DFH Complete Multi™ with Copper is a full-spectrum multivitamin with Albion chelated minerals for maximum absorption and bioavailability. This powerhouse multivitamin supplies supportive nutrients not normally found in regular multis, such as delta and gamma tocotrienols, TMG, and fruit bioflavanoids. This formula also contains natural mixed carotenoids, a full spectrum of vitamin K forms, and levels of B vitamins based on evolutionary intake of these nutrients, which support healthy cell replication and are higher than RDA/RDI values. This version contains 2 mg of copper as copper glycinate chelate, a stabilized mineral chelate from Albion Minerals that reduces the risk of free copper in the body, which can cause oxidative stress. This multi is iron and iodine free.
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take six capsules per day, two with each meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Functions of copper include:
• Development of immune cells
• Proper metabolism, absorption, and transport of iron
• Formation of collagen -helps to keep skin firm, benefits wound healing
• Energy production – due to its role in iron mobilization, the formation of hemoglobin and RBCs, and in the transport of oxygen throughout the body
• Maintenance of blood vessels
• Melanin formation
• Myelin sheath formation/maintenance
DFH Complete Multi™ with Copper may be beneficial for:
• Copper-deficiency anemia
• Copper deficiencies sometimes seen with gastric bypass patients (copper is absorbed in the duodenum and proximal jejunum, and is poorly absorbed when a significant portion of the proximal small intestine is bypassed)
• Restless Leg Syndrome
• Those on high dose, long-term supplementation of zinc (50 mg/day or more), as this may lead to a deficiency in copper
• Men and postmenopausal women, as these groups are likely to have adequate amounts of iron intake and storage levels
This is a powerhouse multi! Two capsules with each meal is the recommended dosage.
