| Recognizing that superior bioavailability, efficacy
and safety are the hallmarks that differentiate the best ingredients
from many of those commonly supplied to the nutrition industry,
Nutrition 21 offers a select group of premium quality ingredients
to the trade. These include:
SelenoPure® L-selenomethionine
(yeast-free)
Selenium is an essential trace element that is involved in the
body’s defense against free radicals, the regulation of
thyroid hormones, and cell recovery. Selenium is essential for
immunity.
Current research indicates that L-selenomethionine is the only
selenium compound that is incorporated into our body proteins
and stored in tissues. Selenomax® High Selenium Yeast and
SelenoPure™ L-selenomethionine are excellent ingredient
choices for supplying L-selenomethionine. Both are natural,
highly bioavailable, offer excellent stability and have no known
incompatibilities with other nutrients.
SelenoPure™ is more compressible, and therefore, the
preferred choice when incorporating selenium
into multi-ingredient formulations for antioxidant
supplementation; men’s health; prostate
health; colon health and general health.
Zinmax® zinc picolinate
Zinc is an essential mineral vital to metabolism.
Zinc is incorporated into over 200 zinc metalloenzymes
that have been identified in the body’s
systems. Zinc enzymes are involved in: protein
metabolism; energy production; gene regulation;
and maintaining the health of cell membranes.
Zinc is vital for: growth and development;
sexual maturation and reproduction; dark vision
adaptation; smell and taste function; insulin
storage and release; immune function; sperm
health; wound healing; and mental health.
When dietary minerals are combined with picolinic acid, a natural
metal chelator found in breast milk, they are better utilized
at the body’s absorption sites. Utilizing the outstanding
bioavailability characteristics conferred by picolinic acid,
Zinmax® zinc picolinate is often included in the following
formulas for: immune support, vision health, pregnancy (when doctor-approved),
sexual health, fertility, arthritis support, and children’s
health. Zinmax® zinc picolinate also makes an excellent
ingredient choice when formulating a stand-alone zinc supplement.
Magnemax® manganese picolinate
Manganese is an essential trace element believed to be critical
for: growth and development; reproductive function; vision;
insulin metabolism and glucose tolerance; lipid metabolism;
free-radical defenses; nerve health, proper blood clotting;
cellular energy production; and muscle health. Manganese may
also be beneficial for the health of hair and nails.
Utilizing the superb bioavailability characteristics conferred
by picolinic acid, Magnemax® manganese picolinate is often
included as an ingredient in such dietary supplement formulas
for: joint health, sexual health, vision, glucose support, antioxidant,
wound support, energy formulations for; strength training and
sports, and supplements for skin, hair and nail health. |
