Vitamin A – “The grass vitamin”

This important vitamin is disappearing from mainstream diet. Mainly obtained from the fat of animals, birds and fish, but only if their diet includes A or carotenes

Phytonutrients are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and / or anti-proliferative

Most familiar phytonutrients are carotenoids and polyphenols in fruits and vegetables, where they protect plants against damage from insects and pathogens. As food, they provide us similar benefits.

Cobalamin (B12) – The energy vitamin

Involved in many functions in the body, B12 deficiency is quite common and may go unrecognized

Folate (B9) is essential for good health

Folate prevents neural tube defects in newborns, aids development of red blood cells, supports cell production

Glutathione – “King of the antioxidants”

Produced in every cell, glutathione (GSH) is the PRIMARY antioxidant and detoxifier in the cell’s watery cytoplasm

Antioxidants (Vitamins, phytonutrients, others)

Food antioxidants include vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, and phytonutrients, such as carotenoids and polyphenols. Our body can also produce some antioxidants “in-house”
