Ultra Preventative III 180 Caps

Ultra Preventive® III by Douglas Laboratories provides a comprehensive vitamin/mineral/trace element formula with bioavailable nutrient forms to support optimal health and wellness. This formula features Vitamin K2 for bone and vascular health; three forms of vitamin B12 for mitochondrial energy and methylation support; Metafolin® L-5-MTHF folate and choline for the homocysteine-methionine cycle; and antioxidants for immune and cellular health.‡   

FUNCTIONS AND MECHANISM OF ACTION Ultra Preventive® III has been carefully developed to contain adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial nutrients and enzymes. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, and safety. The specific nutrients play vital roles and support cellular, heart, cognitive and immune health, among other functions. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant nutrient. It is essential for connective tissue and bone metabolism, capillary health, and immune function. Vitamin E is recognized as a fat-soluble antioxidant. It provides cell stabilization and supports cell membranes.‡  Calcium and magnesium are included in a 1:1 ratio in bioavailable amino acid chelate and citrate forms to support bone and tissue health. Vitamin D is responsible for the absorption of calcium into the blood, and vitamin K2 supports deposition of blood calcium into bones and teeth. Thus, vitamin K2 is important for the proper distribution and utilization of calcium throughout the body.‡  This formula contains methylated folate and vitamin B12, which are active forms of these nutrients. Hydroxycobalamin is a precursor form of vitamin B12 converted in the body to both methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. While methylcobalamin is found in the cytosol of cells and is predominate in blood and other fluids, adenosylcobalamin is the major form of vitamin B12 stored in the mitochondria of cellular tissues. Folate is offered in this formula as Metafolin® 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), the universally metabolized and biologically active form of folate.‡  Choline acts as a methyl donor for homocysteine and folate metabolism in the methylation cycle following conversion to betaine, and as a structural component of cellular membranes and synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Choline and inositol are lipotropic factors that support liver function and promote healthy mobilization of fats and bile.‡
