UltraNutrient

• New Enhanced Formula
• Multi-vitamin/mineral formula with advanced antioxidants
• Exceptional broad-spectrum nutritional support

UltraNutrient is an advanced performance, multi-nutrient supplement. Utilizing some of the most highly recognized antioxidants, nutrients, and botanicals, UltraNutrient enhances Nutrient 950 with taurine, coenzyme Q10, and reduced glutathione, as well as standardized extracts of hawthorn, ginger, milk thistle and turmeric. This formula also introduces forms of vitamins and minerals newly recognized for their bioavailability and potency, including: calcium from microcrystalline hydroxyapatite, vitamin C as ascorbyl palmitate, and beta carotene from mixed carotenoids.

UltraNutrient is an advanced formula designed to provide additional nutritional support when higher potency supplementation is desired.

What Is It?
UltraNutrient® combines the core vitamins and minerals of Nutrient 950® with advanced antioxidants and standardized phytonutrient extracts to provide a supplement of exceptional broad-spectrum nutritional support.*

Uses For UltraNutrient®
Enhanced Antioxidant Support: Like Nutrient 950, UltraNutrient provides a high profile of free radical scavenging antioxidants important for cardiovascular,
immune, and cellular health. In addition, UltraNutrient contains reduced glutathione, alpha lipoic acid and an enhanced level of mixed cartotenoids for high capacity
antioxidant support.*

Enhanced Cardiovascular System Support: In addition to folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 , this formula also provides hawthorn extract, CoQ10, and ginger extract to help promote cardiovascular health.*

Enhanced Liver Support: Curcuma longa (turmeric) supports liver cell function, while silybum marianum (milk thistle) promotes glutathione production and superoxide dismutase activity to protect the liver from free-radical damage. Milk thistle also stimulates protein synthesis for new liver tissue and optimal hepatic functioning.*
