Ultra Preventive Teen, Douglas Labs Product Name: Ultra Preventive Teen Manufacturer: Douglas Labs Item #: 201036-180X Content: 180 Tabs More Details Ultra Preventive Teen, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, is unique vitamin-mineral-trace element supplement designed for teenagers. The EZ swallow tablets are naturally coated with a vanilla flavor, and smaller in size than adult tablets. The EZ tablets provide over 30 vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other nutrients in bioavailable forms, such as Metafolin®, the bioactive form of folate. Metafolin ® or 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells and is essential for overall health, as it participates as a cofactor in a reaction that involves the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional conversion via the enzyme (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)). In certain populations, the body’s ability to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF by use of this enzyme may be compromised due to genetic differences. Metafolin® contains only the S isomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be the only form of folate to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier. FUNCTIONS Studies show that a high percentage of children in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of many essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for satisfying the special nutritional demands of growth and development during childhood. Ultra Preventive Teen has been carefully designed and formulated to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements without danger of toxic build-up and without side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. INDICATIONS Ultra Preventive Teen is ideal for teenagers that are at risk for vitamin, mineral and trace element deficiencies due to sub-optimal dietary intake and life style. SUGGESTED USE Teenagers (children age 13 and up) take 6 tablets daily, in divided doses with meals or as directed by physician.  Supplement Facts (Ultra Preventive Teen)   Container Size 180 Tabs   Serving Size 6 Tabs   Amount Per 6 Tabs Content %DV     Vitamin A (28% as Vitamin A palmitate/72% as Beta carotene) 7000 IU   Vitamin C (Corn Free) 500 mg   Vitamin D-3 600 IU   Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopheryl succinate) 200 IU   Thiamine 10 mg   Riboflavin/Riboflavin-5-Phosphate 10 mg   Niacinamide/Niacin 25 mg   Vitamin B-6 10 mg   Folate (as L-methylfolate, Metafolin®) 400 mcg   Vitamin B-12 50 mcg   Biotin 150 mcg   Pantothenic Acid 25 mg   Calcium (Citrate/Ascorbate Complex) 300 mg   Iodine (Kelp) 40 mcg   Magnesium (aspartate/taurate/ascorbate complex) 200 mg   Zinc (from Zinc amino acid chelate) 5 mg   Selenium (organic selenium from selenium amino acid complex) 40 mcg   Copper (Amino Acid Chelate) 0.5 mg   Manganese (aspartate/sulfate complex) 4 mg   Chromium GTF (Polynicotinate) 40 mcg   Molybdenum (Amino Acid Complex) 40 mcg   Potassium (Aspartate Complex) 50 mg   Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate 5 mg   Boron (aspartate/citrate complex) 0.5 mcg   Vanadium (amino acid chelate complex) 10 mcg   Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex 25 mg   Inositol 25 mg   Choline (from 25 mg choline citrate/bitartrate) 10 mg   Trace Elements (mineral complex with sea vegetation) 20 mcg   L-Cysteine 48 mg   N-Acetyl L-Cysteine 2 mg   Glutamic Acid 5 mg   Betaine (from 15 mg Betaine HCl) 11 mg   Bromelain 500 mcu     Other ingredients: cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, vegetable stearate, silica, dextrose, titanium dioxide, riboflavin, magnesium silicate, glycerin, natural vanilla flavor.   % Daily Values (DV) are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. * Daily Value (DV) not established.                 About Us   |   Order Status   |   User Agreement   |   Privacy   |   Security   |   Site Map   |   Help
