What makes the MARCHON™ Methylated Multivitamin different from standard multivitamins?
The MARCHON™ Methylated Multivitamin contains the highest bioavailable forms of vitamins such as Methyl Folate and Methylated Vitamin B12, which do not require conversion by the body for use. It also includes unique ingredients like Ashwagandha KSM-66 and AstraGin® for further benefits such as potential stress relief and improved nutrient absorption and efficacy.
It contains the elemental values for magnesium and zinc and efficacious dosages of trace minerals that are crucial for optimal health.
Why does the MARCHON™ Methylated Multivitamin not contain certain vitamins such as calcium, iron & copper?
This product is not a replacement for a well balanced diet. You should be able to get the required amounts of calcium, iron and copper through your diet alone. Iron supplementation benefits those who suffer from iron deficiency, but may cause harm in those who are not iron-deficient. An excess amount of iron or copper can build up in the body. High amounts of iron might also cause more serious effects, including inflammation of the stomach lining, ulcers and it can also decrease zinc absorption. In addition to this too much calcium can lead to several health issues, including heart problems, digestive issues, kidney damage and Hypercalcemia (REF). The recommended daily intake of calcium is around 1000mg which can be easily achieved through diet alone. Also trying to add this much calcium into the MARCHON™ Mutlivitamin would mean we would have had to remove other nutrients.
What does elemental magnesium and zinc mean?
The elemental value is the actual amount of magnesium you are getting from the amount listed. You will often see 300mg of magnesium. If a label states “Magnesium (as magnesium citrate) 300 mg” it should contain 300mg of actual magnesium. However, if the label says "Magnesium citrate 300mg," this means the entire compound is 300mg. of which only a small percentage is magnesium (in fact, it's only 11.2% in magnesium citrate).
To assess the efficiency of a supplement, we need to pay attention to its absorbability by our body. Same serving size of Magnesium oxide contains more elemental magnesium but is poorly absorbed, at only 4% (i.e. if you ingest 1350mg of magnesium oxide, you are consuming 675 mg of elemental magnesium, of which only 27mg is absorbable by your body).
On the other hand, while Magnesium Bisglycinate contains lower ratio of elemental magnesium, it is readily absorbed by our body at the rate of 80%. Therefore, even though 1350mg of Magnesium Glycinate only contains 190mg elemental magnesium, your body actually absorbs 152g of magnesium.
In the MARCHON™ Mutlivitamin we have 200mg of elemental magnesium at a rate of 80% absorption which is one of the highest amounts in any mutlivitamin on the market.
What are the benefits of Magnesium Bisglycinate over other forms of magnesium?
Magnesium Bisglycinate is one of the most bioavailable and absorbable forms of magnesium, and also the least likely to induce diarrhea. It is the safest option for correcting a long-term deficiency. Magnesium bisglycinate is the magnesium salt of glycine (a non-essential amino acid). In addition to this, the chelated structure of magnesium bisglycinate, where magnesium is bound to two glycine molecules, makes it more stable, easily digestible, and gentler on the stomach.
How does AstraGin® work in this methylated multivitamin formula?
AstraGin® is a natural compound that enhances the absorption of essential nutrients like amino acids and vitamins across the intestinal barrier, which may increase the multivitamin’s overall effectiveness. It also helps in repairing damaged intestinal walls and may reduce gut inflammation.
Can MARCHON™ Methylated Multivitamin help with stress and cognitive function?
Our methylated multivitamin contains Ashwagandha KSM-66, known for its potential to reduce stress and anxiety and improve cognitive functions and memory. The KSM-66 form of ashwagandha is created with a specialist extraction method from only the root, making it the most highly concentrated form available.
What are the benefits of the methylated forms of folate and vitamin B12 in this methylated multivitamin?
The methylated forms of folate and vitamin B12 are highly bioavailable, meaning they can be readily absorbed and utilised by the body without needing conversion. This is especially beneficial for individuals with genetic mutations that affect folic acid metabolism.
What does this methylated multivitamin offer for immune health and metabolism?
The multivitamin may support immune function and metabolic processes through its content of Vitamin C, Zinc Citrate, and a Vitamin B Complex. These components may help maintain a healthy immune system and support natural energy production essential for metabolism.
Can I stack this with other MARCHON™ products?
Absolutely. We haven’t included vitamin D or K in this product as you require larger amounts of this to reap the benefits, so stacking alongside the Vitamin D&K spray would be great.
Also with the level of magnesium in the MARCHON™ Mutlivitamin you do not need to be concerned if you are taking the Performance Hydration as this will still bring you just under the RDA. Alongside your diet you will be able to get the required amount of daily magnesium without the issue of taking too much. There are no nutrient interactions that will occur with any of the other products.
