Vita•Min•Balance™ For Women

Ashwagandha is one of the most powerful herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine, the ancient medicine of India. It is well known for its restorative and strengthening effects, especially when it comes to stress and immunity. Ashwagandha is referred to as an adaptogen. This means that it helps your body "adapt" better to stress, be it physical, emotional or mental. We use ashwagandha for its ability to promote healthy energy, a sense of vitality, and a healthy response to stress.

Research now attributes ashwagandha's powerful actions to its special compounds known as withanolides. Our ashwagandha is a concentrated SuperPure® extract with verified activity of these compounds for optimal benefit. Purity is paramount; our ashwagandha extract is also certified organic, vegan, non-GMO, and meets our strict standards for quality and purity.

Choline is an essential nutrient required for life, and is usually teamed up with the B vitamins in terms of function. It was formally believed our bodies could make enough choline to meet our daily requirement but it's since been determined the importance of outside help from our diet and supplements. Choline is essential for optimal brain development and supports healthy cognitive function, among other things. The need for choline is even higher in pregnancy when a baby's brain is miraculously forming.

Our choline is "grown" using our unique 3-step transformation process, which combines the use of organic fruits and veggies with the long-standing principles of fermentation. The result is a unique form of choline that brings you the best of real, wholesome food and that is perfectly balanced and compatible with your body. Shouldn't your supplements follow nature's lead?

Used in India for thousands of years as both a medicine and a sacred protector of life, holy basil is also known as "Tulsi" and "The Incomparable One." When a plant has "holy" in its name, it must be something truly special! What makes holy basil so divine? It's considered a mood enhancer, a digestive tonic, an immune aid, and an all-around wellness and vitality supporter.

Our holy basil is a SuperPure® concentrated extract with verified activity of its most valuable compounds for optimal benefit. Purity is paramount; our holy basil extract is also certified organic, vegan, non-GMO, and meets our strict standards for quality and purity.

Ayurveda, the ancient medicine of India, reveres this herb for its positive effects on our reproductive and hormonal systems. It is thought of as a rejuvenative tonic for women and men of all ages — young, middle-aged, and elders who are seeking graceful hormonal transitions. Shatavari is also considered an energy and strength promoter, and may support healthy digestive function. We utilize only our safe SuperPure processing to create a concentrated, certified organic extract of the highest caliber.

Fermented soy is a centuries old preparation of soy that renders it highly nutritive and wholesome. Asian cultures have long used small amounts of fermented soy in their daily diets as a health and wellness food. Fermentation of soy ensures a safe and highly beneficial product that nullifies the sensitivity and hard to digest nature of beans for some people. Fermentation results in a nutrient-dense form of soy that is a wonderful addition to our diets. We use certified organic, non-GMO fermented soy in small amounts as a nutritious protein source in our whole-food vitamin growing process. The soy is actually digested during the process and broken down into its amino acid components so there are only small amounts of it present in our finished products. All of our products that contain soy or use soy during our vitamin-making process are labeled as such.

Recent scientific studies confirm that both forms of vitamin K are critical to bone health, cardiovascular health, blood clotting, and overall wellness. Along with vitamin D, vitamin K holds the job of directing calcium traffic, keeping it in the bone where it belongs and out of your blood vessels where it may cause calcified plaques. Vitamin K is also integral to the creation of osteocalcin, an essential bone hormone, and to the development of a myriad of small proteins that make up the microscopic world inside your bones.

Our certified organic vitamin K1 is made through our special fermentation process using organic vegetables, fruits, and other natural food sources. This creates a vitamin that is naturally bound in a synergy of beneficial cofactors and whole-food compounds. Our K2 vitamin is exclusively made for us in Japan, where it is derived from non-GMO natto, a wholesome traditional, fermented food used for centuries to promote good health.

Vitamin E is a potent, broad-spectrum antioxidant for our whole bodies. Because it is fat-soluble, it has a special affinity for our lipid-rich cell membranes, keeping them fluid and healthy. Healthy cells equal a healthy body as we age so it's important to get plenty of vitamin E through diet and supplementation. Despite its name, vitamin E is not just a singular vitamin but rather a group of eight different compounds — four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Although alpha-tocopherol is the most well-studied and utilized vitamin E compound in supplements, research is emphasizing the vital need for the "whole."

