2 Get more out of life with Cooper Complete multivitamins and supplements. Supplementation is one of eight steps to Get Cooperized healthy habits for living better now and later. Maintain a healthy weight Eat healthy most of the time Exercise most days of the week Take the right supplements for you Do not use tobacco Control alcohol Manage stress Get a regularly scheduled, comprehensive physical exam Developed by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper and based on scientific research, Cooper Complete nutritional supplements are formulated for optimal health. When science evolves, our formulas evolve, too. All of our products are regularly reviewed by physicians, researchers and registered dietitian nutritionists to ensure they are current with the latest scientific findings. What s more, all of our products are designed to be taken safely in conjunction with each other. It is our goal now and always to provide supplements that help you live better today, tomorrow and for years to come.

3 Multivitamins for YOU ARE YOU ACHIEVING OPTIMAL HEALTH EVERY DAY THROUGH DIET AND EXERCISE? Even with the best intentions, we sometimes fall short. A daily multivitamin can supplement the essential nutrients you need. Cooper Complete multivitamin and mineral formulations are scientifically proven to provide the nutrients a healthy woman needs. Among many health benefits, clinical research shows Cooper Complete multivitamins lower high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation in the body connected to heart disease, diabetes and autoimmune diseases. Which multivitamin is best for you? With Iron: Research shows that women in their childbearing years need supplemental iron as deficiencies are common. Iron Free: For post-menopausal women, the Iron Free formulations are typically recommended but can be dependent upon health circumstances and physician recommendations. SCIENCE BASED. TRUSTED RESOURCE. An added layer of protection for your heart as well as your bones, Cooper Complete multivitamins contain 2,000 IU vitamin D-3, Cooper Clinic s baseline recommendation for optimal health. We offer two multivitamin options: Cooper Complete Original is our most comprehensive multivitamin and mineral supplement. It is recommended for women who want both the best and the highest level of supplementation. The daily serving is four tablets twice daily with meals or eight tablets per day. Cooper Complete Basic One is a one-tablet-per-day multivitamin and mineral formulation developed to provide the best possible supplementation for women who want one-tablet-per-day convenience. Both Cooper Complete Original and Basic One formulations are available With Iron and Iron Free.

4 Supplements for YOU DO YOU EAT AT LEAST 2 SERVINGS OF SALMON, TROUT OR SARDINES EACH WEEK? If not, Cooper Complete Advanced Omega-3 has you covered. Proven by thousands of research studies, omega-3 fish oil benefits you head to toe. Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids supports a healthy heart and brain function. Lowers triglycerides Builds stronger blood vessel walls Slows the progression of plaque build-up in the arteries Lowers depression Lowers overall risk of death DO YOU TAKE A STATIN? To help reduce muscle pain and fatigue, take Cooper Complete CoQ10 daily. While statin drugs help keep cholesterol in a healthy range, approximately 20 percent of women on statins suffer side effects such as muscle pain. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) may reduce muscle pain with or without muscle weakness and fatigue associated with taking statin medications. Cooper Complete CoQ10 Ubiquinol is available in 50 mg and 100 mg. INTERESTED IN YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN, BEAUTIFUL HAIR AND NAILS? Look no further than Cooper Complete Dermatologic Health. Developed by Cooper Clinic board-certified dermatologists, Cooper Complete Dermatologic Health can help: Prevent skin damage Slow signs of aging Filter blue light emitted from electronics Improve skin elasticity and hydration Strengthen nails and improve nail growth Improve hair health and growth Reduce skin cancer risk This supplement is not meant to be used in place of sun protective measures such as broad spectrum sunscreen, and should be taken in conjunction with other key daily vitamin supplements.

5 Supplements for YOU ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH CALCIUM IN YOUR DAILY DIET? For strong bones, proper levels of calcium, along with weight bearing exercise, are a must. While Cooper Clinic recommends calcium consumption through food, it is oftentimes difficult to consistently reach this optimal level. When diet alone is not enough, augment with Cooper Complete Calcium Citrate. Each tablet provides 250 mg calcium citrate. Based on your age, Cooper Clinic recommends the following daily calcium intake. Women up to age 51: 1,000 mg of calcium daily Women 51 and older: 1,200 mg of calcium daily DO YOU SPEND AT LEAST 20 MINUTES IN THE SUN EACH DAY? If not, Cooper Complete Vitamin D-3 is the right choice for you. Long known as the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D is actually a pro-hormone, meaning a substance that is converted into a hormone in our bodies after exposure to UV radiation from the sun. Vitamin D is essential for bone health, and emerging data is showing its beneficial effects on heart health. In 2014, a British Medical Journal article reported individuals with low levels of D: Are 35 percent more likely to die of heart disease Have a 14 percent greater likelihood of death from cancer Have a greater mortality risk overall A simple blood test can determine whether or not you need vitamin D supplementation above the 2,000 IU in Cooper Complete multivitamins.
