I’ve been writing a series once a week on micro nutrients where I cover some of the supplements we carry and discuss why they’re good for you.

Today I want to talk about the MNS system.
The truth is most multi vitamins don’t work. In fact typically when you take them many of the nutrients are passed right out of your system and not absorbed at all. The key to good health is not necessarily what you put in your mouth, but what is absorbed in the system, this is called bioavailability.
The MNS system has 3 different versions depending on what your individual needs are. Here are the explanations from the site with detailed descriptions of each system and what the differences are for you.
MNS 3- Even keel
MNS® 3 is our most comprehensive system. Not only will you benefit from appetite control, you will also receive the best core nutrition as we have added CardioQ, Calcium Plus and an additional OmegaPlex® to this system.* MNS® 3 offers sustained-release energy, which means energy that will last throughout the day.* And with less than half the caffeine of MNS® E and MNS® C, it’s a fantastic alternative for anyone looking for a lower-caffeine MNS® system.* For energy, appetite control and overall outstanding core nutrition and wellness, MNS® 3 is your answer.*
Listed below are the primary function(s) of each component that makes up MNS® 3:
New! CardioQ: This product combines the ingredients CoQ10, Vitamin D, and Lycopene to provide nutrition for healthy aging and cardiovascular support.* CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that helps support processes where energy is needed the most, such as the heart and the liver.* CoQ10 levels decrease as we grow older. Because of this, the need for supplementation increases as we age. Vitamin D deficiency has been identified as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D receptors are expressed in a variety of tissues, including cardiacmyocytes, vascular and endothelial cells. Vitamin D has also been shown to affect inflammation and cell proliferation and differentiation.* Lycopene is a powerful ingredient that provides cardiovascular and immune support and encourages healthy aging.*
ActoTherm: This time-honored AdvoCare product is based on an exclusive blend of botanicals including cinnamon, gotu kola, ginger and peppermint. This new version features a sustained-release to aid in preventing a spike and drop-off of energy throughout the day.*
BioTherm: A unique weight-management aid developed by AdvoCare that combines oolong tea, effective botanicals, B vitamins, and biotin to support weight control.*
The synergistic combination of ingredients in BioTherm helps your body utilize fats for energy production.* Biotin is also used by the body to facilitate the conversion of food to energy. It acts as a coenzyme in several metabolic reactions that aid in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates and the conversion of amino acids from protein into energy.*
CorePlex®: CorePlex is an optimal formulation of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and trace elements needed by the body to promote and sustain long-term health and well being.* By combining this synergistic blend of 36 nutrients, CorePlex supports healthy bone structure, growth and provides optimum nutritional support for healthy muscle, connective tissue and skin.* CorePlex is a great choice for adults and can help improve overall micro-nutrient status, as well as help improve the ability to perform daily tasks.
OmegaPlex®: OmegaPlex is a safe, convenient and easy way to get the omega-3 fatty acids that may be missing in your diet. OmegaPlex contains a concentrate of at least 500mg long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, 300mg EPA and 200mg DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids, such as those present in OmegaPlex, help support cardiovascular health in combination with a healthy diet and exercise.* These critically important oils even help contribute to the body’s inflammation management, support healthy joints and are important for the maintenance of healthy skin.*
ProBiotic Restore™ ULTRA: ProBiotic Restore ULTRA helps support healthy immune and intestinal function by replenishing normal beneficial intestinal microflora. It also aids in good digestion and enhances weight-management programs.* The multi-strain probiotic complex in ProBiotic Restore ULTRA provides six high potency strains – three species of Lactobacillus and three species of Bifidobacterium. Two billion colony-forming units (CFU) ensure full coverage of both the small and large intestines.*
Calcium Plus: Bones and teeth need far more than calcium alone to stay strong and healthy. They need a balanced array of minerals including magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, silicon and potassium plus vitamins C, D, K and more. Calcium Plus is an incredibly effective way to ensure you receive enough calcium to help keep bones and teeth strong and healthy.* Calcium Plus delivers two types of highly absorbable calcium, combined with other minerals, vitamins and botanicals.
