We all know that it is recommended to take a multi-vitamin everyday; but wouldn't it be great if there was a multi-vitamin that included energy boosters as well? The good news is that product does exist. It is called Synergy and it is manufactured by Nutraceutical Sciences Institute.
Synergy is a combination energy enhancer and multi-vitamin supplement. Synergy does not stop with those benefits however. Components within Synergy's blend may help slow down the aging process. Here's how:
One of the critical components of aging is that small compartments within our cells called mitochondria which generate about 95% of our cellular energy also produce high levels of free radicals which can damage the mitochondria. Unfortunately, mitochondrial function decreases with age. How can Synergy Energy help the mitochondria? Scientific studies have shown that acetyl L-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid protect and improve mitochondrial function. Manganese specifically increases the natural antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) inside our mitochondria. Animal studies indicate species that have the highest levels of SOD live the longest.
Synergy also includes Coenzyme Q10, which is required for energy production and to protect the mitochondria from the free radicals produced during energy production. Furthermore, acetyl L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipoic acid have each been shown to protect the heart and the brain in human and animal scientific studies.
Synergy also includes a unique vitamin E formulation. Gamma-tocopherol is the predominant form (approximately 70%) of vitamin E found in US dietary food intake. Synergy Energy has 65 mg of gamma tocopherol out of a total of 100 mg of mixed tocopherols. In contrast, almost all multi-vitamins have their "natural" vitamin E overwhelmingly in the form of alpha tocopherol. Gamma tocopherol has special antioxidant functions of neutralizing certain dangerous free radicals (reactive nitrogen oxide species) which are not affected by alpha tocopherol. Several studies have shown that gamma tocopherol as found in Synergy is particularly important to lowered risk of Prostate Cancer.
Synergy contains the widest variety of antioxidants we have seen in a supplement. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, it is these free radicals that cause havoc in our bodies.
Synergy is suitable for use by both men and women. We recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a complete multi-vitamin, increased energy levels, and powerful antioxidants.
