Multivitamin supplements have been used for decades to ensure that minimum nutritional needs are met despite daily variations in diet and nutrient intake. Even some of the best, most balanced diets are lacking in certain micronutrient categories. Cyto-Matrix Multi Matrix is designed to fill these gaps and meet the nutritional needs of adult men and women.
Multivitamin supplements in general have been shown to improve the body's stress response, mood, and energy levels. However, multivitamin supplements are unfairly categorized as a single entity without recognizing the vast differences in quality and dosage between formulations. For this reason, it is important to evaluate multivitamin formulas on several parameters.
First, different mineral salts and vitamin forms can significantly affect nutrient absorption rates from the digestive tract. For example, B vitamins must first be converted to their active forms before being used in the body. If vitamin B6 is supplemented as pyridoxine hydrochloride, the liver must first convert it to pyridoxal-5-phosphate before it can be effectively used in physiological processes. The same principle applies to riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B12, and other vitamins. With minerals, the carbonate and oxide forms are commonly used despite evidence that citrate, amino acid chelates, and buffered mixtures demonstrate superior absorption.
Second, a once-a-day multivitamin is convenient, but it's often not enough to make a difference in health outcomes. To provide meaningful, evidence-based dosages of a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, more than one vegetarian capsule or tablet is needed. Unfortunately, to reduce the number of capsules, many multivitamin formulations contain only trace amounts of nutrients or exclude certain nutrients, making the formula incomplete.
Cyto-Matrix Multi Matrix contains a well-balanced blend of vitamins and minerals to meet the daily nutritional needs of adult men and women. These nutrients are in their active and highly bioavailable forms, such as mixed tocopherols, pyridoxal-5-phosphate, methylcobalamin, and citrate mineral salts. Multi Matrix is free of elemental iron and copper for increased safety in a variety of patient populations and can be conveniently dosed at 2 capsules twice daily for improved patient compliance.
