The Benefits of Vitamin & Mineral Supplements

What are the benefits of Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a substance found in red wine, grapes, raspberries and peanuts and is thought to be the molecule responsible for protecting against clogged arteries. The isolation of the molecule and its protective benefits is considered to be a breakthrough in anti-aging medicine.

Ingredients

Why is there no Resveratrol in the U.S. formulation?

Resveratrol is allowed as a natural health product ingredient only in products manufactured in the U.S. Immunotec's Vitamin and Mineral Supplement is currently manufactured in Canada and cannot be exported. It is hoped that a supplement which includes resveratrol will be available in the U.S. market soon.

What is Chlorella?

Chlorella is a form of microscopic algae and one of the oldest life-forms on our planet; it is one of the first organisms to use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy. Chlorella is included in the formulation of Immunotec's Vitamin and Mineral Supplement because it provides a natural source of an incredible array of nutrients: proteins, essential amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, macrominerals, trace elements, and phytochemicals. Chlorella is such an incredible source of nutrients, it has been nicknamed a superfood.

Manufacturing

Why are the capsules transparent instead of opaque?
