Kirkman's
Nu-Thera Hypoallergenic Capsules and our EveryDay Supplement
are Kirkman's lower potency multiple vitamin and mineral
products. When compared to our Super Nu-Thera line. Since
both of these products are formulated into small number
three capsules for ease of swallowing, some of the bulky
nutrients which take up a lot of space inside the capsule
can not be put in these products in the optimum potencies
needed by some individuals. Additional supplementation is
therefore recommended for these nutrients including calcium,
magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin E. In order to make it
easy for the parents to supplement these additional amounts
using only one product, Kirkman has formulated a Nu-Thera/EveryDay
Companion which includes the correct additional potencies
of these nutrients. In addition, this companion product
contains the trace minerals which most traditional vitamin
and mineral supplements do not include. These trace minerals
can be important to good health and are gaining the support
of physicians when recommending a complete nutrition program.
The components of the Nu-Thera/EveryDay Companion Supplement
and the rationale for its inclusion are as follows:
Calcium
750 mg. (Carbonate-Citrate-Chelate complex)
Children need at least 800 mg. of calcium daily. Those
on a dairy free diet have a very difficult time getting
this amount of this important nutrient which is necessary
for proper growth. Kirkman uses a calcium complex supplying
three different calcium sources.
Magnesium
50 mg. (Glycinate)
This important nutrient helps produce a calming effect
and relaxes nerve impulses.
Vitamin C 500 mg. (Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbate)
Vitamin C is essential for a healthy immune system and
for the removal of toxins from the body.
Vitamin
E 100 IU (dl-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate)
Essential for proper tissue healing and for strong immune
function
Zinc
5 mg. (Citrate)
The most important immune system component. Since many
parents supplement zinc also in the evening, we kept the
potency low in the companion product.
Selenium
50 mcg. (Amino Acid Chelate)
Another immune booster plus a strong detoxifying nutrient
and anti-oxidant.
Molybdenum
50 mcg. (Amino Acid Chelate)
Molybdenum is important in copper excretion and in enzymatic
processes.
Chromium
50 mcg. (Amino Acid Chelate)
Aids in blood sugar control
Vanadium
5 mcg. (Amino Acid Chelate)
Vanadium is important in carbohydrate metabolism
The
original form of this product was a powder because the dose
was so high, but parents have been requesting an encapsulated,
hypoallergenic version since the product's inception. Because
the dose is high, the serving size is eight capsules daily.
Other
ingredients: Plant cellulose, magnesium stearate (vegetable)
and silicon dioxide.
Suggested
Use: 3/4 teaspoon or eight capsules daily or as recommended by your health
professional.
