Douglas Laboratories Ultra Preventive X - 240 Tablets:

Douglas Laboratories’ most comprehensive multivitamin and bioavailable mineral supplement for optimal health, with organic fruits, vegetables and phytonutrients.

This unique formula provides antioxidant support and many beneficial nutrients — including carotenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, and bioavailable forms of vitamins and minerals — that contribute to optimal health.

Ultra Preventive^® X has been updated with new and improved ingredients, including vitamin K₂ for bone health, the bioflavonoid quercetin, and alpha lipoic acid for antioxidant support. In addition, Ultra Preventive^® X now contains an organic phytonutrient blend with polyphenols, increased choline content for methylation and liver support, increased lutein and zeaxanthin for antioxidant defence, three types of vitamin B₁₂, and improved mineral forms for bioavailability.
