DESCRIPTION
Ultra Preventive® III by Douglas Laboratories provides a comprehensive vitamin/mineral/trace element formula with bioavailable forms to support optimal health and wellness.
Ultra Preventive® III contains Metafolin®, a patented, natural form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) as well as 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 per serving. 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells and is essential for overall health, as it participates as a cofactor in a reaction that involves the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional conversion via the enzyme (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)). In certain populations, the body’s ability to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF by use of this enzyme may be compromised due to genetic differences. Metafolin® contains only the S isomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be the only form of folate to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier.
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. Ultra Preventive® III has been carefully developed to contain all the essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients and allergenic potential. Certain nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, B-complex vitamins and specific minerals are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, immune support, 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.
INDICATIONS
Ultra Preventive® III is ideal for individuals with vitamin, mineral and trace element deficiencies due to suboptimal dietary intake, age and life style.
