Description

Advanced Vegan

 Vegetarian Multi-Vitamin / Antioxidant Program

Advanced Vegan
is a comprehensive multiple vitamin, mineral, and anti-oxidant program.
Ingredients found in common multi-vitamins often contain cheaper,
hidden vitamin sources. Advanced Vegan uses more creative, healthier animal-free sourced nutrients.

Advanced Vegan
contains a healthy amount of vitamins and minerals with antioxidants
that fight free radicals. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms
with an unpaired number of electrons, and can be formed when oxygen
interacts with certain molecules. Once formed, these highly reactive
free radicals can start a chain reaction, possibly damaging cellular
components such as DNA or cell membranes.

Betatene® may be the most important antioxidant element contained in Advanced Vegan.
It is a combination of mixed carotenoids (beta-carotene and
alpha-carotene) found in many fruits and vegetables. It also contains
carotenoids derived from Dunaliella salina algae. The body converts
roughly 40 percent of these carotenes into Vitamin A in the small
intestine. The remainder of the carotenes act as potent antioxidants.

Advanced Vegan
serves as an energy source because of the B Vitamins presence. B
Vitamins supply fuel for the body, especially the highly absorbable B12
methylcobalamin, which many vegans lack because it comes mainly from
meat sources. Niacinamide is used to treat high cholesterol, anxiety,
stress and circulatory problems. Folic acid is important for every
pregnant woman because it is critical in preventing birth defects. B
Vitamins are also important in cardiovascular function. Biotin helps
incorporate amino acids into protein, fuses sugar and fat molecules and
assists in carbohydrate metabolism. Zinc is an important mineral needed
for creating antioxidant enzymes in the body, and helps battle macular
degeneration. A 1995 study of 151 people with macular degeneration
showed those who took 100mg of zinc twice daily experienced less visual
loss over two years than those who didn’t. (1) Zinc’s main antioxidant
function is preventing fat oxidation. It is a constituent of the
antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). (1) It is important for
proper maintenance of Vitamin E in the blood and Vitamin A absorption.
SOD is the most powerful enzyme produced in the body. It is a potent
antioxidant.

What makes Advanced Vegan
even more impressive is the signature plant-based digestive enzyme
blend Advanced Vegan employs. Digeseb Plus® is the proprietary blend of
enzymes which help digest food, minerals and proteins. Enzymes are
dependant on coenzymes, including B Vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and
Zinc to be fully active. (2) Some of the most recommended antioxidants
for bodybuilders and athletes, some of which are vegans, are Vitamins
C, E, carotenes (beta-carotene), selenium and alpha lipoic acid.
Lastly, the amino acid L-carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids
into the energy-producing centers of the cells, the mitochondria, where
95% of cellular energy occurs. L-carnitine helps convert fat into the
energy needed to support the healthy functioning of the muscles, heart,
brain, and sperm. Since vegan diets are low in L-carnitine, Advanced Vegan contains 100mg of L-carnitine from L-carnitine magnesium citrate which helps compliment any vegan diet
