Metagenics Essential Minerals and Multivitamins Range

Minerals and Vitamins - Vital for Health

Vital Minerals and Vitamins – Are Your Patients Deficient?

Minerals and vitamins are an essential component of any holistic health plan and are vital for a host of physiological processes including:

Exclusive Meta Mag^®  Magnesium, Meta Zn^®  Zinc and Meta Fe^®  Iron – Enhanced Bioavailability to Correct Your Patient’s Deficiencies

Minerals come in many forms and are often difficult to absorb due to:

• Minerals being bound by food ligands, such as phytates.
• Dissociation in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
• Poor compliance due to side effects including diarrhoea and nausea.

As with so many essential nutrients, the mineral and vitamin intake from a typical western diet is far below ideal. Depleted soils and poor quality food choices contribute to broad mineral and vitamin deficiencies in Australian and New Zealand populations.

Metagenics uses only the highest bioavailable minerals to increase absorption and reduce side effects in your patients. Meta Minerals work in the following ways (Figure 1) to ensure therapeutic patient outcomes:

• Meta Minerals do not bind to anti-nutrients (i.e. lectins, oxalates and phytates).
• Meta Minerals resist dissociation in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
• Meta minerals confer superior absorption over other mineral forms.
• Prevention of unwanted digestive side effects (i.e. laxation, constipation and nausea) improving patient compliance.

Metagenics calcium products contain calcium hydroxyapatite, providing calcium supplementation in a highly bioavailable form. Hydroxyapatite is a comprehensive whole bone concentrate that delivers highly absorbable forms of calcium, phosphorous and bioactive growth factors.

Benefits include:

• 26% calcium plus phosphorus in the ratio found in bone.
• Both phosphorus and calcium play essential interdependent roles in bone health.¹
• Type 1 collagen to form the matrix that holds calcium and other mineral crystals in place.
• Growth factors to promote osteoblast activity. Hydroxyapatite has been shown to maintain bone mineral density.

Metagenics Comprehensive Mineral Supplementation

Minerals and vitamins are not found in isolation in nature. Therefore, all Metagenics mineral formulas contain bioavailable minerals plus cofactors to further support absorption, utilisation and correction of deficiency states.

Other key benefits of the range include:

• Activated B vitamins, such as pyridoxal 5-phosphate (vitamin B6), Levomefolic acid (5-MTHF) and Mecobalamin (Co-methylcobalamin) (vitamin B12).
• Scientifically proven ingredients.
• Therapeutic dosages of minerals and vitamins.
