The form of folate (a B vitamin occurring naturally in food) that is manufactured and used in supplements and fortified foods.

A carotenoid found in carrots, cantaloupe, apricots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, winter squash, mangos, collard greens, spinach, kale, broccoli, and other orange, red, and dark green fruits and vegetables.

Phosphorous is the second-most abundant (second to Calcium) mineral in the body. Phosphorus is a component of bones, teeth, DNA, and RNA [1]. In the form of phospholipids, phosphorus is also a component of cell membrane structure and of the bodys key energy source, ATP. Phosphate Salts are the form that the mineral phosphorous uses to bind to other minerals in the body.

Strontium is a silvery metal found naturally as a non-radioactive element. About 99% of the strontium in the human body is concentrated in the bones. Strontium works alongside calcium to increase bone density, while also slowing the rate of bone loss.

A general term for a group of compounds that includes provitamin A carotenoids (found in foods that come from plants) and retinol (preformed vitamin A found in foods that come from animals). The body can use retinol to make retinal and retinoic acid (other forms of vitamin A). Vitamin A plays an important role in vision, bone growth, reproduction, immunity, cell development, and skin health. Vitamin A is found in some foods, including eggs, liver, fortified milk, cheese, leafy green vegetables (such as spinach, kale, turnip greens, collards, and romaine lettuce), broccoli, dark orange fruits and vegetables (such as apricots, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, papaya, mango, and cantaloupe), and red bell pepper.

Description for Vitamin B5

A group of chemical compounds that contain cobalt and are needed for certain chemical reactions in the body. Vitamin B12 is involved in maintaining healthy nerve cells and red blood cells. It is needed to make DNA (the genetic material in all cells), and is required for the metabolism (chemical changes that take place in the tissues to produce energy and the basic materials needed by the body) of carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Also called cobalamin.

Thiazide diuretics reduce calcium excretion by the kidneys and may increase risk for hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and possible renal failure.

When taken together with diuretics, these supplements may have additive blood pressure lowering effects and increase risk for hypotension.

Ginkgo may reduce the effectiveness of some diuretics.
