The FoodCaps™ bag contains: 3 capsules

FoodCaps™

How it works: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They aid in repair, growth, and development of muscle tissue. The protein in FoodCaps is combined with all the needed vitamins and minerals.

Usage: Take one serving once a day as needed.

About the ingredients:

Vitamin D: Essential for bone growth and balancing mineral levels within the body. Needed for proper absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines.

Vitamin E: Essential as an antioxidant for protecting essential fatty acids from oxidation damage due to free radical activity.

Thiamine (Vitamin B-1): Essential for releasing energy from carbohydrates, and for the nervous system.

Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2): Essential for metabolizing carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Important for assisting many enzymes in the liver to enable the efficient removal of toxins.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B-3): Essential for releasing energy from carbohydrates and the metabolism of proteins, fats. Vital for the formation of red blood cells and steroid hormones.

Vitamin B-6 (as Pyridoxine HCl): Essential for protein and amino acid metabolism, for promoting a healthy cardiovascular system, and in producing haemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying pigment in blood).

Folate (Folic Acid): Essential for transporting co-enzymes needed for amino acid metabolism in the body.

Vitamin B-12: Essential for efficient working of every cell in the body, incl. red blood cells. It is involved in the synthesis of D.N.A., the body´s genetic material. In addition, needed for proper functioning of the nervous system.

Biotin: Essential for helping enzymes in the manufacture of glycogen and fatty acids in the body, and in the production of prostaglandins. It is essential for normal growth and development of the skin, hair, nerves and bone marrow.

Pantothenic Acid: Essential for making glycogen (energy stores) and fatty acids in the body. Also required for making neuro-transmitter chemicals , and for the steroid hormones (sex hormones) testosterone and estrogen.

Calcium: Essential for bones and teeth, where most dietary calcium is found. The remainder moves in and out of cells allowing conduction of impulses between nerves, and the contraction of muscles.
Iodine:

Magnesium: Essential as a component of bone, and in general body metabolism where it is part of over 300 enzymes. It is also needed for the oxidation of glycogen for energy, muscle relaxation, and in the formation of new proteins within each body cell.

Zinc: Essential for metabolism, as zinc forms part of many enzymes involved in cell growth, immunity, production of testosterone (the male hormone), sperm formation and sexuality. It is also required for normal production of stomach acid.

Selenium: Essential for many key enzymes in the body. It is an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals.
Copper: Essential for many enzymes, especially those controlling normal production of blood cells and hormones. Too much copper will depress zinc levels.

Manganese: Essential for normal formation of bone and cartilage, and the control of glucose metabolism. It is also part of the antioxidant super oxide dismutase which helps prevent free radical damage.
Chromium: Essential for efficient glucose metabolism (as Glucose Tolerance Factor), insulin production, fatty acid metabolism and protein metabolism.

Molybdenum: Forms part of at least three enzyme systems, and is an important antioxidant.

Potassium: The third of the body´s electrolytes. It is the main cation (positively charged electrolyte) within the cells. It interacts with sodium and chloride in maintaining an optimum environment in and around each body cell. Like other electrolytes, it allows transmission of nerve impulses, and maintains the body´s water balance and normal heart rate.

Boron: Essential for the manufacture of many hormones, and is involved in bone formation via its possible role in the balance of estrogen.

Choline: Essential as a neuro-transmitter in the brain and nervous system, and as a “fat metabolizer” in the liver.
Inositol: Essential for the normal metabolism , calcium and insulin. May also be involved in fatty acid metabolism.

Vanadium: Latest research indicates its involvement in the sodium/potassium pump mechanism that is present in all cells.
PABA: PABA is used to improve the protein used in the body, it relates to red blood cell formation as well as assisting the manufacture of folic acid in the intestines.

Bioflavonoids (rutin, hesperidin): Increase the potency of antioxidants and maintain cell membranes, especially those lining blood vessels and collagen. Bioflavonoids are found in citrus fruits.
Whey / soy protein: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.
They aid in repair, growth, and development of muscle tissue.
