Multi-vitamin and mineral nutritional supplements

a multi-vitamin and mineral technology, applied in the field of nutritional supplements, can solve the problems of affecting the efficiency of herbal/natural product compositions for reducing cholesterol, affecting the absorption of vitamins, and affecting the absorption of minerals, so as to facilitate the absorption of cholesterol and/or absorption of homocysteine, and protect against nutritional losses and deficiencies

Benefits of technology

[0008] The present invention provides a nutritional supplement which facilitates providing an adequate intake of vitamins, minerals and other micro-nutrients desirable for disease prevention, protection against nutritional losses and deficiencies due to inadequate dietary intake patterns and life style factors and provides micro-nutrients to facilitate reduction of cholesterol, and / or reduction of homocysteine, and / or reduction of LDL cholesterol in humans. The invention also provides a method of preparing an efficacious dosage of the nutritional supplement in a practical dosage form and a method for reducing cholesterol levels and / or LDL cholesterol and / or homocystine in humans.

Problems solved by technology

Food is typically the primary source of obtaining the necessary nutrients; however, the majority of people do not eat foods that consistently provide the necessary daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.
While many medications are available for treating this problem, most of the common medications require doctor's supervision for use and are relatively expensive.
However, the efficiency of these herbal / natural product compositions for reducing cholesterol is questionable as they typically contain 20 to 50 mg of phytosterol per dose.
