Multi Action Vitamins™
Mental Clarity™

Why take a mere multi vitamin/mineral combination when you can give it a powerful whole health focus and literally have both body and mind benefits?
 
We have created here a formulation that takes care of your daily vitamin needs plus stimulates your mind to work at its best. The inclusion of idebenone, a powerful stimulator and energizer of the brain, makes this a valuable supplement for daily mental activity. One can take a dose of two capsules in the morning, like any other vitamin, or one capsule twice a day, when feeling fatigued, un- concentrated, etc.
It contains not only the normally seen vitamins and minerals but also rare trace minerals, practically never included sugars (carbohydrates) and choline, in order to truly complete the full spectrum of essential nutrients.
Additionally it contains ingredients that enhance the intended effect of the primary components by increasing their bio-availability and speeding the noticeable effect.
 
What are the main benefits of the Mental Clarity ™ multi-vitamins?
  •      Vastly improves alertness, memory, mental clarity, and concentration (through idebenone, glycine and choline).
  •      Reduced fatigue with lesser chance of needlessly dozing off during working hours and missing out on recreational time.
  •      Increased absorption and metabolism of the formula ingredients through Bioperine, and bio-dynamic herbal extracts.
  •      This best possible multi vitamin/mineral combination helps maintain optimal health, lessens the chance of developing chronic illnesses and gives extra energy.
  •      Additional energetic and spiritual balance through the rare salts and trace minerals from gem stones makes this a one of a kind holistic formulation.
 
Who needs to take a “Multi-vitamin/mineral formula (MVM)” ?
  • Everybody who does not eat a 100% organic diet consisting mostly of fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, grains and fish. (Analyses have shown that non organic raised produce is often depleted of trace minerals.)
  • All who want more vitality and energy and consider good health to be more than surviving through an eight hour work day.
  • People interested in maximally slowing down the onset of chronic diseases.
  • Athletes, people involved in extra strenuous projects, whether physical or mental.
  • All who have special needs such as during pregnancy, illnesses, stressful situations, recovering from trauma or surgery, older individuals.
  • Essentially all people since it is virtually impossible to obtain a full complement of vit D, K, trace minerals, selenium, zinc, folic acid, chromium, etc.
Ingredients:

 
Vitamin/Mineral Mix
This is a very up to date and comprehensive formula of daily multiple vitamins and minerals. It not only strives to give the full 100% daily value for essential nutrients, but it also takes into consideration the recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences. It includes several significant conditionally essential ingredients that optimize health but for which there is no established daily value yet. Choline,for example, is of great importance to the brain but is not considered to be an essential nutrient by the government offices (although there is ample evidence to support this use). Over 19 of the present components are at 100% DV, exceptions being only required minerals like magnesium, potassium and calcium for which such large amounts are needed that making them available in a daily multiple vitamin/mineral would be impractical (see Calcium AM and PM and some of our other products). The vitamin A content is purposely less than 100% DV since this has been found to be a safer amount. Vitamin K, available usually only in the mid range DV’s is present here in full amounts.
 
Idebenone
A powerful analog of the enzyme CoQ10 which is proven in studies and by individual reports to help in the following areas:
  • Mental awareness, memory, analytical thinking, creative processes, emotional stability and concentration; works by enhancing the information transfer across the corpus callosum, a part of the brain that connects the right and left parts of the brain;
  • Protects from excesses of excitatory substances that occur for example with frequent ingestion of artificial sweeteners, MSG or after trauma;
  • Increases serotonin, adrenalin, dopamine and other neurotransmitter levels which ultimately improves the mood; possibly enhances the effect of SSRI anti depressants; may help weight loss through appetite control;
  • By increasing the so called nerve growth factor in the brain, being a strong anti- oxidant, improving glucose utilization in the brain, enhancing the absorption of tyrosine and through other mechanisms it helps to restore normal nerve function after strokes, age related nerve degeneration, conditions like multiple sclerosis, etc;
  • Helps increase the strength of the heart by improving the function of the mitochondria, the power house of cellular metabolism;
  • An ideal and appropriate anti-aging substance, by virtue of being an anti-oxidant and by enhancing ATP energy production in both normal and low oxygen conditions. Idebenone protects the youthful functioning of the mitochondria in the brain, liver, heart and other vital organs even when in older age the oxygen concentration can be quite low at times;
  • Reduces the toxic effects of iron in the body;
  • Helps increase stamina and over all energy; increases athletic endurance.
Trace Minerals
Have been included in this formulation because our soils are so depleted of trace minerals, due to a chemically based agriculture, that supplementation is required. The lack of trace nutrients is all the more vexing since practically no function in the body can progress properly without adequate amounts of trace minerals. We are offering a full spectrum of ionic trace minerals that is low in sodium and free of toxic heavy metals. These trace minerals have been obtained from the Great Salt Lake, an inland sea, where the washout from the rivers, weather, and other geological processes have produced a combination of salts that are ideal for the human physiology. The trace mineral mix is standardized and guaranteed to contain magnesium, boron(!), selenium, lithium, chloride, and more than 70 other trace elements.
Trace amounts of the gemstone amethyst have been added in order to utilize this unique natural occurrence of quartz. The quartz or silica is well known to be indispensable for many connective tissue processes and especially the sense organs in the human body. Traditionally amethyst has been associated with a clearer, less foggy mind.
 
