• Vitamin B-12 is difficult to obtain from a vegetarian diet because vegetarian sources are not very concentrated nor are they commonly available. B-12 is critical to brain and nerve function, and plays an important role in energy production and heart health. Daily supplementation with 500 mcg of the co-enzyme form of this nutrient should support most individuals consuming a vegetarian diet. • Iron is the most difficult mineral to obtain from a vegetarian diet. Vegetarian Support provides 9 mg of Iron per serving.
• Amino acids such as L-Lysine, Methionine and Taurine are not typically well supplied by a vegetarian diet. Both of these processes are critical to overall health and specifically impact energy production and strength.
• Chromium and Vanadium are provided in this formula to support healthy blood sugar levels.
• Bioperine is a patented black pepper extract that has been clinically proven to improve nutrient uptake.
• Plant enzymes support nutrient digestion, assimilation, and spare the body's valuable supply of enzymes saving energy in the digestive process. Plant enzymes have been shown to work synergistically with Bioperine extract.
• Phospholipids aid in the uptake and transport of certain nutrients in the body.
• Phytase enzymes break down the "anti-nutrient" compound phytate found in whole grains that can inhibit nutrient uptake through potential nutrient binding.
