Nutrient
Chart - LEVITY Vitamin Formula
To promote overall emotional and mental
well being, the vitamins of the LEVITY Program consist of
six key nutrients in specific dosages that most people don't
get through a daily diet. That's why taking this combination
of ingredients (also available as the Levity dietary supplement
- see below), along with light and exercise, is vital for
fighting the "Body Blues."
