Fermented Organic Glycoprotein Matrix-Bound Nutrients-GPM^™

USA

Glycoprotein matrix bound GPM^™ vitamins and minerals are produced from a nutrient-dense broth that is cultured, converted, and bio-transformed by microorganisms (yeast and/or probiotics). After fermentation, the result is a highly active organic nutrient which has a superior bioavailability and can be easily digested, even without food.

• Vitamin A 750 mcg: essential for morphological and functional development and for ocular integrity, vitamin A also exerts systemic effects on several fetal organs and on the fetal skeleton.
• Vitamin C 60 mg: antioxidant that boosts the immune system, during pregnancy it helps you and your baby make collagen for your tendons, bones, and skin.
• Vitamin D3 15 mcg: builds your fetus’s bones and teeth, helps promote healthy eyesight and skin.
• Vitamin E 19 mg: helps maintain healthy skin and eyes, and strengthen the body's natural defense against illness and infection.
• Vitamin B1 1.4 mg: involved in nervous system and muscle function and is essential for carbohydrate metabolism. Important for fetal growth and development, and production of ATP from glucose in the brain.
• Vitamin B2 1.6 mg: a key component of coenzymes involved in many metabolic pathways of carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. Supports your baby's bone, muscle, and nerve development.
• Vitamin B3 18 mg: helps to convert nutrients into energy, create cholesterol and fats, create and repair DNA, and exert antioxidant effects.
• Vitamin B6 2 mg: helps the body to make antibodies, maintain normal nerve function, make hemoglobin, break down proteins and keep blood glucose in normal ranges.
• Folic acid 800 mcg: helps prevent birth defects of the brain and spine. Supports the general growth and development of the fetus and placenta.
• Vitamin B12 3 mcg: maintains nervous system and helps form red blood cells.
• Biotin 40 mcg: plays an important role in converting carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy. It also helps your body’s cells function well.
• Pantothenic acid 7 mg: a precursor in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), a chemical compound that helps enzymes to build and break down fatty acids as well as perform other metabolic functions.
• Iron 18 mg: your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein that helps carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. This iron is important to make more blood so it can carry oxygen to your baby.
• Iodine 150 mcg: used by the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones that control many functions in the body including growth and development. You need iodine during pregnancy to help your baby’s nervous system develop.
• Zinc 9 mg: a major player in the creation of DNA, growth of cells, building proteins, healing damaged tissue, and supporting a healthy immune system.
• Selenium 70 mcg: an essential mineral for thyroid health, immune system function, and healthy brain activity.
• Copper 900 mcg: helps keep the blood vessels, nerves, immune system, and bones healthy. It also works with iron to help the body form red blood cells.
• Manganese 2 mg: a cofactor for many enzymes, through the action of these enzymes manganese helps the body form connective tissue, bones, blood clotting factors, and sex hormones.
• Chromium 45 mcg: a mineral important in the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates. It stimulates fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. Chromium also aids in insulin action and glucose breakdown.