Bio-dynamic herbal preparations
The scientist R. Steiner pointed out that a finely dispersed mixture of the six herbs yarrow, chamomile, oak, nettles, dandelion and valerian greatly increase the absorption and utilization of trace and macro minerals. They also strengthen the life energy and reinvigorate tired physiological and metabolic forces.
 
Bioperine® used in this formulation is a patented form of piperine, an extract of black pepper. It has powerful thermogenic effects increasing the general bio-availability of nutrients from the intestine, increasing their absorption by more then 60%. (Selenium levels are increased by Bioperine® 30%; vitamin B6 levels by 250% !; coenzyme Q levels by 30%; and vitamin C by 200%). It stimulates the release of digestive enzymes, is anti-inflammatory and increases the GI blood flow. It stimulates Central Nervous System activity in the brain stem, improves breathing, and has pain relieving actions.
It was known in traditional medicine as a nerve tonic. 
Bioperine and its thermogenic effect: Piperine increases the blood circulation to the intestine. It is involved in the stimulation and secretion of epinephrine from the adrenal gland. This leads to the production of heat energy.
Cellular studies showed an increase in the activity of mitochondrial enzymes, ATPases, which release stored energy from ATP. Piperine has a thermogenic effect that can be characterized as diet induced thermogenesis. While Bioperine is thermogenic, it is also a thermonutrient – a substance that stimulates metabolism and thermogenesis in conjunction with increased nutrient absorption.
Bioperine and nerves: Bioperine is a stimulant and nervine. The stimulating activity has been postulated to occur in the brain stem controlling vital centers such as respiratory, circulation and the biological cycle of sleeping and waking. Piperine, for example, reverses respiratory depression. Piperine increases pain relieving beta-endorphins in the brain. Endorphins dull the sense of pain and reduce the effects of trauma. They lessen the sense for hunger and thirst and increase our sex drive.
Bioperine and the gastro-intestinal tract:
  • Increases the amount of mucosal pancreatic secretions.
  • Reduces gastric acid secretions and ulcerations.
  • Interacts directly with the cells of the small intestine increasing their ability to absorb amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine and valine. The probable mechanism is stimulation of the gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme. This cycle is important in the absorption of various other amino acids, other peptides and trace elements. The effect on GGT is extremely important in detoxification processes in the body. In related observations it was found that administration of piperine prevents depletion of glutathione (a crucial substance) probably in part by increasing the absorption of the sulfur containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. People with good health had reportedly higher concentrations of glutathione.
Glycine
Glycine is a nonessential protein that has a very simple structure resembling glucose. It has a sweet taste and according to various studies it helps speed learning. It helps liver detoxification and urinary excretion of uric acid and thus it could be a possible help in the treatment of gout. Glycine removes heavy metals such as lead from the body. It has been shown to calm aggression in both children and adults. It lessens anxiety through its action on the limbic system in the brain.
 
5M™ Pentas™
This interesting combination of five salts and trace minerals from slate, porphyry, apatite, and sulfur has an important energetic role. Interpreting the research done by R. Steiner one can say that it conveys a sense of stability in one’s body, of inner confidence and mental clarity.
 
Glyco Pentas ™ is a unique, proprietary blend of all eight glyco-nutrients (complex sugars) needed by the body to significantly support well being, energy, cell repair and the immune system. Glyconutrients are a new class of nutrients that are usually missing to some degree in the average diet. The body needs the following eight sugars in order to properly function: glucose, galactose, fucose, mannose, xylose, N-acetyl-neuramic acid, N-acetyl glucosamine, and N-acetyl-galactosamine. While under ideal and unstressed conditions the body can physiologically synthesize all other sugars from glucose, this may not occur at all or may only partially occur when there is a psychological or physical stress in the organism. Thus these eight sugars as a group can be called conditionally essential.
Glyconutrients are vital to the communications between cells and improve all bodily functions including the immune system, anti-oxidant function and tissue repair. In this product, all eight glyconutrients are offered together in order to maintain a healthy immune system, strong connective tissues; nutritionally support the fight against inflammations, fibromyalgia, diabetes, recurrent infections, auto immune diseases, obesity/metabolic syndrome and other chronic illnesses.
These glyconutrients have been energetically enhanced through the Pentas™ process and include a valuable natural silica plus Raftilose, a natural prebiotic, which increases bioavailability and improves intestinal absorption and function.
