Why do I need to take a Multivitamin?
Our bodies do not produce vitamins, so they must come from an outside source. The average North American Diet contains foods that have been stripped of many of their healthy components and are devoid of many vitamins and minerals. It is also is usually low in antioxidants and can cause free radical damage that can compromise cellular health. Aequus MultiVitaMIN is rich in antioxidants which can help the body cope with oxidative stress.

What is Lycopene?
Lycopene is an antioxidant carotenoid, derived 100% from tomatoes, protective against certain cancers and heart disease. Men who eat substantial quantities of tomatoes appear to have a lower incidence of prostate cancer.

What are Carotenoids?
Carotenoids are a class of compounds that is related to vitamin A. The carotenes include beta-carotene and lycopene. Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the liver and is often used in lieu of vitamin A supplementation. It is not toxic and generally cannot be overdosed because the liver only converts what it needs into vitamin A.

You can turn your skin slightly yellow by taking large quantities (or eating tons of carrots!) but this is not harmful to the body. Beta-carotene that is not converted to vitamin A is a free radical scavenger. Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. Beta-carotene can help in cancer, which can result from free radicals damaging cellular genetic material. It also protects the body against environmental pollutants other substances that and lead to aging. Lycopene is a carotenoid that functions as an antioxidant for the prostate gland and lowers the risk of prostate cancer.

Xanthophylls are another subgroup of carotenoids. They include lutein and zeaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin work in the eye as antioxidants. Cataracts are caused by free radical damage of the lens of the eye and therefore lutein and zeaxanthin can treat cataracts. Studies show that they also protect the eye from damage and can reduce the incidence of eye disease such as macular degeneration.
