1 Choose Quality. Choose Carlson. Vitamins A-K A Nutritional Guide

2 We receive vitamins from the foods we eat daily, and each of these vitamins is essential in keeping the body healthy and mind alert. Without these vitamins, our body cannot carry out its necessary chemical processes, which can lead to fatigue; poor skin, teeth, and bones; and even serious illness. If you are unable to get the recommended dose of vitamins in your diet, Carlson offers high-quality, researched formulas in a variety of forms and strengths to meet your unique nutritional needs.

4 Vitamin A Vitamin A Supports: 4 Healthy skin* 4 Vision* 4 Bones* 4 Immune system* Vitamin A is important to many body functions, including maintaining proper vision. When the body is vitamin A-deficient, the eye gradually loses its ability to adapt to light changes resulting in night blindness. Another vital role of vitamin A is the formation, maintenance, and growth of skin, which forms the body s first line of defense.* Vitamin A is available in two forms: preformed vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) and provitamin A (beta-carotene from fruits and vegetables), which converts to vitamin A after absorption.

10 Vitamin C Vitamin C 4 Supports healthy immune system function* Vitamin C is essential to human health and well-being. It plays an important nutritional role in the body s natural defense system and is needed for proper healing. Vitamin C is also necessary for collagen formation, an intercellularcementing substance required to build and maintain supportive tissue, such as bones, cartilage, and blood vessels.* Smokers and people under acute stress may have lower levels of vitamin C in their blood. Vitamin C is generally recognized as ascorbic acid. Calcium ascorbate is another form of vitamin C, which not only provides calcium, but is naturally gentler on the stomach. Carlson uses very pure vitamin C. No allergy-causing residues or protein impurities from the original source are present, and no corn-derived substances are used in manufacturing.

13 Vitamin D Natural Vitamin D3 Supports and Promotes: 4 Healthy immune system function* 4 Healthy cardiovascular system function* 4 Bone health* 4 Calcium absorption* Vitamin D affects many aspects of our health, including its role in assisting calcium metabolism. Higher blood concentrations of vitamin D are associated with strong bones and good health.* Our bodies can make vitamin D, but only when we are exposed to sunlight under proper conditions. Many of us don t produce enough vitamin D due to the clothing we wear, the sunscreen we use, and the lack of time spent in the sun during certain seasons of the year.* For these reasons, supplemental vitamin D is important for many of us. Carlson offers vitamin D3 in many strengths, so you can be sure to receive just the dose you need. Current Dietary Reference Intakes by the Institute of Medicine range from 200 to 600 IU per day, depending on age. The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for infants and children is 400 IU. The upper limit for adults now is 2,000 IU per day, but because vitamin D is vital for many body functions, some researchers have called for an increase in the Recommended Daily Intake.* Vitamin D3 These small, easy-to-swallow vitamin D soft gels are available in six potencies, and are natural-source vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). 400 IU 100 Soft Gels Soft Gels ,000 IU 100 Soft Gels Soft Gels ,000 IU 120 Soft Gels Soft Gels ,000 IU 120 Soft Gels Soft Gels ,000 IU 120 Soft Gels Soft Gels ,000 IU 120 Soft Gels Soft Gels 1423 (1) Vieth, R.

Researchers continue investigating vitamin D for its important role in promoting calcium absorption for both children and adults. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children, beginning as infants, supplement daily with 400 IU of vitamin D 3. Higher concentrations of vitamin D in the blood are associated with strong bones and good health.* Vitamin D has more functions and health benefits than formerly realized, such as promoting muscle strength and supporting a healthy immune system and mood.* Unfortunately, most people don t get enough vitamin D. Although synthesized by the body through sun exposure, we often don t produce adequate amounts due to clothing and sunscreen.

16 Vitamin E Carlson all Natural-Source Vitamin E is Twice as Active in our Bodies as Synthetic Vitamin E E4 Promotes a healthy cardiovascular system* 4 Necessary for proper immune system function* 4 Protects cell membranes by preventing free radical damage* Since its discovery, vitamin E has gained the interest of scientists and health professionals worldwide. Fifty years of medical research shows it is one of the most active antioxidant nutrients, with many proven health benefits.* Because of this, many choose to take a high-quality, natural-source vitamin E supplement. The amount of vitamin E shown to be effective in clinical studies is not readily obtainable, even from a well-balanced diet. Additionally, this important nutrient cannot be manufactured by the body. Carlson natural-source vitamin E is derived from soybean oil, a food source. Synthetic vitamin E is produced from turpentine or petroleum products. Research shows natural-source vitamin E is retained in the body much longer than synthetic vitamin E, and it produces higher vitamin E levels in the brain, heart, lungs, blood cells, and more.* How to Recognize Natural Vitamin E Natural vitamin E is stated as: d- rrr-alpha tocopherol d-alpha tocopherol d-alpha tocopheryl acetate d-alpha tocopheryl succinate Synthetic vitamin E is stated as: dlall-rac alpha tocopherol dl-alpha tocopherol dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate dl-alpha tocopheryl succinate Alpha Tocopherol (or Alpha Tocopheryl) is the recognized term for Vitamin E. Acetate form is an oil Succinate is dry Most vitamin E compounds in their raw state are oils, except vitamin E succinate, which is a powder. **Acetate and succinate are important organic molecules within our bodies involved in numerous biochemical reactions. For example, acetate is an important part of acetylcholine, the neural transmitter required by every nerve cell in our bodies to transmit impulses. Moreover, acetate and succinate are found in energy-producing reactions in every cell. Vinegar contains acetic acid, a form of acetate. Succinate is like two acetic or acetate molecules back-to-back. 14

