METABALANCE 44 – Complete Vitamin and Mineral Supplement
1.	Description   (Not available in Canada)
	Metabalance 44 is designed for people who take vitamins and minerals every day.  It is excellent for during pregnancy.  The Chens developed Metabalance 44 after years of intensive research.  Metabalance 44 provides a complete combination of the known and needed nutrients, including 12 macro minerals, 6 trace minerals, 8 special purpose food elements, 10 high-nutrient foods, and is enzyme rich!  Dr. Chen added whole foods because they contribute to the activity of the isolated vitamins and minerals and provide overall balance.  For example, wheat germ oil, flaxseed meal, and rice bran stabilize the fat-soluble vitamins.  Without these food oils as a base, the vitamins tend to break down before they can be used.  They are also highly beneficial in their own right; for example, wheat germ oil has an abundance of the entire Vitamin E complex.  Flaxseed is an outstanding source of omega-3 essential fatty acids.  And rice bran contains a wide range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids, including over 70 antioxidants.  Other whole foods include rose hips (for Vitamin C), kelp (for iodine), bee pollen, beet root powder, alfalfa, and parsley (all of which contain numerous vitamins and trace minerals).
