Pharmacology: Cristane is a four-in-one antioxidant formulation with Beta Carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Zinc which enhances the immune system and helps us to ward off disease. These nutrients provide natural scavenging antioxidants to combat free radicals and help sustain the necessary amounts of vitamins to complement the necessary RDA.
Vitamin C is a major water-soluble antioxidant which acts as first defense against free radicals in the aqueous phase including blood, plasma and other intracellular and extracellular fluids. It forms a part of the natural immune system and stimulates the activity of antibodies and immune cells which inhibit foreign antigens harmful to the body.
Beta Carotene is necessary for growth, maintenance of skin and linings of the digestive and respiratory tract. It is also important for vision which delays age-related formation of eye problems such as macular degeneration.
Zinc is a mineral which is needed for normal growth, cell function and for bone metabolism. It is used to fight oxidative stress and decreases disease development.
Natural Vitamin E helps maintain and repair damaged skin and blood cells, improves muscle strength and prevents common illnesses and health conditions like heart disease and cancer.

Ascorbic Acid + d-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E) + Beta Carotene + Zinc (Cristane) is a daily nutritional supplement for the prevention of vitamin and mineral deficiency.

Some individuals may have a reaction to using supplements like CRISTANE. This could be itching as an allergic reaction, or some digestive complaint as abdominal discomfort, nausea or change in bowel movement.

The vitamins and minerals have no significant food interactions when CRISTANE is taken in the recommended amounts. But since the four active ingredients are in amounts above the RDA, if other vitamin- and mineral-containing products are taken, it is best to consult a health provider.
The effectiveness of medications used to lower cholesterol and niacin may be decreased if the patient is taking Beta Carotene, Vitamins E and C.
