PIONEER 1+ Vitamin/Mineral is the first multivitamin supplement that can be consumed safely as a complete one-per-day for general health maintenance, or as a two-per-day for those with more active, high stress lifestyles or other acute nutritional needs. People's nutritional needs are not all the same. That is why PIONEER created a flexible dosage once daily multivitamin. PIONEER Original 1+V/M tablets (with iron) were introduced in 1994, and soon became PIONEER's best-selling multiple vitamin/mineral. After getting frequent requests for an iron-free multi, PIONEER introduced Iron-Free 1+ V/M tablets to the 1+family.
Flexible servings: A complete, hypoallergenic, one-per-day that can be safely taken twice a day. Unlike time-released, once-daily vitamins that often breakdown incompletely, 1+Vitamin/Mineral disintegrates efficiently for rapid absorption.
Excellent absorption and utilization of nutrients: 1+ Vitamin/Mineral include the chelates aspartate, glycinate, citrate, malate, methionate and glutathion-ate, B-complex coenzymes and natural source trace minerals. Current research suggests that many of the select forms of nutrients used in 1+V/M are closer to the body’s own chemistry than commonly used forms. Although far more costly, these preferred forms are more efficiently absorbed, transported and utilized within the cells of the body.
High levels of free radical fighting antioxidants: Dangerous free radicals can depress the body’s natural defense system and predispose cells to premature aging and death. PIONEER1+V/M includes one of the highest combined levels of free radical fighting antioxidants (vitamins C and E,beta carotene and mixed carotenoids, selenium, etc.) of any 1/day multi.
B-coenzymes: Riboflavin 5’phosphate, pyridoxal 5’phosphate and coenzymate B12 are the most highly absorbable B vitamins available. Because they are pre-activated, they do not need to be converted in the liver and can be directly transported to needed sites in the body.
Multiple sources of nutrients to accommodate differing abilities to absorb nutrients:. Using multiple forms and sources gives the body a greater opportunity to distinguish and utilize each nutrient. Six of the vitamins and ten of the chelated minerals in 1+Vitamin/ Mineral are derived from two or more sources of the same nutrient (e.g.:zinc from picolinate,lysinate and methionate).
Rich natural sources of trace minerals and micronutrients: Concentrated organic food sources including spirulina, chlorella, barley grass and sea minerals endow 1+V/M with vital trace elements and other micronutrients that are often absent from food grown in commercial soils.
Free of Gluten, Yeast and Other Common Food Allergens: PIONEER1+V/M contains no gluten, wheat, yeast, corn, eggs or dairy products, and no added colorings, flavorings, sweeteners, salt, synthetic preservatives, solvents, binders, excipients or coatings. (Though unlikely, traces of rice, soy and citrus may be present.)
Natural manufacturing agents only: cellulose, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate.
100% Vegetarian: All of the ingredients 1+Vitamin/Mineral have been carefully selected to come from non-animal sources.
