Major Minerals:
Major minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium are required by the body for many functions such as bone growth and maintenance, normal nerve transmission, blood vessel dilation, muscle contraction and many more. Magnesium alone has more than 300 functions in the body. Total People Plus™ contains highly available forms of these minerals.
 
Trace Minerals:
Total People Plus™ contains only chelated forms of copper, manganese and zinc.  This insures the highest possible bioavailability of these critical minerals. 
 
Copper is required for many coenzymes in the body, production of energy, formation of collagen and elastin and production of dopamine and serotonin.
 
Manganese serves as a catalyst for enzyme activity, bone growth, cartilage formation, formation of collagen, healing and glucose tolerance.
 
Zinc plays a role as a catalyst in numerous enzyme reactions in cell metabolism.  It is also important for maintaining a healthy immune system and for proper nervous system function.
 
Selenium plays many roles in the body and is involved in antioxidant activity and muscle growth and maintenance.
 
Iodine is important for normal thyroid activity in the body.  The Iodine in Total People Plus is a natural, organic form from Ascophyllum nodosum (kelp) and is highly bioavailable. 
 
 
Vitamins:
Total People Plus™ contains all B-Complex vitamins for which a requirements are known.  In general B-Complex vitamins are catylists for energy producing reactions in the body and as antioxidants.
 
Thiamine and Choline are important for normal nerve activity in both muscles and brain.  Total People Plus contains levels of these vitamins that insure adequate levels for normal nerve function.
 
Vitamins A D and E are all required by the body for a wide variety of purposes. They are included in Total People Plus in forms that are highly bioavailable. 
 
Fucoidan in Total People Plus™ is from the Ascophyllum nodosum.  It contains Fucose sugar that is present in nerve synapses in the body and is part of the normal nerve transmission process. 
 
Amino Acids:
 
Total People Plus™ contains two critical sulfur containing amino acids Lysine and Methionine. 
 
Lysine an essential amino acid that must be in the diet as it is not manufactured by the body.  Some of the more important functions of lysine in the body are that it is critical in bone growth and development, aids in calcium absorption, aids in muscle development and improves blood vessel and skin integrity through the formation of collagen, and is important in enzyme and hormone production.
 
 
Methionine is another essential amino acid.  It aids in the breakdown of fats in blood vessels, is an antioxidant, aids in energy production, and is a critical nutrient for building muscle.
