Proper intake of optimal levels of vitamins, minerals and herbs is now scientifically supported as natural medicine, fundamental to good health and the prevention of disease. One of the remarkable aspects of Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Multi-Vitamin With Minerals is its inclusion of a highly synergistic blend of a rainbow spectrum of antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and expensive herbal extracts. Of primary consideration is the formula’s diversity and high concentration of antioxidants. It is widely recognized now that antioxidants may help to slow the aging process in both the body and the brain.

The Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Multi-Vitamin With Minerals formula contains all three of the primary nutrient antioxidants: vitamin C, vitamin E and the carotenoids, both beta-carotene and lutein. Vitamin C is one of the most efficient chain-breaking antioxidants and has been shown to exert a positive effect on LDL (bad cholesterol) concentrations. Vitamin E is the primary chain-breaking antioxidant of lipids and lipoproteins and controls the oxidation of LDL that initiates atherosclerosis. Carotenoids also protect against oxidative stress and are also associated with decreased LDL production, increased protection against cardiovascular disease and immune enhancement. Beta-carotene is the most active of the carotenoids and is a rampant free radical quencher. Lutein, a synergistic compliment to the activity of beta-carotene, is now one of the big “buzz words” in supplementation for its profound role in eye health and repair. Unlike other formulas that either fail to include lutein or do so in an amount less than that demonstrated to be effective, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Multi-Vitamin With Minerals provides nearly twice the amount recommended for optimal eye care.

Additionally, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Multi-Vitamin With Minerals also contains several of the non-nutritive flavonoid antioxidants, including bilberry and quercitin. Bilberry has a unique affinity to protect collagen from oxidation and improves circulation throughout the body. Quercitin is noted for its contribution to countering oxidation processes that affect cardiovascular health. (Another reason for the high concentration of the B complex vitamins in the formula is because many of these B vitamins stimulate enhanced antioxidant (production.) Additional herbal extracts included in the formula are silymarin, turmeric, black cohosh, red clover and hypericin. By tackling increased free radicals due to the liver detoxification process, the powerful flavonoids in the antioxidant Silymarin have a shielding effect on liver cells from toxic substances, including alcohol and recreational drugs, and promote generation of new liver cells. Silymarin also safeguards the pancreas and promotes fat digestion. Turmeric, another potent antioxidant that acts similarly to silymarin, also provides anti-inflammatory and other benefits associated with cardiovascular health and normal cholesterol maintenance. Black Cohosh and red clover aid in maintaining female hormonal balance and contribute to bone health and blood cleansing. Hypericin, the active herbal extract found in St. John’s Wort, has been widely prescribed in Europe for mood elevation.

Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Multi-Vitamin With Minerals is formulated to promote muscle recovery and growth, detoxify free radicals to prevent damage of cellular structures throughout the body, ensure balanced nutrition, improve cognitive function, give strength to blood vessels and improve circulation, support normal cholesterol levels and a healthy immune system, boost energy and cellular health, strengthen connective tissue and promote healthy skin, and improve visual performance. In short, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Multi-Vitamin With Minerals does it all.
