Bextram Silver (30)

Oral Adult 30 multivitamin multimineral with complete antioxidant Tablet: 1 tablet once daily or as recommended by the physician.

Should not use in over dosage. Patients with mild to moderate renal failure. Diabetes, patients prone to recurrent renal calculi. Long term intake of high levels of vitamin A (Excluding that sourced from Beta carotene) may increase the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Do not take this product if taking other vitamin A supplements. Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematological remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.

Vitamin A: Helps form and maintain healthy skin, eyes, teeth, gums, hair, mucous membranes and glands. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Collagen formation: without it, protocollagen does not cross- link properly, resulting in impaired wound healing. Vitamin D: Vitamin D helps to regulate calcium metabolism and normal calcification of the bones in the body as well as influencing our utilization of the mineral phosphorus Vitamin E: Necessary for the formation of normal red blood cells, muscle, and tissue and necessary for immune functions Vitamin K: Necessary for normal blood coagulation Vitamin B-Complexes Thiamine (Vitamin B1): Aids in energy utilization from food by promoting proper carbohydrate metabolism. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): Aids in energy utilization from food Niacin (Vitamin B3): Present in all cells in the body helps convert food into energy; involved in fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6): Important in protein and amino acid metabolism Folic Acid: Adequate amounts of this B vitamin (folic acid) as part of a healthy diet can help reduce the risk of birth defects of the brain and spine Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12): Helps form red blood cells and build vital genetic material (nucleic acids) for the cell nucleus Biotin: Necessary for formation of fatty acids & for production of energy from glucose Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Involved in converting carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy Calcium: Helps build and maintain strong teeth and bones. Iron: Necessary for proper formation of oxygen-rich red blood cells & plays important role in the transport of oxygen Phosphorous: Helps build and maintain teeth and bones Iodine: Essential for formation of thyroid hormone thyroxin which governs metabolism and growth Magnesium: Maintains proper levels of calcium and potassium Zinc: The important antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD), requires zinc, together with copper and manganese, to function. Zinc is also essential for the metabolism of vitamin A, another important antioxidant, enhance wound healing. Selenium: Role as an antioxidant in the enzyme selenium-glutathione-peroxidase. Copper: Involved in brain and red cell function, iron metabolism, bone health and protein synthesis Manganese: Necessary for normal growth and development, reproduction and cell function Chromium: Necessary for normal carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism Molybdenum: Important for normal cell function Potassium: It is part of a number of metabolic actions, especially those that involve release of energy Boron: Boron affects calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus balance and the mineral movement and make up of the bones by regulating the hormones, mainly parathyroid that control these functions. Nickel: Enhances the body's use of iron Silicon: May be necessary for normal cartilage, collagen and bone formation. Silicon promotes firmness and strength in the tissues. Tin: Necessary for normal growth & Cell metabolism. Vanadium: Pharmacological studies in animals suggest that vanadium may be involved in hormone, glucose, fat, bone and tooth metabolism as well as reproduction and growth. Lutein: Super antioxidant that provides protection against free radicals.

Taken with food.
