Laboratories®, is a comprehensive, highly concentrated vitamin-mineral-trace
element supplement containing more than 30 essential nutritional ingredients.
Basic Preventive 1 is more than just another multivitamin supplement. It is a
potent antioxidant formula with natural beta-carotene (from D. salina) and
natural vitamin E; a high-potency B-complex supplement; a significant source of
bioavailable calcium and magnesium; and a full-spectrum trace element
supplement. Basic Preventive 1 uses only the purest, most hypoallergenic
ingredients and contains no yeast; corn; wheat; sugar or other sweeteners;
artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. This formula contains iron and
copper in a base of freeze-dried glandular extracts, including liver, thymus,
spleen and adrenal.
Description
Functions
Studies show that a high percentage of adults and children in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management and prevention of chronic diseases. Basic Preventive 1 has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements without danger of toxic build-up and without side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. Beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production and maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms, such as amino acid chelates and other scientifically validated and clinically superior forms. The unique inert cellulose tablet coating consistently disintegrates rapidly for better nutrient absorption. Beta-carotene is added to the coating to help preserve nutrient activity and naturally colors each tablet pink.
Basic Preventive 1 is ideal for individuals with vitamin, mineral and trace element deficiencies due to sub-optimal dietary intake, age, and life style habits. For many individuals, Basic Preventive 1 is the only daily nutritional supplement and antioxidant formula they need to take.
Two tablets three times daily with meals, or as directed by physician.
No adverse effects have been reported.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light.
