Vitamin B12 1000 mcg, plus folic acid by Solaray is in a base of sorbitol and natural cherry flavoring, dietary supplement. Vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication, and production of the mood-affecting substance called SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). Vitamin B12 works with folic acid to control homocysteine levels. An excess of homocysteine, which is an amino acid (protein building block), may increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, and some research indicates that individuals who are not deficient in this vitamin have increased energy after supplementation of vitamin B12. Ingredients - per lozenge: Folic Acid 400 mcg; Vitamin B12 1000 mcg Other Ingredients: Sorbitol, Natural Flavors and Magnesium stearate

ASCORBYL PALMITATE We all know to take our Vitamin C during cold season to help boost our immune systems. But Vitamin C isn?t just for colds. HEALTH BENEFITS Humans are one of the few species that cannot manufacture Vitamin C and must depend on the diet as their only source of the vitamin. Vitamin C is critical in the formation and maintenance of collagen, a protein that forms the basis for the most abundant tissue in the body: connective tissue. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that promotes the healing of wounds, bone fractures, bruises, hemorrhages and bleeding gums, and forms a protective barrier between infections or disease and the surrounding healthy tissues. It is also helpful with allergies, stress and may increase immune response. VITAMIN C DEFICIENCY Vitamin C is critical to maintaining good, overall health. Several serious disorders can develop when the body has a Vitamin . . .

Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for enzymes involved in the synthesis of collagen — the chief structural protein in muscles, vascular tissues, skin, bones and cartilage. It also plays roles in the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters, in immunity, and in prevention of oxidative damage. Major vitamin C deficiency weakens vascular tissue — a condition called scurvy — and results in widespread capillary bleeding, bleeding gums, and loosening of the teeth. Lesser deficiencies can be caused by insufficient C intake, physical or psychological stress, smoking, alcohol use, and infections. Symptoms include fatigue, lassitude, loss of appetite, drowsiness, insomnia, irritability, and lowered immunity. Vitamin C has a preventive effect on degenerative processes such as cardiovascular disease and cancer; it speeds wound healing, and prevents carcinogenic nitrosamines . . .

PREMIUM BETA CAROTENE Beta-carotene is probably the best known of the carotenoids, those red, orange, and yellow pigments that give color to many fruits and vegetables. The body converts beta-carotene into Vitamin A. Taken as a supplement, this powerful antioxidant counters the effects of free radicals and may help to protect against and treat certain cancers. It may even help to strengthen the immune system, prevent heart disease and night blindness. Scientists are also exploring its potential for treating chronic fatigue syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, Fibromyalgia, male infertility, and psoriasis. DEFICIENCY Many adverse health conditions can appear when there is a deficiency of Beta-Carotene. Eye problems, changes in mucous membranes, weak tooth enamel, diarrhea, and slow growth are all possibilities with a Beta-Carotene deficiency. Low Beta-Carotene levels are also often associated . . .

Folic Acid is a B-vitamin that is essential for the synthesis of DNA. Folic acid therefore plays a major role in the body, and its deficiency has been implicated in a wide variety of disorders. For example, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke are correlated with low folate levels, as are osteoporosis, cervical and colon cancer, depression, dementia, hearing loss, and various birth defects. It is said that the folate intake of most North Americans is less than optimal. Furthermore, many drugs such as methotrexate, levopoda, niacin, phenytoin (Dilantin), carbamazepine, and theophylline can markedly reduce folate levels. This vitamin can decrease the risk for cleft palate and birth defects of the brain (anencephaly) or spine (spina bifida). If you have any chance of getting pregnant you should be using folate supplementation because by the time you know you?re . . .
