The Case for Supplementation with a Multi-Vitamin

Why Do I Need a Multi-Vitamin?

The majority of Americans do not have a good diet. According to the USDA, only 10% of Americans have a “good diet.” Americans have continually failed to meet the RDA for several key nutrients, including calcium, vitamin E, vitamin B6, magnesium, and zinc. Other research shows that more than half of all Americans consume significantly less than the recommended intake for calcium, chromium, copper, folic acid, vitamin B6 & vitamin E. The rest needs improvement. For example, only 17% of the people consumed the recommended number of servings of fruit per day. In short, we cannot get all of the nutrients that we need on a daily basis through consumption of healthy foods, let alone the average American diet.

Nutrition & supplementation affects susceptibility to disease. Every year there are: 14 million cases of preventable heart disease, 1.2 million preventable cases of cancer, more than half a million preventable strokes, and thousands of babies born with neural tube defects that could have been prevented with a simple vitamin. The best offense is a good defense. Supply your body with the nutrients it needs to build up its immune system, the real power to fight off any disease.

The soil has been depleted of all its nutrients. From 1909 to 1994, a 3-7% decrease of Vitamin B12, magnesium, zinc and potassium levels occurred in our food supply. Growing conditions, agricultural technologies and nutrient content of the soil can reduce some nutrients in some crops by as much as 20%. Food preparations and storage methods can decrease some nutrients by as much as 30%!

Who Should Take a Multi-Vitamin?

All adults should take a multi-vitamin whether active or not. In the Journal of American Medicine on June 19, 2002, they cited “…suboptimal intake of some vitamins is a risk factor for chronic diseases and common in the general population… Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone…it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.” The Council for Responsible Nutrition advocates “the regular use of multi-vitamins and a few other nutritional supplements can measurably improve the nutritional status and lifelong health of the American public.”

What Should I Look for in a Multi-Vitamin?

Therapeutic dosages. The recommended daily values (RDA) are reflective of the requirements to merely prevent deficiency diseases, not promote a healthy lifestyle. These RDAs do not take into the effects of lifestyle, stress, environment, pollution, or other nutritional needs associated with other disease processes. Increased intake levels of nutrients, above and beyond the RDA levels demonstrate a clear benefit in disease prevention, wellness, and vibrant good health, just to name a few.

Pharmaceutical grade and manufactured in a FDA registered lab. Despite popular belief, the FDA does not “approve” or “disapprove” vitamins and supplements. However, they do make unannounced quality control inspections to labs that are registered with the FDA. So choose a vitamin that’s been manufactured in a FDA registered lab and meets the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification. This is your best bet to ensure quality manufacturing has taken place on your vitamin. It’s your body. Make sure that you are only putting high quality nutrients into it so you get maximum performance out of it.

Time released for maximum absorption. The best absorption rates take place when the vitamin bypasses the stomach and slowly breaks down in the small intestine. This provides all the nutrients your body needs throughout the day instead of a surge at first then a crash later.

More natural and organic ingredients. Your body will have an easier time breaking down and utilizing minerals and nutrients that naturally exist in nature as opposed to synthetic compounds made in a lab. Ask a sewer technician how many un-dissolved vitamins he sees in his line of work or search for the “Dead Doctors Don’t Lie” story made popular by Joel Wallach.

Creating A Routine Just for You

How often have you heard someone – maybe even you – complain that they have gone on a diet, and even lost a bit of weight, but don’t think that they look any better and still don’t have a lot of energy? This is probably because even though they’ve stuck to their diet, they haven’t been exercising as well, which is extremely important if one really wants to lose weight.

If you’ve been on diets that didn’t work very well, maybe you weren’t getting enough exercise. So maybe you should try it just one more time? And this time, put a bit more effort into it and get some exercise. Create a special exercise routine for yourself, especially if you have particular areas of your body that you would like to work on.

Setting Up an Exercise Routine

If you aren’t used to exercising at all, you should start off with relatively simple exercises. Set aside a certain time period every day to do stationary exercises at home. And if you have an exercise bike or a treadmill, add it to your routine for a better cardiovascular workout, not to mention for strengthening and shaping up your legs and buttocks. You might even want to add in a few weight training exercises as well, to really get your muscles toned.

When creating your exercise routine, remember to include exercises that work all your muscles, and make sure that you’re able to do the movements properly. Don’t be too physically demanding at first, especially if you have physical limitations. You might want to find a trainer or other fitness professional to help you create your routine, especially if you are a beginner. This way, you’ll be certain that the exercises you are doing are going to benefit you and help tone up those problem areas on your body.

Make Your Exercise Routine a Part of Your Work Day

You may think that you don’t have enough time to exercise, but once you set up a routine that works for you, you should have no problem finding half an hour to an hour a day for exercising. And you can even create a routine that works around your schedule. If you’re a morning person, you can always get up an hour early to exercise. Or you can go to the gym on your lunch hour or even after work for an hour or two. If you work in an office building, instead of using the elevator, use the stairs for a great cardiovascular workout, especially if you have many flights to climb. Find ways to build exercise into your day.

One important part of your exercise routine should be stretching. You can even do this at your desk while you are at work. In fact, it’s often recommended that you take a few minutes every hour or so to do some stretches in order to avoid the risk of repetitive injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. You can do arm and back stretches while sitting in your chair, and if you have a little bit of space you can stand up and stretch out those legs.

If you’re a stay-at-home parent, there are plenty of ways to build an exercise routine into your daily activities. You can take your young children to the park in the morning and play tag and other games that involve running. Or, take your baby out for a stroll around the neighborhood. When your older kids get home from school, go out and play some basketball or soccer with them.

