People's nutritional needs are not all the same. That's why we created a flexible dosage once-daily multivitamin.
PIONEER 1+ Vitamin/Mineral is the first multivitamin supplement that can be taken safely as a complete one-per-day for general health maintenance, or as a two-per-day for those with more active, high stress lifestyles or other acute nutritional needs.
THE STORY OF PIONEER 1+VITAMIN/MINERAL
When PIONEER decided to make a once-daily multi, we knew it wouldn’t be easy for several reasons.
• It is impossible to fit enough of everything into just one tablet.
• To enable maximum absorption, it is preferable to spread smaller servings out over 24 hours.
• The higher quality, more bioavailable ingredients often take up more space, resulting in a very large
tablet.
Despite such challenges, we believed that there was a way to formulate an excellent product without compromising on
quality standards. We set out to:
1) Design a flexible-serving 1/day that would be complete when taken just once daily, but could be taken more frequently with both safety and increased benefit.
2) Choose high, effective yet safe potencies and ratios of every vitamin, mineral and trace nutrient. (This was achieved with the exception of only two minerals, calcium and magnesium. Due to their extra-large molecular size, these ingredients had to be included in smaller amounts – true for all 1/day multis.)
3) Select the highest quality, most absorbable ingredients available, regardless of cost.
4) Emphasize antioxidants, minerals and trace nutrients.
5) Use only natural manufacturing agents and ingredients that are hypoallergenic and free of unsafe metal contaminants,
resulting in a truly “clean” supplement.
PIONEER Original 1+V/M tablets (with iron) were introduced in 1994, and soon became our best-selling multiple vitamin/
mineral. After receiving numerous requests for an iron-free multi, we introduced Iron-Free 1+ V/M tablets to the 1+ family.
CONSIDER THESE ADVANTAGES:
1. Flexible Daily Serving System. One of the unique features of 1+Vitamin/Mineral is its flexible serving system.
1+V/M is the first complete once-daily multi specifically designed to be taken either once or twice per day.
Taking 1+V/M in divided doses allows the benefits to be spread out over the course of the day.
In general, recommended doses are:
• 1 Tablet Daily for General Health Maintenance
• 1 Tablet Twice Daily for High Stress Lifestyle / Sports and Fitness / Other High Nutritional Needs.
Unlike time-released, once-daily vitamins that often break down incompletely, 1+Vitamin/Mineral disintegrates efficiently for rapid absorption.
2. Potent Antioxidant Protection. Environmental pollutants, cigarette smoke, alcohol, radiation, drugs and
other toxic substances create dangerous free radicals that can depress the body’s natural defense system and predispose cells to premature aging and death. PIONEER 1+V/M contains one
of the highest combined levels of free radical-fighting antioxidants
(vitamins C and E, beta carotene and mixed carotenoids,
selenium, etc.) of any 1/day multi.
3. Highly Bioavailable Nutrient Forms. Current
research suggests that many of the select forms of nutrients
used in 1+V/M are closer to the body’s own chemistry than
commonly used forms. Although far more costly, these preferred
forms are more efficiently absorbed, transported and
utilized within the cells of the body. They include the chelates
aspartate, glycinate, citrate, malate, methionate and glutathionate,
B-complex coenzymes and natural source trace minerals.
4. Multiple Sources of Vitamins and Minerals.
The ability to absorb specific nutrients differs from individual
to individual, and in some, pathways for absorption may
be blocked. Using multiple forms and sources gives the body
a greater opportunity to recognize and utilize each nutrient.
Six of the vitamins and ten of the chelated minerals in 1+
Vitamin/ Mineral are derived from two or more sources of
the same nutrient (e.g.: zinc from picolinate, lysinate and
methionate).
5. Biologically Active B Coenzymes. Riboflavin 5’
phosphate, pyridoxal 5’ phosphate and coenzymate B12 are the
most highly absorbable B vitamins available. Because they are
pre-activated, they do not need to be converted in the liver
and can be directly transported to needed sites in the body.
6. Natural Source Trace Minerals & Micronutrients.
Concentrated organic food sources including spirulina,
chlorella, barley grass and sea minerals provide 1+V/M with
important trace elements and other micronutrients that are
often absent from food grown in commercial soils. Green
Foods are also concentrated sources of beta carotene, chlorophyll,
B12 and other B vitamins.
7. Free of Gluten, Yeast and Other Common
Food Allergens. PIONEER 1+V/M contains no gluten,
wheat, yeast, corn, eggs or dairy products, and no added colorings,
flavorings, sweeteners, salt, synthetic preservatives,
solvents, binders, excipients or coatings. (Though unlikely,
traces of rice, soy and citrus may be present.) We use natural
manufacturing agents only: cellulose, silica, and vegetable
magnesium stearate.
8. Safe Levels of Iron, or None at All. Recent
research suggests that supplementation with high levels of
iron may be harmful for some people. Original 1+Vitamin/
Mineral contains only 4 mg of this essential nutrient (22% of
USDV). This means that for some individuals, additional
iron may be required. For others, our Iron-Free version may
be appropriate. Ask your health professional about how
much iron, if any, is right for you.
9. 100% Vegetarian. All of the ingredients in each of
the four versions of 1+Vitamin/Mineral have been carefully
selected to come from non-animal sources.
10. True Full-Disclosure Labeling. All ingredients,
their forms, and ratios are fully disclosed on the label of
every PIONEER product. Read the label!
