VITA-LEA
GOLD

The culmination of more than 90 years of nutritional experience and breaking clinical
and scientific research,Vita-Lea Gold is a carefully designed multivitamin/multimineral
that contains 23 essential nutrients at clinically proven levels. This scientifically advanced
formula addresses four key health concerns for people 50+ - longevity, bone health,
vision, and energy:Vita-Lea Gold provides:

• N-acetylcysteine, a form of the amino acid cysteine, which offers protection from
free radical damage, a potential cause of premature aging*
• More bone-building nutrients to preserve bone integrity, including:**
2 times the calcium**
2 times the vitamin D**
4 times the vitamin K**
6 times the boron**
• More beta carotene, a biopotent form of vitamin A that plays an important role in
vision, helps regulate the immune system, and protects cells from free radical
damage**
• Five key nutrients clinically proven to protect vision health
• 10 times the biotin, a catalyst for energy production**
• A healthy combination of the B vitamins to address changing needs as we age
THE SHAKLEE
DIFFERENCE


• Vita-Lea Gold is the only multivitamin for people 50+ with N-acetylcysteine, an
amino acid cysteine associated with repairing and maintaining cell integrity.
• Vita-Lea Gold is the only multi for people 50+ that gives you a choice of formulas:
with vitamin K for its bone-building benefits, or without vitamin K for those taking a
blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant)
• The patented Bioactivated Absorption SystemTM in Vita-Lea Gold allows increased
absorption of folic acid, which supports healthy DNA replication and
compensates for slower absorption rates of nutrients as we age.
• Vita-Lea Gold undergoes 349 of the most stringent quality tests for purity and potency
• Star-K kosher certified

VITA-LEA GOLD

• The nutrients in Vita-Lea Gold have been shown to support the immune system in
a clinical study with healthy elderly participants.* These studies demonstrate that
inadequate micronutrient intakes are associated with poorer immune responses.
Studies also show that consumption of a multivitamin can help support immunity in
the elderly, even though immune function tends to decline with age.***
• A number of essential nutrients are needed for normal visual function, and vitamins
A, C, E, and zinc are among those most important. Several studies have observed
that long-term intake of multivitamin supplements with these nutrients is linked to
retaining ocular health. Antioxidant nutrients such as C, E, and zinc are believed to
play a role in fighting UV-induced free radical damage of the proteins in the eye's
lens and retina.*
