Vitamins & Supplements That I Take

Aside from rotating other supplements in and out on an as needed basis, the list below is what I take on a daily basis. Although individual needs will vary, these supplements represent a solid program and are extremely high quality and bioavailable. Links to them as well as other safe/non-toxic products I use can be found further below.

PERQUE Brand: PERQUE's unique formulations use only pure ingredients -- nothing wasted, such as non-absorbable nutrients; nothing to interfere with the full uptake nutrients into your cells, such as toxins from the production process, allergens from the extraction process, or preservatives. When comparing other brands to PERQUE, you can be confident in PERQUE’s superiority. This is why leading doctors and healthcare professionals select and use PERQUE. The lowest prices I have been able to find have been here: Vitamins Today.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis: With the enormous amounts of toxic metal in the environment and the widespread nutrient mineral insufficiencies of the modern western diet, assessing patients for element imbalances and excesses is an increasingly important tool in the diagnosis of chronic illness. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis of the hair can provide the healthcare provider with important insight into treatment strategies for conditions ranging from depression and behavior disorders to cardiovascular and neurological illnesses.

PhytoPharmica Brand

Pro-Gest: For the body to absorb and utilize nutrients, a healthy digestive system must properly break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats. All organs and glands involved in the digestive process must secrete adequate levels of enzymes or hormones to ensure healthy digestion. Pro-Gest, a food enzyme supplement, provides a high-potency blend of enzymes, pancreatic tissue, ox bile extract and niacin-amide. This product contains sufficient enzymes to digest 165 grams of protein, 100 grams of carbohydrates, and 60 grams of fat.

CoQ10: Supports heart health. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential component of the mitochondria, the energy-producing units of the cells. While CoQ10 is synthesized in the body, and in fact, is present in every cell, it is particularly important in muscle tissue - especially the heart?. Supplementing with higher dietary levels of CoQ10 can nutritionally support cardivascular health.

Postate Advantage (For Men): Dietary ingredients to nutritionally support prostate function. Saw Palmetto Complex contains the actual liposterolic (oil) extract of the saw palmetto berry standardized to contain 85 to 95 percent fatty acids and sterols-the level recommended by researchers. This formula also contains extracts of pumpkin seed, pygeum, and bearberry.

The complex is formed by combining one part Ginkgo biloba extract and two parts phosphatidylcholine in a patented method. Ginkgo Phytosome is the superior form of Ginkgo biloba because it is better absorbed, more stable, and transported to the target sites more efficiently.

Garden Of Life Brand

Garden Of Life, Goatein 440g, Goat-milk whey: Goat milk protein powder, the most digestive protein you can buy. Proteins are the building blocks of human life, essential for normal growth. Protein is 90 percent of the dry weight of blood, 80 percent of muscles, and 70 percent of the skin. Proteins provide the building blocks for connective tissue and are the primary constituents of enzymes, hormones and antibodies. They encompass many important chemicals including immunoglobulins and enzymes. In short, protein is the basic stuff of muscles, skin, bones, hair, heart, teeth, blood, brains, skin and the zillion biochemical activities going on in our bodies every minute. When we fail to consume adequate amounts of protein, the blood and tissues can become either too acidic or too alkaline. Lack of dietary protein can retard growth in children, and in adults can be a contributing factor in chronic fatigue, depression, slow wound healing, and decreased resistance to infection.

Garden Of Life, Primal Defense ULTRA (90 Caps): The ultimate high potency, broad-spectrum probiotic formula. Three capsules per day provide a 15 billion live cell count of 13 species of beneficial cultures including soil-based probiotics called Homeostatic™ Soil Organisms (HSOs). Probiotics are living microflora that play a critical role in maintaining good health. Present in many foods, live probiotic cultures populate the intestinal tract where they play a positive role in digestive and immune health. Probiotics maximize the benefits of a healthy diet by supporting normal absorption and assimilation of nutrients in the gut. Certain probiotic blends help support normal gastrointestinal balance of good and potentially harmful bacteria, and promote regualr bowel function.

Garden of Life Super Seed (600 grams): The role fiber plays in a healthy diet became startlingly apparent in the late 1800s, when processes for refining sugar and milling flour were introduced. As people began consuming new “wonder foods” void of dietary fiber, a theory was introduced connecting lack of fiber in the diet and overall health. Now that several generations have been raised on processed foods, up to 100 million Americans experience some form of occasional digestive discomfort. Super Seed® is a powerful whole food formula that is an excellent source of dietary fiber. The ingredients in Super Seed® were specifically chosen for their exceptional ability to support and maintain optimal bowel health and function.

Garden Of Life Coconut Cooking Oil: Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is among the healthiest, most versatile dietary oils in the world. An excellent cooking oil with its natural coconut flavor and aroma, we think it is simply the best tasting, most aromatic coconut oil on the planet.
