Catalyn is a pure organic whole food supplement which can supply multiple vitamins for complex nutritional supplementation. It is designed to help bridge nutritional gaps in the diet and encourage healthy cell function*. Catalyn is a good source of vitamin D, vitamin B6 and vitamin A, thiamin and riboflavin.
Benefits of Antioxidants
Vitamin A supports antioxidant activity to protect against free radicals, promote healthy cell functions.3-5 Vitamin A is also involved in immune function, the normal formation and maintenance of vital organs such as the heart and lungs.3-5
Vitamin D Benefits
Individuals with inadequate sun exposure are at risk of vitamin D deficiency.6 Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that supports bone health and development, cellular function, neuromuscular function, and immune function.5,7
B Vitamin Benefits
Catalyn incorporates B vitamins that are vital cofactors for hundreds of biological functions in the body.
Thiamin (vitamin B1) acts as a co-enzyme associated with the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids.8
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is converted to its coenzyme forms in most tissues which are involved in many enzymatic reactions in the body including energy production, cellular functions, growth and development.3
Vitamin B6 in coenzyme forms are involved in more than 100 enzymatic reactions in the body including the synthesis of heme in the red blood cells and neurotransmitters, and the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids.3,5
Phytonutrient Benefits
Phytonutrients are natural, plant-derived compounds that are reported to be beneficial to human health. Catalyn is formulated with several plant-based superfoods like alfalfa, sweet potato, carrots, and pea vine, which helps bridge nutritional gaps in the American diet.
A Whole Food Matrix Supports Overall Well-Being*
According to the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), the U.S. population’s average intake of fruits and vegetables falls far below the recommended amounts.1 In particular, only 9.3% of U.S. adults meet the daily vegetable intake recommendation.2
This shortfall can contribute to under-consumed nutrients. For example, the 2020-2025 DGA have reported more than 90% of adults older than age 19 years do not consume enough vitamin D.1
Catalyn, together with healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, can help fill the nutrient gap. It was the first product developed by the founder of Standard Process, Dr. Royal Lee, in 1929. It contains several plant-based superfoods such as organic alfalfa and pea vine, which are grown on the Standard Process certified organic farm. In addition, it is a source of vital nutrients such as vitamin A, D, and B.
