Vitamins

It is important to note that using vitamin and mineral supplements is not a replacement for good eating habits.

VITAMIN A

Necessary for growth & repair of body tissues; help maintain smooth, soft disease-free skin; help protect the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, throat & lungs, thereby reducing susceptibility to infections. They also protect against air pollutants, counteract night-blindness & weak eyesight and aid in bone and teeth formation.

VITAMIN B

B vitamins are important for the metabolism and help in the formation of red blood cells and in the maintenance of the central nervous system.

FOLATE

Folate helps with tissue growth and cell function. It works alongside vitamin B12 and vitamin C to help the body digest and use proteins, and is necessary for the production of red blood cells. In addition, folate also helps to increase appetite when needed.

VITAMIN C

Promotes healthy teeth and gums, helps in the absorption of iron, aids in the maintenance of normal connective tissue, and promotes wound healing. It also helps the body's immune system.

VITAMIN D

Promotes the body's absorption of calcium and is also important for the growth and maintenance of bones and teeth.

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects body tissue from damage caused by unstable substances called free radicals. Free radicals can harm cells, tissues, and organs, and they are believed to be one of the causes of the degenerative processes seen in ageing. Vitamin E is also important in the formation of red blood cells.
