Our Multivitamin tablets contain a formulation of 13 ingredients to benefit your health. This tablet contains the following: Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D3, E, K2, Biotin and Folic Acid. Vitamin AVitamin A was first discovered in 1912 by Gowland Hopkins, a man who also identified and isolated the amino acid, Tryptophan. The vitamin has two forms: retinol and carotenoids. Retinol is the form of Vitamin A that is found in animal-based foods, and carotenoids found in plant-based food sources. Carotenoids are pigments that not only colour foods but act as precursor molecules to Vitamin A meaning they are converted into Vitamin A. Our Multivitamin tablets contain retinol. The primary role of Vitamin A is to support the maintenance of normal vision. The vitamin also plays a role in the metabolism of Iron. Additionally, Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of mucous membrane. The B VitaminsAll B vitamins are water-soluble and are particularly prone to be lost when cooking. Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)Vitamin B1 is found in whole grains, nuts, fruit and vegetables. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)Vitamin B2 naturally occurs in milk, eggs, fortified cereals and rice, playing a role in the maintenance of red blood cells, which transport oxygen around the body. The vitamin also contributes to the functioning of the nervous system and the maintenance of skin and vision. Vitamin B3 (Niacin)Vitamin B3 can be found in meat, fish, eggs, milk and wheat products. Vitamin B3 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, assists in normal energy-yielding metabolism and the maintenance of the mucous membranes. Niacin also contributes to normal psychological functions. Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)Vitamin B5 is found in peanuts, cashews, broccoli and avocado, as well as the less widely consumed organ meats such as the liver. The vitamin plays a role in the synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, Vitamin D and some neurotransmitters, contributing to normal mental performance. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)Vitamin B6 is available in 3 main forms: Pyridoxine, Pyridoxal and Pyridoxamine. Our Multivitamin tablets contain Pyridoxine which is found naturally in pork, poultry, fish, whole grains, eggs, soybean and milk. The vitamin contributes to the normal synthesis of two amino acids, cysteine and homocysteine, as well as the metabolism of protein, glycogen (a type of carbohydrate) and energy to contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B6 also contributes towards the normal formation of red blood cells and the regulation of hormonal activity. Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)Vitamin B12 is the last B vitamin included in these tablets. There are four forms of Vitamin B12 - this tablet contains cyanocobalamin, sourced from the fermentation of Pseudomonas denitrificans. Vitamin B12 is primarily only sourced from foods of animal origin, although it is often fortified in plant-based milk. Our bodies can store up to 4 years worth of Vitamin B12. The vitamin supports the formation of red blood cells and the metabolism of energy to reduce fatigue and tiredness. Vitamin B12 also contributes to the normal synthesis of homocysteine, an amino acid which forms a building block of protein.
