In addition to a healthy diet, Drs. Ezgur and DiDomenico recommend taking "Multigenics" multiple vitamin/mineral.
Potential benefits of a quality multiple vitamin/mineral:
- Reduce your risk of disease including: cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
- Recover faster from colds, flus, and other infections
- Heal quicker from injuries, sprains, and strains
- Feel more energetic, get better sleep, and improve physical/athletic performance
Why diet alone may not be enough:
- If you're not eating the perfect diet
- If you eat junk food, processed food, fatty food, or sugary snacks
- If you consume alcohol or smoke
- If you use prescription drugs
- If you are under increased stress
- If you engage in strenuous exercise
- We are all subject to environmental toxins, pollutants, and nutrient-depleted soil
Why the RDA's are not adequate:
- Most of the current scientific literature recommends doses much higher than the RDA's for optimal
health and prevention of disease. Why the popular "drug store" multiples are inferior:
- You get what you pay for: most of these products are just plain cheap
- Most contain doses up to the level of RDA's, which is not high enough
- Most contain artificial fillers, preservatives, dyes, allergens, etc.
- Most do not have the proper ratios and balance of key nutrients
- Most are missing certain key nutrients altogether
- Most contain cheap forms of nutrients which lead to poor absorption and low bio-availablity
- Many contain iron, which is harmful and potentially toxic, if you're not anemic
Why multigenics is recommended:
- Comprehensive,safe, pure, iron-free formula, based on current scientific literature
- High levels of key nutrients in proper balance and ratios
- Quality form of nutrients for optimal absorption and bioavailability
- A good value for the money – (doesn't contain unnecessary "designer" herbs which are often found in doses too low to be effective, but enough to jack-up the price)
Dose schedule:
- 1 pill at breakfast and 1 pill at dinner, and 1-2 pills at lunch, for a total of 3-4 pills per day.
- Always take within 1-2 hours of eating food. If skipping a meal, it's OK to take 2-3 pills at once, but it's best to space the pills out over the course of the day. This is true of all multiples, because many of the water-soluble nutrients like vitamin C only remain in the bloodstream for 4-6 hours.
