Optimum Performaxx Multi Vitamin Reveiw

Optimum Nutrition's NEW PerforMAXX Sports Multiple Vitamin is packed full of vitamins and essential minerals. It was designed to enhance performance for those who lead athletic lifestyles.

Cryptoxanthin
This carotenoid, found naturally occurring in orange rinds, egg is a powerful antioxidant and helps protect Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and other carotenoids from oxidative damage, thereby increasing their effective lifespan in the body.

Lutein
A carotenoid found in dark green leafy vegetables, various fruits, and egg yolks, Lutein has been found in recent studies to protect the eyes from free radical damage helping to support good vision.

Lycopene
Lycopene, a close relative of Beta-Carotene, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Cryptoxanthin, is the bright red pigment that gives several fruits and vegetables (most notably tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, and red oranges) their deep rich color. Of the over 600 known carotenoids, Lycopene appears to be the most active in the human body and may promote good overall health by supporting  ability to neutralize damaging free radicals.

Boron
This essential mineral assists in maintaining healthy bones by helping to improve the absorption and utilization of calcium and magnesium.

Astaxanthin
This recently discovered carotenoid, derived from marine algae, is a potent antioxidant (up to 10 times more potent than Beta-Carotene and 550 times more potent than Vitamin E). Early studies have demonstrated the ability of Astaxanthin to help enhance energy metabolism and support healthy immune and cardiovascular function.

Hesperidin Complex
A Citrus Bioflavonoid, Hesperidin may help promote Capillary strength and prevent Vitamin C from being destroyed in tile body by oxidation, and support healthy connective tissue.

Citrus Bioflavonoids
Citrus Bioflavonoids are water-soluble compounds found naturally occurring with Vitamin C in citrus fruits, rose hips, and various other plants. In humans, Citrus Bioflavonoids help maintain healthy capillary walls and have synergistic antioxidant effects with Vitamin C.

Zeaxanthin
Found in yellow hued fruits and vegetables such as corn, peaches, persimmons, and mangoes, this carotenoid helps protect the eyes and various other systems of the body from free radical damage.

Alpha Carotene
This lesser known member of the camtenoid family works synergistically with Beta Carotene to combat free radicals and, according to some studies, may actually be as much as ten times more potent by itself than Beta Carotene.

N-Acetyl Cysteine
A potent free radical scavenger that helps support a healthy immune system through increased production of Glutathione, the body’s own most potent antioxidant.

Korean Ginseng
Has been used historically by athletes to help increase energy, vitality, stamina, and recover particularly during times of fatigue and /or stress.

Tocotrienols
A subfamily of Vitamin E, Tocotrienols are showing promise in their ability to improve overall cardiovascular function.

Choline
This relative of the B-Vitamin family helps facilitate the movement of fat in the cells and is needed by the body for proper nerve transmission, brain function, and memory.

Inositol
Another relative of the B-Vitamin family, Inositol is-an important factor in the breakdown and metabolism in fats and cholesterol.

Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo is one of the most clinically researched botanicals in the world and recent studies of the extract indicate that it may help increase blood circulation to the brain which may, in turn, promote memory and concentration.

Rutin
This ingredient, found in buckwheat, is known as a flavonol, works synergistically with Vitamin C, and may be useful against bruising and bleeding.
