DMG (Dimethylglycine) - is an antioxidant that supports the proper function of the immune and respiratory systems.* DMG modulates cytokine production, is anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and a methyl donor.* DMG also enhances athletic performance by improving oxygen utilization.* It supports overall body health both as a methyl donor and by assisting the biosynthesis of vitamins, hormones, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nucleic acids. There are many anecdotal reports and testimonials attesting to DMG’s benefits in children with autism spectrum disorder, due to its effects on methylation.

 

Folate - is preferred over folic acid. Folic acid is synthetic whereas folate, also called 5-MTHF or 5-methylfolate, is the natural form more easily utilized by the body. Folate is the natural form that is well absorbed even when gastrointestinal pH is altered and its bioavailability is not affected by metabolic defects. Using 5-MTHF instead of folic acid reduces the potential for masking hematological symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency, reduces interactions w/drugs that inhibit dihydrofolate reductase, & overcomes metabolic defects caused by MTHFR genetic polymorphism. Use of 5-MTHF also prevents the potential negative effects of unconverted folic acid in the peripheral circulation.

 

Vitamin D - has been added to this formula, as new research indicates that both children and adults may not receive enough of this nutrient due to reduced sun exposure and limited dietary sources. Vitamin D plays many roles in the body and is vital for supporting strong healthy bones. Also included is choline, a nutrient related to B vitamins that is important for optimal neurological and liver health. Choline is a building block of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is essential for the nerve & brain activities that control memory, muscle movement. Choline also helps turn the food we eat and our stored energy into fuel.

 

Vitamin E - is best taken in its most natural state, which is d-alpha tocopherol along with mixed tocopherols. Many conventional multivitamins contain the inferior dL-alpha tocopherol which is synthetic & does not contain the mixed tocopherols. Natural alpha tocopherol is more active than synthetic dl, which may have as low as 1/3 the activity of natural alpha tocopherol. One final example why Nutritional Frontiers’ children’s multivitamin is superior to other brands is its inclusion of Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin. Many companies use cyanocobalamin, a form of B12 which is cheaper and not as well utilized by the body as methylcobalami
