Most of the time, nutritional supplements are marketed as best consumed for one or two health reasons but, occasionally, a supplement pops up that bucks that trend. Occasionally, a supplement may be advanced enough to offer several different benefits at once – and potentially have the capacity to do more. Such a nutritional supplement is Poly-MVA (sold by us in a 236ml version).

Officially referred to as Palladium linked Alpha Lipoic Acid, Poly-MVA is principally a product that can help greatly in supporting the oxygenation of cells and tissues as well as operate as a powerful antioxidant (and even though these two properties of the supplement sound like they ought to be contradictory; they’re apparently not).

Formulated unlike any other supplement you’ll come across in its blend of minerals, vitamins and amino acids, Poly-MVA was created specifically to help cellular energy production in the human body – as well as to promote overall health, not least because it may also help maintain reliable immune response. To wit, it’s a complex of alpha-lipoic acid, the mineral palladium, Vitamins B1, B2 and B12, methionine, N-Acetyl cystiene and trace amounts of molybdenum, rhodium and ruthenium.

An impressive line-up of nutrients? Yes. And the manufacturers claim it’s possible the supplement can deliver all the following nutritional benefits for the body:

• Help the body produce energy
• Support the liver in removing harmful substances from the body
• Aid in preventing cell damage
• Help the body remove heavy metals from the bloodstream
• Act as both a powerful antioxidant and detoxificant
• Prevent B12 deficiency-related mental issues in elderly people
• Support nerve and neurotransmitter function
• Enhance white blood cell function
• Support pH balance, helping to maintain oxygenation of cells and tissues.

Poly-MVA – how it works

The supplement’s formulation of ingredients then, in being designed to provide energy for compromised body systems, looks to alter the electrical potential of human cells and ensure aerobic metabolism within them can take place effectively. And, as a member of the group of the Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes (LAMC), Poly-MVA may well prove to be able to help boost immune response in many people thanks to it replenishing of key nutrients and so supporting cellular metabolism.

That said, to understand what truly makes Poly-MVA unique, you have to get down to the science. The fact is, its uniqueness is defined by the proprietary manufacturing process that sees the palladium it contains sequestered to its lipoic acid; it’s this preparation and bonding process through which its LAMC’s manufactured that makes Poly-MVA unlike any other supplement out there. The formulation of its LAMC then, along with its other vitamins, minerals and amino acids, is what ensures it delivers a heady cocktail of nutritional support – ensuring it can help drive optimum functioning of essential body systems.

Why is this? Well, when lipoic acid, a highly potent antioxidant, becomes attached to an electrically-charged mineral substrate, as well as associated with B vitamins, it creates a complex of minerals that boasts enhanced solubility both in water and body fat. And this means that it’s easily and safely capable of travelling wherever it wants throughout the body – and that, highly impressively, includes across the blood-brain barrier.

This latter capability (something impossible for most medication, let alone normal nutritional supplements) could well mean that, as a supplement, Poly-MVA might be capable of more besides – it may, depending on further research and evidence, be able to go yet further beyond what nutritional supplements can do.

Poly-MVA – it’s worth it

Now, despite all it can do, yes, it’s true; Poly-MVA is, unfortunately, far from the cheapest of nutritional supplements. We regret that fact and, were there any way for us to sell it cheaper, we genuinely would try to. Yet, sadly, when you consider necessary customs, shipping, airline handling and duty prices we incur in order to sell it here in the UK, it’s simply impossible to make it available at a cheaper price.

But sometimes you do have pay for quality and Poly-MVA, with all its benefits for the human body, is most definitely a high-quality supplement we recommend. Not least when you consider that its manufacturers advise its beneficial effects can be enhanced by combining it with the likes of CoEnzyme Q10 (at least 100mg per day) and Vitamin D (5,000-10,000iu per day). We also believe the results of combining it with NADH on 2-4 tablets per day may well be very effective.
