Studies show that a high percentage of adults and children in North America eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management and prevention of chronic diseases.

Cysteine and methionine help stimulate the synthesis of glutathione, an important antioxidant which protects against free radicals, such as those which may be produced by exposure to heavy metals and environmental pollutants.

Added Protection III has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements without danger of toxic build-up and without side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety.

Certain potentially toxic nutrients are purposely kept low (vitamin D) or omitted (phosphorus); others, such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production and maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms, such as Albion amino
acid chelates and other scientifically validated and clinically superior forms.

The unique inert cellulose tablet coating consistently disintegrates rapidly for better nutrient absorption.
Beta-carotene is added to the coating to help preserve nutrient activity and naturally colors each tablet pink.
