Pure & Essential Advanced Multivitamin and Minerals for Men is a high-absorption multi-nutrient supplement without iron formulated to provide comprehensive nutritional support for adult men of all ages. This vegan formula features highly bioavailable and active methylated forms, allowing nutrient levels to be effectively raised in the body for superior benefits. Enhanced with sustained release technology and combined with twice-daily dosing, this supplement steadily releases nutrients into the bloodstream for all-day nutrient coverage.
Expertly formulated by Igennus nutrition scientists with effective doses and balanced nutrient ratios, this supplement works in harmony with the body. It complements and tops up the diet, so it is safe to take long term.
Designed to support overall physical and mental wellbeing, we have elevated doses of vitamin D, B6 & B12 and zinc, plus 9.5mg lycopene for enhanced coverage for energy and endurance, immune function, male hormone balance, brain function and mood, muscle function, cardiovascular and prostate health.
Methylated & active formsAs B vitamins are often difficult to utilise in the body, especially for those with the MTHFR genetic variants (which impact how your body processes folic acid and other important B vitamins), this multivitamin contains methylated and active B vitamin forms. These body-ready B vitamins are easily accessible to use straight away. We use methylated folate rather than poorly absorbed folic acid, vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate which has cofactor activity to support various processes in the body, and vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin. | High absorption nutrientsWe use the optimally absorbed, fully reacted and chelated zinc and copper glycinate. As zinc and copper compete for absorption, this formula contains an optimal ratio to keep the body in balance. While there are two forms of vitamin D, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is better absorbed and utilised and is significantly more biologically effective than vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). Our D3 is sourced from sustainable algae. We have omitted iron from this formula as the standard diet provides sufficient levels for men; excessive iron intake in men can raise oxidative stress markers. | Enhanced with lycopeneLycopene is a carotenoid antioxidant found in red fruit and vegetables, responsible for their red pigmentation. Providing 9.5mg per serving, lycopene provides extra support against free radicals and oxidative stress and is well documented for supporting prostate, cardiovascular, eye and cellular health. Men generally have higher baseline metabolic rates (BMR) than women, which may contribute to higher levels of oxidative stress in the body. This advanced formula provides a complex of nutrients with antioxidant activity, including vitamins C, E and selenium. |
Energy production & moodFor those with low energy levels, B-vitamins, vitamin C and magnesium help to reduce tiredness and fatigue by supporting normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B5 are required to produce energy from food, vitamin B6 helps break down stored energy from muscles and vitamin B12 is required for the production of cellular energy. B vitamins also help to support the production of neurotransmitters, which may impact mood. B5, B6, folate, B12 and vitamin C contribute to psychological functions and mental performance. | Immune function & stressLow nutrient status and stress is increasingly being linked with frequent illness, therefore our multivitamin and mineral provides a range of nutrients to support immune health. Vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc are particularly well researched for their ability to maintain normal function of the immune system. Vitamin C, B2, vitamin E and zinc are also useful at protecting cells from oxidative damage. These immune strengthening benefits are also present during times of stress, and may help to reduce risk of infection. | Heart health & hormonesSelenium, vitamin C & E and zinc protect cells from oxidative stress and B vitamins support heart health in various ways, including maintenance of normal red blood cells and normal homocysteine metabolism. Homocysteine is a toxic by-product of liver detoxification, with higher levels a known risk factor for heart disease. Lycopene is also added to this multivitamin for antioxidant benefits. Pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 and zinc support hormone balance and Zinc also contributes to normal fertility and reproduction. |
