NSI Synergy Women's Multi-Vitamin Version 5 -- 240 Capsules

NSI Synergy Women's Multi-Vitamin Version 5 -- 240 Capsules

Designed with effective amounts of powerful antioxidants and other beneficial nutrients to promote total body health protection. How Does NSI® Synergy Women's® Multi-Vitamin Version 5 Work? Synergy Women's Version 5 is one of the most advanced multi-vitamin formulas specially designed for women’s changing health needs. Synergy Women’s contains nutrients that may help promote healthy heart, brain, eyes, breast, uterus, bone, joints, gastrointestinal tract, immune function, cell division and healthy blood sugar levels. Acetyl L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid & Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Approximately 95% of cellular energy production occurs in the mitochondria, “power plants,” found within each cell. However, this cellular energy production also generates excessive amounts of free radicals that damage mitochondria resulting in a marked loss of mitochondrial function as people get older. Acetyl L-carnitine helps transport fats into mitochondria which increases mitochondrial energy production. CoQ10 also increases the production of mitochondrial energy by transferring electrons. Alpha lipoic acid and CoQ10 are powerful antioxidants which may protect mitochondria from free radical damage.  . The combination of acetyl L-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid synergistically and markedly improves and protects mitochondrial energy production. Human studies of acetyl L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid and CoQ10 have each been reported to help protect cardiovascular and neurological health so combining these three antioxidants together may be even more beneficial. Synergy Women’s has acetyl L-carnitine (300 mg), alpha lipoic acid (300 mg) and naturally fermented CoQ10 (200 mg) which may promote healthy aging by improving and protecting the production of mitochondrial energy. Synergy Women’s may help many women to feel more energy through-out the day and may also help some women to notice better brain function. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant which is concentrated in grape skins and a bottle of red wine contains approximately 1 to 10 mg of resveratrol. Synergy Women’s has 50 mg of resveratrol as ResveraPure®. Resveratrol also improves mitochondrial energy production so combining resveratrol together with acetyl L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid and CoQ10 may promote anti-aging (healthy aging). Resveratrol has many beneficial actions which in animal studies has been shown to protect cardiovascular and neurological health, to reduce the development of abnormal cell growth, and to lengthen lifespan. Grape Seed Extract: Animal studies and human epidemiological studies report that drinking red wine is associated with better heart and brain health and a longer lifespan. ActiVin® Grape Seed Extract (200 mg) has a typical ORAC antioxidant score of 1,800 to 2,600 units which is equivalent in antioxidant activity to three to five servings of fruit. Proanthocyanidins are the major antioxidants in red wine. ActiVin® Grape Seed Extract (200 mg) has more than 170 mg of proanthocyanidins which is approximately equivalent in antioxidants to two glasses of red wine. The combination of resveratrol, grape seed extract and red wine extract may offer many of the health benefits of drinking red wine without the alcohol, calories or sulfites.  . Pine Bark Extract (using 100 to 200 mg daily) has been reported to improve mental concentration, vascular function and joint function. Synergy Women’s contains 200 mg of Pine Bark Extract (standardized with 95% oligomeric proanthocyanidins). Pomegranate Juice has a variety of antioxidants including the most important and potent group called punicosides.  Synergy Women’s has a full-spectrum pomegranate extract (500 mg; standardized as 40% punicosides) which is approximately equivalent in antioxidants to two glasses of pomegranate juice. Human clinical trials reported that drinking one glass daily of pomegranate juice improved the arteries in the heart and improved the carotid arteries in the neck. Green Tea: Drinking three cups of green tea has been reported to be associated with protection of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. Synergy Women’s includes 500 mg of a potent Green Tea Extract (standardized to 98% polyphenols, 80% catechins, 45% EGCG), which is roughly equivalent in antioxidant activity to drinking three cups of green tea. GI Tract, Immune Function, Blood Sugar Levels and Vision: Synergy Women’s has 3 billion colony forming units of probiotic (L. acidophilus and B. bifidum) which may help protect the gastrointestinal tract. Probiotics, vitamin E, zinc, and selenium (200 mcg) may boost immune function. Furthermore, alpha lipoic acid as well as the combination of chromium (in the superior form ChromeMate® at 400 mcg) and biotin (3,000 mcg) may help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. To promote vision and healthy eyes, this supplement includes chelated, highly-absorbable zinc (30 mg as OptiZinc®) and powerful antioxidants such as lutein, alpha lipoic acid, acetyl L-carnitine, CoQ10, quercetin and proanthocyanidins (from Grape Seed Extract and Pine Bark Extract). Breast, Uterus, Bones and Cartilage in Joints: Synergy Women's contains 60 mg of soy isoflavones (an amount that many people eat from soy in east Asia), which may help protect the breast and uterus from excessive estrogenic stimulation and may also help relieve symptoms associated with hormonal fluctuations. Synergy Women’s promotes healthy bones with 500 mg of highly absorbable calcium (as calcium citrate, malate, Advan-C™), magnesium (250 mg), vitamin D3 (2,000 IU), vitamin K (1,000 mcg) and boron (3 mg). Vitamin D3 at 2,000 IU is an effective dose which may help to promote healthy bones and healthy cell division. Glucosamine sulfate (750 mg) is also included for it may help protect cartilage in joints. Nails, Skin and Hair: Some women who take Synergy Women’s may notice that their nails grow faster and are stronger which could be due to several nutrients, especially the B vitamins and particularly the 3,000 mcg of biotin.  Some women may notice smoother skin—probably due to the antioxidants. It appears more difficult to influence hair although a few women may notice improvement in their hair after taking Synergy Women’s for about 4 months—perhaps due to the B vitamins and zinc. NSI® Synergy Women’s® Multi-Vitamin Version 5 is better because it:. -- Serves as a comprehensive multi-vitamin that features effective doses of powerful antioxidants and other nutrients which may promote healthy heart, brain, eyes, breast, uterus, bones, joints, gastrointestinal tract, immune function, cell division and healthy blood sugar levels. . -- Provides exceptional quality at extraordinary value.  .

