What is MultiFood?

MultiFood provides your body with a natural balance of nutrients. Not just the vitamins and minerals; but also the included phytonutrients, polyphenols and other plant-based nutrients that are missing in your standard multivitamin.

​MORE INFORMATION

Fat Soluble Vitamins

Fat-soluble means that these vitamins are transported with fat and stored in the liver and fat tissue or eliminated via sebum in the skin. Because they can be stored in our bodies, they can accumulate and become toxic when eaten in excessive amounts. This mostly occurs when taking single supplements of the fat-soluble vitamins rather than in foods rich in vitamins. Eating fat-free or using “fat loss aids” that strip dietary fat out of the digestive tract can lead to health problems associated with fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies.

VITAMIN A

Vitamin A is an “essential” nutrient, meaning our bodies cannot make it, and it must be included in our diet. It is fat soluble and stored in our liver bound to protein until it is needed and transported out to the site of deficiency or increased demand.

Provitamin A is found in foods as carotenoids and is converted in part into retinol. Beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin are the most common carotenoids, with beta-carotene being the most easily converted into retinol. Carotenoids are found naturally in many fruits and vegetables.

Lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin are carotenoids but are not converted into vitamin A. They have their own functions, and are also important cofactors to regulate its function.

What does it do?

Vitamin A is essential for maintaining the immunity, integrity, and function of all surface tissues (epithelial). Supporting immunity, antioxidant protection, regeneration, and repair for;

• skin – replenish skin cells and regulate oils, pores, and immunity.
• respiratory tract – healthy mucosa and mucosal immunity.
• gut – gut wall integrity, gut-derived oxidative stress, immune activation, and protection.
• Reproductive tract – maintain the mucosal integrity and regulate mucosal immunity for reproduction and fertility.
• bladder – mucosal immunity and integrity.
• inner ears – protect from infection and allergic inflammation, oxidative stress, and inflammation.
• eyes – healthy mucous coating of the conjunctiva, and enhanced vision in poor light (night vision).

Vitamin A is also essential beyond the membrane surfaces;

• for maintaining a healthy immune system
• for growth and development of muscle and bone
• for reproduction
• vision

VITAMIN D2

Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is found in some plants and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the one synthesized in the body from cholesterol by irradiation of sterols in the skin by UV rays.

Every second person is vitamin D deficient. Almost 50% of the population worldwide; An estimated 1 billion people worldwide, across all ethnicities and age groups, have a diagnosed vitamin D deficiency. This may be attributed to lifestyle (for example, reduced outdoor activities, sunscreen) and environmental (for example, air pollution, atmospheric changes, and filtered sunlight) factors that minimize exposure to sunlight, which is required for ultraviolet-B (UVB)-induced vitamin D production in the skin.

What does it do?

Vitamin D helps with;

• Muscle development and bone growth
• Regulation of inflammation and immune modulation
• Preventing the rise of diseases such as osteoporosis, rickets, arthritis.
• Regulating hormone and vitamins simultaneously to regulate levels and movement of calcium and phosphorus in the body.
• Activating the production of a protein carrier, which is required for moving calcium. This vitamin also enforces the reabsorption of calcium in muscles and kidneys.
• Vitamin D is the main element in the process of metabolism of phosphorus and calcium.

Why supplement?

• osteoporosis,
• rickets,
• arthritis
• diabetes
• deteriorating vision
• loss of appetite
• weight gain
• insomnia

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin utilized in cellular antioxidant defense systems. As we cannot synthesize Vitamin E within our body, it must be exclusively obtained from our diet.

What does it do?

Vitamin E was made famous as the “anti-sterility factor”; which is essential for fertility and reproduction in both men and women.

Vitamin E and C work together as “antioxidants.” They scavenge ROS (reactive oxygen species) via activation of the glutathione antioxidant system. This antioxidant system is very efficient, and the vitamin C and E used in it are recycled so high doses are not necessary and do not make it work faster or stronger. The endogenous glutathione antioxidant system maintains vitamin C, and vitamin E levels through recycling and the glutathione system will determine the antioxidant effect of these vitamins and not you and your supplementation plan.

