Ingredient Details:

Vitamin B-12 has often been touted as the “pep vitamin” because it helps form and regenerate healthy red blood cells which carry energy-giving oxygen into our bloodstream.  This vitamin is necessary to prevent anemia and to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.  It is also needed for calcium absorption.  It is most commonly available from animal sources which makes vegetarians likely candidates for B-12 deficiency.  It is also quite common for those with digestive problems to be deficient in this vitamin.  Early symptoms of B-12 deficiency can include sore tongue, pain in swallowing, tingling fingers and toes, balance problems, memory loss, depression, weakness and fatigue.

Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin) is necessary for red blood cell formation, antibody production and cell growth.  It is also necessary for the maintenance of good vision, skin, nails and hair.  Symptoms of a B-2 deficiency include cracks and sores at the corner of the mouth, purplish tongue and tearing, red, inflamed eyes.

Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine HCl) helps the body turn starch or sugar into energy.  Lack of B-1 can make it more difficult for the body to metabolize carbohydrates.  It is essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system, muscles and heart.  It also stabilizes the appetite.  Deficiency symptoms could include loss of appetite, weakness and feeling tired, nervous irritability, insomnia, mental depression and constipation.

Vitamin B-5 (Panthenol) is sometimes referred to as the “anti-stress” vitamin.  It helps the body utilize two other B vitamins, PABA and choline.  It helps in cell building and the development of the central nervous system.  It is also key to the production of the adrenal hormones and helps in the release of energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

Vitamin B-3 (Niacinamide) functions in over 50 metabolic reactions in the body.  All of these are important in the release of energy from carbohydrates.  B-3 is also very important for proper functioning of the nervous system, for healthy circulation and is essential in the production of hydrochloric acid in the digestive system.  It also has been shown to play a key role in lowering harmful levels of LDL, cholesterol and triglycerides while raising protective HDL levels.

Biotin (part of the B-complex) is important for maintaining tissue health, is necessary in the body’s utilization of the B-complex vitamins and for converting folic acid into its biologically active form.

Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) is necessary for the synthesis and breakdown of amino acids, the building blocks of protein and aids in fat and carbohydrate metabolism.  It is also vital in the normal function and growth of red blood cells.  It aids in the absorption of vitamin B-12 and several trace minerals including copper, iron and zinc.  It promotes healthy skin and reduces muscle spasms, leg cramps, hand numbness, and stiffness of hands.  An insufficient amount of B-6 is associated with such ailments as carpal tunnel syndrome, anemia, and mouth sores.  Recent studies have shown that a deficiency of B-6 may impair the immune system.  Studies have also shown that it can help to balance hormones during menopause, relieve water retention, control PMS symptoms and morning sickness in women.

Bioflavonoids are the vitamin P-complex.  Found in many plants but primarily in citrus fruits.

Bisabolol is a natural flavoring usually extracted from the fruit of a tropical tree.

Stevia extract is so beneficial to our bodies that it would require a whole article in itself to describe it. For this article, suffice it to say that stevia adds a great flavor, and it nourishes the pancreas.  It also has been shown to help regulate blood pressure.

Sorbitol is found in most berries, plums, pears, apples, seaweed and algae.  It has a sweet taste.  It also helps make the vitamins and minerals more absorbable.

Glycerin is similar to Sorbitol in that it tastes sweet, aids in the smooth flow of the liquid and is a humectant.

Bromelain is an enzyme extracted from the stem of the pineapple.  It is mainly a proteolytic digesting substance, which means that it breaks down proteins into smaller peptones.  It’s primary benefit is in its ability to aid digestion, ease stomach aches and most importantly, recognize the beneficial proteins which make up normal cells and refrain from attacking them.

Calcium is not only for building and maintain bones and teeth, it is also essential in the body to help regulate the passage of nutrients in and out of the cell walls, to help maintain proper nerve and muscle function, to assist in normal blood clotting, to help heart functions and to work with enzymes.

Potassium is needed for a healthy nervous system and regular heart beat, plus it plays a major role in conjunction with sodium to control water balance.  When there is too much sodium and not enough potassium in the body, sodium enters cells and robs them of water, resulting in edema and high-blood pressure.  Potassium needs magnesium to be present to maintain proper potassium levels in the cells.  It also plays a role in maintaining stable blood pressure, transmitting electrochemical impulses, regulating transfer of nutrients to the cells, metabolizing proteins and carbohydrates and energy production.

Magnesium is responsible for more biochemical reactions in the body than any other mineral.  It acts in concert with calcium and phosphorous to ensure proper metabolism and with potassium, to modify sodium levels in the blood.  It is a major mineral needed by the cells for the production of energy.  It acts as a natural tranquilizer and can help reduce tremors and cramps.  It is a vital enzyme that ensures a properly functioning nervous system.

Zinc is an antioxidant nutrient and is required for protein metabolism and collagen formation.  It is necessary to maintain healthy vitamin A levels and has also been found to be helpful in speeding the healing of cold symptoms by boosting the body’s immune response.

Iron is the mineral responsible for rich, red blood cells.  It produces hemoglobin and oxygenation of the red blood cells.  It is essential in numerous enzyme systems and is required for energy production and a healthy immune system.  It is particularly important for normal growth in children and resistance to disease.

Manganese is an antioxidant nutrient and is important in the breakdown of amino acids and the production of energy.  It is also necessary for the metabolism of vitamin B-1 and vitamin E.  It activates various enzymes which are important for proper digestion and utilization of foods, is a catalyst in the breakdown of fats and cholesterol, helps nourish the nerves and brain, is necessary for normal skeletal development and assists in the maintenance of sex hormone production.

Chromium is necessary for insulin to work in our bodies.  Insulin is not just to control our sugar levels but it is also one of our body’s fundamental metabolic hormones and is involved with weight control, cardiovascular health and muscle growth.  In the presence of chromium, insulin helps the body burn carbohydrates and fats to produce energy and helps convert proteins to muscle tissue.  Athletes and physically active individuals may be at special risk for chromium deficiency.  Research shows that aerobic exercise and training causes significant loss of the body’s chromium reserves.

Selenium is another antioxidant nutrient which protects cell membranes against oxidative destruction by free radicals.  Some surveys have shown that adequate selenium may decrease the risk of breast, colon, lung, and prostate cancer.  It also preserves tissue elasticity and slows down the aging and hardening of tissues through oxidation.

Neem Tree extract is often used as an antiseptic in toothpaste and soap.  Particularly healing to gum tissue, it is one of the ingredients in the SunSmile Toothpaste too!

Other ingredients in VitaSpray not specifically described here, include Lemon Oil, Honey, Luo Han Guo, Winter Melon, Dates, Orange Peel, Bitter Orange, Menthol, Clove Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Grapefruit Extract, Licorice Extract, and Soy Lecithin.  Many of these are flavorings but they also contain vitamin and/or mineral benefits as well.
