Every day base, 60 tablets

The Multivitamin Base for Every Day

The formulation of Jeden Tag Basis was recently adjusted based on new research findings, current data from the national nutrition monitoring (NEMONIT) and new legislation. As a result, the amounts of certain vitamins and minerals were changed; vitamin B6 and manganese are no longer included.

Jeden Tag Basis is a carefully developed multivitamin supplement intended specifically as a basic supplement for young, healthy individuals. As with all products in the Jeden Tag range, attention has been paid to the use of well-absorbable substances, appropriate combinations and responsibly balanced amounts. When determining the quantity of each nutrient, the average intake among adolescents and young adults as well as the estimated daily requirement were taken into account to provide the best possible support for health. Up-to-date information and the latest scientific findings were used for this purpose.

Jeden Tag Basis contains only vitamins and minerals, without additional additives. Because this multivitamin supplement does not contain vitamin B6, it is also suitable for people who wish to avoid vitamin B6 supplements for certain reasons. The amount of iodine has been deliberately kept low to accommodate people who wish to limit their iodine intake.

B vitamins in Jeden Tag Basis

Jeden Tag Basis contains appropriate amounts of B vitamins. The active (coenzymatic) forms of vitamin B2 (sodium riboflavin-5’-phosphate), B12 (methyl- and adenosylcobalamin) and folate (5-methyltetrahydrofolate glucosamine salt) are used. These are exactly the forms the body can process.

Very high dose choline (VitaCholine®)

Choline has long been a component of multivitamin supplements but was usually added only in small amounts (10–30 mg). That was because little was then known about its importance to the body and the amount needed. New research results have greatly increased our knowledge of this important micronutrient.

In 2012 the European Commission authorised three health claims for choline when at least 82.5 mg per day is consumed. Choline helps the body to process fats and homocysteine normally and to maintain liver function.

The EFSA in 2016 classified choline as an important nutrient and set a daily requirement of 400 mg for adults, based on the typical European intake. In the USA a daily intake of 550 mg is recommended, supported by human studies. As the average choline intake in Europe ranges between 290 and 470 mg per day, many adults do not consume enough choline. This underlines the need to include choline in an appropriate amount in daily multivitamin supplements. The Jeden Tag multivitamins use VitaCholine®, a high-quality and well-researched form of choline.

Plenty of plant-derived vitamin D3

European authorities recommend a daily vitamin D intake of 15 μg from the diet. However, there are increasing signs that larger amounts would be better. Therefore Jeden Tag Basis contains a generous 20 μg per tablet. This vitamin D3 (Vitamin D3V®) comes from plants, not sheep’s wool, and is therefore also suitable for vegans.

Vitamin K1 and K2: related but not interchangeable

The recommended amounts of vitamin K only refer to what is needed for blood clotting. They do not consider how much vitamin K would be ideal for other bodily functions. Nor do these recommendations distinguish between vitamin K1 and K2, even though research is increasingly paying attention to this.

The Jeden Tag multivitamins contain both types of vitamin K. Vitamin K1 is largely taken up by the liver and is mainly responsible for activating clotting factors in the liver. Vitamin K2 (especially as menaquinone-7) remains in the body longer, distributes better into tissues and can therefore better activate vitamin-K-dependent proteins outside the liver, such as osteocalcin and MGP. These proteins are important for ensuring that calcium is deposited correctly in the body, namely in the bones. Healthy bones become increasingly important with age.

Jeden Tag Basis contains 30 μg vitamin K1 (phytomenadione) and 60 μg vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), which is the superior form.

K2VITAL™ DELTA: A particularly stable form of vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 is sensitive. Especially when combined with calcium and/or magnesium in tablets or capsules, its amount can decline sharply. It is difficult to use vitamin K2 in products that contain high levels of these minerals. For this reason Vitals uses the special active ingredient K2VITAL™ DELTA, which remains stable even in products with many minerals.

K2VITAL™ DELTA is produced by a special process in which the fat-soluble K2 particles are coated with two layers to protect them from other ingredients. Vitals had the stability of K2VITAL™ DELTA tested by an independent laboratory. It proved to be the most stable among various vitamin K2 products.

Natural calcium and magnesium from the sea

Aquamin® magnesium from Irish sea water and Aquamin® calcium from red algae (Lithothamnion sp) are used. These algae take up minerals and trace elements from the seawater and store them. Living red algae are red-pink, but when they die they become calcified and turn white or light grey.

Aquamin® contains a relatively high proportion of calcium (32%) and magnesium (35%) compared with other calcium and magnesium products. This makes it possible to include effective amounts even in very full multivitamin supplements without impairing absorption by the body. The effective uptake of calcium and magnesium from Aquamin® has been scientifically demonstrated. It is conceivable that the small natural amounts of other minerals and trace elements present also contribute.

Iron, zinc and copper are present as amino acid chelates (bisglycinates)

Each mineral ion is firmly bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This form reaches the small intestine well and is very effectively absorbed by the body. In addition, these minerals are particularly well tolerated by the stomach, which is especially important for iron. Vitals deliberately uses amino acid chelates from Albion® Minerals that bear the TRAACS® seal, which stands for The Real Amino Acid Chelate System. This quality seal clearly distinguishes them from potentially inferior, unstable chelates.
