Education:

Quatrefolic®
Folic acid and folate are the unmetabolised, inactive versions of vitamin B9 that must be metabolised down to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) in order to be active. Quatrefolic® is a (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate glucosamine salt, an activated vitamin B9 with sustained stability, high water-solubility and increased bioavailability.
Vitashine Vitamin D 
Vitashine uses the oily extract of Lichen, a unique plant species made up of fungus and algae. Lichen is naturally rich in vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and fatty acids. While most vitamin D3 supplements are derived from lanolin (sheep’s wool), Vitashine is the only vegan, plant-based source of vitamin D3.
Annatto Tocotrienols
Vitamin E encompasses eight separate molecules belonging to either the tocopherol or tocotrienol grouping. There are four tocotrienols - delta, gamma, alpha and beta. Recent studies have revealed that vitamin E tocopherols impede the body’s absorption of tocotrienols. This discovery is significant as tocotrienols, particularly the delta and gamma molecules, do remarkable work in the body. The annatto plant is exceptionally rich in tocotrienols and recent advances have allowed for the extraction of only the delta and gamma tocotrienols from annatto.
B Vitamins in Energy Production
  • Vitamin B1 as thiamin diphosphate is involved in several reactions that produce ATP via a coenzyme role.
  • Vitamin B2 as the coenzymes flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) is involved in the redox reaction required for energy production.
  • Vitamin B3 as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is involved in the metabolism of macronutrients and macromolecules which is necessary for energy production.
  • Vitamin B5 is an essential precursor required for the synthesis of Coenzyme A. Coenzyme A as acetyl-CoA is a necessary component of the citric acid cycle where it is oxidised for energy production.
  • Vitamin B6 as pyridoxine-L-phosphate is vital to the function of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase. Glycogen phosphorylase aids in the release of stored glycogen from muscle and liver tissue for energy production.
  • In order to extract energy from macronutrients, adequate amounts of succinyl CoA are essential. Succinyl CoA needs to be converted from L-methylmalonyl CoA - a conversion that involves vitamin B12 as 5-deoxyadenosyl cobalamin.

Immune System Support

Vitamin B6 is required for the synthesis of amino acids which, in turn, are required for cytokine production.9 B12 exerts an immunomodulatory effect on cellular immunity by influencing cytotoxic cells and the production of antibodies. Vitamin C provides support for epithelial cells, creating a stronger barrier against pathogenic invasion. This water-soluble vitamin enhances chemotaxis and phagocytosis and is also shown to support B- and T-cell proliferation and differentiation. Vitamin D inhibits B cell proliferation and differentiation, while also blocking the proliferation of T cells, leading to the regulation of the T helper 1 to T helper 2 ratios. Vitamin D aids in the induction of T-regulatory cells, leading to a decrease in inflammatory cytokine production and a subsequent increase in anti-inflammatory cytokine production. Dendritic cell differentiation and maturation is also inhibited by adequate vitamin D, improving self-tolerance. Zinc is vital to the healthy development and function of cells involved in the mediation of neutrophils and natural killer cells. The processes of phagocytosis, cytokine production and intracellular killing of invading pathogens all require adequate zinc. Zinc also supports the healthy growth and function of T and B cells. Betacarotene supports immune function by stimulating the growth and function of cytotoxic T-cells, B- and T-lymphocytes, the production of cytokines and the function of macrophages.

Healthy Nervous System Function

Vitamins B1 and B5 are necessary for the production of myelin to insulate and protect nerves, as well as neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine, serotonin and precursor amino acids. Vitamin B6 is essential for the normal function of the nervous system and is also responsible for normal neurotransmitter production, including dopamine, serotonin and GABA.14 Vitamin B12 is an essential coenzyme in numerous biochemical processes that help to maintain nervous system health and function. B12 is also vital to the production of myelin in its role in the DNA synthesis of the oligodendrocytes that produce myelin. High levels of vitamin C in the adrenal glands, along with its release as a response to adrenocorticotrophic hormone highlight that it is an essential nutrient for nervous system function and stress response. Vitamin C is released at a higher rate when the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is activated, suggesting higher intake is needed during times of greater stress.
  Health Hair, Skin and Connective Tissue
Vitamin C is a cofactor required for prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase - enzymes that are involved in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine, also known as “pro-collagen”. Therefore, vitamin C is required for collagen synthesis. Vitamin C aids in maintaining skin and soft tissue health, including healing and repair. Vitamins B2, B3, B5 and B6 are distributed throughout the body where they help maintain healthy skin cells and other tissues. Biotin has been found to support the health of hair and skin cells where there is a deficiency. This may be due to its role as a coenzyme in a number of major metabolic reactions, as well as cell signalling. The importance of zinc for skin and hair health is due to two of its major physiological functions - its involvement in cell growth/replication and integrity, including hair and skin cells. Similarly, carotenoids such as betacarotene are involved in cell proliferation, growth and differentiation, as well as protecting the lipid cell membranes from oxidation - functions that are all required for healthy skin and hair.
 
Support for Healthy Gums and Bones
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient in the health of the gums. Adequate vitamin C intake helps to prevent gum inflammation, swelling and bleeding by maintaining the integrity of the tissue. Deficiency of vitamin C can lead to impaired bone health due to a decrease in bone formation and an increase in osteoclast formation. Vitamin C has been shown in animal models to maintain bone density.24 Healthy bone development and mineralisation also rely heavily on vitamin D status; vitamin D enhances calcium absorption and aids in the mineralisation of osteoid tissue (the unmineralised portion of bone matrix that undergoes calcification) formation.  There is also growing interest in the benefits that Vitamin K has been shown to exert on bone mineralisation. Proposed mechanisms for the importance of Vitamin K in bone health include providing a positive influence on calcium balance and acting as a cofactor in the gamma-carboxylation reaction of osteocalcin - a protein required in bone mineralisation. Magnesium homeostasis is vital to bone health - deficiency in this mineral is associated with a decrease in osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity
