Product Information
Advanced Green Multi Vitamin-Mineral Formula is a total wellness, super multi-nutrient formula, containing a full spectrum of protective Phytonutrients, Carotenoids, Flavonoids, and Phytosterols, Multi-Vitamins, Minerals, Digestive Enzymes, Antioxidants, Bioflavonoids, and healing Herbs - all in one formula.
Phyto-Nutrients are active plant constituents from fruit, green foods, soy, grains, cruciferous vegetables and herbs. Naturally energized from rays of the sun, Phyto-nutrients provide maximum protection against free radicals while building a strong immune system. They also appear to lower the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. (Drewnowski A., Gomes- Carneros C. Bitter taste, phytonutrients, and the consumer: a review Am J Clin Nutr: 72(6): 1424-35, Dec 2000).
Why take Supplements?
Research indicates that most people, 80% of children and adolescents and 68% of adults, do not eat the recommended five portions of fruits and vegetables a day. (Ames B.N. Micronutrient Deficiencies: A Major Cause of DNA Damage. Ann Ny Acad Sci; 889:87-106, 1999). Of even greater concern is the fact that many of the foods we consume and the water we drink endangers rather than promotes our health and well-being. Nutrient stripped soil; toxic pesticides and chemicals; nutrient losses from food processing, heating and freezing; inconsistent and varying bioavailability of nutrients in food; loss of nutrients due to food storage; air pollution; and genetically altered food endanger the health of every human being on this planet. These facts compel us to look beyond our diet to obtain sufficient supplies of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and phyto -nutrients. The Advanced Green Multi Vitamin-Mineral Formula provides necessary ingredients for overall mental and physical well-being.
The MD Healthline Advanced Green Multi Vitamin - Mineral Formula is a premium quality super multi-nutrient formula. The formulation is based on the latest clinical and scientific studies designed to offer you the maximum nutritional protection. It provides the daily nutrients you need, in the proper proportions, to support your good health. All MD Healthline products are manufactured in the United States under exacting health standards and regulations. Each ingredient is tested for purity before it is utilized.

Ingredients
Vitamin A (Beta Carotene) is necessary for repair and growth
of body tissues. It is used in the treatment of vision problems, breast cancer,
and skin wrinkling. (Ross A.C., Ternus M.E., Vitamin A as a hormone: recent
advances in understanding the actions of retinol, retinoic acid, and beta carotene.
J Am Diet Assoc; 93(11): 1285-90, Nov 1993).
Vitamin B-1 (Thiamin) benefits the heart and cardiovascular
system. It is also important for growth, energy production and digestion. In
a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial utilizing 222 people aged
65 or over, researchers concluded that the quality of life was enhanced by providing
thiamin supplements. Blood pressure and weight were lower after thiamin supplementation.
(Wilkinson TJ; Hanger HC; Elmslie J; George PM; Sainsbury R. The response to
treatment of subclinical thiamine deficiency in the elderly. Am J Clin Nutr;
66(4): 925-8, Oct 1997).
Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin) is important for healthy skin, tissue
repair and red blood cell formation.
Niacinimide (Vitamin B-3) improves circulation and reduces
cholesterol levels in the blood.
Pantothenic Acid helps convert proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
into energy, improves the body's resistance to stress.
Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine) promotes healthy gums, teeth, red
blood cells, and is necessary for synthesis of amino acids.
PABA (Para Amino Benzoic Acid) plays a key role in skin pigmentation
and hair color.
Vitamin B-12 (Cobalamin) helps prevent anemia by aiding in
formation of red blood cells.
Folic Acid is important for red cell production, tissue cells,
and a healthy intestinal tract.
Biotin (Vitamin H) promotes healthy hair and skin. It plays
a critical role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. (Mock,
D.M. Biotin. In: Present Knowledge in Nutrition (Ziegler, E.E. and Filer, L.
J., eds.), 7th ed., pp. 220-235. International Life Sciences Institute Press,
Washington, DC, 1996).
Choline is an essential nutrient needed for cell membrane
integrity. It plays a significant role in controlling fat and cholesterol. It
is also a component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and is needed for
normal brain functioning.
Inositol is required for proper formation of cell membranes.
It affects nerve transmission and helps in transporting fats within the body.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) helps build resistance to infections,
aids in the prevention of the common cold, prevents scurvy, and is critical
to the maintenance of healthy gums, skin, and blood. It is a major antioxidant,
and plays a significant role in cardiovascular disease (CVD). According Matthias
Rath M.D. and Linus Pauling Ph.D: "…ascorbate deficiency is the common
cause of human CVD, ascorbate supplementation is the universal treatment for
this disease. The available epidemiological and clinical evidence is reasonably
convincing. Further clinical confirmation of this theory should lead to the
abolition of CVD as a cause of human mortality for the present generation and
future generations of mankind." (The Linus Pauling/Matthias Rath Unified
Theory of Human Cardiovascular Disease On-line paper published in the J. of
Orthomolecular Medicine; http://www.orthomed.org/links/papers/rathpau.htm).
Vitamin D benefits teeth, bones, and optimizes calcium and
phosphorous metabolism.
Vitamin E is a major antioxidant and delays cellular aging
due to oxidation. It protects cell membranes and tissues, and brings nourishment
to cells. (Meydani, S. N., Meydani, M., Blumberg, J. B., Leka, L. S., Siber,
G., Loszewski, R., Thompson, C., Pedrosa, M. C., Diamond, R. D., Stollar, B.
