Source Naturals Life Force Multiple was honored as a leading formula in an independent  scientific analysis of 500 multiples,  ranking higher than any other national brand.  Lyle MacWilliam, author of the Comparative  Guide to Nutritional Supplements (http://www.comparativeguide.com) ranked  multiples based on criteria developed from the published recommendations  of the most renowned nutritional authorities: Phyllis Balch,  C.N.C.; Michael Colgan, Ph.D.; Earl Mindell, Ph.D.; Michael  Murray, N.D.; Richard Passwater, Ph.D.; Ray Strand, M.D.; and  Julian Whitaker, M.D.

Source Naturals’ success in this rigorous scientific  analysis reflects our Bio-Aligned™ formulation  method. Life Force goes deep to the underlying  cause of health imbalances by supporting multiple  body systems. And now, based on the latest  scientific research, we have improved the  formula by adding even more antioxidants and  other cutting-edge ingredients. According to  Lyle MacWilliam, “Source Naturals made a top  ranked multiple even better!” And based on  Lyle’s analysis of the new formula, Life Force is  now the highest rated multiple of any evaluated  in the current edition of this guide,  scoring a 100% rating.

Bio-Align™ Yourself with Life Force
Life Force Multiple was chosen as  one of America’s most elite and comprehensive  multiples, as reported in the  Comparative Guide to Dietary  Supplements by Lyle MacWilliam, 3rd  ed. Life Force received this acknowledgement  by nutrition experts because  it is uniquely effective. This Bio-Aligned  Formula™ goes beyond ordinary multiples  that simply replace nutrients missing  from the diet. Life Force provides  key organ-specific nutrients to support  your body’s energy generation, heart,  brain, immune system, musculoskeletal  system, skin, liver, eyes, and more.  When all your body systems function in  harmony, everything in life comes  together. Your mood is positive, your  mind is clear, you’ve got energy in your  step—that’s your Life Force working  for you.

Get Ahead  with Activated Energy  and a Healthy Metabolism
Your metabolism determines how  much you weigh, how energetic you  feel, and the effective functioning of all  your systems. Life Force is a rarity – a  unique multiple containing an incredible  number of nutrients at the potency  levels that truly support your healthy  metabolic function. For example, it  contains coenzyme Q10, which plays a  crucial role in cellular energy production.  CoQ10 is a vital intermediate in  the electron transport chain, one of the  body’s energy production cycles, which  converts glucose, or blood sugar, into  ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), a high  energy molecule that is the body’s  “energy currency.” Life Force also  supplies alpha-lipoic acid and the  potent R-lipoic acid form of lipoic  acid, which are both referred to as the  universal antioxidants and important  intermediaries in the Krebs cycle,  another energy production cycle.  Life Force also contains tyrosine and  iodine, both precursors to thyroid hormones.  These hormones regulate key  metabolic functions like heart rate,  digestive function, weight management  and energy levels.
No discussion of metabolism would be  complete without mentioning the B  vitamins and their coenzymated forms,  such as thiamin cocarboxylase,  riboflavin mononucleotide, and the  methylcobalamin form of vitamin B-12. These critical vitamins and their  immediately bioavailable coenzymated  forms are formulated to play critical  roles in thousands of enzyme  reactions that promote carbohydrate  metabolism, energy  production, and the mental  functions that invigorate  and activate you as you move  through your busy days. And  now green tea extract with  EGCG (Epigallocatechin  Gallate) has been added to  the formula for added metabolic  support.

Protect Your Heart and  Circulatory System
The amazing muscular organ  that is your heart beats more  than 100,000 times a day,  365 days a year, promoting  vitality and alertness by constantly  oxygenating our tissues.  Life Force supports  your cardiovascular system  with antioxidant coenzyme  Q10, which helps support  heart muscle metabolism.  Life Force also contains the  minerals potassium and magnesium,  electrolytes vital for healthy  heartbeat and heart function, and the  herb hawthorn, a rich source of antioxidant  flavonoids, which has traditionally  been used as a heart tonic. Life Force also supplies vitamins B-6, B-12  and folic acid to help maintain healthy  homocysteine levels and vitamin K to  support healthy circulation. Unlike  common multiples, it supports cholesterol  wellness, circulatory health and  antioxidant cardiovascular protection,  with both the typical d-alpha form of  vitamin E but and the more potent and  effective gamma-tocopherol and similarly  structured tocotrienols.

