Women's Daily Optimal
Daily Allowance

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. Cardiovascular disease decreased by 40%. Take this
in split dosages as it is secreted within a few hours. No toxicity 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) - 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 equiv
alent
of 400 I.U. in food would require 2 quarts of corn oil or 28 cups of peanuts
a day. Many in the fore front of anti-aging research are now recommending
up to 800 I.U. a day , especially for women in peri- or post-menopausal period.
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 selenium is associated
with higher incidence of heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.
Magnesium (Anti-Oxidant) - 500-1000 mg ( 125-250% RDA . 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 arrhythmias,
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 noticeable side effects at up to 10000 mcg.
Vitamin B12 - 100 mcg - 1,000 mcg (1666% - 16,666% 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 1,000 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 Israel 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 - 500 mg (50% RDA) in the form of calcium carbonate - Calcium
is important. 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 Citrate is better absorbed, but only contains
11% calcium. 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 - Eating 8 ounces of fish a week is all you need to
do. If not, then take 1000mg from fish oil to contain 360 mg EPA and 240
mg DHA. Most people taking fish oil has a tendency to develop a fishy "
burp". Over 60 research studies 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 Vitamin 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.
Evening
Primrose Oil - 500 mg-1000 mg (standardized to 9% GLA) - an essential fatty
acid. Strong anti-inflammatory properties and useful for arthritis, PMS, and
skin conditions. Most researches uses 3000-6000 mg a day. EPO is especially
good to balance the hormonal system.
Digestive Enzyme containing Lipase, cellulase, and amylase.
Avoid Iron unless
you are anemic.
IMPORTANT
Vitamin B1 (thiamine)- 100 mg (6666% RDA) - critical for mental function
and nerve cell growth. Non toxic and water soluble .
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) - 50 mg (2940% RDA) - required for cell growth
and release of energy, formation of red blood cell, and synthesis of antibodies.
Vitamin B3 (niacin) - 190 mg ( 950% RDA) in the form of niacin and niacinamide
- stabilizes cell membranes , ensure proper circulation and maintain healthy
skin. Aids in the function of the nervous system and helps to reduce cholesterol
Vitamin B5 (panthothenic acid) - 400 mg ( 4000% RDA) - a non toxic nutrient
needed to breakdown fat to covert into energy. An Anti-stress vitamin.
Vitamin B7 (biotin) - 300 mcg (100% RDA) - essential for protein, fat
and carbohydrate metabolism. Helps utilization of other B complex vitamins.
Iodine 150 mcg ( 100% RDA) - important to maintain proper thyroid function
Maganese 20 mg (1000% RDA) - trace mineral essential for protein and
fat metabolism
Molybdenum 50 mcg (66% RDA) - essential trace mineral for nitrogen metabolism
Potassium 99 mg - critical for normal cardiac rhythm
Boron 2 mg - enhance healthy bone and brain function and alertness
Silicon 2.4 mg - needed in formation of collagen and connective tissues
Vanadium 25 mcg - essential in formation of bone and teeth
L-Lysine 600 mg - an essential amino acid for proper growth in children
and protein synthesis in adult
Choline 200 mg - responsible for proper neurotransmitter function , lecithin
formation , liver function, and gall bladder regulation.
Inositol
100 mg - vital for hair growth and prevent hardening of arteries
PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) - basic constituent of many B complexes
