Active Multi Vite is a vegetarian-friendly formula providing a combination of vitamins and minerals that help support bone and muscle health. It is estimated that nearly one third of Canadians have low vitamin D levels.2 Vitamin D promotes the activity of bone cells for proper bone remodeling, and helps absorb and use calcium and phosphorus for normal bone mineralization.² Research demonstrates that 600 IU of vitamin D daily helps maximize bone health in adults.^3,4 Among adults over 70 years of age, 800 IU daily helps maximize bone health and may help decrease the risk of hip or non-vertebral fractures by nearly 25%.^4,5 Beta carotene is source of vitamin A that further contributes to the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. Approximately half of magnesium is located in bones, where it stimulates bone forming osteoblast activity.⁶ Magnesium is also essential for promoting muscle function as it competes with calcium for binding sites on proteins that regulate muscle contractions.⁶ During rest, magnesium is bound to these sites; however, during periods of low magnesium, calcium binds the proteins, which may result in hypercontractibility and muscle cramps.⁶ As nearly 80-90% of magnesium is lost after food processing, its supplementation helps to maintain good health.⁶
