Ingredient Highlights

Vitamins and minerals are vital to every process that goes on in our bodies, but as micro-nutrients, we need them in relatively small amounts compared to carbohydrates, proteins, fats and water. A daily multiple vitamin and mineral supplement isn’t meant to replace a healthful, balanced diet, but it can be a good insurance policy for those times when we may not eat as well as we should.

Green Multi contains substantial amounts of the antioxidants beta carotene, and vitamins C and E. Many studies show that these important nutrients help maintain healthy cardiovascular and immune systems.*1, 2, 3

Green Multi also includes other nutrients that maintain good health. For example, calcium helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis,4 and folic acid helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects, a crippling birth defect.5, 6

In addition, Green Multi features four different flavonoids including lemon bioflavonoid complex. Flavonoids are potent antioxidants that may protect against free-radical damage to veins.*7, 8

Nature’s Life Green Multi also includes enzymes, that assist in breaking down and absorbing nutrients from the foods we eat.*  Enzymes help to release and deliver the nutrient content that might otherwise remain locked in foods.*

Green Multi includes Nature’s Life GreensTM Powder, a healthy and natural combination of garden vegetables, herbs, micro-algae, sea vegetables and grass sprouts rich in chlorophyll and trace minerals. Nature’s Life Greens Powder is produced without solvents or preservatives. It contains several important “phytonutrients,” compounds such as flavonoids, diallyl sulfides, carotenoids, glucaric acid, plant sterols and indoles, that are proving to be beneficial to optimal health.

Nature’s Life Green Multi is perfect for the health conscious individual who is seeking a whole-foods approach to nutritional supplementation. Nature’s Life Green Multi tablets have a smooth, protective coating for ease in swallowing. They rapidly dissolve in the stomach and their nutrients are easily absorbed for maximum benefit.
