Everyone needs the right vitamins and minerals to have a healthy life. Which is why everyone should know about MIN. It doesn't contain too much or too little of these essential nutrients, but just the exact daily amounts you need to help you overcome the impact of highly processed foods and unhealthy eating habits.
Good nutrients are hard to find. These days, most of us get our calories not from food, but from food product—highly processed and refined meals and snacks that are much more about convenience than good nutrition. These food products are usually high in sugars and fats but low in vitamins and minerals. This has led to many of us being deprived of the nutrients that make us feel better, that keep our bodies functioning properly, and that allow us to perform at our best.
The right vitamins and minerals in the right amount. MIN gives you the exact amounts of the essential vitamins you need everyday. It provides 100% of the recommended daily intake of 12 essential vitamins and up to 50% of 10 essential minerals. Sure, there are plenty of megadose supplements available, but many of their nutrients may not be absorbable. Even worse, huge doses of some vitamins and minerals can be toxic.
Nothing hard to swallow about it. Besides providing the right amount of nutrients, MIN uses the revolutionary Suspension Gel Technology to maximize their absorption. So if you'd like to minimize the waste and maximize your vitamins and minerals, MIN is the supplement for you. Better yet, it provides this essential nutrition in a great-tasting form that's easy to swallow, simple to take with you, and sweetened by nature's own sugar, fructose.
What can MIN do for you? Here are just a few of the many potential benefits:
- Contains 100% RDI of essential, energy-producing coenzymes*
- Provides stamina for normal daily activities*
- Converts carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into energy*
- Helps keep normal bones, teeth, and joints healthy*
- Supports normal vision and hearing*
- $70 per boxEach box contains 30 single serve gels

About MIN:
SOME FACTS ABOUT MIN
Vitamins and Minerals are essential tools in everyday human physiology. They function as coenzymes and cofactors that are involved in almost all biochemical processes in the body. In essence, vitamins and minerals are crucial to healthy living.
Before the days of "fast food" and "empty" calories, these vitamins and minerals were found naturally in our food. However, in modern days, as the average diet consists mostly of processed, manufactured food, where the levels of these critical nutrients are relatively lower, there is overwhelming scientific evidence to support the intake of dietary supplements that are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Agel MIN is a proprietary formulation of vitamins and minerals that provides 100% of the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) of almost all the essential vitamins and as much as 50% of the RDI of most of the essential minerals. More importantly, the availability of these vitamins and minerals is enhanced due to the revolutionary gel technology employed in the MIN formulation. The vitamins and minerals are dissolved and suspended in the gel, resulting in immediate availability for absorption by the digestive tract.
There are some who advocate using mega doses of various vitamins, presuming that if some is good, more is better. However, there is growing scientific evidence that too much of a good thing can be harmful. Therefore, Agel’s formulation for a moderate dose of readily available vitamins and minerals is ideal.
MIN Health Benefits
StaMINa™
Stamina is defined as the complete physical and cognitive energy required for an active lifestyle. Unfortunately, many people lack stamina. They seem to "walk into a wall". MIN contains 12 essential vitamins and 11 essential minerals to maintain your stamina. Increased stamina is obtained from MIN by providing essential nutrients that 1) generate stamina energy from food and 2) create an efficient biochemistry throughout the body.
StaMINa Generation
Vitamins and minerals are closely involved in the processes of converting food into energy. They are cofactors of enzymes that efficiently generate biochemical energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the diet. Increased efficiency equals increased energy.
StaMINa = Energy Reserves
Trillions of biochemical reactions take place every second within the body to maintain vigor, wellness and gusto. Every biochemical reaction requires energy. Essential vitamins and minerals work with enzymes which act as catalysts to minimize the energy necessary for each biochemical reaction. Multiply trillions of reactions over thousands of seconds each day and this equals substantial additional energy reserves. These energy reserves provide stamina. Therefore, vitamins and minerals save energy — helping the body biochemistry to run efficiently. Stamina is the result of this efficiency.
Ageless Zest™
Regardless of age, the body should feel zest. Zest is a drive to live, feeling vim & vigor, and a state of good health regardless of one’s chronological age. Ageless Zest is a composite of thousands and thousands of properly functioning biochemical reactions within the body. These biochemical reactions allow over 5000 functions within the body to maintain overall health, vigor, vim and vitality. Ageless Zest may be associated with vision, joints, bones, teeth, hair, smell, taste, hearing, touch, immune functions, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal, nerves, brain, muscles, tendons, cartilage, hormones, reproduction, pregnancy, respiration, coordination, etc. MIN’s essential vitamins and minerals help maintain necessary micronutrient levels to ensure stability of over 5000 biofunctions. Ageless Zest is A-Z health.
Who and When
MIN is recommended for healthy adults, teenagers, children and athletes. Consume MIN at the same time every day. Consume one Agel MIN packet a day. Endurance athletes may consume a second MIN packet for stamina.
Precautions
Pregnant or nursing women should consult with their physician concerning the MIN formula.
