VALERIAN ROOT: An herb (Valeriana officinalis). Valerian is a root that has been used since ancient Greek times for its relaxing, sedative effects. Interest in the use of this plant has increased dramatically over the past 20 years, resulting in over 200 scientific papers on its chemistry and clinical application. Aside from the important valerenic acid, over 120 other important components have been identified from the root and its essential oil.

VALINE: An essential amino acid needed for optimal growth in infants and for nitrogen equilibrium in adults.

VANADIUM: Non-essential mineral. It is believed that Vanadium is probably essential to growth and involved in fat metabolism. A vanadium deficiency can increase blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

VEGETAL SILICA: An herb (Equisetum arvense). Vegetal silica is also known as horsetail and is a member of the Equisetaceae family. Vegital Silica, or Horsetail, is found in marshes and on the edges of ponds. The plant itself is more closely related to a fern, rather than a flower, due to its dull and flowerless appearance. It is a rush-like perennial with hollow, jointed stems and scale-like leaves.

VIRION: A rudimentary virus particle with a central nucleoid surrounded by a protein sheath.

VITAMIN: An organic compound essential in small quantities for normal physiologic and metabolic functioning of the body.

VITAMIN A: A fat soluble vitamin essential to one's health. Plays an important part in the growth and repair of body tissue, protects epithelial tissue, helps maintain the skin and is necessary for night vision. It is also necessary for normal growth and formation of bones and teeth.

VITAMIN C: Also known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant vitamin essential to the body's health. As an antioxidant, inhibits the formation of nitrosamines (a suspected carcinogen). Vitamin C is important for maintenance of bones, teeth, collagen and blood vessels (capillaries). Vitamin C also enhances iron absorption and red blood cell formation.

VITAMIN D: A fat soluble vitamin essential to one's health. Regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the blood by improving their absorption and utilizaion. Necessary for normal growth and formation of bones and teeth.

VITAMIN E: An essential fat-soluble vitamin. As an antioxidant, helps protect cell membranes, liprproteins, fats and vitamin A from destructive oxidation. Helps protect red blood cells.
