This optimal daily intake of essential nutrients provides maximum nutritional insurance for overall health maintenance or as a foundation for more extensive supplementation. It comes in in convenient daily packets so you're always on target.

Mixed Carotenoids:
To most closely mirror the nutrients in colorful fruits and vegetables, these supplements use mixed carotenoids, which have been shown to protect cells from oxidative damage. Starting with natural beta-carotene as many high quality supplements do, Canyon Ranch adds alpha- and gamma-carotene, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin. Absolutely no pre-formed Vitamin A (retinol) is used, which is linked to bone loss and birth defects if regularly consumed in excessive amounts.

Lycopene:
Helps protect cells against damage and has twice the antioxidant activity of its beta-carotene cousin.

Lutein:
Provides key nutritional support which helps maintain the healthy functioning of the eyes as you get older.

Full-Spectrum, High Gamma Vitamin E:
Unlike most supplements that include only one form of E, d-alpha tocopherol, Canyon Ranch provides all eight naturally occurring forms. Higher concentrations of the gamma form are included, which is thought to potentially provide more antioxidant power than its alpha cousin. Rarely included in regular vitamins, mixed tocotrienols, which appear to have a distinct role in cholesterol metabolism, have also been added.

30 mg of High-Quality CoQ10:
This powerful nutrient, which helps ignite energy production at the cellular level, is a valuable and potent antioxidant that is rarely included in multivitamins. Aging and certain medications, most notably statins, can reduce your body's natural CoQ10 levels.

Special Forms of B Vitamins:
For several of the B vitamins, Canyon Ranch uses higher quality forms that are "activated" by being bound to a coenzyme and ready to use by the cell. These forms are more readily used by people with common genetic differences in absorbing and using B vitamins.

More Folic Acid and Pantothenic Acid:
Both of these B vitamins are involved in essential, basic work in every cell in the body. Many people require more because of genetic differences. We have added higher than usual doses of both to make sure everyone's needs are met.

High-Quality, Chelated Minerals:
We use minerals that are "chelated" or bound to amino acids, for easy absorbtion.

Combination of Vitamin C Forms:
Vitamin C is delivered in a spectrum of four powerful and bioavailable forms. Included are non-acidic mineral chelates to avoid adverse digestive reactions, and ascorbyl palmitate – a special fat-soluble form with unique protective properties.

High-Quality Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex:
These important antioxidants are found naturally in plants and play a role in maintaining health and protecting blood vessels, capillaries and other tissues.

Something Extra – Antioxidant Botanicals:
These key botanicals have been shown to provide the body effective antioxidant protection. Green tea, rosemary and a blend of berry compounds add an extra "ultraprevention" punch to this comprehensive formula.
