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 nutrients.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
