It is well-established that good nutrition promotes health, while nutritional deficiencies can lead to many chronic diseases. Yet, many people underestimate the importance of achieving proper levels of micronutrients each day. For the human body to complete vital daily tasks, it must be given a wide and complex variety of key micronutrients. Micronutrients play a role in strengthening immune function and converting food into energy. They detoxify chemicals and medications as well as manufacture neurotransmitters, hormones, and other key signaling molecules in the body. Micronutrients also maintain tissue repair and cell regeneration. Becoming deficient in any one of these essential vitamins or minerals can create a breakdown of metabolic processes that safeguard health. Comprehensive studies conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture have revealed that the average American diet lacks micronutrients. Nutritional deficiencies may be caused by poor nutrient levels in the soil, food transport and storage methods, and food processing techniques. Whatever the reason, nutrient deficiencies exist in a substantial portion of the U.S. population, and, for select nutrients, more than 80% of Americans consume less than the recommended daily allowance (RDA). Alpha Base is a superior multivitamin designed to support the ideal daily intake of vitamins and minerals by providing a high-quality source of nutrients in the most bioavailable form. Bioavailability The importance of bioavailability is obvious. If consuming a multivitamin has little effect on improving the body’s nutrient balance, there is no reason to ingest it. Inferior multivitamin supplements often contain synthetic vitamin E in a dl-tocopherol form. Alpha Base® contains natural d-alpha tocopherol, as well as mixed tocopherols, to enhance vitamin E availability and its free radical scavenging potential. Another sign of an inferior multivitamin is the use of cheap, poorly absorbed, rock-salt minerals like calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide. These mineral forms have slow and limited absorption, relying on adequate stomach acid to promote passive diffusion into the body. What’s more, because they remain in the intestines longer, these forms can cause intestinal distress such as constipation (calcium carbonate) or diarrhea (magnesium oxide). Alpha Base® provides a full spectrum of highly absorbed, Albion® mineral chelates. Albion® is the world leader in manufacturing highly bioavailable mineral chelates, a specialized form of minerals bound to amino acids. This patented process creates natural mineral compounds that use active absorption mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract to significantly enhance mineral absorption. Comparison studies show significantly superior absorption of mineral chelates over other forms of minerals. In a magnesium comparison study reported by Graff et al. at Weber State University, Albion’s® magnesium amino acid chelate had. In addition, mineral chelates are gentle, gut-friendly minerals that do not cause the constipation that often accompanies calcium carbonate and other mineral forms. Albion’s® mineral chelates have extensive clinical research proving their superior bioavailability, biologic activity, stability, and tolerance. Metabolism & Energy Production Converting food into cellular energy is a nutrient-intensive process. Alpha Base® provides substantial levels of B vitamins, which are prime coenzymes for the Krebs’ cycle, the biochemical pathway responsible for maintaining energy production in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Alpha Base® exclusively uses high-quality, USP-grade B vitamins ideal for those looking to boost their energy levels and support stressful lifestyles. Broad Spectrum Antioxidant Support The body is constantly exposed to free radicals and relies heavily on its antioxidant reserve for protection. Free radicals are generated by metabolic by-products and environmental exposure such as UV rays from the sun, air pollution, and radiation. Alpha Base® contains a balanced spectrum of antioxidants such as vitamin C, mixed carotenoids, trace elements, and nutrients that up-regulate antioxidant-supporting pathways in the body. They work synergistically to regenerate each other and maintain adequate levels of protective antioxidants throughout the body.