17 Vitamin E The Recommended Vitamin E Carries the Best Guarantee Don t Be Fooled By Part-Natural Vitamin E Unfortunately, some brands of vitamin E are mislabeled. Some products claim to contain natural vitamin E when, in fact, they only contain 5% to 10% natural vitamin E blended with synthetic vitamin E. Tested Quality At Carlson Laboratories we not only promise quality, we GUARANTEE it. Since our beginning, every batch of vitamin E product has been assayed for potency and source by an independent testing firm registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as following Good Laboratory Practices. The Recommended Vitamin E Physicians and health-care professionals recommend Carlson vitamin E knowing their patients will receive only the highest quality of 100% natural vitamin E with the full potency guaranteed on the label. E Gems Natural Vitamin E E-Gems are golden gelatin gems containing concentrated natural-source vitamin E oil, (d-alpha tocopheryl acetate).

18 Vitamin E A Personal Word about Vitamin E by Susan Carlson Founder of Carlson Laboratories Registered Pharmacist RPH Licensed Nutrition Counselor NC Over 50 years ago, the Carlson family was introduced to vitamin E through Dr. Evan Shute of the Shute Institute in Canada. The results we observed when using vitamin E were exceptional, yet we noticed even at that early stage there were significant differences obtained when using natural vitamin E as compared to synthetic vitamin E. We also experienced differences between the forms and brands of vitamin E. When Carlson Laboratories became a reality, we were determined to offer only the highest quality vitamin E, which would consistently provide good results. We were convinced then, as now, that natural vitamin E is superior to synthetic, so ALL Carlson vitamin E supplements, since our beginning, have been only 100% natural-source vitamin E. Medical research continues to help us gain further understanding of the actions of vitamin E in the body. Professional journals worldwide now report on hundreds of studies done each year with vitamin E. Dr. Graham Burton, associated with the National Research Council of Canada, studied the body s response to natural vitamin E compared to synthetic vitamin E. This study strongly indicates the body prefers natural vitamin E to synthetic vitamin E. Here are some of the results: times by the brain* times by the red blood cells* times by the lungs* times by the heart* times by the muscles* This published study measured the proportion of natural and synthetic vitamin E in various organs, tissues, and fluids of experimental animals given equal doses of both types of vitamin E. The preference was then confirmed by measurement of vitamin E in blood and plasma from human subjects. This study was based on equal milligram amounts, not IU amounts, which tries to correct for some of the differences observed. A study by Dr. Ed Desaulniers of the Shute Medical Clinic shows vitamin E is absorbed by the body much better when taken at mealtime rather than on an empty stomach. 16

19 Vitamin E Several other studies show vitamin E is an important antioxidant nutrient in protecting our body cells from harmful substances called free radicals.* Excessive free radicals can come from various sources, including air pollution, cigarette smoke, radiation, strenuous exercise, and even the body s metabolic processes. Prominent new studies printed in medical journals show vitamin E plays an important nutritional role in maintaining normal heart health.* Medical groups, who previously advised against vitamin E supplementation, have now reversed their stand, such as the Johns Hopkins Medical Letter. At Carlson Laboratories, we remain dedicated to natural vitamin E and staying current with new developments. We specialize in only 100% natural-source vitamin E and that is the way it has been since our beginning. E Gems Plus Alpha and Mixed Tocopherols E-Gems Plus provides vitamin E derived from soybean oil, supplying d-alpha tocopherol, as well as other natural tocopherols, in soft gelatin capsules. Independent assay results of E-Gems Plus show a full 200 IU or 400 IU of vitamin E in the form of d-alpha tocopherol, natural and not esterified. Natural non-alpha tocopherols are also present, including d-beta, d-delta, and d-gamma tocopherols in significant amounts. 200 IU 100 Soft Gels Soft Gels IU 50 Soft Gels Soft Gels Soft Gels Soft Gels 0442 Gamma E Gems Gamma Tocopherol 465 mg Gamma tocopherol is an active antioxidant and one of four tocopherols in the vitamin E family.

22 Vitamin K Benefits of Vitamin K 2 4 Supports healthy cardiovascular system function* 4 Promotes healthy blood flow by maintaining vascular elasticity* 4 Helps build and maintain strong bones* 4 Promotes healthy bone and teeth calcification* What is Vitamin K Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin group that includes vitamins K1 and K2. Vitamin K1 is synthesized by plants, and vitamin K2 is produced mainly by humans and animals but also by bacteria found in the large intestine. The K in vitamin K is derived from the German word koagulation, or blood clots. Vitamin K helps produce the proteins that play an important role in the body s normal blood clotting process and also supports cell growth and bone and tissue metabolism. There are two naturally-occurring types of vitamin K: Vitamin K 1 Vitamin K 2 is found primarily in green, leafy vegetables and is the most abundant form of vitamin K in the diet. The human body converts the majority of vitamin K1 into vitamin K2. is less abundant than K1 in the typical diet. It is most commonly found in the forms MK-4 (menatetrenone; found in animal products) and MK-7 (menaquinone-7, found in fermented soybeans). 20

23 Vitamin K Are you getting enough Vitamin K 2? Research suggests vitamin K is beneficial for many people, including those who lack a diet rich in green, leafy vegetables; consume mineral oil for constipation; or have had the gallbladder or a portion of the gastrointestinal tract surgically removed, which interferes with fat absorption, including fat-soluble vitamin K. Vitamin K 2 MK-4 (Menatetrenone) High-potency vitamin K 2 MK-4 is created through chemical synthesis and promotes a healthy cardiovascular system and bone and cartilage strength.
