With a hard eye on how the formula could be improved, Advanced Daily formulators added 6 mg of lutein. One of the hundreds found in nature, lutein is the major carotenoid present in the macula of the eye--a nutrient important for visual acuity. Studies show lutein helps reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration and that high intakes of dietary lutein are associated with lower incidence of cataracts. Lutein has also been shown to prevent thickening of blood vessel walls, which may lessen the risk of developing atherosclerosis. It’s also a potent antioxidant that protects skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. As you can see, lutein adds a significant health benefit to an already great multi-vitamin. Formulators chose to continue to provide 30 milligrams of Co-Q10. A ubiquinone essential for generating energy, or ATP, by mitochondria in every cell of the body, Co-Q10 is also a powerful part of cells’ antioxidant defense systems, protecting against damaging free-radical metabolites created by normal physiologic processes. Co-Q10 is well researched for its heart protective effects and blood pressure reduction. As we age, Co-Q10 levels naturally decline, thus increasing the risk of heart disease and possibly contributing to symptoms of fatigue. Co-Q10 is also depleted with the use of cholesterol-lowering medications. So, replenishing this vital nutrient is important for a wide variety of adults. Then there is Advanced Daily’s solid nutritional foundation, which starts improving overall well-being by providing all of the basic required nutrients: * Folic acid and B vitamins, which help to lower homocysteine levels, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. * Vitamin D, which is essential for strengthening bones and of which deficiencies have been linked to seasonal affective disorder (SAD), multiple sclerosis, and many inflammatory conditions. * B-12, which can help prevent anemia and neurological problems—it’s particularly recommended for the elderly, who tend to absorb it poorly, and for vegetarians, who tend to lack it in their diet. * Natural, mixed beta-carotenes, which provide a non-toxic delivery system for vitamin A. * Natural alpha- and mixed-tocopherols, which deliver an ideal form of vitamin E, and when combined with selenium, can be cancer protective. * Chromium and vanadium, which help stabilize blood sugar levels. * Many of the vitamins and minerals in Advanced Daily are present in a variety of forms to optimize absorption regardless of a person’s individual biochemistry. Combined with a healthy, whole foods-based diet, Advanced Daily contributes to preventing fatigue and chronic disease. Attention to detail and a desire to provide you with only professional-grade ingredients now means an even more comprehensive multi-nutrient; one that replenishes the nutritional needs of your body better and more completely than ever.
