MicroVitamin

Please keep your MicroVitamin pills in their original bottle. The Choline, TMG, and Hyaluronic Acid in the formula are hygroscopic, meaning they attract moisture. Keeping the pills in their airtight container helps prevent them from swelling.

Several key improvements have been made to the MicroVitamin formula to enhance its effectiveness and purity. Here’s what’s new:

1. Moved from Clear Capsules to White Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂)‑Free Capsules:

• What Changed?
  We replaced our completely transparent capsules—which contained no colorants—with naturally white capsules that use calcium carbonate instead of titanium dioxide.
• Why It Matters:
  Titanium dioxide has been flagged for potential long-term safety concerns. By By not using it, we’ve addressed potential safety questions and ensured compliance with evolving global guidelines.

2. Added Lutein & Lycopene:

• What Changed?
  Lutein and lycopene have been introduced to align with the supplement used in the COSMOS trials.
• Why It Matters:
  Both are potent antioxidants that may support eye health, skin health, and cognitive performance.

3. Adjusted Key Nutrient Levels:

(Potassium, Vitamin D, Nicotinamide, Selenium)

• What Changed?
  We slightly tweaked the amounts of these nutrients to reflect the latest evidence on optimal dosing.
• Why It Matters:
  These targeted adjustments help maintain a balanced formula that provides effective support without excessive dosing.

4. Added Peppermint Leaf Powder:

• What Changed?
  A small amount of peppermint leaf powder has been included in the formula.
• Why It Matters:
  Peppermint leaf is known for its digestive soothing properties.

5. Changed Boron Form to Boron Glycinate:

• What Changed?
  We’ve switched from a previous boron source to boron glycinate.
• Why It Matters:
  Boron glycinate is typically better absorbed and well‑tolerated, ensuring optimal delivery of this important trace mineral.

6. Changed Zinc Form to Zinc Glycinate:

• What Changed?
  Zinc citrate has been replaced with zinc glycinate.
• Why It Matters:
  Glycinate forms often show higher bioavailability, meaning your body can absorb more of the active mineral with less chance of stomach upset.

You might notice that MicroVitamin pills have a distinctive scent. This is completely normal and is due to the organic form of selenium we use, known as selenomethionine.

Selenomethionine contains methionine, a sulfur-rich natural amino acid also found in foods known for their pungent aroma, like eggs, garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables.

This characteristic smell is a sign of the high-quality, organic selenium we incorporate for its health benefits, ensuring you're getting the most effective form of this essential mineral.

To deliver the full spectrum of nutrients in effective doses, multiple pills per serving are essential.

Take Magnesium Taurate, for example. It comprises only 8% elemental magnesium.

To achieve the 126mg of elemental magnesium we aim for in MicroVitamin, we need to include over 1500mg of Magnesium Taurate alone.

This scenario is just one of many that highlight the necessity of multiple pills to encompass all the beneficial ingredients in their optimal dosages.

MicroVitamin is not available for purchase in New Zealand.

As a practicing medical doctor in New Zealand, I adhere to the guidelines set by the New Zealand Medical Council, which include strict rules to prevent any potential conflicts of interest for doctors in relation to supplement sales.

This is a policy I fully support, as it upholds the integrity and trust in the medical profession.

In designing MicroVitamin, Dr Brad decided against including Vitamin A or E based on research suggesting potential risks. Specifically, studies indicate that supplements containing beta-carotene, vitamin E, or high doses of vitamin A may be associated with an increased risk of mortality.