These are all great ways to get exercise, and because they are so much fun it won’t even seem like you’re exercising at all. You can even turn your housework into an exercise routine. Do deep knee bends and stretches while vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping. Reach high to clean windows and high shelves. Run up and down the stairs. Be creative and you will find all kinds of ways to exercise while doing housework, making it a lot more fun.

Make Good Nutrition a Part of Your Exercise Routine

But it’s not enough to exercise to lose weight. You need to follow a healthy diet too. You need to learn about nutrition, and why you need certain nutrients in your diet. For example, did you know that protein is necessary for the health, growth, and recovery of our muscles and other soft tissues, and that it provides a natural source of energy?

If you’re going to be dieting and exercising, you’ll need to make sure that you are getting plenty of low calorie, protein-rich foods in your diet to make sure your muscles are healthy and that you have enough energy to get through your day. You might even consider using protein supplements.

Understanding Supplements

The Supplement RX line is a group of pharmaceutical grade, market tested supplements. Each produce has been carefully formulated with individual components assayed for purity and potency in FDA approved labs. After the assure process, these raw materials are quarantined for two weeks and assayed again. Only then are these raw materials available for manufacturing. Supplement RX’s rigorous standards and manufacturing process bring superior quality products to the consumer.

We believe a wide variety of nutrients in optimum levels are critical to a healthy body.

So why supplements? Here are our six most compelling reasons:

  • Make up for what the diet is lacking
  • Help the body function at its highest level
  • Compensate for problems with food production (soil depletion, food irradiation,  environmental pollution, genetically modified foods)
  • Replenish nutrients destroyed by lifestyle choices (smoking, alcohol consumption)
  • Help the body cope with stress, as nutrients are depleted at a higher rate
  • Supply nutrients as the level of natural production decreases with age

According to a new survey by Ipsos-Public Affairs (NYC) for the Council for Responsible Nutrition, almost 80% of US physicians and over 90% of nurses recommend dietary supplements to their patients. Additionally, the stymy reports that 72% of physicians and 82% of nurses use supplements themselves. Steve Mister, CRN CEO, commented that this survey- a first for the industry- reveals the important part supplements play in a healthy lifestyle. Consumers who currently take supplements as part of their wellness routine can feel good about a vote of approval from this respected group of healthcare professionals. Consumers who have not considered the role of supplements may want to reconsider.

BASIC FOUNDATION

There are two systems that make up our “Basic Foundation Program.  This is not only our most popular seller but it is purchased at a rate of 3:1 between women and men.

Here is a brief explanation of the two systems:
This week we will focus on Basic Founation for men.
DAILY ESSENTIALS FOR MEN is a broad-spectrum multi-vitamin/mineral/antioxidant supplement. This custom formula for men, rich in nutrients, is designed to help the male body reach its maximum potential. The time-released feature assures that the water-soluble B Vitamins and Vitamin C will be delivered over a period of many hours.

Product Description:RX OILS

Supplement Rx uses organic flax seed oil for its source of Omega 3 in this Omega 3, 6, 9 complex supplement. This eliminates the possibility for mercury contamination in your Omega complex supplement. The Rx Oils is an important part of your Basic Foundation™ system that also includes the Daily Essentials Multi-Vitamin complex.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) play a critical role in the workings of a healthy body. Why are they “essential”? Because the body must have them to survive, but cannot synthesize them from any other substance, so a direct source is required. Taken in the right amounts and ratios, EFAs improve and maintain health in the following ways:

  1. INCREASE ENERGY PERFORMANCE AND STAMINA: help build muscle and prevent muscle breakdown, and accelerate fatigue recovery.
  2. STRENGTHEN BONES: help to prevent osteoporosis by aiding in the transport of minerals that keep bones and teeth strong.
  3. PROMOTE HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM FUNCTION: produce eicosanoids that regulate inflammatory and immune responses, lowering inflammation and slowing autoimmune damage (arthritis).
  4. AID IN WEIGHT LOSS: enhance thermogenesis. Recent data also suggests EFAs have been found to block fat producing genes.
  5. HELP MAINTAIN A HEALTHY HEART: lower high blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammation, and formation of clots.
  6. SPEED THE HEALING PROCESS: form cell membranes and are essential for cell growth and division.
  7. ENHANCE BRAIN FUNCTION: are necessary to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter essential to the entire nervous system. Mood and behavior disorders are linked to decreased levels of EFAs.
  8. PRODUCE HEALTHY HAIR, SOFT SKIN, AND STRONG NAILS: insufficient amounts of EFAs result in dull hair, dry skin, and brittle nails.

Uncovering the “Truth” about Protein Drinks

Nowadays, a lot of people are paying attention to what have been popping up in the lifestyle department of stores. Living a healthy life is very important, and thankfully people have started to realize this. One thing that has caught many people’s eyes over the years is protein shakes. But in a recent article by Consumer Reports “Alert: Protein Drinks” it mentioned the bad effects about protein drinks. This is some of the things they had to say: “Drinks in our tests had at least onesample containing one or more of the following contaminants: arsenic, cadmium,lead, and mercury.”

“Consumers who have three servings daily could be exposed to levels that exceed the maximum limits for one or two of those contaminants”

“The amount of lead in a single daily serving of eight of the protein supplements we tested would require that the product carry a warning in California.”

“Federal regulations do not generally require that protein drinks…be tested before they are sold to ensure that they are safe…manufacturers don’t comply…enforcement seems to be lax. Sometimes warnings appear only after lawsuits are filed.”

What was not mentioned is that not all protein products are the same, we care about you. Supplement Rx’s products are all tested thoroughly and regularly to make sure our products contain exactly what’s on the label and nothing else.
