Multivitamin

BODY BY MOTYKIE ULTRA PRENTIVE® MULTI-COMPLETE (60 TABLETS)

$36 – Ultra Preventive® 2-A-Day

Ultra Preventive® 2-A-Day Multi-complete has been carefully designed to ensure each serving contains the optimal proportions of minerals, vitamins, nutrients, and trace elements necessary to keep you in good health without dangerous side effects or toxic buildup. Each ingredient has been hand-picked for its absorbability, allergenic potential, long-term safety, and interaction with other nutrients.

FULL DESCRIPTION

MultivitaminStudies have demonstrated that a significant percentage of adults in North America and other developed areas consume less than the recommended minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. When the body receives inadequate amounts of essential nutrients (consumed in the proper ratio/balance) the patient’s biological systems (i.e. immune, gastrointestinal) cannot function properly.

Ultra Preventive® 2-A-Day Multi-complete vitamin contains high concentration of powerful nutrients (i.e. vitamin D, beta-carotene, and B-complex vitamins) that were carefully selected for their antioxidant properties and their pivotal role in energy production, maintaining healthy blood cells, keeping the hormonal system in balance, and supporting the nervous system. All mineral and trace elements in the Ultra Preventive® 2-A-Day are delivered in their safest and most bioavailable forms (meaning they can easily be absorbed by the body).

As with all Body by Motykie supplements, Ultra Preventive® 2-A-Day Multi-complete is formulated with NO yeast, gluten, wheat, soy, milk/dairy, corn, sodium, sugar, starch, artificial preservatives/ coloring/flavoring, or GMOs (genetically modified ingredients).