D. Vitamin E supplementation enhances in vivo immune response in healthy elderly:
A dose-response study. JAMA. 277: 1380-1386, 1997)
Calcium promotes bone and teeth health, and assists in the
passage of nutrients in and out of cell walls. Please see Bone Strengthener
Plus for additional information. Calcium and Vitamin D supplementation in the
elderly helps reduce the incidence of fractures. (Dawson-Hughes, B., Harris,
S.S., Krall, E. A. & Dallal, G. E. Effect of calcium and vitamin D supplementation
on bone density in men and women age 65 and older. New Engl. J. Med. 337: 670-676,
1997).
Chromium is important for carbohydrate metabolism. It works
with insulin in the metabolism and stabilization of blood sugar levels. (Stoecker,
B. J., Chromium. In: Present Knowledge in Nutrition (Ziegler, E. E. & Filer,
L. J., Jr., eds.), 7th ed., pp. 344-352. International Life Sciences Institute
Press, Washington, DC., 1996).
Copper is necessary for the absorption and utilization of
iron. Copper deficiency may also play a role in heart disease. (Medeiros, D.
M. & Wildman, R., New findings on a unified perspective of copper restriction
and cardiomyopathy. Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 215: 299-313, 1997).
Iodine aids in the functioning of the thyroid gland. "Comparative
epidemiologic studies in areas with low and high iodine intake and controlled
studies of iodine supplementation have demonstrated that the major consequence
of mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency for the health of the population is an
extraordinarily high occurrence of hyperthyroidism in elderly subjects, especially
women, with risk of cardiac arrhythmias, osteoporosis, and muscle wasting."
(Laurberg P., Nohr S.B., Pedersen K.M., Hreidarsson A.B., Andersen S., Bulow
Pedersen I., Knudsen N., Perrild H., Jorgensen T., and Ovesen L. Thyroid disorders
in mild iodine deficiency. Department of Endocrinology and Medicine, Aalborg
Hospital, Denmark. Thyroid; 10(11): 951-63, Nov 2000).
Iron combines with protein and copper in manufacturing hemoglobin
which transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the tissues. Iron deficiency
results in anemia. A recent study indicates that the prevalence of iron deficiency
anemia is higher in athletic populations and groups, especially in younger female
athletes, than in healthy sedentary individuals. The young female athlete may
want to consider use of low-dose iron supplements to prevent a decline in iron
status during training. (Beard J., Tobin B. Iron status and exercise. Am J Clin
Nutr. 72(2 Suppl): 594S-7S,Aug 2000).
Magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell of the body. Magnesium
is needed for at least 300 fundamental enzymatic reactions in the body. It helps
maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, and bones
strong. It is also involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Evidence
suggests that magnesium may play an important role in regulating blood pressure.
(Paolisso, G. and Barbagallo, M. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and insulin
resistance: the role of intracellular magnesium. Amer. J. Hyperten. 10: 346-355,
1997).
Diets that provide plenty of fruits and vegetables, good sources of potassium
and magnesium, are consistently associated with lower blood pressure. Results
of two national surveys, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES III-1988-91) and the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes of Individuals
(1994 CSFII), indicated that the diets of most adult men and women do not provide
the recommended amounts of magnesium.
Manganese is an essential trace mineral that is concentrated
primarily in the bone, liver, pancreas, and brain. It is necessary for proper
digestion, sex hormone production, and is a catalyst in the breakdown of fats
and cholesterol. It is also an important antioxidant. An animal study conducted
at the University of Maine found that manganese deficiency may affect arterial
wall integrity and subsequently cardiovascular health. (Yang P., and Klimis-Tavantzis
D.J. Effects of dietary manganese on arterial glycosaminoglycan metabolism in
Sprague-Dawley rats. Biol Trace Elem Res; 64(1-3): 275-88, Summer 1998).
Potassium is mostly found in muscle tissue. Deficiency symptoms
include irregular heartbeat, muscular weakness, and build -up of lactic acid.
Research also indicates that there may be a relationship between high blood
pressure and potassium depletion. A study conducted at the University of Arkansas
school for medical science concluded that; "An increase in potassium intake
should be included in the nonpharmacologic management of patients with uncomplicated
hypertension." (Barri Y.M. and Wingo C.S. The effects of potassium depletion
and supplementation on blood pressure: a clinical review. Am J Med Sci; 314(1):
37-40, Jul 1997).
Selenium is a major antioxidant and prevents free radical
generation, thus decreasing the risk of cancer. (Combs, G. F., Jr. & Gray,
W. P. Chemopreventive agents: selenium. Pharmacol. Expt. Therapeut. 79: 179-192,
1998). Other studies indicate that selenium deficiency may result in heart disease,
premature aging, dandruff, and loose skin.
Zinc is an antioxidant nutrient necessary for protein synthesis,
wound healing, male hormone production, and reproductive organ health. A recent
study at Michigan State University concluded that there is substantial evidence
that zinc supplementation may reduce the impact of many diseases, including;
sickle cell anemia, renal disease, and chronic gastrointestinal disorders.(Fraker
P.J., King L.E., Laakko T., Vollmer T.L. The dynamic link between the integrity
of the immune system and zinc status, J Nutr; 130(5S Suppl): 1399S-406S, May
2000).

Octacosanol is a waxy substance found in some plant oils.
It is the primary component of sugar cane extract called policosanol which has
been reported to lower LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) while
raising HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) levels. (Castano
G., Tula L., Canetti M., et al. Effects of policosanol in hypertensive patients
with type II hypercholesterolemia. Curr Ther Res;57:691-95, 1996).
