What Centrum active contains:Centrum active is a scientifically formulated daily multivitamin with elevated levels of B-vitamins#, iron, antioxidants and ginseng to help support a healthy, active body and active mind.The active substances are as follows:2. What Centrum active is used for:Below is a breakdown of the role of the ingredients in Centrum active:B-vitamins for energy and cognitive function:B-vitamins are involved in energy metabolism. They play a well-known and critical role in the metabolic conversion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates to energy. B-vitamins are water-soluble and must be replaced daily. Deficiencies may result in fatigue, malaise and lethargy. Thus, the requirement is linked to energy metabolism and will be increased by factors that increase the rate of energy utilization e.g. exercise.It is also important to note that because the brain is the most metabolically active part of the body requiring a high demand for energy, micronutrients (including B-vitamins like pantothenic acid) are essential for playing a key role in cognitive function as well as energy production.Centrum active has been developed with elevated levels of B-vitamins# to support and replenish the daily needs of individuals that expend extra energy through higher levels of physical activity.Iron for energy, metabolism and cognitive function:Iron is an essential nutrient that functions as a component of a number of proteins, including enzymes and haemoglobin - the latter being important for the transport of oxygen to tissue throughout the body for metabolism. Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and cognitive function.Zinc for cognitive function:Zinc is a vital nutrient for the proper growth and development of the human body and plays a role in normal cognitive function.Antioxidants for mental function/performance and immunity:Antioxidant micronutrients including beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, selenium, zinc and manganese play a key role in helping to neutralise the harmful effects of free radicals. Since the brain undergoes significant free radical damage, replacing antioxidants on a daily basis can play a key role in reducing free radical damage, which has been implicated in cognitive or brain function. Studies have also shown that supplementation with antioxidant micronutrients can play a critical role in maintaining immune competence and enhancing immunity.Vitamins A and C, biotin and beta-carotene for healthy skin:Skin condition and function are affected by environmental factors such as ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, free radicals, toxic/allergic compounds, mechanical damage and also by factors such as genetic predisposition, immune status, hormone status and stress. Consequently, the skin undergoes alterations resulting in photoaging, inflammation, reduced immune function, skin imbalances and skin disorders.Nutrition is important for skin functioning and attractiveness.Optimization of the diet may not only prevent skin disorders but may improve skin condition.The antioxidants vitamin C, E and carotenoids (including beta-carotene) have been effectively used as dietary supplements to protect against sunburn.Vitamin A has an important role in skin health. Layers of cells known as epithelial cells cover all body surfaces. The epithelial tissue on the outside of the body is the skin. Vitamin A helps to maintain the normal structure and function of the epithelial cells found in the skin, lungs, trachea, gastrointestinal tract and other mucous membranes.Biotin is said to contribute to healthy skin, hair and nails.Ginseng for mental function and energy enhancement:Each Centrum active tablet contains 200 mg panax ginseng extract. Current science appears to support a safe and positive, synergistic effect between ginseng and vitamin/mineral supplementation with respect to energy enhancement. Ginseng is said to increase physical performance by increasing oxygen supply (improved muscular oxygen utilisation) and vitality in the body. Studies evaluating effects on energy, stamina and stress suggest that the addition of ginseng to a multivitamin formulation may be more effective in improving one's quality of life when subjected to the stress of high physical and mental activity. Improvements to mental day-to-day functioning, mood and well-being were observed.7.
