Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in several bodily processes. It helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary for healthy bones and teeth. It is also important for immune system function and may help to protect against certain diseases. Vitamin D is found in a variety of foods, including fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods such as milk and cereal. It is also produced by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D supplements are available in a variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, and liquids. The recommended daily intake of vitamin D varies depending on age, sex, and other factors, and it is important to follow the dosage recommendations provided by a healthcare professional. There are several different forms of vitamin D available, with the two most popular being ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).

Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin crucial for several bodily functions. It plays a pivotal role in the formation of red blood cells, aiding in the prevention of anemia. Vitamin B12 is essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system and proper brain function, as it is involved in the synthesis of myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers. This vitamin is primarily found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, and eggs, making it important for vegetarians and vegans to consider supplementation. A deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to neurological issues, fatigue, and cognitive impairment.

Calcium
Calcium is a vital nutrient found in various foods such as dairy products, certain vegetables, and many fortified items. Over 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, predominantly as hydroxyapatite. The remaining calcium circulates in the blood, extracellular fluid, muscles, and other tissues, where it is essential for processes like nerve signaling, muscle contraction, vascular activities, glandular secretion, and maintaining cell membrane and capillary permeability. It also plays critical roles in enzyme reactions, respiration, kidney function, and blood clotting, and is involved in neurotransmitter and hormone release, amino acid uptake, vitamin B12 absorption, and gastrin secretion. Calcium balance changes with age: it is positive during periods of growth, stable in adulthood, and tends to become negative in older age. Calcium loss occurs through feces, urine, sweat, and shedding skin cells. In women, reduced estrogen levels decrease calcium absorption and retention, increase bone turnover, and lead to lower bone mass. Calcium supplements come in various forms, including citrate and carbonate, which differ mainly in their calcium content and absorption rates. Calcium citrate is easily absorbed and can be taken without food, making it suitable for older adults or those with low stomach acid. In contrast, calcium carbonate, which contains a higher percentage of calcium, is best absorbed when taken with meals.

General Statements |
- Andrew Lessman’s ESSENTIAL FACTORS contains high potencies of the five vitamins and minerals that individuals tend to most frequently consume separately or add to their multivitamin. Essential Factors offers a convenient, economical and pH balanced source of five of the most important nutrients found in your diet. Each easy-to-swallow capsule supplies 200 mg of two exceptionally mild and non-acidic forms of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an extremely important vitamin, supporting numerous body systems, including fat metabolism, while also delivering powerful anti-oxidant protection throughout the body. Its absence from our diet results from our limited consumption of healthy fruits and vegetables. Awareness of this problem has elevated Vitamin C to the status of the most frequently supplemented separate vitamin. Essential Factors also includes 200 mg of Calcium and 200 IU of Vitamin D – the two most essential nutrients for a healthy skeleton. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in our bones and without Vitamin D, you cannot absorb or utilize any of that vital Calcium. Together they provide the most important support for bone health. Even more importantly perhaps is the fact that Vitamin D’s benefits go far beyond the skeleton and recent research suggests that it may well be the most important of all vitamins. Sadly, both of these vital nutrients are lacking from our diet and pose a major threat to long-term skeletal health. Making matters worse is the fact that Calcium is very hard to absorb from supplements and can frequently cause stomach upset, particularly when delivered in the form of tablets, so we only deliver our Calcium in the form of an ultra-fine super-soluble powder in a small, easy-to-swallow capsule that is guaranteed gentle even to the most sensitive stomach. Finally, Essential Factors includes high levels of the most frequently doctor-recommended B-Complex vitamins – Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid. They are essential for energy metabolism, nervous system function, as well as their role in supporting and maintaining homocysteine levels already in the normal range. Also, since Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid are so vital, yet are very easily depleted by stress, they have gone on to become the most frequently supplemented of all the B-Complex vitamins. In short, Essential Factors provides a convenient and economical method of getting the five vitamins and minerals that we separately supplement most.
