Studies have shown that a high percentage of adults and children in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balances of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management and prevention of chronic disease. Active Life Nutrient Capsules have been formulated to provide nutrients in their active forms, including methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12; MTHF, the active form of folic acid; and P5P, the active form of vitamin B6. This is in addition to active antioxidants, such as alpha lipoic acid, lutein, lycopene, and zeaxanthin.
