Ensuring your body consumes the proper vitamins and minerals is crucial for long-term health and longevity. Micronutrients provide the proper foundation for bodily functions such as metabolism, immunity, recovery, and joint health. Eating a well-balanced diet based around whole foods can help nourish your body with micronutrients needed to function at optimal capacity. Fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources create a strong basis for long-term wellness. The problem is maintaining these healthy eating habits can be difficult for some people.
Balancing long hours at work, quality family time, and maintaining a social life can leave little time during the week for cooking and preparing meals.
This is where vitamin supplementation comes in.
Hi, I’m Sean Torbati. Although I preach proper diet habits as the pillar for health, I know that getting adequate micronutrients can still be difficult for some people.
That’s why we’ve created a vitamin supplement that’s vegan friendly, GMO free, Soy free, and gluten-free. It contains is an array of critical vitamins and minerals designed to improve your overall well-being.
This properly dosed dietary supplement helps to optimize your health in a number of ways including:
- Increasing food absorption
- Providing all day natural energy
- Boosting metabolism and much more
So what makes TRU vitamin stand apart from other supplements on the market? Let’s take a look at some of the ingredients this super formula has to offer.
Vitamin A
Let’s start at the beginning of the alphabet with vitamin A. This micronutrient is involved in a number of health functions including (1):
- Immunity
- Vision
- Reproduction
- Cellular communication
Vitamin A plays a role in cellular function as well as standard maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other critical organs.
Due to its role in cellular development, vitamin A can also be a preventative treatment for some types of cancer. Meta analyses done on twenty-five vitamin A studies showed an inverse association with bladder cancer (2) and cervical cancer (3).
Vitamin A can also decrease the risk of certain infectious diseases and improve overall health. Many experts believe vitamin A is one of the most crucial micronutrients available.
Vitamin C
Your mother may have poured you a glass of orange juice with your breakfast growing up. This was due to the high vitamin C concentration it contained.
Vitamin C plays an important role in immunity, antioxidant functions, and may well prevent the development of some types of cancer and cardiovascular disease (4).
Furthermore, a deficiency of vitamin C may cause scurvy, fatigue, and other issues (4).
One possible benefit of vitamin C is prevention of diabetes. A 2008 study looked at 21,831 individuals over a twelve year period. A strong inverse association was found between plasma vitamin C and the risk of diabetes (5).
Another study found that low vitamin C levels may also have an increased risk of mortality from cancer and cardiovascular disease (6).
Ensuring you have a proper vitamin C balance can pay dividends towards sustainable long-term health.
Manganese
Managense is known as a trace mineral, meaning that the body only needs small amounts compared to other micronutrients.
One of the biggest benefits of manganese is bone health. A 2004 study looked at 334 postmenopausal women who took manganese in conjunction with other vitamins. They found back and joint pain decreased. Bone density also improved to a strong extent (7).
Manganese may help treat certain health disorders such as epileptic seizures. One study found that low blood manganese was associated with epilepsy in humans and animals. Supplementation of manganese helped to decrease the risk of seizures (8).
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is required for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis (9).
A cross-sectional study was performed on 303 senior citizens. Those who had a vitamin B12 deficiency experienced more bodily pain, cognitive impairment and poor overall health (10).
Signs of vitamin B12 deficiency include (11):
- Anemia
- Fatigue, weakness
- Nerve damage
- Memory loss
- Dementia
- Depression
- Seizures
Preventing vitamin B12 deficiency is important to overall health. Supplementation can help you get there.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
MSM is a chemical found in green plants, animals, and humans (12). It most commonly is used to relieve joint pain, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity.
A 2015 double-blind, controlled study was performed over a 12 week period. One hundred participants had some form of joint degeneration. After supplementing with MSM during this time period, positive effects were realized relating to joint function, joint pain, joint swelling, and overall quality of life (13).
MSM also may have recovery benefits as well. A 2013 study on twenty-four fit men took 3g of MSM for a 14 day period. The results showed an alleviation of discomfort/pain following stressful exercise sessions (14).
MSM can be a useful supplement when it comes to overall health and recovery.
Spectra ORAC
As a plant based, scientifically validated formula of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, Spectra ORAC was designed to inhibit free radical production while optimizing cellular metabolic health (15).
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study looked at twenty-two human participants who took SPECTRA. They found the supplement to be useful for oxidative stress, inflammatory response, blood glucose levels, and supporting optimal health (16).
For people that don’t eat the daily recommended 9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, ORAC greens can be a great supplement to provide antioxidant protection for overall health.
L-Carnitine
L-carnitine is a natural amino acid derivative best known for its weight loss and brain function abilities. It’s an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in energy production and fatty acid metabolism (17).
A 2016 study looked at 911 participants who took L-carnitine or a placebo control group supplement. Individuals who took L-carnitine experienced a nearly 3 pound greater weight loss compared to those on a placebo (18).
Another benefit of L-carnitine is brain function. A study looked at fifty-five patients with impaired performance on neurological tasks. After taking the supplement they accelerated their performance and recovery in various cognitive areas (19).
L-carnitine as part of a regular supplementation can be a valuable tool to your health and wellness.
R-ALA
R-ALA or R-Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant commonly used to treat diabetes and nerve-related symptoms of diabetes (20). It can help prevent cellular damage and also protect the brain under conditions of damage or injury.
One other benefit of R-ALA is the treatment of obesity. Over the course of twelve clinical trials, they found that ALA supplementation significantly reduced body weight and BMI compared to placebo groups (21).
Furthermore, R-ALA may be used to help control blood sugar levels in humans and animals (22). Researchers believe R-ALA helps to aid in blood sugar control and be a possible alternative form of diabetes treatment.
Turmeric
Turmeric is a spice containing compounds with medicinal properties known as curcuminoids. One of the benefits of turmeric is it’s natural anti-inflammatory properties.
A systematic review of scientific literature over a four decade period found that turmeric demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity through the inhibition of a number of different molecules that play a role in inflammation (23).
Turmeric also has also been shown to improve brain function through the boosting of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a growth hormone in the brain. This can help to potentially decrease depressive disorders and lower the risk of depression (24).
The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of turmeric prove it to be a potent supplement for possibly treating depression and arthritis.
