MULTI VITAMINS

CoQ10 (Ubiquinone or Ubiquinol)

• The active ingredient that supports heart health, cellular energy, and antioxidant protection

• Ubiquinone is the standard form; Ubiquinol is the more bioavailable, active form

Carrier Oils (in softgels)

• Often MCT oil, soybean oil, or olive oil to improve absorption of this fat-soluble nutrient

Capsule or Softgel Shell

• Made from gelatin (animal-based) or plant-based cellulose (vegan versions)

• May also include glycerin and purified water

Antioxidants & Preservatives (optional)

• Vitamin E (tocopherols) to prevent oxidation

• Lecithin or beeswax for stability

Additives (optional)

• Silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, or colorants in some brands

• Higher-end or “clean” brands may skip fillers entirely

Astragalus Root Extract: The main active ingredient, often standardized to a certain % of polysaccharides (which support immunity).

Vegetable Capsule (or Gelatin): The outer shell—usually made from cellulose for plant-based supplements.

Rice Flour or Microcrystalline Cellulose: Used as a filler or flow agent to help fill the capsule evenly.

Magnesium Stearate or Silicon Dioxide: Common additives that help with capsule consistency and production.

Sometimes Added Herbs: Some blends include other adaptogens like ginseng, ashwagandha, or licorice root.

Boswellia Serrata Extract: An anti-inflammatory herb, often standardized to 65% boswellic acids, which help reduce joint pain and stiffness.

Curcumin (from Turmeric Root Extract): The active compound in turmeric, known for its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Black Pepper Extract (BioPerine): Often added to enhance absorption of curcumin, which is otherwise poorly absorbed by the body.

Capsule Shell: Typically made of vegetable cellulose or gelatin.

Other Additives (Optional):

• Magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, or rice flour as flow agents or fillers

• Ginger, MSM, or hyaluronic acid in joint-support blends

Green Tea Extract: The main ingredient, usually standardized to a % of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a powerful antioxidant.

Caffeine: Naturally present in green tea, or sometimes added for an energy boost.

L-Theanine: An amino acid from tea that promotes calm focus—sometimes included to balance caffeine effects.

Vegetable Capsule or Tablet Base: Made from cellulose, gelatin, or other plant-based materials.

Optional Additives:

• Black pepper extract (BioPerine) for better absorption

• Other herbs (like ginseng or garcinia cambogia) in weight-loss blends

• Stabilizers like magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide

Biotin (Vitamin B7) – Supports strong, healthy hair and prevents breakage

Zinc & Selenium – Essential minerals for hair follicle health

L-Cysteine & L-Methionine – Amino acids that help build keratin, the main hair protein

Millet Seed Extract – Rich in silica, known to support hair density

Grape Seed Extract – Provides antioxidants that protect and strengthen hair

Vitamins A, C, D, E, B-complex – Promote scalp circulation, collagen production, and overall hair vitality

Fish Oil or Algae Oil:

• Rich in EPA and DHA, the two most important omega-3 fatty acids

• Algae oil is used in vegan/vegetarian versions

Gelatin Capsule Shell:

• Usually made from gelatin (fish or bovine), or vegetable cellulose for plant-based options

Antioxidants (to prevent oxidation and spoilage):

• Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols)

• Rosemary extract (in some natural brands)

Carrier Oils or Stabilizers (optional):

• Glycerin, purified water, or lecithin to maintain texture and stability

Enteric Coating (in some versions):

• Helps prevent fishy burps by allowing the capsule to dissolve in the intestines instead of the stomach

Taurine (Free-form):

• The main active ingredient—usually 500 mg to 2000 mg per serving

• Often synthetic and vegan-friendly, even though taurine naturally occurs in animal products

Capsule or Tablet Base:

• Vegetable cellulose (plant-based capsules) or gelatin (animal-based)

• Binders like microcrystalline cellulose (for tablets)

Flow Agents or Fillers (used for manufacturing ease):

• Magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, or rice flour

Optional Additions (in energy or focus blends):

• Caffeine, B vitamins, L-theanine, or electrolytes
