Origin
Standard Process Catalyn is a whole food multivitamin with several vitamins and minerals to serve as a nutritional supplement. It was introduced in 1929 by Dr. Royal Lee. Catalyn was named to represent its catalytic reaction. Catalyn contains vitamins, minerals and enzyme complexities. All of these are presented in their natural state for complete nutritional benefits.
Purpose
The purpose of Catalyn is to produce a supplement using whole food ingredients, rather than incomplete, isolated nutrients. These nutrients come in a single dose, three times per day, in their natural state. Maintaining a multivitamin in its natural state, ensures vital nutrients will remain.
Nutrients
The recommended dose of Catalyn is three pills per day. That dose will yield these essential vitamins:
Vitamin A--1,200 IU
Vitamin C--4 mg
Vitamin D--312 IU
Thiamine--.2 mg
Riboflavin--.2 mg
Vitamin B6--1 mg
Whole Food Blends
As stated, Standard Process Catalyn is not simply a multivitamin, but a blend of vitamin and nutrient-rich whole foods. These foods all contain specific nutrients our bodies need each day. These foods include: defatted wheat germ, carrot root, calcium lactate, nutritional yeast, bovine adrenal, bovine liver, magnesium citrate, bovine spleen, ovine spleen, bovine kidney, dried pea juice, dried alfalfa plant juice, oat flour, soybean lecithin and rice bran. There are 766 mg of these foods in each daily dose.
FDA Approval
Catalyn is regulated by the FDA, however, not directly. Being a dietary supplement, it is regulated through the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA).
