What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a substance found in red wine, grapes, raspberries and peanuts and is thought to be the molecule responsible for protecting against clogged arteries. The isolation of the molecule and its protective benefits has been considered to be a great advance in anti-aging medicine.

Why is there no Resveratrol in the U.S. formulation?

Resveratrol is allowed as a natural health product ingredient only in products manufactured in the U.S. Immunotec's Vitamin and Mineral Supplement is currently manufactured in Canada and cannot be exported. It is hoped that a supplement which includes resveratrol will be available in the U.S. market soon.

What is Chlorella?

Chlorella is a form of microscopic algae and one of the oldest life-forms on our planet; it is one of the first organisms to use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy. Chlorella is included in the formulation of Immunotec's Vitamin and Mineral Supplement because it provides a natural source of an incredible array of nutrients: proteins, essential amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, macrominerals, trace elements, and phytochemicals. Chlorella is such an incredible source of nutrients, it has been nicknamed a "superfood."

What is the RDA? RDI? DRI?

First established in 1943, RDA stands for "recommended daily allowance". It represents the minimal amount of a vitamin needed to prevent illness. (For examples, a deficiency of vitamin C may cause scurvy. A deficiency in vitamin B or niacin may cause pellagra). RDI is a similar term which stands for Recommended Daily Intake. DRI is a newer term standing for "dietary reference intake".

Does Immunotec's Vitamin-mineral supplement contain the RDA? RDI? IDR?

No, it exceeds it. Immunotec believes that a higher dosage is necessary to achieve optimal health. Newer terms are being elaborated on, with various terms like ODI (optimal daily intake) or even PRD (performance related dose) which reflect wellness rather that lack of disease.

What is a trace element?

It is any element required by living organisms in extremely minute amounts. Although these are essential for life in extremely low quantities, it would be too difficult to add these one-by-one to a vitamin pill. This is why using a plant like chlorella which naturally contains these elements, can ensure their delivery.

What is a micronutrient?

Similar to the term "trace element" micronutrients are needed only in minuscule amounts. These substances are critical components that enable the body to produce enzymes, hormones and other substances essential for proper growth and development.

Is the gelatin capsule animal-or vegetable-sourced?

The capsule is from a vegetable source.

Why is there no iron in this "complete" formulation?

Some individuals do not tolerate iron supplementation. Immunotec's medical professionals suggest that iron be used on an as-needed basis only.

Why is there no calcium in the "complete" formulation?

Immunotec's medical professionals suggest that in order for calcium to be taken in appropriate doses a stand-alone supplement should be used.

Why is there no vitamin K in this "complete" formulation?

Vitamin K may not be appropriate for people on anticoagulants (blood thinners) or for people who bleed or bruise easily. Immunotec did not want to exclude these people from benefitting from the product.

Why does the Canadian formulation contain 21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients whereas the USA formulation contains only 20?

The Canadian and the U.S. formulations are the same, except for the inclusion of Resveratrol in the Canadian product.

Why are the capsules transparent instead of opaque?

Transparent capsules have been used to avoid the incorporation of the chemical agents required in coloured capsules.

Why is "Trans-Resveratrol" mentioned on the label?

There are two forms of Resveratrol; the "cis-" and the "trans-" form. The "trans-resveratrol used in Immunotec's Vitamin and Mineral supplement is the biologically active form of resveratrol.

Are there any side-effects when taking the Vitamin and Mineral Supplement?

Rarely, an individual who is sensitive to niacin may experience a "Niacin Flush" which is a feeling of heat and visible redness of the skin after exposure to vitamin B3. This will disappear over time and requires no treatment. Each time niacin is taken, the flush may get less severe. Niacin flush may be avoided by taking the supplement with food.

When is the best time to take the Vitamin and Mineral Supplement?