"This multi-vitamin is a bit of a pain to take since you take 8 capsules each day, and the price is not exactly cheap, but I have felt much better since starting them, with increased energy levels. I felt I needed to support both thyroid and adrenal health, and this product has been a stepping stone in doing just that."

"Chose this product after rave reviews from a friend. I seem to find the over the counter vitamins made my stomach upset and I broke out really bad all over my face.

I tried the product and after 1 month of consistancy I can say I am thrilled I learned about NSI products. This product doesn't make me sick nor has my face erupted.

I would say the only downside is taking 8 capsules. I also had a dietician lookover the ingrediants and she said they meet or exceed daily requirements. She felt they were quite good.

I have also bought other NSI products like HTP, Resvratol Blood Sugars and St Johns Wort. The combo seems to be doing me wonders.

Worth the money if you want good quality multivitamins.

"I was very happy with this vitamin when I first tried it but wanted to give a whole foods vitamin a try. I think I like Alive vitamins better. The price of the Alive vitamins is better too. While this is a wonderful vitamin I would recommend giving the Alive vitamins a try. You might find that they do the same job. I did have to add a few more supplements to the Alive than I did to these Synergy vitamins but I think I am still saving money with the Alive and I appreciate the added benefits of them being whole foods."

"This is way too many pills to swallow. I tried this for one month and have gone back to the NSI Synergy Basic Multi- Vitamin Version 3. It has just about all of the same vitamins but you only have to swallow 2 pills. When taking Women's Mullti-Vitamin Version 5, I still needed to take additional Calcium and Omega 3's so the pill count was not worth it."

"Everything you could possibly need (and at optimum amounts, no less!) in a supplement in 8 pills per day at an incredible value.
I actually like the idea of taking pills 3 or 4 times a day as it reminds me to stop and have a proper meal. Sometimes, if I've been particularly good about nutrition for the day, I go ahead and skip my last 2 capsules.
I also like the fact that these are in a gelatin capsule format. Easier and quicker dissolving means more nutrients make it into your system.
I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this product. There is no better, more complete multi vitamin out there. Especially not at this price point! The only thing that could make this better is a guarantee that it doesn't contain any GMO's.

"I have been taken multi vitamins for several years. Most of them are not effective and either makes me hungry or weak. This product is the best ever! I felt the energy the very first day I took this vitamins. It has been great. I can already see improvement in the way my nails grow. The only down side is having to take 8 capsules at a time, but they are quiet easy to swallow, so that makes it alright. I love the product and will continue to use it for as long as I can afford it."

"This is an excellent women's formula - it contains the same ingredients in the same proportion as other, more expensive women's formulas. Great bonus ingredients like Green tea extract, carnitine, ALA, CoQ, etc. My only complaint is that you are supposed to take 8 per day, which I find a bit difficult to pull of. But overall, excellent product - I have and will buy again!"

"I haven't noticed a particular difference in my health after starting these and on the days when I can bring myself to swallow all eight capsules, 3 out of 5 times I'll end up choking on them - they literally (and painfully) get stuck in my throat. I also bought the same vitamin with Iron to supplement - so I take 4 of these and 4 of the iron formula. I feel no difference from the single multi-vitamin tablet I used to take. I won't be purchasing these again."

"I've been taking several Multivitamins w/natural ingredients as this one in the past, but this one proves to have the best concoction/combination that every woman in their premenopausal stage needs. However though, I sincerely hope the manufacturer looks into the Magnesium oxide ingredient here that seemed to have strayed into this bottle. Magnesium Citrate is still known to be more healthy and absorbable than the oxide version. And the price is quite expensive compared with other MVMs. Nevertheless, this seemed negligeable looking at the whole package and its great effect healthwise. I could do away w/o the other vitamins but not SYNERGY Ver.5."

"Not only are there too many capsules to take, I don't feel like one of them is even in the formulation - the pine bark extract, which I have taken solo in the past and really noticed the difference. I have a more difficult time swallowing capsules in the evening and when I have to take four of these sometimes I just can't do it. So, I end up taking only half of the serving of 8 for the day, and don't get the full benefit of the multi. I was trying to reduce the number of supplements I have to take overall by taking a multi, but it won't work this way. I am going to try some other combinations of supplements to get where I'm trying to go: more liquid, less caps & no tablets."
