Multi Glyco is a combination of vitamins and minerals that helps to maintain skin health and macronutrient metabolism. Beta-carotene is a provitamin A carotenoid pigment.¹ As it can be converted into vitamin A in the body, it is an important source of vitamin A to help maintain eyesight, membranes, immune function and skin.¹ Vitamin C further maintains skin health through its role in collagen synthesis, the primary structural protein found in connective tissue and the main protein involved in wound healing.² Vitamin C synergistically maintains the antioxidant defence system with selenium, which is required for the production of antioxidant enzymes that prevent free radical damage to lipid membranes.^3,4 The highest levels of both selenium and iodine are found in the thyroid gland.⁴ Iodine is required to produce thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism and the growth and development of the body and brain.⁴ B vitamins help mediate hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.³ Niacin, thiamine and biotin help provide important substrates for energy production in the Krebs cycle, while vitamins B₆ and B₁₂ help convert the amino acid homocysteine into methionine for protein production.³ Chromium supports healthy glucose metabolism by mediating the actions of insulin, which include regulating glucose uptake in cells and promoting its storage as glycogen.^5,6
