Product Details
What is Basic Maintenance®?
Basic Maintenance® is a multivitamin/mineral supplement designed to be taken daily, packed with a full complement of clinical-strength vitamins and minerals essential for organ function and protection. It contains L-methylfolate, the only form of folate with the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, activated forms of B vitamins, vitamin D-3, and a comprehensive list of high-quality nutrient minerals, making it a valuable component of your daily nutritional regimen.
How Does Basic Maintenance® Work?
Basic Maintenance® contains a variety of antioxidants, which help to neutralize and repair damage from oxidative stress. Nutrient antioxidant deficiency is a known cause of numerous chronic and degenerative pathologies. Vitamins C and E work synergistically against free radicals. Alpha-tocopherol, the most bioactive form of vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and potent antioxidant. Due to its fat-solubility, α-tocopherol protects cell membranes from oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin and is essential for collagen, carnitine, and neurotransmitter biosynthesis. Beta-carotene (vitamin A) is also a fat-soluble antioxidant. It is also known as a carotenoid and is converted to retinol, an essential nutrient for vision.
Vitamin D-3, cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D that our bodies make naturally in response to sunlight and is necessary for the maintenance of bone health and calcium homeostasis. Unfortunately, vitamin D deficiency is a common problem as research on skin health has discouraged many people from exposing their skin to the sun. Vitamin D deficiency is linked with osteoporotic bone loss, increased bone fractures, autoimmune disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Vitamin K aids in the maintenance of healthy bones by regulating calcium uptake in bone tissue, increasing new bone formation, and reducing bone resorption. Zinc, copper, manganese, and boron also support bone mineralization.
Selenium (Se) is a trace mineral that forms the active site of several antioxidant enzymes and is a known immunomodulator, along with vitamins A and D. Selenium is also necessary for proper thyroid function. Iodine is also an essential mineral, particularly related to thyroid health, as it is a necessary element in the synthesis of thyroid hormone.
B vitamins contained in this supplement blend; thiamine, riboflavin, niacinamide, B-6, biotin, pantothenic acid, folate, and B-12, are commonly associated with energy production, nervous system maintenance, and cardiovascular health. Thiamine, riboflavin, niacinamide, B-6, biotin, and pantothenic acid are cofactors for enzymes needed for cellular energy production through the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Thiamine, folate, B-12 are involved in the development of neurons and neurotransmitter synthesis. Methylfolate and B-6 are required for homocysteine metabolism and have been linked to mood improvement.

- A convenient daily multivitamin/mineral to fulfill nutritional needs where diet and lifestyle fall short.
