Inorganic forms of copper is defined as 100% rate of free radical generation (determined as a result of free radical oxidation of 2',7'- dichlorofluorescein catalyzed by different forms of copper).
Binding minerals such as copper and iron using Oligofructose Complex provides a free radical reduction rate of over 75%—significantly higher than the competition.
A detailed look at Free Radicals and Antioxidants
-
A free radical is a molecule that is missing an electron and attempts to steal it from other molecules.
-
An antioxidant neutralizes free radicals by donating that electron.
-
To many free radicals disrupt bodily systems and can create health concerns.
-
Antioxidants like flavonoids found in grape skins and seeds, carotonoids, and vitamins A,C, and E are key to keeping free radicals in balance.
- Damage from free radical imbalance is a threat to everyones health.
Problem with Traditional Multivitamins
Recognizing there are critical gaps in our diets, multivitamins and mineral supplements were created, but there are two crucial flaws with traditional multivitamins.
- The minerals in traditional multivitamins are not bound with organic compounds, they are isolated. As a result they tend to "crystalize" in the intestines making them dificult for the body to absorb.
- Isolated minerals cause an increase in free radicals. The antioxidants in your multivitamin (vitamins A, C, and E) are then forced to neutralize the free radicals, robbing them of some of their potency before they can be absorbed.
Our Companys Revolutionary Solution
Our companys unique approach focused on taking research recommened nutrients from the most effective sources and combining them with organic compounds (amino acids and obligofructose) to supply nutrients in a for that mirrors the way they are found in fruits, vegatables, and other whole foods. The result was Obligofructose Complex.
Obligofructose Complex solves the two main problems with traditional vitamin and mineral supplements: mineral soluability in the intestines and the generation of excess free radicals.
Obligofructose Complex helps keep minerals soluable in the intestine--where nutrient absorbtion takes place.
Obligofructose Complex protects the potentcy of vitamins by guarding the minerals, reducing the ability to generate excess free radicals.
This process is patent pending and exclusive to our company you will not find it in any other vitamin.
Independantly Reasearched and Tested
Because the findings represented such an innovated breakthrough in the field of multivitamin and mineral supplements, our company scientists sought an outside source to verify their findings and ensure it was effective as possible.
- Dr Andrei Komarov of The George Washington University helped choose the form that offered the most antioxidant protection.
- Dr Gary Buettner of the University of Iowa confirmed the concepts behind the antioxidant protection.

Need:
* Solubility of copper, iron, manganese, and zinc at intestinal pH (7.0 - 7.2). Solubility for Melaleuca's form was determined as percent of ingredient remaining in solution at pH 7.0 after being at pH 1.0 (stomach conditions). Competitors' ingredients solubility data taken from Merck Index and Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.
