Alpha-Linolenic Acid - Novalac AC (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) (ALA) is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid. It is a component of many common vegetable oils and is important to human nutrition. [Wikipedia]

Indication: For nutritional supplementation and for treating dietary shortage or imbalance.

Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) is an 18-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid with three double bonds. It is also called an omega-3 fatty acid, and is essential for all mammals. Novalac AC (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) (or omega 3 fatty acid) intake can decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 1) preventing arrhythmias that can lead to sudden cardiac death, 2) decreasing the risk of thrombosis (blood clot formation) that can lead to heart attack or stroke, 3) decreasing serum triglyceride levels, 4) slowing the growth of atherosclerotic plaque, 5) improving vascular endothelial function, 6) lowering blood pressure slightly, and 7) decreasing inflammation. ALA deficiencies can lead to visual problems and sensory neuropathy. Scaly and hemorrhagic skin or scalp inflammations may also develop.

Calcium - This medication is used to prevent or treat low blood Novalac AC (Calcium) levels in people who do not get enough Novalac AC (Calcium) from their diets. It may be used to treat conditions caused by low Novalac AC (Calcium) levels such as bone loss ( osteoporosis ), weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland ( hypoparathyroidism ), and a certain muscle disease (latent tetany). It may also be used in certain patients to make sure they are getting enough Novalac AC (Calcium) (e.g., women who are pregnant, nursing, or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone ). Novalac AC (Calcium) plays a very important role in the body. It is necessary for normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscle, and bone. If there is not enough Novalac AC (Calcium) in the blood, then the body will take Novalac AC (Calcium) from bones, thereby weakening bones. Having the right amount of Novalac AC (Calcium) is important for building and keeping strong bones.

Choline - A basic constituent of lecithin that is found in many plants and animal organs. It is important as a precursor of acetylcholine, as a methyl donor in various metabolic processes, and in lipid metabolism.

Indication: For nutritional supplementation, also for treating dietary shortage or imbalance

This compound is needed for good nerve conduction throughout the CNS (central nervous system) as it is a precursor to acetylcholine (ACh). Novalac AC (Choline) is also needed for gallbladder regulation, liver function and lecithin (a key lipid) formation. Novalac AC (Choline) also aids in fat and cholesterol metabolism and prevents excessive fat build up in the liver. Novalac AC (Choline) has been used to mitigate the effects of Parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia. Novalac AC (Choline) deficiencies may result in excessive build-up of fat in the liver, high blood pressure, gastric ulcers, kidney and liver dysfunction and stunted growth.

Folic Acid - A member of the vitamin B family that stimulates the hematopoietic system. It is present in the liver and kidney and is found in mushrooms, spinach, yeast, green leaves, and grasses (poaceae). Novalac AC (Folic Acid) is used in the treatment and prevention of folate deficiencies and megaloblastic anemia.

Indication: For treatment of Novalac AC (Folic Acid) deficiency, megaloblastic anemia and in anemias of nutritional supplements, pregnancy, infancy, or childhood.

Novalac AC (Folic Acid), a water-soluble B-complex vitamin, is found in foods such as liver, kidneys, yeast, and leafy, green vegetables. Novalac AC (Folic Acid) is used to diagnose folate deficiency and to treat topical sprue and megaloblastic and macrocytic anemias, hematologic complications resulting from a deficiency in folic acid.

Inositol - Niacin is used with a proper diet and exercise program to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats ( LDL, triglycerides ) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It is generally used after non-drug treatments have not been fully successful at lowering cholesterol. Niacin is also known as vitamin B-3 ( nicotinic acid ), one of the B-complex vitamins. It may be used with or without other medications. Lowering "bad" cholesterol/triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol helps prevent strokes and heart attacks. Lowering fats may also help reduce the risk of pancreas problems ( pancreatitis ) in people at risk. In addition to eating a proper diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help this medication work better include exercising, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking. Consult your doctor for more details.

Iron - A metallic element found in certain minerals, in nearly all soils, and in mineral waters. It is an essential constituent of hemoglobin, cytochrome, and other components of respiratory enzyme systems. Its chief functions are in the transport of oxygen to tissue (hemoglobin) and in cellular oxidation mechanisms. Depletion of Novalac AC (Iron) stores may result in iron-deficiency anemia. Novalac AC (Iron) is used to build up the blood in anemia.

Indication: Used in preventing and treating iron-deficiency anemia.

The major activity of supplemental Novalac AC (Iron) is in the prevention and treatment of Novalac AC (Iron) deficiency anemia. Novalac AC (Iron) has putative immune-enhancing, anticarcinogenic and cognition-enhancing activities.

Magnesium - This medication is a mineral supplement used to prevent and treat low amounts of Novalac AC (Magnesium) in the blood. Novalac AC (Magnesium) is very important for the normal functioning of cells, nerves, muscles, bones, and the heart. Usually, a well- balanced diet provides normal blood levels of magnesium. However, certain situations cause your body to lose Novalac AC (Magnesium) faster than you can replace it from your diet. These situations include treatment with "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide ), a poor diet, alcoholism, or other medical conditions (e.g., severe diarrhea / vomiting, stomach /intestinal absorption problems, poorly controlled diabetes ).

Potassium - This medication is used to treat certain skin disorders (e.g., dermatomyositis, scleroderma, Peyronie's disease). It helps make your skin more flexible and softens plaques. Novalac AC (Potassium) para-aminobenzoate is thought to work by increasing the use of oxygen in the skin.

