Iron is a vital mineral carrying oxygen to cells for optimum energy production. Vitamin B12 and folic acid act closely together and help form new red blood cells. Vitamin C increases the body's ability to absorb and use iron and works in partnership with folic acid.
The mineral magnesium is required for the manufacture of bone and cells, the relaxation of muscles, activating B vitamins, protein and fatty acid formulation, clotting of blood and the formation of ATP (the energy the body runs on). It is also involved in the function of insulin. Vitamin B6 assists the uptake of magnesium into cells.

Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium are beneficial, health supporting bacteria found in the digestive tract. Adequate quantities of these are needed to keep a healthy balance of the gut flora and a probiotic supplement may play a role in maintaining good digestion. Fructooligosaccharides, naturally occuring carbohydrates, support the growth of bifidobacterium.
