Beta-carotene and vitamin C for healthy skin An antioxidant for the maintenance of good health Helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins and supports healthy glucose metabolism Helps in the function of the thyroid gland A source of vitamin A to help maintain eyesight, skin, membranes and immune function Helps prevent deficiencies of vitamins A, C, B6, B12, pantothenic acid, biotin, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, zinc, manganese and chromium Multi Glyco is a combination of vitamins and minerals that helps maintain skin health and macronutrient metabolism. Beta-carotene is a provitamin A carotenoid pigment.1 Since it can be converted to vitamin A in the body, it is an important source of vitamin A to help maintain eyesight, membranes, immune function and skin.1 Vitamin C further maintains skin health through its role in the synthesis of collagen, the main structural protein found in connective tissue and the main protein involved in wound healing.2 Vitamin C synergistically maintains the antioxidant defense system with selenium, which is required for the production of antioxidant enzymes that prevent free radical damage to lipid membranes.3,4 The highest levels of selenium and iodine are found in the thyroid gland.4 Iodine is required for the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism as well as body and brain growth and development.4 B vitamins help mediate hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism.3 Niacin, thiamine, and biotin help supply important substrates for energy production in the Krebs cycle, while vitamins B6 and B12 help convert the amino acid homocysteine to methionine for protein production.3 Chromium promotes healthy glucose metabolism by mediating the actions of insulin, including regulating glucose uptake into cells and promoting its storage as glycogen.5,6 NPN 80036321 03501 1.
