During the teenage years, the body develops and grows dramatically and requires higher levels of energy, protein, calcium, zinc and iron, plus many other nutrients, to sustain these rapid spurts of growth. Unfortunately the teenage years are also a time when a passion for junk food can threaten the nutritional adequacy of the diet.

Lamberts� A-Z Multi has an excellent spread of nutrients making it an ideal choice for those 13 years and upwards, especially those at college whose diets may be based on junk food with little fresh fruit and vegetables.

This one-a-day formula provides all of the most important micronutrients, many at 100% of the RDA.

FOR ATHLETES!

Megavit is our highest potency multivitamin formula and is formulated for people who make high physical or mental demands on themselves, such as athletes. The antioxidant vitamins A, C and E are included at high levels because of their free radical scavenging properties, also the B vitamins, needed for energy release. Ideally Megavit should be taken with a multimineral formula such as Mega-Mineral (product 744) for a full supplement regime.

Recommended daily intake: 2 tablets

Multi-Max is one of the best high strength multis available for the over 50's in the UK.

The nutrient levels far exceed those of High Street multis especially the B vitamins.

This makes Multi-Max an excellent 'get-up-and-go' formula which is particularly useful for periods of recovery and for when your appetite and energy are at a low ebb.

It is also the minerals that separates it from other multis. No other product offers such comprehensive levels of selenium, zinc, chromium and iodine. All you need to add is Osteoguard (for extra calcium and magnesium) to create a high-powered supplement regime.

Recommended daily intake: 1 tablet

Multi-Max has been one of the UK's top selling multis for many years and it was a challenge to improve a product whose popularity was based on its potency and effectiveness.

But nutrition science moves on, and sometimes it uncovers 'new' nutrients that offer significant health protective benefits.

Three of these; lutein, turmeric and green tea have recently received so much positive support from scientists that we decided they should be included in the NEW Multi-Max Advance.

* Lutein - shown to help protect the macular of the eye from the effects of ageing

* Green Tea - for its antioxidant activity

* Turmeric - researchers around the world have identified this spice as the ingredient in eastern diets that may offer protection from bowel problems

Do not take if pregnant or breast feeding.

Recommended daily intake: 1 tablet

Gynovite Plus is formulated by Dr. Guy Abraham for women during and after the menopause. It contains those nutrients believed by nutritionists to be important in maintaining bone health. In particular calcium, magnesium, vitamins D and C. The formula does not over emphasise calcium since Dr. Abraham has found that magnesium is just as essential for bone health and is often more likely to be deficient if the diet is not well balanced. Adequate magnesium helps the absorption of calcium anyway, so less calcium is needed in the supplement.

Recommended daily intake: 2-3 tablets

Multi-guard is our best selling multi formula as it contains a wide spectrum of nutrients at potencies that suit most situations.

Compared with High Street products, Multi-Guard is high potency, but the nutrient levels are, we believe, what a good multi should supply Nutritionists often use Multi-guard as a good 'all-rounder' and if extra calcium and magnesium is needed then Osteoguard is a good choice.

Not suitable for children under the age of sixteen

The main antioxidants, such as selenium, and the vitamins A, C and E were assumed to be the main weapons with which our bodies fight ‘free radicals’. New research has shown there to be equally powerful antioxidants in plant materials such as grapeseed, green tea and rosemary and these are combined in Betasec™. We’ve combined effective levels of the standard antioxidant nutrients, plus some of the best sources of natural plant antioxidants, all presented in a concentrated extract form.

Healthy hair is an outward sign of inner health. Our MaxiHair formula is ideal for those people who are concerned that their diet may not be as good as it could be. It contains a good spread of nutrients which means that there is no need to take another multi whilst taking MaxiHair.

Good nutrition is important in children, particularly in periods of rapid growth or when the child expends a lot of energy on sports and other activities. However, achieving a balanced diet for children is not always easy.

Playfair™ remains one of the best children’s formulas available in the UK. Some High Street brands provide only vitamins and one or two minerals. Our product provides useful levels of all the important vitamins and trace minerals.

These pleasant tasting chews are also sugar free and are therefore unlikely to contribute to tooth decay.
