assistance of B vitamins to histamine; improved sexual function may result. Helpful for people with indigestion.

Biotin (Vitamin H)- Essential for the normal growth of all body tissues and cells, utilization of B complex vitamins, maintenance of skin, hair, all secreting glands, nerves, bone marrow, and male sex hormones. It assists in the formation of enzymes.

Calcium- Main constituent of teeth and bones. Helps regulate blood pressure, excitability of nerves and contractibility of muscles and heart. Helps control blood clotting and required for absorption of B-12. Aids in manufacture of acetylcholine, which helps transmit nerve impulses. Provides energy and structures protein of RNA and DNA.

Phosphorus- Vitamin D and calcium are necessary for proper phosphorus function. Combines with many metals and organic acids to perform a great variety of essential chemical reactions in the body. Vital for cell division and reproduction. Promotes secretion of hormones and maintenance and repair of the entire system. Normalizes blood pressure.

Horsetail Herb- Increases calcium absorption. Strengthens the heart and lungs. Mainly used as urinary tract astringent and diuretic. Eases painful urinary tract spasms. Helps heal wounds and hair damage.

White Willow Bark- (Active ingredient, salicylic acid, base molecule of aspirin). Lowers fever, contains

pain-relieving analgesic, and acts as an anti-inflammatory. Excellent for nerves, stomach kidneys, and intestines.

Zinc- Zinc is a constituent of the antioxidant enzyme super oxide dismutase (SOD). Necessary for the action of the B complex vitamins. One of the main healing minerals for healthy hair and proper digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and essential for sugar conversion. A component of more than 60 enzymes including those essential to manufacturing the body’s natural antioxidants. Important for healthy skin and nails, effective wound healing, normal pregnancies, male virility, and sense of taste.

Manganese- (see AES Formula). Trace mineral, which helps the body to produce healthy connective tissue. Important in energy, protein, and fat metabolism. Essential for proper function of the nerves, the pituitary gland and other glands.

Selenium- Strengthens the immune system by increasing antibody production in the body. It assists the body in utilizing oxygen and assists growth. Inhibits oxidation of lipids (fats). It works in tandem with Vitamin E very effectively. Prevents free radicals.

Garlic (Odorless)- Has antibiotic, hypocholesterolemic, hypotension, and antithrombotic properties. Garlic has been found helpful in treating a myriad of conditions: circulatory, urinary, respiratory and digestive problems. It is effective against infections, lowers blood sugar, regulates cholesterol, reduces low-density lipoproteins and stabilizes blood pressure while raising high-density lipoproteins. Stimulates more urine flow and production of bile to help digestion. Shown to be an effective immune stimulant.

Citrus Bioflavanoids- (Vitamin P). A cofactor which increases the body’s absorption and use of Vitamin C. Prevents blood cells and blood platelets from clumping together. They have been shown to have an antibiotic like activity. The human body cannot produce Bioflavanoids, so they must be supplemented.
