DETAILS
There are nutritional deficiencies, and then there are nutritional imbalances. Nutritional imbalances can result from an imbalanced diet, or from carelessly formulated multivitamins providing ineffective or harmful forms, doses and ratios. Balance and diversity, comprehensiveness and potency: these have always been the guiding principles behind Ortho Core®, principles that culminated in the development of a truly complete multivitamin. Ortho Core® provides all of the recognized vitamins and minerals in their most effective forms and doses available, topped off with powerful phytonutrients and antioxidants.
A well-designed multivitamin is fundamental to any supplement regimen. Unfortunately, factors such as market trends, the unfortunate tendency toward “one-capsule-a-day” formulas, products that provide equal quantities of different nutrients (that the body requires in different amounts), inappropriate doses and attempts to achieve the longest list of ingredients possible result in multivitamins that may not end up benefiting the consumer’s health. The problem is that to achieve these results, quality is often sacrificed, using ingredients with poor bioavailability or lower quality forms of nutrients, or doses that are inadequate, excessive or imbalanced. Ortho Core® is designed to correct all these common formulation problems while providing some of the most biologically active antioxidants and powerful phytonutrients available.
AOR Advantage
Ortho Core® is built on the principles of orthomolecular nutrition, providing the body with optimal, individualized amounts of nutrients. Ortho Core® offers flexible dosing to suit a range of nutritional needs. While the full recommended serving is 6 capsules daily, many people can benefit from fewer capsules depending on their diet and lifestyle.
