Each multivitamin uses quality ingredients in the standard multivitamin components, such as the methylcobalamin form of Vitamin B-12, the D-3 form of Vitamin D, and a mix of various forms of minerals utilizing the amino acid chelate or krebs cycle form of the mineral for greater absorption.
Maximum Vitality® includes a number of expensive ingredients not included in the competitive offerings. These include Coenzyme Q10, natural trans-Resveratrol, alpha- and r-lipoic acid, the gamma tocopherol and tocotrienol forms of vitamin E, and proanthocyanidins from grape seed. Many of the ingredients in prophylactic doses are included to balance and enhance overall health. These dosages are not intended to cure disease or patients with serious deficiencies.
With the lowest price per month, your patients will be pleased in your choice of Maximum Vitality as the greatest value for your patients.
Compliance is perhaps the most critical confounding factor. For if the patient is required to follow too difficult a dosing protocol, and ends up not taking their multivitamin, then no matter how high the quality, the unused supplements provide no value. Maximum Vitality provides the greatest ease of compliance with a dose of only 2 tablets per day.
Confirming the sophisticated formulation and quality ingredients, Lyle MacWilliam's 2014 5th edition of the Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements assigned Rejuvenation Science® Maximum Vitality™ a top 5-Star rating. Past editions show a Maximum Vitality rating of 5-Stars in the 2007 edition and 100 in an update to their 2003 edition, one of few multivitamins to maintain a premium rating for over 10 years.
