Need:We are not getting the nutrition we need from our diets.
Less than 20% of adults eat the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables.
Problem:
We take a multivitamin to help fill the nutritional gaps in our diets, but traditional multivitamins have two main problems:
Solubility:
Unlike nutrients found naturally in plants, minerals in supplements are isolated and are less soluble in the intestines
Free Radical Generation:
Isolated minerals found in other supplements sold in the marketplace release free radicals that can rob antioxidants (e.g. vitamins A, C, and E) of their effectivenessMelaleuca's
Solution:
The Vitality Pack® with patent-pending Oligofructose Complex binds minerals to organic compounds (oligofructose and amino acids) to mirror the way minerals are found in fruits and vegetables to help resolve the problems with traditional multivitamins.
Oligofructose Complex helps keep minerals soluble in the intestine— where nutrient absorption takes place
Oligofructose Complex helps protect the potency of vitamins by guarding the minerals, reducing their ability to generate excess free radicals
Oligofructose Complex Is Exclusive to MelaleucaPatent-pending Oligofructose Complex was developed by Melaleuca scientists, verified by independent scientific review, and is exclusive to Melaleuca!
Independently Researched and Tested
* Solubility of copper, iron, manganese, and zinc at intestinal pH (7.0 - 7.2). Solubility for Melaleuca's form was determined as percent of ingredient remaining in solution at pH 7.0 after being at pH 1.0 (stomach conditions). Competitors' ingredients solubility data taken from Merck Index and Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.
Solubility is the key to absorption. With Oligofructose Complex, the minerals were shown to be over nine times more soluble than the forms used in One A Day® and Centrum.®*
† Inorganic forms of copper is defined as 100% rate of free radical generation (determined as a result of free radical oxidation of 2',7'- dichlorofluorescein catalyzed by different forms of copper).
Binding minerals such as copper and iron using Oligofructose Complex provides a free radical reduction rate of over 75%—significantly higher than the competition.
