Question 1

Why is this zinc supplement different than many others on the market?

Accepted Answer

We carefully source an enzyme activated form of zinc for this supplement. An essential mineral that’s second only to iron in its concentration in the body, zinc is often referred to as the “intelligence mineral.” Functionally, the liver also needs zinc in sufficient amounts so it can mobilize and release stored vitamin A into the bloodstream. We then combined it with a soil-based organism (SBO) probiotic to pack in extra benefits to take these capsules to the next level.

Question 2

What form of zinc is found in this formulation?

Accepted Answer

This is a whole-food fermented, enzyme activated zinc. “Enzyme activated” zinc differs from elemental zinc or amino acid chelated zinc where it is bound to one or two things. This form is typically much more recognizable to the body than zinc gluconate or others on the market.

Question 3

Why is Bacillus subtilis included in these products?

Accepted Answer

Because it is a spore-forming bacteria, Bacillus subtilis is generally not subject to destruction by stomach acid, bile, caffeine, or heat. That means you’re generally going to receive a very high percentage of that 2 billion CFU* delivered to where you need it most. *at time of manufacture

Question 4

Where is this Vitamin C derived from?

Accepted Answer

The Vitamin C found in Ancient Nutrients - Vitamin C + Probiotics is from lipid metabolite ascorbate.

Question 5

What form is this vitamin C and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

This vitamin C is in the form of lipid metabolite ascorbate. Ascorbic acid is vitamin C in chemical form. In this case, the ascorbic acid is reacted with lipid metabolites (fats) that surround and coat the vitamin C (ascorbate). The lipid metabolites support ascorbic acid’s entry into cells quickly and in an effective manner—acting as ascorbic acid carriers to help boost absorption and tissues’ distribution of vitamin C to help enhance cellular uptake. In short, it is considered “liposomal” and is optimized for absorption.

Question 6

Why is vitamin D so important?

Accepted Answer

Essential for proper absorption and metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and other nutrients, vitamin D is amazing. Did you know that without enough vitamin D, calcium is often limited in its absorption? Most of us understand the power of vitamin D, but did you know that it plays a role in up to 2,000 genes and in every single tissue and cell of the body? However, it’s estimated that up to 75 percent of American teens and adults don’t get enough vitamin D in their diet.. Why do many people come up short on vitamin D? Here are a few reasons: Older people make less vitamin D than younger people do when exposed to sunlight, but some people avoid being out in the sun altogether — meaning they aren’t making vitamin D at a rate necessary for overall health.. Where you live in the continental United States can make a difference, too. For example, if you live north of an imaginary line that stretches from the northern border of California to Boston, then the ultraviolet energy is not enough for vitamin D synthesis for four to six months out of the year. Then there’s diet. The typical American diet doesn’t provide adequate amounts of vitamin D. You may know, too, that vitamin D is actually a potent hormone and comes in two forms: vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 — with D3 being the preferred form. That’s why there’s Ancient Nutrients Vitamin D in vitamin D3 form.

Question 7

Why is this vitamin D different than many others on the market?

Accepted Answer

We carefully sourced a probiotic-fermented source of vitamin D. Found naturally in egg yolks, liver and fish egg roe, this essential vitamin is known for supporting cardiovascular health.†

Question 8

Are your products produced in a facility with allergens?

Accepted Answer

We now have a disclaimer that is on ALL of our products: "Produced on equipment that may also process peanuts, tree nuts, milk, soybean, wheat, sesame, shellfish, fish, egg."
