They've taken nine key nutrients and two delayed release capsules that really optimize your body's
0:21.3	absorption.
0:22.2	And it's gentle if you want to take it on an empty stomach.
0:25.7	You know, it's hard to coordinate your timing.
0:27.3	I think sometimes the reason we stop taking vitamins is it's just kind of one more thing.
0:31.8	They've made it very easy.
0:33.0	They even have a nice little minty aftertaste.
0:35.7	I mean, they've thought about it from top to bottom.

1:12.0	vitamin D levels by 43 percent and omega-3 DHA levels by 41 percent, and that was just in 12
1:19.2	weeks. So I don't know if you know this, but women were not even a part of clinical studies until
1:25.2	1993. It was a law. So they have really done their due diligence.
1:29.4	They do third-party testing. They test on women. They see how the supplements and their products
