We believe this multivitamin and mineral supplement is ideal for those over 50 (although any adult over 50 can take it) who need a good level of iron and vitamin E. It is routinely recommended by many nutritionists as their preferred choice. This multivitamin includes high levels of vitamin A, which supports the maintenance of normal skin and vision, as well as important levels of B vitamins, which contribute to the normal function of the immune and nervous systems and normal energy-yielding metabolism, also helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue. A comprehensive range of trace minerals also reinforces this formula. These include selenium, iron, zinc, and copper, which contribute to the normal function of the immune system; important support for sports or routine exercise at this age. Powerful antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, plus the minerals selenium and copper, provide protection to cells against oxidative damage, along with grape seed extract, added to this formula. Furthermore, recent dietary surveys have revealed that a significant proportion of people over 50 do not meet the recommended nutrient intakes (RIs) for some micronutrients. Of particular concern among this age group are vitamins D, B-12, and calcium. Calcium and vitamin D are known to contribute to reducing bone demineralization in postmenopausal women, and vitamin B12 contributes to normal psychological function and homocysteine metabolism. Multi-Max® can also be taken with Osteoguard® if additional calcium and magnesium is needed. Alternatively, our MultiGuard® OsteoAdvance 50+ provides a similar spectrum of micronutrients plus lutein, herbal extracts, and impressive levels of calcium and magnesium.
