If you are a diabetic, you may be predisposed to having gum disease or to having a more aggressive type of gum disease. Research has shown that gum disease negatively affects blood sugar levels because bacterial infections alter the metabolism and can create problems in controlling blood sugar levels. Diabetics must be vigilant with their oral hygiene and have regular, thorough dental examinations of their gum tissue.

CoQ10 - Twin Pack

CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a micronutrient essential to all human life. It is a naturally occurring nutrient that works as a co-factor in the body’s electron transport system where all of the body’s energy is derived. CoQ10 regulates the flow of oxygen moving in and out of the mitochondria, which are the cell’s power plants. The body’s cellular power plants can’t function without CoQ10.

Declines in CoQ10 levels occur with advancing age and appear to be correlated with deterioration of the immune system. Supplementation with CoQ10 could help to boost energy levels, strengthen and protect the heart and blood vessels, enhance the immune system and protect against free radical damage.

Like all muscles, the heart needs adequate energy to contract, and CoQ10 facilitates the production of that energy. In those with coronary heart disease, supplementation may reduce the frequency of angina episodes and increases the amount of physical exercise that a person can perform before developing angina pain. Tissues that need the largest amounts of CoQ10, like the heart, are those that require the most energy.

Ester-C® Complex

Ester-C® is a patented, non-acidic form of vitamin C. Ester-C® Complex is the most advanced form of vitamin C available. Ester-C® has a neutral pH that helps protect you from the stomach upset that can accompany other vitamin C products.

Ester-C® is different from ordinary or buffered vitamin C because it is processed in purified water instead of solvents which makes it a purer form of vitamin C. It contains calcium threonate, making this form of vitamin C four times more bioavailable than other forms of vitamin C.

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Free radicals are incomplete atoms or molecules that are the natural by-products of everyday metabolic, detoxification, and immune system processes. These unstable compounds attack nearby molecules in an attempt to become complete. Antioxidants like vitamin C are the body’s natural defense system against free radicals. Antioxidants are molecules that can safely neutralize these harmful substances helping to promote cell health and support against cellular damage that could lead to disease.

Vitamin C also plays important roles in helping to protect HDL cholesterol, or “good cholesterol” from free radical damage. Healthy amounts of HDL have been shown to produce cardiovascular benefits and promote heart health.

MSM, OptiMSM™

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in the normal diets of humans and virtually all other vertebrates. In its purified chemical form, it is an odorless, tasteless, white, water-soluble, crystalline solid. When broken apart by the body, MSM donates sulfur to produce the new compounds required for for use by the body in a variety of functions. MSM is the stable end-product of the methyl-S-methane series of compounds that provide all life with a dominant amount of bio-available sulfur.

Sulfur is one of the essential minerals, ranked as a macronutrient in the vertebrate diet. Earlier methionine work and ongoing MSM research indicates that it is the structure of the sulfur donor molecule, not the amount of sulfur, that is critical.

MSM is a form of sulfur found in the tissues and fluids and is the major form of sulfur in the human body. It is an important nutrient for joint tissue where it functions in the stabilization of the connective tissue matrix of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. It is also important in the health and function of the hair, nails, skin, connective tissue, enzymes, hormones and immunoglobulins. Without adequate and properly delivered sulfur, life functions would cease.

MSM deficiencies have been shown to be associated with inflammatory problems, gastrointestinal dysfunction, slow wound healing, brittle toenails and fingernails, immune system problems, brittle hair, acne and rashes.

Vita-Vitamin, Multi-Vitamin/Mineral

Vita-Vitamin is scientifically designed with the latest technology in vitamin science. All of the nutrients are synergistically balanced to yield the highest possible benefits. This formulation uses the highest quality of chelated minerals, which can be regarded as the Gold standard for the industry. Premium Gold minerals are custom mineral formulations developed strictly for Olympian Labs. These minerals are guaranteed to be the highest quality available and carry the Premium Gold Mineral Seal of Quality. Independent research suggests that chelated minerals may be more bio-available than the regular ionic minerals.

Vita-Vitamin contains vitamins, minerals and herbs well known for their beneficial role in nutrition. This unique vegetarian formula provides all your daily nutritional needs in easy to swallow capsules and tablets.

• Formulation also contains Coenzyme Q10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). ALA may help recycle vitamin C and vitamin E.

• Formulation does not contain Beta-carotene because it interferes with the absorption of Lutein. Independent studies suggest that Lutein promotes eye health.

• Contains Lycopene. Significance of Lycopene is well documented in the scientific literature.

• Minerals used in this formulation are specially produced for Olympian Labs.

• Vita-Vitamin is formulated in a proprietary herbal base composed of Grape skin extract, Barley grass, Goldenseal root, Echinacea purpuria, Pau d’arco, Parsley, Lecithin and Rice Bran. These herbs are well known for their beneficial nutritional attributes.

Vitamin A: Promotes growth and repair of body tissue, bone formation, healthy skin and hair. It is also essential for night vision.

Vitamin C: Promotes healthy cell development, wound healing, improves resistance to infections. It is also known to improve collagen formation and provide protection against cataracts.

Vitamin D: Aids absorption of calcium and may help build bone mass.

Vitamin E: Required for normal growth and development. It is a powerful anti-oxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage.

Vitamin B-1: Thiamin is essential for converting carbohydrate to energy, normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles.

Vitamin B-2: Riboflavin helps red blood cell formation, release of energy from food. It is needed for vision and may protect against cataract formation.

Vitamin B-3: Niacin or nicotinic acid promotes release of energy from food. And proper functioning of nervous system. Non-flush niacin is used in this formulation.

Vitamin B-5: Pantothenic acid aids in the normal growth and development.

Vitamin B-6: Pyridoxine is essential for protein metabolism, nervous system, and immune function. It is also involved in the synthesis of hormones and red blood cells.

Vitamin B-9: Folic acid is needed for normal growth and development, red blood cell formation. It is also known to reduce risk of neural tube birth defects. It can control homocysteine levels and thus may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Vitamin B-12: Methylcobalamine is vital for blood formation and healthy nervous system. Deficiency of vitamin B12 is very common in vegetarians.

Biotin: Biotin works with carboxylase enzymes, ATP, and magnesium in the metabolism of fatty acids and proper utilization of B-vitamins. It also plays an important role in the synthesis of proteins and purines.

Calcium: Essential for developing and maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It assists in blood clotting, muscle contraction and nerve transmission.

Magnesium: Activates over 100 enzymes and helps nerves and muscle function.

Chromium: Assists in the metabolism of glucose and may help regulate blood sugar.
