Q: How does the new MultiVHP prototype differ from the regular MultiV?
A: The new MultiVHP prototype is designed for extremely hard training endurance athletes. This upgraded formula uses a clinically effective dose of 1,3-1,6 Beta-Glucan and is supported by a significant volume of research on promoting a healthy immune system. It contains 50% more Iron amino acid chelate and an endurance-specific pre & probiotic blend to aid in the digestion of micro and macro nutrients.
Also, because of the recent research showing the detrimental affect of too much vitamin C & E, it's also the first Multivitamin that is doesn't have vitamins C & E, yet still offers a blend of polyphenols for oxidative support.
Q: How does MultiVHP differ from other Multivitamins?
A: Endurance athletes put a lot of stress on their body so they have significantly different needs and requirements than the general population. Because of this, higher levels of micro-nutrients are required in order to avoid overtraining and other ailments. If these unique requirements are not met, the immune system, digestive system and cardiovascular system all become compromised. The new MultiVHP protytype delivers clinically effective doeses of of essential nutrients like Iron amino acid chelate, 1,3-1,6 Beta-Glucan, Gingko Biloba, a polyphenol blend and pre and probiotics which are not found in any other multivitamin.
Q:What is Beta Glucan and what does it do?
A: It's important to note that not all Beta Glucans are created equal. First Endurance uses the ONLY yeast-derived (saccharomyces cerevisiae) 1,3-1,6 Beta Glucan becaue it's been clinically proven, on endurance athletes, to decrease upper respiratory tract infections and reduce the risk of illness and infection associated with hard training. The specific Beta Glucans used in the new MultiVHP prototype allow you to stay healthy and strong more often than ever before.
Q: What are pre and probiotics and how do they help my endurance?
A: Endurance athletes require more calories than average people in order to fuel their training. This, coupled with the stress of everyday life, can compromise your digestive system and negatively effect the absorption of all micro and macro nutrients. Prebiotics are non-digestible oligosaccharides that can stimulate and regulate the growth of probiotic microorganisms and, over time, improve nutrient absorption and health. Probiotics are digestible microorganisms that can alleviate symptoms of lactose intolerance and treat or prevent diarrhea.
Q: Why doesn't the MulitVHP prototype contain Vitamin C or Vitamin E?
A: Recent clinical studies have shown Vitamin C and Vitamin E may be detrimental to endurance capacity and training because they down-regulation the bodies own natural inflammatory response.
Q: Do endurance athletes require more Iron than other people?
A: The new MultiVHP prototype contains 150% of the RDA daily value of Iron because research shows 30-50% of endurance athletes have depleted iron levels. When iron levels are low, less oxygen is delivered to the muscles and aerobic capacity declines. To ensure peak performance, the new MultiVHP prototype is formulated with a highly bioavailable Iron Amino Acid Chelate that's also gentle on the stomach.
Consuming more than 100% of the RDA of Iron is not recommended for the general public. For hard-training endurance athletes, however, Iron and blood ferritin is often compromised and can therefore limit oxygen carrying capacity and endurance performance. Consuming 150% of a highly bioavailable Iron amino acid chelate is not only safe for endurance athletes, it's recommended and highly beneficial.
