multigenics-90If you suffer from eye disorders such as glaucoma and cataracts or battle skin disorders including acne, eczema, psoriasis and sunburn, you may be deficient in vitamin A. If so you’ll want to check out Multigenics, an optimal multiple vitamin and mineral formula.

This new multivitamin supplement from Metagenics is high in vitamin A as well as a host of other beneficial vitamins that can produce greater energy, immune benefits, heart health and even digestive benefits.

What’s Inside Multigenics?

Multigenics is a versatile product that is offered in chewable tabs, quick dissolving capsules and even a powder should you prefer to intake vitamins with fluid.

Each 6-capsule daily dosage offers over 30 different antioxidant-rich vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and bioflavonoids. The list of beneficial nutrients is long, but key ingredients in this multivitamin are vitamins A, B, C, D E, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and potassium.

Each of the vitamins included work to support the immune system, but every one has additional benefits to our daily routine.

Vitamin A includes carotenoids, which aid in cellular reproduction and the growth of skin, hair, bones and teeth. Eight B vitamins benefit metabolism of nutrients into energy and also produce red blood cells.

While vitamin C is an antioxidant that wards off free radicals in the body, C also creates collagen to form skin and muscle. Vitamin D directly supports calcium but readily absorbing it into the bloodstream. The benefits of vitamin E on the other hand are directly related to its antioxidant capabilities that slow down damage to cells by the production of energy.

Calcium and magnesium are both important to healthy bone growth and strength, but each benefit the muscular system. Calcium allows muscles to contract, while magnesium relaxes muscle tissue.

Iron is essential for transporting oxygen to cells as it produces the hemoglobin that transports oxygen. Zinc in moderate amounts increases energy, metabolism and allows for better night vision.

Potassium is an important mineral during the summer months as it replaces the electrolytes lost during sweat. Those electrolytes are responsible for cooling the body and maintaining proper fluid levels.

Benefits of Multigenics

Although Multigenics is beneficial to all of us with powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, if you suffer from a deficiency in vitamin A or iron, the increased amount of those two nutrients will be directly beneficial.

Vitamin A deficiencies can surface in the form of night-blindness or impaired vision, fatigue, mental confusion and weight loss. Iron deficiencies usually come in the form of anemia or weakness due to loss of blood.

Negatives

While this supplement is beneficial for those with vitamin A deficiencies, the truth is most of us are not deficient in this vitamin. Because vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin instead of water soluble, excessive amounts can be dangerous and cause a variety of symptoms including the increase to bone fractures.

While iron deficiencies are much more common (especially in women, endurance athletes and others who have suffered blood loss), an overdose in iron can lead to heart disease in adults and the mineral can be deadly to children.

Price and Guarantee

A 90-tablet bottle of Multigenics is going to run you $20.95. This will only last for 15 days, so the company also produces the product in a 30 day, 180-tablet bottle for $38.75. Unfortunately if this one doesn’t work out for you, then you’ll be out your cash as there is no guarantee.

Conclusion

For those with known deficiencies to iron or vitamin A, Multigenics is good plan. If that doesn’t describe you we’d suggest consulting a physician first before purchase.
