Description

• Contributes to the maintenance of vision, skin, membranes and immune function
• Contributes to the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums
• Helps prevent vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc deficiencies
• Provides 9999 IU of vitamin A per daily dose
• Contains 498 mg of vitamin C and 24 mg of zinc per daily dose

TAD+ is a multivitamin combination that helps the body metabolize macronutrients and maintain skin health.

• B vitamins are used to support hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including the formation of substrates for energy production in the Krebs cycle.1 
• Zinc is very present in the epidermis, and is necessary for epidermal cell proliferation.2 The production of retinol binding protein, which transports vitamin A into cells, also relies on zinc.3 
• Vitamin A has three main roles in the body:
  
  1. to take part in maintaining the barrier function of the skin by increasing the thickness of the epidermis and the number of glycosaminoglycans, polysaccharides that contribute to skin hydration
  2. take part in the production of rhodopsin to detect light, especially in low light environments;
  3. stimulate the development of immune cells.4-6 
• Vitamin C contributes to the maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums through its role in the synthesis of collagen, the major structural protein of connective tissue.1 Vitamin C also participates in wound healing and helps maintain good health by preventing free radical damage to DNA.1
