For OPTIMAL NUTRITION, a multi-dose strategy is most effective. One (1) tablet after each meal and/or snack (up to six tablets per day maximum). This will ensure all water-soluble vitamins and other nutrients are consistently replenished throughout the day.
Many multi-vitamins are coated with a varnish or lacquer making them easy to swallow BUT hard to digest. Not these. You can break them in your fingers. That means they start to disintegrate immediately -- for full utilization.
As a physically active person increasing metabolism you'll tend to eat higher quality foods. Digestive enzymes help break down and more fully utilize these foods. Therefore, digestive enzymes were a major consideration in the formulation of this Daily Vitamin & Mineral Formula.
The Daily Multi-Vitamin/Mineral Formula includes Pancreatine 5X consisting of Amylase, Protease and Lipase. This type of enzyme is often expressed in NF units (National Formulary).
Amylase aids in the digestion of carbohydrate.
Protease helps with the digestion of protein and
Lipase with fat.
The conversion rates are remarkable. A daily dosage of the Daily Vitamin & Mineral Formula has the approximate equivalent capacity to digest:
- Amylase: 21 slices of bread
- Protease: 6.5 oz. steak
- Lipase: 2.0 oz. of olive oil
These enzymes adapt to their environment. For example, if you eat only two slices of bread, then, after digesting the two slices, the remaining enzyme is broken down as a protein. This is what’s known as being "amphoteric." Enzymes also are expensive. They account for more than 35% of manufacturing costs.
Nonetheless, we feel it's worth the extra expense to maintain a super-premium multi-vitamin mineral formula specifically developed for athletes, fitness and lifestyle enthusiasts. Compare and judge for yourself.
Warning: Contains digestive enzymes - should NOT be taken on an empty stomach. Not recommended for children or teens under 18.
Typical split dosage 3-6 tablets per day directly after meals and/or snacks