Our whole-food vitamins contain full spectrum vitamin E including mixed tocotrienols, which scientists are discovering have an instrumental role in aging and overall well-being.

Micro-minerals like zinc perform essential regulatory and structural functions in our bodies. As our soils become depleted, our foods more processed, and our bodies more stressed, micro-mineral supplementation is needed more than ever. Zinc is actually a common deficiency, both worldwide and in the USA (in a milder form). Zinc is essential to the proper functioning of our immune, reproductive, and digestive systems. It also aids in hair and skin health as well as blood sugar regulation, energy metabolism, and muscle/bone growth. Zinc, although present in vegetarian diets, is tied up by a compound called phytic acid, which can impede zinc's absorption. Zinc is most concentrated in animal protein sources but can still be lacking for some people due to digestive issues, intake of certain medications, or other common health issues.

Zinc supplementation can be very important for all these reasons. Our zinc comes to life in our whole-food fermentation process, which is designed to transform each mineral into a rich, synergistic matrix of nutrition. The result is a unique form of zinc made with organic ingredients that brings you the best of real, wholesome food. It's perfectly balanced, gentle, and compatible with your body.

Micro-minerals like selenium perform essential regulatory and structural functions in our bodies. As our soils become depleted, our foods more processed, and our bodies more stressed, micro-mineral supplementation is needed more than ever. Selenium is one such mineral that is essential to life and can only be acquired through diet and supplementation since your body cannot produce it on its own. Selenium protects our hearts and immune systems. It also maximizes thyroid function, as it's needed for proper thyroid hormone production. Selenium's most prominent role is as a potent antioxidant and regulator of inflammation. It's no wonder that selenium is often referred to as an anti-aging marvel — for both the aging we can't see on the inside and what we can on the outside!

Minerals like iron perform essential regulatory and structural functions in our bodies. As our soils become depleted, our foods more processed, and our bodies more stressed, mineral supplementation is needed more than ever. With iron, it's vitally important to find the right balance in terms of intake. Too little iron can result in anemia, which is marked by a low red blood cell count and low oxygen levels in our bodies leading to fatigue, pallor, shortness of breath and other related symptoms. Too much iron can actually lead to increased oxidation, which ultimately damages our cells in an undesirable way.

For these reasons, iron supplementation is only recommended for those who have been diagnosed with iron deficiency or who may have low dietary intake (i.e. vegans) or increased dietary need (i.e. pregnant women, children). Our iron comes to life in our whole-food fermentation process, which is designed to transform each mineral into a rich, synergistic matrix of nutrition. The result is a unique form of iron made with organic ingredients that brings you the best of real, wholesome food. It's perfectly balanced and compatible with your body.

Micro-minerals like iodine perform essential regulatory and structural functions in our bodies. As our soils become depleted, our foods more processed, and our bodies more stressed, micro-mineral supplementation is needed more than ever. Iodine is paramount to normal growth and development due to its association with our thyroid gland. Our thyroid gland stores almost 60% of our bodies' iodine supply. Thyroid hormone synthesis relies on the presence of plenty of iodine. Hence, a deficiency can cause a low functioning thyroid gland, called hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone controls the base metabolic rate of our bodies, which means it affects many of our core functions including heart rate, blood pressure, body weight, temperature regulation, digestion, skin/hair health, and much more. Aside from its vital role in thyroid health, iodine is also valuable as a free radical scavenger and immune system supporter.

Micro-minerals like chromium perform essential regulatory and structural functions in our bodies. As our soils become depleted, our foods more processed, and our bodies more stressed, micro-mineral supplementation is needed more than ever. Chromium is most well known for its role in blood sugar regulation. It is an integral part of our insulin response, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps with the metabolism and use of primarily carbohydrates/sugars, but also protein and fats to some extent. Although chromium is present in a wide variety of foods, it is only found in very small amounts. Making sure you have adequate chromium ensures that your body is properly managing your blood sugar, which can prevent many health issues down the road.
