VitaCal-MagD™ K2

Ensure your calcium does what it’s supposed to

Vitamin K2 ensures the calcium (166.67 mg) in VitaCal-MagD™ K2 does what it’s supposed to— promote the calcification of bones and may support healthy blood vessels.

VitaCal-Mag D K2 also helps maintain proper muscle function, including the heart muscle.

Add in the benefits provided by magnesium (83.33 mg) and Vitamin D3 (166.7 IU), and you have a powerhouse of musculoskeletal support that other supplements on the market simply don’t provide.

Calcium plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones, supporting their structure and function.1 Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient Vitamin D, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. But getting enough calcium from food alone can be a challenge.2 On top of that, calcium absorption may drop by up to 20% in adulthood—and decline even further as we grow older, just when we start needing more.1,3

Your overall system loves B vitamins. They make sure the body’s cells are functioning properly. B12 is probably the most popular of the B vitamins and is vital for neurological functions, energy and red blood cell development, but all of the B vitamins are great for you. Today, let’s talk about the synergistic benefits of how eight individual B vitamins work together to maximize energy and cellular health.

According to the National Institute of Health, B vitamins are primarily responsible for helping your metabolism work properly. B vitamins are dependent on a healthy microbiota in the gut. This shows not only the importance of the synergy of micronutrients working together but also how they rely on gut health.1 Your metabolism involves the chemical processes needed for life, such as making cells, creating energy from the food you eat and breaking down bi-products of energy and waste matter. B vitamins and how they interact with the body are essential to our overall health.

B vitamins are water-soluble, which means that they dissolve in water inside your body and are then easily absorbed into tissue for immediate use. Because B vitamins are so easily absorbed and used, they cannot be stored like fat-soluble vitamins. For this reason, it is important to consume healthy, fresh, unprocessed foods, rich in B vitamins every day. This will also assist healthy microbiota in the gut. Combining foods rich in B vitamins with a healthy gut will maximize optimal digestion and metabolism of vital energy throughout the body. Primary sources of B vitamins in animal products consist of fish, meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products. B vitamins can also be obtained from plant sources such as green leafy vegetables, beans and peas.

B Vitamins and their Benefits

B1 Thiamine: Needed for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, blood sugar regulation as well as nerve and muscle function.2

B2 Riboflavin: Needed for carbohydrate metabolism, red blood cell growth and development and cellular function.3

B3 Niacin: Converts food into energy, creates and repairs DNA, supports healthy cholesterol levels, and maintains cognitive function.4

B5 Pantothenic Acid: Especially important for breaking down fats and metabolizing carbohydrates and protein while supporting muscle endurance, nerve function, cognitive function.5

B6 Pyridoxine: Cardiovascular, brain and nerve support as well as protein metabolism.6

B7 Biotin: Converts carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy and supports skin, hair and nails.7

B9 Folic Acid: Protein metabolism, needed for making DNA and other genetic material for cell replication and important during pregnancy.8

B12 Cyanocobalamin/Methylcobalamin: Protein and fat metabolism, cardiovascular support, nerve fiber support, cognitive support, formation of hemoglobin and prevention of anemia.9

All of these B vitamins work together and are involved in many of the vital functions of the body. Ensuring you are getting adequate amounts of B vitamins daily will enhance overall energy levels and essential vital bodily functions in every stage of life. Cheers to you living with greater energy, vitality and quality of life.

What’s the story behind B12 and Alfred Libby?

By Scott Conard, MD

Alfred Libby, a pioneer in nutrients and health, patented the technology that still powers TriVita’s Slow Dissolve B-12 supplements. His original formula lets the dissolving action of B12 get into the bloodstream without an injection, or swallowing a pill. Alfred Libby was an associate of Linus Pauling, Ph.D., the 2-time Nobel Laureate and “Father of Vitamin C.” Early in his career, Libby discovered the dramatic health changes that B12 could make, and worked for decades to raise awareness.

“We’ve given people back their lives”

Along with B12, Libby was the “star” of TV infomercials beginning in 2000. Here, I’ve selected some of his memorable thoughts: “We’ve given people back their lives,” Libby said. At the time, painful and expensive injections were the only way to supplement effectively with B12. And, undiagnosed B12 deficiency caused untold damage.

Scott Conard, MD, DABFM, FAAFP, has more than 20 years of successful clinical practice, research and leadership experience. Through his Texas-based practice and books he’s authored, he empowers people to take control of their health. “B12 deficiency, undiagnosed and untreated, wreaks havoc,” he declared. This “havoc” took many forms: • Moodiness • Low energy • Lack of focus He would talk about patients who, with Slow Dissolve B-12, went from moodiness and lethargy to enthusiasm and energy… older people, sent to nursing homes because they were disruptive and difficult, becoming “functional human beings again.” A key element in Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12 is its unique delivery system: where the tablets dissolve and get quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Dramatic effects, and a change of career

In my own medical practice, I found the same kinds of patient results that Libby witnessed years before. For years, my medical practice specialized in treating the elderly. Patients would come into my office complaining that they had no energy and felt “low” and they would beg for B12 “shots.” After their shots they became so much more alive, so much more well, that I changed course in my career. I switched my focus to preventive medicine, convinced that the way to make a difference in people’s lives was to help them get the vitamins and nutrients they need before health issues arise. My own experience has shown me the truth of Libby’s statement: “It’s so fulfilling, so gratifying to be involved with this (Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12)… and with the right company, TriVita.” On his original infomercial, Alfred Libby would gesture toward the phone banks and say, “When I see the phones light up it reminds me of the song ‘You Light Up My Life.’ That’s how I feel when I see those lights; people’s lives are lighting up.”
