Maxum Multi Vite is a multivitamin formula that also provides
antioxidants for the maintenance of good health. Selenium is necessary
for the production of selenoproteins, including glutathione peroxidases
and selenoprotein P, which are involved in the antioxidant defense
system.1 Vitamin C is the most important aqueous antioxidant in the plasma, interstitial fluid and soluble compartment of cells.2
As the first line of defense in these areas, vitamin C prevents free
radical damage to DNA, and helps recycle vitamin E to protect against
oxidative damage in lipid membranes.2 B vitamins help mediate hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including the metabolism of nutrients.2 Niacin and thiamine help provide substrates for energy production in the Krebs cycle, while folate and vitamins B6 and B12 help convert homocysteine to methionine.2
Chromium promotes healthy glucose metabolism by helping to regulate
glucose uptake in cells and promote its storage as glycogen.3,4 Beta-carotene is a provitamin A carotenoid pigment naturally found in plants.5
As it can be converted into vitamin A in the body, it is an important
source of vitamin A to help maintain eyesight, skin, membranes, and
immune function.5Recommended Dosage: Adult: Take 1 capsule 2 times daily with meals, a few hours before or after
