VERY IMPORTANT
Vitamin A (Anti-Oxidant) - 15000 I.U. ( 300% RDA) with no more than 5000 I.U. in Vitamin A palimtate and the rest in natural mixed beta carotene. You will not get overdosed or have toxic effects . More than 100 studies have shown that people with high levels of beta carotene in their diet have half as likely the chance of developing cancer and heart attack
Vitamin C - (Anti-Oxidant) - 1000 mg ( 2000% RDA) in the form of Ascobic Acid ( no need to spend more money on other forms unless you have a sensitive stomach or taking more than 2000-3000 mg per day). A study of Americans show that intake of 300 mg of vitamin C per day adds 6 years to a man's life and 2 years to a woman's life. Cardiovasular disease decreased by 40%. Take this in split dosages as it is secreted within a few hours. No toxicitiy has been reported on long term intake of up to 20,000 mg a day. It is important to incorporate Ascobyl Palmitate ( the fat soluable form of vitamin C) , L-proline, and L-lysine. The three work synergistically to rebuilt damaged blood vessels and prevent arthrosclerosis.
Vitamin E - (Anti-Oxidant) - 300-400 I.U. (1333% RDA) in the form of water dispersible
d-alpha tocopherol ( the natural form) . This amount has been shown in repeated researches to be the
optimum dose for anti-aging and cancer prevention. The risk of not taking
Vitamin E is statistically equivalent to the risk of smoking . A large scale
Harvard study of 87,000 nurses showed that those taking more than 250 I.U. a
day for 2 years have 41% lower incidence of major heart disease . To take the
equivalent of 400 I.U. in food would require 2 quarts of corn oil or 28 cups of
peanuts a day. Vitamin E has a hormonal balance effect that is important to
female. Males do not need as much. Selenium - (Anti-Oxidant)- 200 mcg ( 285 % RDA) in amino acid complex forms to enhance absorption. Selenium is a strong anti-oxidant and the level in our body falls with age. People with decreased levels of selenim is associated with higher incidence of heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.
Magnesium - (Anti-Oxidant) - 300-600 mg ( 125% RDA) in chelated form for better absorption. Less than 25% of Americans meet even the low RDA standard. A 2000 kcal diet is needed if no supplement is taken. Critical for proper heart function, normalize arrhythmia, and helps to reduce blood pressure. Requirement is higher if you take intake of sugar and fat is high in diet. The calcium to magnesium ratio should be between 1:1 to 1:2.
Vitamin B9 - (folic acid) - 800 mcg ( 200% RDA) - a non-toxic nutrient that protects our chromosome from DNA damage and cancer. A Harvard study of 16000 women and 9500 men showed that those getting the post folic acid has the lowest incidence of getting pre-cancerous polyps in the colon. Folic Acid also helps with depression . No noticable side effects at up to 10000 mcg.
Vitamin B12 - 100 - 1,000 mcg (1666% RDA) - over 24% of people over 60 years old and over 40% of people over 80 years old are deficient due to decreased absorption with age. Deficiency also causes Alzheimer's Disease like symptoms. A must take for those over 50 years old as cheap and added insurance. Non toxic at 1000 mcg daily for many years or up to 100,000 mcg in a single dose.
Chromium - 200 mcg (166% RDA) in chelated form for better absorption - Very little is contained in food and as a result , 90% of all Americans are deficient in the RDA of this trace element which is critical to normalize blood sugar. A Isreal research shows that daily intake of 200 mcg of chromium improves insulin resistance in Type II Diabetes by up to 50 % in weeks.
Zinc - 30 mg ( 200% RDA) in chelated form for better absorption - 33% of healthy Americans over age 50 has zinc deficiency and don't know it. The percentage increase to 90% for those older . You need a daily calorie intake of 2400 kcal to get just the RDA . Zinc is critical for proper thymus gland and immune system function. Research has shown that daily intake of 30 mg of zinc reactive the immune system with dramatic improvements after 6 months in those with zinc deficiency.
Calcium - 300-500 mg (30-50% RDA) in the form of calcium carbonate . In addition to keeping our bones healthy, calcium also fights cancer. Calcium carbonate contains 40% calcium , compare to others such as calcium gluconate which contain 9% elemental calcium. Don't take more than 500 mg at a time for best absorption. . Calcium should be balanced with Magnesium at 1:1 or 1:2 ratio.
Citrus Bioflavonoids - 100 mg - potent anti-oxidants derived from plants that have metal binding (chelating) properties. Commonly found in grape seed.
Omega 3 Fatty Acid - Not needed if you take 8 oz of fish a week. Otherwise 2,000-3,000 mg of fish oil ( each 1000 mg to contain 360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA) may be considered. Most people taking fish oil has a tendency to develop a fishy " burp". Over 60 research studies ( most using 3,000 of fish oil a day) have shown that a variety of ailments from arthritis to heart disease can benefit from fish oil ( not cod live oil which contains high dose of Vit A and D which is toxic ) . 400 I.U. of Vitamin E should be taken simultaneously to potentiate the effect of fish oil.
Garlic - 500 mg in concentrated form - equivalent to 1250 mg garlic bulk or half a
clove of fresh garlic. Garlic has been used by healers for over 5000 years .
Numerous studies have shown that garlic decrease triglyceride level by
decreasing fat absorption. It also supports healthy blood pressure. Two of
garlic's major compounds - allicin and ajoene - have been found to possess
powerful actions that help the body boost its immune power. A natural herb that
is non toxic. Saw Palmetto -160-320 mg -Saw palmetto is a small palm tree native to the West Indies and the Atlantic coast of North America. The active component helps maintain healthy levels of dihydrotestosterone ( DHT) in the prostate, and promote proper excretion of DHT from the prostate. Research have shown that 80% of all male will be afflicted with prostate enlargement , a common condition that is also a leading cause of prostate cancer, by the time a man is 80 years old. 1/3 of all male above 35 years old already have a predisposition to precanceous prostate lesions, and 50% of all male at age 50 have enlarged prostate.
