All sourced from whole-food sources to ensure that you are getting what you need in a bio-available form. Perfect if you are spending time and money buying many different supplements. Our food supply has changed drastically over the past century, with conventional industrial farming methods depleting the soil and causing nutrient levels to decrease dramatically in the fruits, vegetables, grains and livestock you depend on for health and energy. This can leave you and your family vulnerable to inadequate vitamin and mineral intake, which can lead to a variety of health issues. Most people today can benefit from a multivitamin to supply the missing nutrients needed for optimal health. Our high-potency Whole-Food Complex with added Multivitamin plus Vital Minerals stands apart from other multivitamins on the market, offering superior nutrition and bioavailability: Each daily serving supplies more than 2,000 mg of nutrients, including essential vitamins and minerals. Many of the minerals are in chelated form for enhanced bioavailability. It provides the biologically active form of folate, L-5-MTHF, which is preferred by your body, as it's the only form that can cross your blood-brain barrier to carry out important brain functions. It contains more than 50 nutritional ingredients in a special herbal food base, including hard-to-find ingredients, like spirulina, red wine proanthocyanidins, citrus bioflavonoids, lycopene and chlorella. It contains Dr. Mercola’s special Organic Fruit and Vegetable Blend for extra free radical-fighting antioxidant power, including kale, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, celery, carrot, beet, radish, garlic, blueberry, blackberry, cranberry and apricot.
