ADEK Essentials 60 capsules

Clinical Benefits

• Taking some fat soluble vitamins together can optimise their efficacy, for example, when vitamin A and D are taken together, the expression of the RAR, VDR and RXR receptors and osteocalcin gene transcription are optimised. ³ This is likely because RXR is the main partner receptor for the vitamin A RAR and the vitamin D VDR receptors.³
• Fat soluble vitamin intake can be compromised.¹ For example, up to 73% of Australians have insufficient vitamin D levels ⁴ Vitamin D from food sources is less biologically active and in insignificant amounts in most foods.¹
• Vitamins A, D and K are essential for bone health.² Vitamin A regulates the proliferation, differentiation and gene expression of chondrocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts which express the RXR receptor, shared by vitamin D. ^5, 3 Both of these vitamins stimulate gene transcription of osteocalcin which binds calcium to new bone.^{6, 7} Vitamin K helps in the transport of calcium. ⁸
• A range of nutrient forms for improved efficacy. ADEK Essentials contains 2500 IU of vitamin A and the equivalent amount of betacarotene.⁹ ADEK Essentials also contains all eight isomers of vitamin E found in nature, including four tocopherols and four tocotrienols (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-). ¹⁰
