Food Nutrient Complex
Made with SLS-free vegetable capsules

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
dōTERRA Microplex VMz Food Nutrient Complex is a food nutrient formula of bioavailable vitamins and
minerals that are deficient in our modern diets. The formula includes a balanced blend of essential
antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E, and an energy complex of B vitamins presented in a patented glycoprotein
matrix. Microplex VMz also contains chelated minerals including calcium, magnesium, and zinc for optimal
bone and metabolic health.* Microplex VMz contains the dōTERRA tummy tamer botanical blend of
Peppermint, Ginger, and Caraway to calm the stomach for those who may have experienced stomach upset
with other vitamin and mineral products.* Microplex VMz is encapsulated using sodium lauryl sulfate-free
vegetable capsules.

CONCEPT
While it is abundantly clear that diets in the United States and in many developed countries include
adequate and even an overabundance of calories, a growing body of evidence shows that even as
we eat more, we are obtaining less of the essential nutrients vital
for optimal health. Over-processed, calorie-rich, nutrient-poor food
choices threaten to make us unhealthy as our bodies are
deprived of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. The
American Medical Association acknowledges the prudence of taking
nutritional supplements, admitting that while “the clinical
1
syndromes of vitamin deficiencies are unusual in Western
societies, suboptimal vitamin status is not” (Journal of the
American Medical Association, June 19, 2002).
Microplex VMz is a comprehensive array of vitamins and minerals
presented in a food nutrient complex that are essential for normal
growth, function, and maintenance of cells.* Microplex VMz
provides a balanced blend of essential antioxidant vitamins A, C,
and E; an energy complex of B vitamins; and 800 IU of vitamin D.*
It also contains important chelated minerals for metabolism and
the essential bone nutrients calcium, magnesium, and zinc.*

Patented Glycoprotein Matrix

Most of the vitamins and minerals absorbed in our bodies come
from the food we eat. Sometimes vitamins and minerals are
isolated or synthetically constructed and may become more difficult
for our bodies to recognize and absorb as food nutrients. The
vitamins in Microplex VMz are presented in a patented glycoprotein
matrix to help promote bioavailability. To make a vitamin
glycoprotein compound, a vitamin is introduced to a culture of
lactobacillus and yeast. As it grows, the yeast metabolizes and binds
the vitamin into its protein matrix, making the vitamin more
recognizable as food in the digestive process. The food-derived
minerals in Microplex VMz are similarly cultured in yeast to
promote bioavailability.