Skin and Musculoskeletal Support
Life Force furnishes nutrients to build  healthy bones, muscles and skin. We all  know that calcium and magnesium are  crucial for bone health, but many people  don’t know that there are a variety of  nutritional cofactors that help build  bone, such as vitamin D (which  enhances calcium absorption and utilization),  boron, manganese and copper.  Life Force also supplies vitamin C  and copper, necessary nutrients for collagen  production (collagen is a key  constituent of connective tissue in  joints, skin and other areas), and the  cutting-edge nutrient methylsulfonylmethane  (MSM), an assimilable form  of the mineral sulfur, used by the body  to build and maintain connective tissues,  including joint cartilage, hair,  skin and nails. Additional nutraceuticals  to support healthy skin include  DMAE bitartrate, CoQ10, and alpha  lipoic acid. Life Force also now  includes rutin, quercetin, green tea  extract and 65% more turmeric extract  for your joint comfort.

Brain and Nerves Nutrition
The hectic pace and constant  demands of life can keep our pulse  racing, our nerves jangling and our  temples throbbing. Our nervous systems  are crying out, “Help!”
Life Force provides that help.  Life Force supplies the most highly  bioavailable and bioactive forms of the  amino acid tyrosine – the N-acetyl form  and the acetyl-L form. Tyrosine is an  important precursor to epinephrine and  norepinephrine (collectively known as  the catecholamines), which helps you  respond to stress. It also contains high  doses of vitamins C and B-6, required  by the adrenal glands to produce the  catecholamines. In addition, Life Force delivers the full spectrum of B  vitamins, all important for healthy nervous  system function. Now Life Force also contains a more bio-available form  of tyrosine, acetyl-L-Tyrosine.
And Life Force contains Neuroceutical®  nutrients that support healthy brain  function by furnishing DMAE and  choline. Both are precursors to the  important neurotransmitter acetylcholine  and are important for memory  focus and muscular movement. Choline  is also a precursor to phosphatidylcholine,  an important constituent of the cellular  membranes that surround and protect our  brain cells. In addition, Life Force contains  the renowned herb Ginkgo biloba  and now even more grape seed extract,  both effective antioxidants that can prevent  lipid peroxidation, which is critically  important for the high amounts of fatty  tissue in the brain. Life Force—good  food for the brain.

Immune Defense
Life Force Multiple supports your  immune system, so you can feel your  best through the seasons. Life Force contains the immunosupportive nutrient  vitamin A, which fosters cell-mediated  immunity and protects the epithelial  linings of the respiratory and digestive  tracts. Two forms of vitamin A are  supplied: preformed vitamin A and its  precursor, the potent antioxidant betacarotene.  Other immuno-supportive  nutrients in Life Force include vitamin  B-6, vitamin C and zinc, which is  fundamental for proper functioning of  our T-cells, the “seek and destroy” cells  of our immune system. Life Force also now includes 40% more lipoic  acid, including the highly bioavailable  alpha and R-isomer forms. Lipoic acid  along with the B vitamins and CoQ10  promote building the energy reserves  needed when the immune system  needs to kick into high gear.

