Synergy Basic Version 3 has effective amounts of many powerful antioxidants, including alpha lipoic acid (300 mg), green tea extract (200 mg), coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) (100 mg) and quercetin (100 mg) (the major bioflavonoid in our diet). CoQ10 has been shown in many clinical studies to promote cardiovascular health and appears to be important also for neurological health. Synergy Basic has an effective amount of CoQ10 (100 mg) using naturally fermented CoQ10.

Alpha lipoic acid is a powerful "universal" antioxidant that is active in all tissues (water-soluble and fat-soluble). Alpha lipoic acid, chromium (400 mcg as chromium polynicotinate in the highly absorbable form ChromeMate®), and biotin (1,000 mcg) may promote healthy blood glucose by reducing glucose tolerance and decreasing insulin resistance. Alpha lipoic acid may also restore glucose availability in tissues such as the skeletal muscle.

When vitamin C, vitamin E, CoQ10, or alpha lipoic acid neutralize free radicals, they CoQ10 can recycle inactive vitamin C and vitamin E back to active, protective antioxidants. Furthermore, alpha lipoic acid can also recycle inactive vitamin C, vitamin E, CoQ10 and alpha lipoic acid. become inactive. Synergy Basic has the powerful antioxidant trio of resveratrol (ResveraPure®), grape seed extract (ActiVin®) and red wine extract so as to offer some of the health benefits found in red wine. Thus Synergy Basic has a potent antioxidant network that helps keep antioxidants effectively working against free radicals.

Vitamin D3 is important for healthy bones, heart, brain and immune system. Most importantly, optimal intake of vitamin D3 is associated with protection from abnormal cell growth. NSI® scientific advisors recommend an optimal daily intake of approximately 2,000 to 4,000 IU of vitamin D3. Synergy Basic has 2,000 IU of vitamin D3.

Synergy Basic has vitamin C (300 mg) using the non-acidic (easy on the stomach) and longer circulating mineral ascobate complex (Advan-C®). It contains the full spectrum of B vitamins including folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 (in the potent neuroactive form of methylcobalamin) which may decrease homocysteine blood levels. Vitamin E (100 IU), selenium (200 mcg  L-selenomethionine as SeleniumSeLECT®), and the most active, chelated form of zinc (zinc L-methionine as L-OptiZinc®) (30 mg) may boost the immune system. Zinc and selenium are also essential for promoting a healthy prostate.

Lutein is a unique antioxidant that is concentrated in the macula of the retina, where we have our high resolution visual functions, such as reading. Lutein at 6 mg or higher may protect the eyes from free radical damage that leads to vision loss. Synergy Basic includes 6 mg of lutein. The combination of lutein, alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, other antioxidants and zinc may help protect the eyes.
