Understanding the "French Paradox"

How is it possible that people in France who regularly eat rich, sauce-laden foods have such a low rate
of cardiovascular disease? Scientists have found that the explanation for the “French paradox” is that
most of those heavy meals are accompanied by a glass or two of red wine which includes a substance
that protects against clogged arteries.
The isolation of Resveratrol as the molecule responsible for the protective benefits of red wine is a major
breakthrough in anti-aging medicine. This important antioxidant is a point-of-difference addition to
Immunotec’s vitamin and mineral formulation.

Adding Resveratrol to your vitamin and mineral supplement makes sense

Although the idea of drinking a glass of red wine each day to increase Resveratrol levels may sound
tempting to those who enjoy wine, increasing wine consumption in general is not recommended. Many
of us are already accustomed to taking a vitamin and mineral supplement to help provide missing
nutrients in a less-than-perfect diet. Getting Resveratrol at the same time is an important addition!

The sunshine vitamin goes under the microscope!

Immunotec’s Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with Resveratrol is a complete formulation that contains
21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients, and is certified free of heavy metals. Vitamins, minerals and
nutrients included in the formulation support a multitude of health benefits:
o Vitamin A. Helps to maintain eyesight, skin, membranes, and immune function; helps in the
development and maintenance of bones and teeth.
o Vitamin C. Plays a role in the normal development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and
gums, and in wound healing.
o Vitamin D. Helps in the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth; helps in the
absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus.
o Vitamin B1. Helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates.
o Vitamin B2, B3, B5, B6. Help in tissue formation, and help the body to metabolize proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates.
o Vitamin B12. Helps to produce red blood cells.
o Vitamin B9 (Folate). Helps prevent neural tube defects when taken prior to becoming pregnant.
o Selenium. Factor in the maintenance of healthy body cells and tissues; acts as an antioxidant for the
maintenance of good health.
o Copper. Helps to produce red blood cells and connective tissue.
o Choline. Provides important benefits for the structure and function of cells.

For many years, dangerous pollutants emitted by the industry have been blamed for much higher
cancer rates in rich northern countries compared with those in developing countries. Now, scientists
wonder if the real cause isn’t a vitamin D deficiency that is less problematic in poor nations. Recent
research has suggested that an important factor to consider is most likely a lack of vitamin D.

The main way humans achieve healthy levels of vitamin D isn’t through diet but through exposure to
the sun. But here’s the catch: health authorities have stressed avoidance of direct sunshine to avoid the

risk of skin cancer. Furthermore, most North Americans, living at northern latitudes, aren’t exposed to
sunshine strong enough to make vitamin D. A changing demographic also affects vitamin D levels;
unlike previous generations who made their living by working outside, most people now spend most of
their time indoors.

The 400 IU dosage included in most multivitamins is considered too low to be totally effective. That’s
why Immunotec formulators included 800 IU in each two-capsule serving of its Vitamin and Mineral
Supplement with Resveratrol.
Immunotec’s Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with Resveratrol also includes Vitamin E, Biotin, Zinc,
Chromium, Manganese, Inositol, and Chlorella for the maintenance of good health. Scientific experts
excluded two ingredients from this complete formulation: calcium, since it is not usually included in
appropriate doses and should be taken as a stand-alone supplement; and iron, which can cause health
concerns in some individuals and should be used on an as-needed basis.

Naturally-sourced micronutrients make a “supercharged” supplement

One of the oldest life-forms on our planet is chlorella, a form of microscopic algae – one of the first
organisms to use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy. Chlorella is included in the formulation of
Immunotec’s Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with Resveratrol because it provides a natural source of
an incredible array of nutrients: proteins, essential amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins,
macrominerals, trace elements, and phytochemicals. Chlorella is such an incredible source of nutrients,
it has been nicknamed a “superfood.”
