Essential Multivitamin for Men is one of the most comprehensive formulas available on the market today

How does it work?

It is well-established that good nutrition promotes health, while nutritional deficiencies can lead to many health challenges. Yet in today's busy world, many women underestimate the importance of achieving proper levels of micronutrients each day. Nutrient deficiencies exist in a substantial portion of the U.S. population and, for select nutrients, more than 80% of Americans consume less than the recommended daily allowance (RDA).

Essential Multivitamin for Men is a comprehensive, hypo-allergenic multivitamin designed to support the ideal daily intake of vitamins and minerals by providing a high-quality source of nutrients in the most bioavailable form. As a complete multivitamin, Essential Multivitamin for Men provides the highest quality nutrients so you can build a healthy micronutrient reserve.

Why is taking a multivitamin beneficial? The answer is straightforward. Studies indicate that the risks associated with multivitamins are minimal, while they offer considerable advantages for the majority of individuals. A daily multivitamin serves as an affordable safeguard against potential micronutrient deficiencies, which can compromise your immune system, overall health, and long-term well-being.

Many people's diets tend to lean more towards indulgence than nourishment. On average, Americans derive about 30% of their daily caloric intake from nutrient-deficient, high-energy foods like desserts, snacks, and alcohol, based on information from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Consequently, these foods are displacing healthier alternatives and contributing to insufficient consumption of vital micronutrients.

In reality, the majority of Americans do not consume adequate amounts of dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, choline, and vitamins A, C, D, E, and K, as reported by the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. Additionally, specific population groups often experience a lack of iron, folate, protein, and vitamin B12 in their diets. I recommend all my patients take a high quality multivitamin to ensure that are getting their baseline nutrients.

Overview

It is well-established that good nutrition promotes health, while nutritional deficiencies can lead to many health challenges. Yet, many people underestimate the importance of achieving proper levels of micronutrients each day. For the human body to complete vital daily tasks, it must be given a wide and complex variety of key micronutrients. Micronutrients play a role in strengthening immune function and converting food into energy. They detoxify chemicals and medications, and manufacture neurotransmitters, hormones and other key signaling molecules in the body. Micronutrients also maintain tissue repair and cell regeneration. Becoming deficient in any one of these essential vitamins or minerals can create a breakdown metabolic processes that safeguard health.

Comprehensive studies conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture have revealed the average American diet lacks micronutrients. Nutritional deficiencies may be caused by poor nutrient levels in the soil, food transport and storage methods, and food processing techniques. In addition, deficiencies can also be caused by highly processed and refined foods, food additives, medications, alcohol consumption, smoking, heavy metal exposure and high stress levels. Whatever the reason, nutrient deficiencies exist in a substantial portion of the U.S. population and, for select nutrients, more than 80% of Americans consume less than the recommended daily allowance (RDA).1,2 Although recommended nutrient intakes (e.g., %DV, DRIs, EARs, RDAs) have been established as minimum guidelines for healthy individuals, these guidelines were not designed to address the micronutrient needs of all individuals, especially those with chronic health concerns. While these guidelines can help prevent a severe nutrient deficiency, standards such as the RDA are not a reflection of optimal daily intake. For these reasons, a daily multivitamin is a prudent choice for most individuals. Essential Mulivitamin for Men is a superior multivitamin designed to support the ideal daily intake of vitamins and minerals by providing a high-quality source of nutrients in the most bioavailable form.

Bioavailability†

The importance of bioavailability is obvious. If consuming a multivitamin has little effect on improving the body’s nutrient balance, there is no reason to ingest it. Inferior multivitamin supplements often contain synthetic vitamin E in a dltocopherol form. Essential Multivitamin for Men contains natural d-alpha tocopherol, as well as mixed tocopherols, to enhance vitamin E availability and its free radical scavenging potential.3 Another sign of an inferior multivitamin is the use of cheap, poorly-absorbed, rock-salt minerals like calcium carbonate and carbonate) or diarrhea (magnesium oxide).

These mineral forms have slow and limited absorption relying on adequate stomach acid to promote passive diffusion into the body. What’s more, because they remain in the intestines longer, these forms can cause intestinal distress such as constipation (calcium carbonate) or diarrhea (magnesium oxide).

Essential Multivitamin for Men provides a full spectrum of highly absorbed, Albion® mineral chelates. Albion® is the world leader in manufacturing highly bioavailable mineral chelates, a specialized form of minerals bound to amino acids. This patented process creates natural mineral compounds which use active absorption mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract to significantly enhance mineral absorption. Comparison studies show significantly superior absorption of mineral chelates over other forms of minerals. In a magnesium comparison study reported by Graff et al. at Weber State University, Albion’s® magnesium amino acid chelate had (See Figure 1): 3

• 8.8 times greater absorption than magnesium oxide
• 5.6 times greater absorption than magnesium sulfate
• 2.3 times greater absorption than magnesium carbonate

In a clinical study comparing calcium absorption in humans, Albion’s® patented calcium chelate delivered the greatest absorption of all calcium sources tested (44% Absorption - See Figure 2).4

In addition, mineral chelates are gentle, gut-friendly minerals that do not cause the constipation that often accompanies calcium carbonate and other mineral forms. Albion’s® mineral chelates have extensive clinical research proving their superior bioavailability, biologic activity, stability and tolerance.

Metabolism & Energy Production†

Converting food into cellular energy is a nutrient-intensive process. Essential Multivitamin for Men provides substantial levels of B vitamins, which are prime coenzymes for the Kreb’s cycle, the biochemical pathway responsible for maintaining energy production in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Essential Multivitamin for Men exclusively uses high-quality, USP* grade B vitamins ideal for those looking to boost their energy levels and support stressful lifestyles. Essential Multivitamin for Men also contains the bioavailable form of folate (Quatrefolic™ - 100% 5-MTHF). 5-MTHF helps promote DNA repair, homocysteine balance, neurotransmitter production, hormone balance and healthy detoxification.

Broad Spectrum Antioxidant Support†

The body is constantly exposed to free radicals and relies heavily on its antioxidant reserve for protection. Free radicals are generated by metabolic by-products and environmental exposure such as UV rays from the sun, air pollution and radiation. Essential Multivitamin for Men contains a balanced spectrum of antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C, mixed carotenoids, trace elements and nutrients that upregulate antioxidant-supporting pathways in the body. They work synergistically to regenerate each other and maintain adequate levels of protective antioxidants throughout the body. *The USP is a scientific organization that sets standards for the identity, strength, quality and purity of medicines, food ingredients and dietary supplements, manufactured, distributed and consumed worldwide.