Sodium - Novalac AC (Sodium) bicarbonate is a white, crystalline powder that is commonly used as a pH buffering agent, an electrolyte replenisher, systemic alkalizer and in topical cleansing solutions.

Indication: Novalac AC (Sodium) bicarbonate is used for the treatment of metabolic acidosis which may occur in severe renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, circulatory insufficiency due to shock or severe dehydration, extracorporeal circulation of blood, cardiac arrest and severe primary lactic acidosis. Also is indicated in severe diarrhea which is often accompanied by a significant loss of bicarbonate. Further indicated in the treatment of certain drug intoxications, including barbiturates (where dissociation of the barbiturateprotein complex is desired), in poisoning by salicylates or methyl alcohol and in hemolytic reactions requiring alkalinization of the urine to diminish nephrotoxicity of blood pigments.

Intravenous Novalac AC (Sodium) bicarbonate therapy increases plasma bicarbonate, buffers excess hydrogen ion concentration, raises blood pH and reverses the clinical manifestations of acidosis.

Vitamin A (Retinol) - Retinol and derivatives of retinol that play an essential role in metabolic functioning of the retina, the growth of and differentiation of epithelial tissue, the growth of bone, reproduction, and the immune response. Dietary Novalac AC (Vitamin A (Retinol)) is derived from a variety of carotenoids found in plants. It is enriched in the liver, egg yolks, and the fat component of dairy products.

Indication: For the treatment of Novalac AC (Vitamin A (Retinol)) deficiency.

Novalac AC (Vitamin A (Retinol)) is effective for the treatment of Novalac AC (Vitamin A (Retinol)) deficiency. Novalac AC (Vitamin A (Retinol)) refers to a group of fat-soluble substances that are structurally related to and possess the biological activity of the parent substance of the group called all-trans retinol or retinol. Novalac AC (Vitamin A (Retinol)) plays vital roles in vision, epithelial differentiation, growth, reproduction, pattern formation during embryogenesis, bone development, hematopoiesis and brain development. It is also important for the maintenance of the proper functioning of the immune system.

Vitamin C - A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Novalac AC (Vitamin C) is considered an antioxidant.

Indication: Used to treat Novalac AC (Vitamin C) deficiency, scurvy, delayed wound and bone healing, urine acidification, and in general as an antioxidant. It has also been suggested to be an effective antiviral agent.

Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) is a water-soluble vitamin indicated for the prevention and treatment of scurvy, as ascorbic acid deficiency results in scurvy. Collagenous structures are primarily affected, and lesions develop in bones and blood vessels. Administration of ascorbic acid completely reverses the symptoms of ascorbic acid deficiency.

Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol) - A generic descriptor for all tocopherols and tocotrienols that exhibit alpha-tocopherol activity. By virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus, these compounds exhibit varying degree of antioxidant activity, depending on the site and number of methyl groups and the type of isoprenoids.

Indication: Vitamin E, known for its antioxidant activities, is protective against cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer and has also demonstrated immune-enhancing effects. It may be of limited benefit in some with asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. It may be helpful in some neurological diseases including Alzheimer's, some eye disorders including cataracts, and diabetes and premenstrual syndrome. It may also help protect skin from ultraviolet irradiation although claims that it reverses skin aging, enhances male fertility and exercise performance are poorly supported. It may help relieve some muscle cramps.

Novalac AC (Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)) has antioxidant activity. It may also have anti-atherogenic, antithrombotic, anticoagulant, neuroprotective, antiviral, immunomodulatory, cell membrane-stabilizing and antiproliferative actions. Novalac AC (Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)) is a collective term used to describe eight separate forms, the best-known form being alpha-tocopherol. Novalac AC (Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)) is a fat-soluble vitamin and is an important antioxidant. It acts to protect cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body's metabolism. Novalac AC (Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)) is often used in skin creams and lotions because it is believed to play a role in encouraging skin healing and reducing scarring after injuries such as burns. There are three specific situations when a Novalac AC (Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)) deficiency is likely to occur. It is seen in persons who cannot absorb dietary fat, has been found in premature, very low birth weight infants (birth weights less than 1500 grams, or 3½ pounds), and is seen in individuals with rare disorders of fat metabolism. A Novalac AC (Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)) deficiency is usually characterized by neurological problems due to poor nerve conduction. Symptoms may include infertility, neuromuscular impairment, menstrual problems, miscarriage and uterine degradation. Preliminary research has led to a widely held belief that Novalac AC (Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)) may help prevent or delay coronary heart disease. Antioxidants such as Novalac AC (Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)) help protect against the damaging effects of free radicals, which may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer. It also protects other fat-soluble vitamins (A and B group vitamins) from destruction by oxygen. Low levels of Novalac AC (Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)) have been linked to increased incidence of breast and colon cancer.

Vitamin K1 - Vitamin K is used to treat and prevent low levels of certain substances ( blood clotting factors) that your body naturally produces. These substances help your blood to thicken and stop bleeding normally (e.g., after an accidental cut or injury). Low levels of blood clotting factors increase the risk for unusual bleeding. Low levels may be caused by certain medications (e.g., warfarin ) or medical conditions (e.g., obstructive jaundice ). Vitamin K helps to treat and prevent unusual bleeding by increasing the body's production of blood clotting factors.

Zinc - A metallic element of atomic number 30 and atomic weight 65.38. It is a necessary trace element in the diet, forming an essential part of many enzymes, and playing an important role in protein synthesis and in cell division. Novalac AC (Zinc) deficiency is associated with anemia, short stature, hypogonadism, impaired wound healing, and geophagia. It is known by the symbol Zn.