Powerful Liver Support
Your liver is responsible for converting  many nutrients into their metabolically  active forms before your body can  use them. After activation, these nutrients  travel through the blood stream to  target organs where they perform their  metabolic functions. Not only does the  liver activate nutrients, but it also plays  a crucial role in a variety of other metabolic  functions, from fat digestion and  cholesterol production to blood sugar  regulation to the processing and elimination  of toxins, an important role in  today’s increasingly polluted world. For  all these reasons, nourishing the liver is  crucial. And Life Force does just that.
Life Force contains alpha-lipoic acid,  turmeric, silymarin and N-acetyl cysteine  (NAC) – all potent antioxidants  that support healthy liver function.  NAC and alpha-lipoic acid both help  produce glutathione, one of the liver’s  primary detoxifying molecules.  Silymarin, the active flavonoid complex  of the herb milk thistle, as well as  coenzyme Q10, have been shown in  vitro to inhibit lipid peroxidation of  cell membranes. Turmeric extract promotes  bile flow and is a rich source of  the antioxidant, curcumin. Life Force also contains choline and inositol, vitamin-  like molecules which act as  lipotropics, unique substances that prevent  the deposition of fat in the liver.  Since the liver is naturally high in fats,  Life Force is one of the only multiples  that contains the fat-soluble form of  vitamin C, ascorbyl palmitate, for  antioxidant protection.

Complete Antioxidant Defense
Oxidative stress is the primary cause of  accelerated aging. This and other forms  of free radical damage are constantly  threatening your body. Whether it is  from pollution, ultraviolet light, food  additives, or from other sources, it is  more critical than ever to protect your  body with antioxidants. Life Force contains 24 of the most powerful  antioxidants known to science, including  eight new antioxidants based on  the latest research. It contains antioxidants  that are water soluble, such as  quercetin and rutin, and ones that are  fat soluble, such as alpha-lipoic acid  and lycopene. There are antioxidants  that are especially protective of specific  body systems, such as lutein to protect  the macula in your eye, lycopene to  protect your prostate gland, and  tocotrienols to protect your arteries.

Cutting-Edge Vision Nutrition
The structure and functions of your  eyes are very complex. Life Force contains  nutrients to help support and  maintain healthy eye tissue, which is  particularly susceptible to oxidative  stress from free radicals. To support  your healthy macula, aqueous tissue  and optical nerve signals, Life Force includes ingredients such as lutein,  astaxanthin, beta carotene, bilberry,  zinc, lipoic acid and quercetin.

Life Force Replenishes Essential  Nutrients to Support Your Low  Carb Lifestyle
Life Force contains optimal levels of  many nutrients that might be deficient  in low carb meals. Counting carbs can  lead to restrictions of nutrient-dense  foods, such as dairy products, grains,  fruits and vegetables. Life Force contains  many of the same protective  antioxidants, vitamins and minerals as  fruits and vegetables, including betacarotene,  vitamin C, vitamin E, flavinols,  magnesium and selenium. It also  contains high levels of the same vitamins  found in grains, including all of  the B vitamins, to support your body’s  healthy energy metabolism. And it  contains nutrients found in dairy products,  such as calcium, potassium, vitamin  A and vitamin D.

Support Healthy Fat and Protein  Consumption with Life Force
Low carb lifestyles mean higher consumption  of proteins and fats.  Unfortunately, there are artery, heart,  colon and many other health concerns  associated with meals that are high in  fat and protein and low in fiber and  produce. However, the nutrients in  Life Force can help you better process  these foods when eating this way. Life Force contains high levels of protective  fat-soluble antioxidants such as  alpha lipoic acid, ascorbyl palmitate  (vitamin C ester) and vitamin E to protect  your body from the free radicals  generated by consuming more fats. It  also contains many nutrients for liver  health, such as silymarin, CoQ10, NAcetyl  Cysteine and turmeric to help  support the fat metabolism your liver is  responsible for. Life Force also contains  a high level of the B vitamin  biotin, which aids in fat, protein and  energy metabolism.

Complete Energizing Nutrition
Life Force is the only multiple to target  organ systems with specific nutrients  and bio-botanicals, antioxidants and  Neuroceuticals® for total body harmony  and energy activation, system by system.  Only this dedication to going deep  to the cellular root of system imbalances  can produce a multiple so effective that  it is acknowledged in a prestigious scientific  review, the Comparative Guide toNutritional Supplements.

A nutritional program with Life Force at its center can be an easy first  step in joining the Wellness  Revolution. The goal of this revolution  is a long, healthy and fulfilling life.  Allow yourself to feel your best, to  achieve mental and physical harmony,  to radiate energy and vitality.
