Vitamin A	5000 IU	Maintenance of healthy skin, eyes, bones, hair and teeth.
Beta Carotene	**	Beta Carotene is an antioxidant and can be converted by the body to vitamin A as needed.
Vitamin D	400 IU	Assists in the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus for strong bones and teeth.
Vitamin E	30 IU	As an antioxidant, helps protect cell membranes, lipoproteins, fats and vitamin A from destructive oxidation. Helps protect red-blood cells.
Vitamin K	**	Needed for proper blood clotting. Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include easy bruisability, epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, menorrhagia and hematuria.
Vitamin C	60 mg	As an antioxidant, inhibits the formation of nitrosamines (a suspected carcinogen). Important for maintenance of bones, teeth, collagen and blood vessels (capillaries). Enhances iron absorption, red-blood cell formation. A deficiency of vitamin C causes scurvy.
Vitamin B-1 ( Thiamine)	1.5 mg	Releases energy from foods. Needed for normal appetite and for functioning of nervous system.
Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin)	1.7 mg	Releases energy from foods. Necessary for healthy skin and eyes.
Vitamin B-3 (Niacin)	20 mg	Releases energy from foods. Aids in maintenance of skin, nervous system and proper mental functioning.
Vitamin B-6	2 mg	Releases energy from foods. Plays a role in protein and fat metabolism. Essential for function of red-blood cells and hemoglobin synthesis.
Vitamin B-12	6 mcg	Prevents pernicious anemia. Necessary for healthy nervous system. Involved in synthesis of genetic material (DNA).
Biotin	300 mcg	Releases energy from foods. Plays a role in metabolism of amino acids. Needed for normal hair production and growth.
Pantothenic Acid	10 mg	Releases energy from foods. Involved in synthesis of acetylcholine, an excitatory neurotransmitter. Needed for normal functioning of the adrenal glands.
Folic Acid	400 mcg	Necessary for proper red-blood cell formation. Plays a role in the metabolism of fats, amino acids, DNA and RNA. Needed for proper cell division and protein synthesis. Prevents spina bifida birth defects.
Choline	**	As a lipotropic nutrient, prevents fat accumulation in the liver. Precursor to acetylcholine, a major neurotransmitter in the brain.
Inositol	**	Involved in calcium mobilization.


Boron	**	Possibly plays a role in maintaining strong bones. Affects calcium and magnesium metabolism. May be needed for proper membrane function. Boron supplementation can reduce loss of calcium 40%, magnesium 33% and phosphorus in the urine. Boron builds stronger bones and improves hormone levels.
Calcium	1000 mg	Builds strong bones and teeth. Involved in nerve transmission and muscle contraction.
Chromium	**	As part of Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF), it works with insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. Diseases caused by a chromium deficiency include low blood sugar, diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, hyperirratability, depression, bi-polar disease, impaired personality traits (bad seed), impaired growth, peripheral neuropathy, negative nitrogen balance (protein loss), elevated blood triglycerides, elevated blood cholesterol, coronary blood vessel disease, aortic cholesterol plaque, infertility and decreased sperm count and a shortened life span.
Copper	2 mg	Essential for red-blood cell formation, hemoglobin synthesis. Involved in many enzyme systems including, superoxide dismutase (SOD), a major antioxidant enzyme system. Copper is essential for many physiological functions. Copper deficiency is widespread and leads to many serious diseases including nerve damage, cerebral aneurysms (rupture causing a stroke), abdominal aorta aneurysms (rupture causing instant death from internal bleeding), birth defects, cerebral palsy and mental deterioration.
Germanium	100 mg	Essential metalloid that has been largely ignored by nutritionist. A deficiency causes brain cancer. Germanium is known to enhance the immune system by stimulating production of natural killer cells, lymphokines such as IFN(Y), interferon, macrophages and T-suppressor cells. Take as a separate mineral because it is not included in most multivitamin tablets.
Iodine	150 mcg	Needed for proper functioning of the thyroid gland and production of thyroid hormones.
Iron	18 mg	Prevents anemia; as a constituent of hemoglobin, transports oxygen throughout the body. Excess iron contributes to heart disease.
Lithium	**	A lithium deficiency causes mental depression that is aggravated by sugar consumption. Taken as a trace mineral in a colloidal mineral supplement or as a separate supplement.
Magnesium	400 mg	Needed in many enzyme systems, especially those involved with energy production. Essential for proper heartbeat and nerve transmission. Constituent of bones and teeth.
Manganese	**	Cofactor in many enzyme systems including those involved in bone formation, energy production and protein metabolism. A manganese deficiency causes many diseases including repetitive motion syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, birth defects, asthma, joint problems (TMJ), loss of libido, poor cartilage formation, pregnancy miscarriages, retarded growth rate and shortened long bones.
Molybdenum	**	Required for proper growth and development. Plays a role in fat and nucleic acid metabolism. Needed for proper sulfur metabolism.
Phosphorus	1000 mg	Maintains strong bones and teeth. Necessary for muscle and nerve function. Abundant in most foods. Supplementation is rarely needed.
Potassium	**	An electrolyte needed to maintain fluid balance, proper heartbeat and nerve transmission.
Selenium	**	The most powerful and important antioxidant. Selenium is needed in the enzyme that restores oxidized glutathione back to its functional form as reduced glutathione. Another important function of selenium is its role as a powerful antioxidant in preventing cancer. It is a constituent of glutathione peroxidase, and prevents body fat from becoming rancid. A deficiency causes many diseases including heart disease, liver failure, cancer, pancreatitis and sudden infant syndrome. Protects vitamin E.
Silicon	**	Needed for proper bone structure and growth. A silica deficiency is characterized by dry brittle hair, brittle finger and toe nails, poor skin quality, poor calcium utilization and arterial disease.
Zinc	15 mg	Component of insulin; required for blood sugar control. Needed for proper taste and hearing. Important in wound healing and enzyme activation. A zinc deficiency is associated with congenital birth defects including Down's Syndrome, cleft lip, cleft palate, brain defects, eye defects, spina bifida, clubbed limbs, syndactyly (web toes and fingers), diaphragmatic hernias, umbilical hernias, heart defects, lung defects and urogentital defects.
