The Multi is one of the most natural, abundant multivitamins you will come across on the market. It is not a synthetic vitamin, so therefore your body knows how to process the vitamins and minerals so actually aid the body, rather than excreting them out. By combining 3 of nature's most powerful foods you are receiving copious amounts of bioavailable:

Vitamin A, Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3) , Pantothenic acid (B5), Vitamin B6, Folate (B9), Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Omega 3, Choline, Biotin, Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Phosphorus, Potassium, Selenium, Zinc.

The Multi can help with so many different aspects of your health and is working on your general wellbeing. However it will often directly affect the quality of your hair, nails & skin, as well as increasing energy, balancing hormones and libido.

We've done the research, here are some of our favourite peer-reviewed scientific papers:

The Multi contains extremely bioavailable forms of vitamin A and Zinc. These have been proven to have incredible effects on the reduction of acne and the appearance of acne. There are thousands of published peer reviewed articles on the correlation between these essential nutrients and acne. There have been studies to show that people with acne have lowered vitamin A levels. 

The Multi can:

• Reduce of the number of comedones, papules, pustules, and infiltrates
• Aid in speeding up the healing process of acne scares
• Regulate the process of skin turnover
• Protect the skin against free radicals
• Help to reduce inflammation that causes acne

The Multi can provide support for autoimmune conditions in different ways, however majorly due to the iodine component present in the kelp.

Kelp, a type of seaweed that may assist autoimmune conditions due to its rich content of nutrients and bioactive compounds. Kelp is particularly high in iodine, which is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is a critical part of the endocrine system that produces hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, and development.

There is a strong link between thyroid function and autoimmune disorders, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, and thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. In autoimmune disorders, the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, including the thyroid gland, which can lead to inflammation, damage, and dysfunction of the gland.

Iodine is required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, and a deficiency in iodine can lead to a range of thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism. On the other hand, excessive iodine intake may also have adverse effects on thyroid function, particularly in individuals with underlying thyroid disorders, so please ensure you consult your health practitioner to identify your specific iodine needs.

Kelp also contains other bioactive compounds, such as fucoidans and laminarins, that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. These compounds may help to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, both of which are common features of autoimmune disorders.

Overall, The Multi provides essential nutrients, minerals, and compounds that support a healthy immune system, beef liver, oysters, and kelp can help to reduce inflammation and support individuals with autoimmune conditions. However, it is important to note that The Multi should not be relied upon as the sole treatment for autoimmune disorders, and individuals should work with a healthcare professional to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

The Multi may assist with low energy due to its rich content of nutrients, including iron, vitamin B12, iodine, and zinc, that are essential for energy production and metabolism.

Beef liver is a rich source of iron, vitamin B12, and other B vitamins, which are important for the production of red blood cells and energy metabolism. Oysters are a rich source of zinc, which is required for the production of enzymes involved in energy metabolism and immune function. Kelp is high in iodine, which is essential for proper thyroid function and metabolism.

The Multi can help assist in increasing male and female fertility and improving sperm and egg quality due to the rich content of essential nutrients.

Zinc is essential for male reproductive health and plays a crucial role in sperm production and maturation. A study published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine found that supplementing with zinc can improve sperm motility and morphology in men with low sperm count and poor sperm quality. Zinc is also essential for female reproductive health and plays a critical role in oocyte development and maturation.

Selenium is an important micronutrient for male and female reproductive health. It is involved in the production of sperm and plays a role in protecting sperm from oxidative damage. It is also involved in oocyte maturation and plays a role in protecting oocytes from oxidative damage. A study published in the Journal of Andrology found that selenium supplementation can improve sperm motility, morphology, and concentration in men with infertility. Another study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research found that selenium supplementation improved fertility outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Iodine is essential for thyroid function and plays a role in female and male reproductive health. Iodine supplementation has been shown to improve fertility outcomes in women and can improve semen volume and total sperm count in men.

The Multi may assist in increasing libido due to the high nutrient content of these ingredients. Specifically, nutrients such as zinc, vitamin D, and iodine, which play a role in reproductive and sexual health.

The Multi is high in Zinc, which is an essential mineral for male and female sexual health. Zinc plays a role in testosterone production in men and is involved in the regulation of menstrual cycles in women. Testosterone is also INTEGRAL in women to maintain a balanced libido. Low levels of zinc have been associated with decreased libido and erectile dysfunction in men.

The Multi is also high in Vitamin D which has been linked to sexual health. Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with reduced libido in women. Vitamin D deficiency is a common struggle of men and women.

The Multi, high in Iodine can help to support libido due to iodine deficiency has been linked to reduced fertility and impaired sexual function.

Natural supplements are often considered better than synthetic supplements for several reasons.

Bioavailability: Natural supplements are typically more bioavailable than synthetic supplements, meaning they are easier for the body to absorb and use. This is because natural supplements are typically in a form that is more similar to the form that is found in whole foods so your body knows what to do with it. They contain all the co-factors to help your body absorb it. Synthetic supplements, on the other hand, are often in a form that is not readily absorbed by the body. Synthetic supplements often require the body to take co-factors needed to absorb it out of other tissues and cells, potentially causing deficiencies of those co-factors in the body.

Synergy: Natural supplements often contain a complex mix of nutrients and other compounds that work together synergistically to provide health benefits. This is because natural supplements are derived from whole foods, which contain a complex mix of nutrients and other compounds that work together to support health. Synthetic supplements, on the other hand, typically only contain isolated nutrients.

Safety: Natural supplements are often considered safer than synthetic supplements because they are derived from natural sources and are less likely to cause adverse reactions. Synthetic supplements, on the other hand, can sometimes cause adverse reactions, especially if taken in large doses.

Nutrient content: Natural supplements often contain a wider range of nutrients than synthetic supplements. This is because natural supplements are typically derived from whole foods, which contain a wide range of nutrients and other beneficial compounds. Synthetic supplements, on the other hand, often only contain isolated nutrients.
