Multivitamin Intensive | 26 Active Ingredients | 365 Capsules | Vit4ever

Multivitamin Intenso by Vit4ever

Some people want more than a basic formula with the standard 100 percent per vitamin, especially if they are already familiar with the classic forms and are ready for the next step. For them, Vit4ever developed Multivitamin Intenso: 26 substances, including methylated B vitamins, chelated minerals and two additional plant substances, divided over two capsules per day. Where a common multivitamin stops at the classic vitamin forms, this formula opts for other forms, such as methylcobalamin and L-5-MTHF. One bottle contains 365 capsules, enough for about six months. The capsules are vegan and thus align with a diet without animal-derived ingredients.

Vitamin forms other than the standard form

The difference lies in the details of the raw materials. For folic acid (vitamin B9), Vit4ever uses L-5-MTHF (methylfolate). For vitamin B12, methylcobalamin was chosen. Vitamin B2 is included as riboflavin-5-phosphate and vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate, both phosphorylated forms of these vitamins. Vitamin C comes from calcium L-ascorbate, a buffered form that is less acidic than pure ascorbic acid. Folic acid contributes to normal blood formation and normal homocysteine metabolism, and vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. This choice of specific raw materials is exactly what distinguishes the formula from a classic A-Z variant with the standard forms.

Chelated minerals and extra vitamin K

Magnesium and zinc are bound to the amino acid glycine in this formula, a form known as bisglycinate, instead of the common oxide or citrate forms. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal nails and hair. Copper is also included as bisglycinate, the same chelate form as magnesium and zinc, which indicates that Vit4ever deliberately chose this binding form for the most important minerals. Where most multivitamins stop at vitamin D and E, Intenso also adds vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and K2 as MK-7 (K2VITAL). Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and to the maintenance of normal bones, functions that are often missing in a standard formula because vitamin K is simply not included. The combination of K2 as MK-7 with the fat-soluble vitamins A, D3 and E makes this a comprehensive package of fat-soluble vitamins.

Grape seed extract and coenzyme Q10

In addition to the vitamins and minerals, this formula contains grape seed extract with OPC (oligomeric procyanidins) and coenzyme Q10, a substance that your body also produces itself. These two additions do not have an EU health claim, but complement the formula with substances that you will not easily find in a common multivitamin, and which are normally sold separately as individual supplements. Coenzyme Q10 is a substance that occurs naturally in body cells. Grape seed extract is obtained from the seeds left over when grapes are pressed for wine, a waste stream that would otherwise often be thrown away. By adding these two substances to an already comprehensive vitamin and mineral package, Vit4ever Intenso clearly positions itself as the more comprehensive formula within the multivitamin range.

Usage and what distinguishes it from a basic formula

Take 2 capsules daily with sufficient water, preferably with a meal. With 365 capsules per bottle and two per day, you get about six months' supply, more than twice as long as with a bottle of 180 capsules at the same dosage. The difference with a classic A-Z multivitamin is not in the number of vitamins, but in the form: methylated B vitamins, chelated minerals, extra vitamin K and two plant substances that go beyond the basics. For those who are satisfied with the common forms and are looking for a low price per dose, a standard formula is often sufficient; for those who choose methylcobalamin, L-5-MTHF and bisglycinate minerals, Multivitamin Intenso is an alternative. That also makes it a logical step for those who previously used a standard multivitamin and are now curious about these forms within the same brand.