High levels of supplementation of vitamin C and vitamin E are not only unnecessary but may be harmful due to increasing the burden of the glutathione antioxidant system, and excess vitamin intake may provide an additional source of ROS. As mentioned earlier high doses and out of balance supplementation of antioxidant compounds beyond what is found in nature can turn protective antioxidants into damaging prooxidants. Vitamin E and C are possibly the most commonly overdosed supplements and may be contributing to worsening health outcomes because so many people believe if they take too much it will go straight through and vitamins can only be good and never bad. That is wrong.

Why supplement?

• Antioxidant to quench free radicals and scavenge ROS (reactive oxygen species)
• Oxidation has been linked to various chronic conditions such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease
• Reduces platelet aggregation and regulates prostaglandin production and blood clotting in heart disease
• Cataracts
• Alzheimer’s
• Poor wound healing and scarring
• Skin disorders, dry skin, wrinkling and sagging

WHY REMOVE THE MAGNESIUM AND CALCIUM?

The dose of magnesium and calcium in the Multifood was just enough to aid the utilisation of the other ingredients when in a deficiency state and the very low % of magnesium and calcium per gram of plant matter took up too much space and was not efficient nor viable.

Magnesium and calcium are better supplemented in higher doses when deficient and then lower doses once the deficiency has been corrected.

ZMST contains 100mg of Magnesium per capsule as magnesium citrate which is the best form of magnesium to supplement with in most cases to be taken at doses of 1 to 6 capsules daily. Multifood could only fit 20mg of magnesium from plant per capsule which has much lower bioavailability due to the phytates contained in the plant material. You would need to take 3 to 18 capsules of Multifood to correct magnesium deficiency states and that means overdosing on the vitamins.

MULTIFOOD
​
Do you believe nature knows best? Well at ATP Science we do. We believe that vitamins and minerals from organic, natural sources that are found as a vitamin complex with all of their different natural forms along with their synergistic cofactors are more easily absorbed and are used in the body more effectively than single nutrients. In an ideal world, we shouldn’t need to supplement our food with anything. Unfortunately, with modern farming practices, processing, and storage techniques of our foods in combination with the daily stresses of our modern life and our reliance on processed and packaged foods, we can’t avoid supplementing our diets.

It is not well known by most Australians that most ‘natural’ vitamin supplements are synthesised in a lab from genetically modified bacteria. At ATP Science, we believe in natural sources for our supplements. We have searched the globe looking for farmers and scientists who have perfected the art of farming, processing and storage techniques to make food that is standardised to contain vitamins and minerals, naturally.

Multifood provides your body with a natural balance of nutrients. Not just the vitamins and minerals; but also the included phytonutrients, polyphenols and other plant-based nutrients that are missing in your standard multivitamin.

NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES

Did you know that Nutrient deficiencies are one of the more common causes of resistance to effective treatments? Vitamin and mineral deficiencies create roadblocks in certain biochemical pathways and if deficient it can be impossible to force the body to change. Vitamin and mineral cofactors, found in MULTI FOOD are necessary for all the systems in the body to work. Production, activity, conversion, and detoxification of the following all require the vitamin and mineral cofactors. They include:

• Energy production cycle in every cell of the body – the Kreb cycle
• The proper function and production of hormones
• The production of neurotransmitters
• A properly functioning immune system.
• Digestive and systemic enzymes

For example

• Folate deficiency = inability to detoxify estrogen and contributes to obesity.
• Zinc deficiency = inability to control 5 alpha reductase and can’t fix testosterone: DHT ratios in acne.
• B5 deficiency = inability to control nervous systems and adrenal exhaustion.
• Vitamin c deficiency = scurvy = inability to regenerate collagen
• Magnesium deficiency = inability to switch off.
• Kreb cycle defect = no active transport pumps to absorb nutrients from the gut, systemic fatigue, excessive metabolic waste.

The first place to start to make sure someone is capable of creating change is by making sure the base nutrients are supplied.

2 x Multi Food caps daily supplies the essential water-soluble vitamins that need to be topped up on a daily basis along with all of the trace elements and botanical cofactors necessary for them to work.

directions

Take 2 x MultiFood capsules daily with breakfast.

