[Guest guest]

Hi Kim,

I was so excited because I found this children multi-vitamins with mg

and zn. I copied and pasted what it says on the website but when I

checked the type of mg is oxide, is it just cheaper? It has all

kinds of great stuff, but after knowing that it does not have the

right type of mg, kind of makes me wonder about the rest:-(

This is what it says.......

Formulated With:

Vanadium- Vanadium is a trace mineral that acts as a co-factor for

enzymes involved in blood sugar metabolism, lipid and cholesterol

metabolism, teeth and bone development, fertility, thyroid function

and hormone production.

Thiamin-This important B vitamin is crucial for turning food into

energy. Thiamin also helps get your brain the fuel it needs, warding

off depression and forgetfulness.

Riboflavin-Riboflavin is essential because it gives your cells

energy, regulates cell growth, and helps you make antibodies for

fighting disease. Riboflavin has been shown to greatly reduce the

frequency and severity of migraine headaches. There is also research

to show that this important B vitamin improves memory.

Folic Acid-This B Vitamin guarantees the speedy replacement of blood

cells that wear out of every day, especially red blood cells and skin

cells. Folic Acid also prevents birth defects, heart disease and may

even help prevent cancer. Studies done in Massachusetts show that low

levels of Folic Acid in the body may be linked to depression.

Vitamin B12- Also known as Cobalamin, this important vitamin makes

sure you produce the many millions of red blood cells you need

everyday. Red blood cells carry nutrients and oxygen throughout your

body and without them you develop Anemia. B12 also forms the

protective insulation around your nerves which keeps them functioning

properly. And Cobalamin is good for your heart.

Biotin-You need Biotin to properly process the amino acids and fats

in food. Biotin also keeps hair healthy and deficiencies of it can

cause hair loss.

Panthothenic Acid-helps you use fats and carbohydrates to make

energy, hormones and red blood cells.

B-6: Pyridoxine - Vitamin B-6 also known as Pyridoxine is a water

soluble vitamin. It is needed to make hormones, proteins and enzymes.

This vitamin has also been studied because of it's benefits in

helping to prevent heart disease. The main job of pyridoxine is

shuffling around your amino acids to make the 5,000 plus proteins

your body needs to function. It is also involved in making 60

different enzymes.

Niacin - Niacin, commonly referred to as B-3 and is water soluble. It

releases energy, makes hormones, removes toxins and helps keep

cholesterol normal.

Calcium - Calcium is the mineral in bodies that make up bones and

keep them strong. 99% of a body's calcium is stored in the bones and

teeth. The remaining 1% is in the blood and soft tissues and is

essential for life and health. Without this tiny 1% of calcium,

muscles would not contract correctly, blood would not clot, and

nerves would not carry messages. When the intake of calcium is not

sufficient, the body takes what it needs from the bones. If this

continues, the bones become weak and break easily. This leads to the

crippling bone disease known as osteoporosis. Approximately 25

million women have a degree of osteoporosis, and it will effect 1/3

to 1/2 of all post-menopausal women.

Vitamin D- Vitamin D is essential for keeping strong bones. It helps

to strengthen the immune system and helps improve hearing. Vitamin D

has also been shown to be an effective tool in the prevention of

certain kinds of cancer, especially colon cancer. Vitamin D is also

critical for the proper absorption of Calcium.

Magnesium- Like Vitamin D, Magnesium works in accord with Calcium to

help keep bones strong. Magnesium also helps control heart

arrhythmia, and is used in the treatment of diabetes and asthma.

Magnesium helps your muscles relax which in turn prevents high blood

pressure, and it even helps eradicate migraine headaches.

Copper- Copper's main function is keeping your heart and blood

vessels in good shape. Copper is important for your arteries and your

nerves. Copper also keeps red blood cells healthy and helps produce

an important antioxidant in the body known as SOD.

Zinc - Zinc is essential for normal growth and development. It is an

important factor in building immunity. It helps maintain skin, hair

and bones and keep reproductive organs functioning. Zinc aids the

perception of taste and the ability to see at night. Vitamin A is

effective with Zinc.

Vitamin A- Vit. A is necessary to new cell growth. It helps fight

infection and is essential for healthy skin, good blood, strong bones

and teeth, kidneys, bladder, lungs and membranes. It promotes growth

and repairs body tissues and is essential for night vision. Note:

This is a fat soluble vitamin and excesses are stored by the body.

Beta Carotene- Beta carotene provides the body with a safe (not fat

soluble) source of Vitamin A, beta carotene is an anti-oxidant that

works with other natural protectors to defend cells from harmful free

radicals damage. Beta carotene is converted to Vitamin A in the body.

Vitamin C- Vitamin C is vital to collagen formation, the connective

substance in all cells. It is an important anti-oxidant that helps

defend cells against free radical damage. It also promotes healthy

cell development, wound healing, resistance to infections. It's need

is increased by physical stress.

Vitamin E - Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant that prevents the premature

reaction of oxygen in the body. It helps protect cells from free

radical damage and is key for normal growth and development.

Selenium - Selenium works with Vitamin E as an anti-oxidant and binds

with toxins in the body, rendering them harmless. Vitamin E and beta

carotene are effective with Selenium.

Manganese -Manganese is essential for reproductive function, physical

growth, normal formation of bones and cartilage and normal brain

function. Vitamin E is effective with manganese.

Chromium -Chromium acts cooperatively with other substances to

control insulin and certain enzymes.

Molybdenum - Molybdenum is a component of three enzymes and is

involved in the metabolism of DNA and RNA. It helps breakdown toxic

build ups of sulfites in the body.

PABA-PABA is used to improve protein use in the body and is essential

for the production of folic acid in the digestive system. PABA is

also involved in the production of red blood cells and a deficiency

of PABA can lead to depression and fatigue.

Iron-Iron is a trace mineral responsible for carrying oxygen to your

blood. If you don't get enough iron your body starts producing fewer

red blood cells, leading to anemia, a condition leading to fatigue,

shortness of breath and pale skin.

Iodine-Iodine is responsible for making thyroid hormones, hormones

that control the body's metabolism. Iodine plays a role in keeping

growth, cell reproduction, and nerve response at optimum levels.

L-Cysteine-This amino acid is important in many of the body's

processes. It works in the liver to remove harmful substances and

helps prevent the oxidation of tissues. Together with glycine and

glutamic acid, Cysteine forms the extremely important antioxidant

glutathione. It is a major component of skin and hair and is

essential for production of T-cells.

Dl-Methionine-This essential amino acid is essential for survival. It

is important in the body's detoxification processes and can convert

to other amino acids. It is important for the breakdown and

metabolism of protein and plays a key role in regulating folic acid.

It has been shown to help with depression, withdrawal, and liver

disorders.

Vitamin K-This important vitamin is essential for causing blood to

clot when you get cut and helps bones grow. Recent research indicates

that Vitamin K may be good for slowing down or destroying cancer

cells
