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.

There are some big upgrades in MicroVitamin formula version 7.

Dr Brad tweaked the form of Vitamin B6 from Pyridoxine hydrochloride to the bioactive form called PLP. Your body can use this form straight away, without relying on a liver conversion step. It supports neurotransmitter production and homocysteine recycling.

Next, Dr Brad improved the mineral forms. Glycine forms are great because each mineral is bound to the amino acid glycine, letting them ride on amino acid transporters for better absorption while staying gentle on the gut.

Plus glycine itself is a key building block of collagen, it’s a precursor for the antioxidant glutathione, and it supports key metabolic pathways.

Manganese, Zinc, and Boron were already in their glycinate forms in formula 6, so in version 7 Dr Brad completed the switch by moving Chromium, Copper, and Selenium to glycinate forms as well. This lifts bioavailability even further, cuts down on stomach irritation, and helps the minerals reach the enzymes that depend on them.

Dr Brad also changed peppermint leaf powder to a peppermint leaf extract. The extract is standardized for menthol and rosmarinic acid, providing antioxidant support in a smaller dose. 

And of course there are no fillers or binders, and the vegetarian capsule is titanium dioxide free.

MicroVitamin is produced in the USA by an FDA-approved and GMP certified facility, so that you can be assured of its quality.

Given that this is the first manufacturing batch of formula version 7, we were required to show California’s Proposition 65 warning.

Now that we have completed our first batch, and demonstrated with our Certificate of Analysis that this is a high quality product, for future batches we can remove the Prop65 warning.

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.