FAQS

What is the best way to take the Multi Food?

We recommend taking x2 capsules daily with breakfast.

What is the difference between Whole Food Vitamins and Synthetic Vitamins?

Whole foods offer the essential cofactors and the natural variations of vitamins needed to ensure the intended reaction takes place in the body. Such cofactors cannot be formed or made in a lab therefore our bodies are missing these key elements when we use synthetic vitamins.

Are the plant extracts “fortified” with synthetic vitamins?

No. The vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and cofactors are all naturally occurring within the plant extracts.

Why no iron?

There is a large proportion of the population with too much iron and those with iron deficiency should embark on a short-term plan to boost iron levels with specific iron treatment.

Combining Iron (and / or copper) with vitamin C makes vitamin C change from an antioxidant to a prooxidant as it reduces the metals to create compounds such as hydrogen peroxide that exert powerful prooxidant effects capable of damaging tissues and cellular structures.

Why no B12?

Vitamin C can cause vitamin B12 destruction, therefore, the two vitamins should not be combined in the same formulation or taken at the same time.

The Multifood product does not add B12 to the formulation for this reason; as well as the fact that B12 is made in the intestinal tract from bacteria feeding on plant material and Multifood is plant material.

The best plant source for B12 is algae but they also contain Iodine. Iodine has also been excluded.

Why no Iodine?

ATP Science T432plus contains iodine if you are looking for iodine supplementation.

Many people are allergic to iodine or have to avoid it for other reasons such as autoimmune disorders, certain thyroid diseases, drug interactions.

Those that need it will need a specific dose for a specific purpose. It is best to keep Multi Food intake consistent for all other nutrients and cofactors and use iodine as a specific therapeutic tool.

Can I use this with other products from the range?

Yes, you absolutely can, Multi-food compliments all products from our range

Is this Vegan?

Yes, this is vegan, and the capsules are made from vegetable matter (Hypromellose). You can also open the capsules and sprinkle in food or smoothies.

Is the Vitamin D Vegan?

Yes, this is sourced from yeast exposed to sunlight for absorption of Vitamin D and extracted in the form of vitamin D2.

What are Fat-Soluble Vitamins?

Fat-soluble quite simply means that these vitamins are transported with Fat and stored in the liver and Fat tissue or eliminated in Sebum, the oily fatty substance within our pores. Excessive intake of fat-soluble vitamins can become problematic based on their known storage sites in the body. This excess often occurs when high doses of the vitamin are singled out and dosed extremely high in a synthetic form.

What fat-soluble vitamins have been added?

Fat soluble Vitamins that have been added are A, D, and E.

What ingredients did we take out of the original Blend?

Lantana Magnesium and Wrighta Calcium.

Why did we take out the Magnesium and Calcium?

The dosage of Magnesium and Calcium was just barely enough in multi-food to aid in the utilization of the other ingredients but not enough to correct these specific deficiencies of magnesium or calcium. They also took up a lot of space in the capsule for such a small input. The requirements of the calcium and magnesium can alter depending on the requirements to correct a deficiency, so the dosage needs to be flexible, in which case its best to dose them individually for the individual. You can opt for ZMST for a great blend of Zinc, Magnesium, selenium, and Taurine.

Can I use this if I have the MTHFR Gene Polymorphism?

Yes, this is perfect for the individuals that cannot convert folic acid to the active form of 5-MTHF. Using natural folates instead of folic acid reduces the potential for masking hematological symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. B12 is needed for MTHFR to function and interestingly B12 injections can also mask folate deficiency, so it is important to maintain natural balance when supplementing with folate and B12.

Is it just Fat-soluble Vitamins?

No, Multifood combines both Water-soluble vitamins and Fat-soluble vitamins in their RDI for adults to help assist in providing the micronutrients and essential cofactors for multiple processes. This includes the important critical cofactors required for 100% function of the Kreb cycle, necessary for life itself.

How long do I take this for?

​This is designed as a daily top-up of vitamins, from food sourced ingredients so it can be an addition to your diet if you feel you lack in your diet or that your fruit and veg may not be as packed with goodness as they once were and just want to cover all bases.
