Product Information
The keystone of every nutritional product line is a multiple
vitamin-mineral supplement. At Thorne, we believe this is the starting
point for every individual's supplementation needs and that these
products should contain all the essential nutrients. We also believe
that by using the purest, most bioavailable raw materials – those
without unnecessary additives and preservatives – every individual's
outcome will be optimized.
Research indicates foods high in
antioxidant nutrients are important components of a healthy diet.*
However, most Americans do not eat the recommended five servings of
antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables each day and need extra
supplementation to keep up with their antioxidant demands.* In addition,
an unhealthy lifestyle can make one's cells prone to oxidative damage.
Even those who strive to live a healthy life and engage in regular
physical exercise need extra antioxidants to counter the oxidative
stress of their increased metabolic activity.*
Extra Nutrients
was designed specifically for individuals with an increased oxidative
burden who are looking for a daily multi-vitamin supplement with maximum
antioxidant potential.* It provides the optimal daily intake of a full
complex of essential vitamins and minerals with the added benefit of
additional antioxidants.* Extra Nutrients is ideal for the person who
needs extra antioxidant support, such as athletes, the aging, and
individuals living in a particularly toxic environment.*
Extra
Nutrients is a comprehensive multiple vitamin-mineral formula that
provides added benefits of these important antioxidants – reduced
glutathione, R-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, and hesperidin methyl
chalcone. Features of Extra Nutrients include: (1) it contains all
hypoallergenic ingredients; (2) it's free of pre-diluted ingredients and
hidden preservatives; (3) it does not contain magnesium stearate or
stearic acid that may interfere with absorption; (4) it provides the
active forms of the B vitamins – folate and vitamins B2, B6, and B12;
and (5) it contains advanced mineral forms for optimal absorption –
citrate-malates, picolinates, and our patented chromium (UltraChrome).*

INTERACTIONS/CONTRAINDICATIONS
Folinic
acid and 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate supplementation is not recommended
concurrently with methotrexate cancer therapy, as they can interfere
with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, these folate
sources have not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory
activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for
psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement
containing folate.
