USANA CELLSENTIALS

Core CellSentials contain the following essential minerals:
• Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that control various
natural reactions in the body. It is important for proper calcium utilization, and for
maintaining healthy nerve, muscle, and cardiovascular function.*
• Calcium is essential for healthy bones and teeth as well as healthy muscle and nerve
function.*
• The magnesium and calcium blends in Core CellSentials are both composed partly
from the ascorbate forms ofthe nutrients. Ascorbate is a source of another essential
micronutrient: vitamin C.
• Iodine is a crucial component in the body’s normal production of thyroid hormones.
• Zinc is important for supporting our body’s natural healing process for minor cuts.
It aids healthy bone structure development and promotes healthy immune function
and healthy vision. Zinc also acts as an antioxidant.*
• Selenium aids the body’s natural ability to produce glutathione, an endogenous
antioxidant.
• Copper is a critical component of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD)—an
endogenous antioxidant—and it helps form hemoglobin. Copper is also essential for
collagen synthesis, and, thus, plays a role in connective tissue formation.*
• Manganese, a mineral important for protein and glucose metabolism, manganese
supports normal brain function. It activates numerous enzymes and can enhance the
SOD enzyme system to support endogenous antioxidant activity.*
• Chromium is an important component of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which
helps maintain healthy glucose metabolism (provided it is already healthy).*
• Boron supports the body’s ability to use calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus and
plays a role in healthy brain function. Vanadium helps support healthy serum glucose
levels, provided they are already healthy. And, maintaining a good balance of silicon
in the body is important for maintaining strong bones and connective tissues.*
• N-acetyl l-cysteine helps to support the production of endogenous antioxidants
activated by the InCelligence Complex in Vita-Antioxidant.
