If could only take Five Supplements
If I could only take five supplements, what would they be?” There would only be one box(Vitalizer Strips)
I only had room for five supplements per day, so they had to be the really important ones.
So here they are. By the way… these are also the ones I recommend you begin with if you’re just starting out — or the ones you can cut back to if you need to save money. Anyway, here goes…
1. A high-quality multi-vitamin (Try Vitalizer)
Topping the list is an excellent quality multi-vitamin. This is essential because a multi “fills in the blanks” of your diet (no matter how good it is), so you’re not running dangerously low on the essential nutrients your body needs for optimal functioning.
Be sure to avoid the TV-advertised one-a-days you find in your local drugstore. These are nearly worthless because their ingredients are based on the “bare minimum” official Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), now upgraded to the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI).
The RDA evolved from the old Minimum Daily Requirement (MDR) set by the government. This means the nutrients in most of the popular multis contain the minimum doses necessary to prevent nutritional -deficiency diseases, such as scurvy (vitamin C), beriberi (vitamin B1), and others. This certainly is not how to guarantee optimal health.
These mainstream multis are notoriously feeble. For example, Consumer Reports recently concluded that Centrum is the worst vitamin for seniors in its class. (There goes that advertising revenue!)
Consumer Reports also found that The Vitamin Shoppe’s One Daily failed to dissolve in a simulated stomach environment, while containing less vitamin A than its label claims.
You can avoid this pitfall by sticking to high-quality, bioavailable multivitamins that are reasonably priced and lab-tested. One of my favorites is Vitalizer , formulated by Shaklee Corps. It’s a terrific multi that contains a broad list of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and enzymes that easily are absorbed and quickly bioavailable. This is the multinourishing my body anywhere.
2. A quality omega-3 supplement (Vitalizer)
Fish oil is today’s bestselling supplement — and with good reason. The EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in omega-3 fish oil have profoundly positive effects on human health.
DHA slows your liver’s production of undesirable triglycerides, making it extremely protective against heart disease and diabetes.
In addition, fish oil is incredibly effective at reducing inflammation. It accomplishes this by triggering the release of prostaglandins (natural substances that regulate immunity, inflammation, blood clotting, brain function, plus a host of other essential functions).
There’s not enough room here to list all the healing effects of omega-3. The highlights include: Healing blood vessel walls … keeping the blood thin (thus minimizing clotting) flowing smoothly … lowering blood pressure … stabilizing blood sugar … and brightening your mood.
The American Heart Association recommends a daily dose of 500-1,000 mg of DHA and EPA from fish oil to reduce heart disease — but I think this is a paltry dose. I prefer to take 6,000 to 9,000 iu daily in three equal doses — and find this really helps my arthritis.
There’s just one problem. The huge demand for fish oil is wreaking havoc on marine life. Overfishing is depleting fish stocks and the oceans are on the brink of crisis.
Even oils extracted from krill (tiny, omega-3-rich crustaceans) are troublesome. That’s because krill are at the bottom of the ocean’s food chain — and larger fish depend upon them for life. Harvesting krill deprives all fish of their main food supply.
This is why I prefer to get my omega-3 from marine phytoplankton (also known as “micro algae”) these days.
Phytoplankton is the plant-based omega-3 food source that supplies krill and other fish with EPA and DHA. Raised in large, land-based tanks, phytoplankton is free of mercury contaminants, heavy metals, and ocean pollution. Its good stuff — and you’re not depriving fish of their food supply.
3. Co-enzyme Q-10
CoQ-10 (also known as ubiquinol) is a nutrient produced by the “energy factories” in your cells called mitochondria. Taking a CoQ-10 supplement boosts the way your cells produce and use energy. It also helps your body burn fat … improves cholesterol ratios … boosts your physical energy levels … and improves thyroid and pancreas functions.
By the way, statins — the widely — (or is it “wildly”?) prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs — actually deplete your body’s natural CoQ-10. Statins block production of cholesterol in the liver, where CoQ-10 is also manufactured. Without sufficient CoQ-10, statins can cause liver damage … irregular heartbeat … muscle weakness … leg cramps … heart attack and stroke (the two potentially fatal conditions that statins are supposed to prevent).
Other medications also can limit your body’s production of CoQ-10, including: Diabetes drugs … antidepressants … female hormone replacement therapy … and blood pressure meds. If you take any of these, you definitely need to supplement with CoQ-10.
When shopping, labels may read “CoQ-10” or “Coenzyme Q-10”, but the more active form will be labeled “QH” or “ubiquinol.” This is a stronger form of CoQ-10, though purchasing that version isn’t essential, especially if price is an issue. Take 100 mg two or three times twice per day, because your body can’t metabolize higher doses.
4. Magnesium citrate
You’ve been hearing about calcium and bone health forever — but did you know that magnesium and calcium are like conjoined twins? Calcium can’t even be absorbed unless magnesium is present. Without it, calcium is much less effective in maintaining your bones and regulating your nerve and muscle tone.
In fact, new research shows that Americans need far more magnesium than the current RDI — and that you should really be consuming twice as much magnesium as calcium for optimal health.
Magnesium may be the most important mineral you can take because it’s a key player in 300 essential bodily functions, and is used by all of your organs. It activates enzymes … powers your energy … and helps your body absorb vitamin D, potassium, and zinc.
The majority of Americans are magnesium-deficient due to the low-quality, processed foods in the typical American diet. Produce grown in mineral-depleted soil won’t provide much magnesium, either.
If you have blood sugar issues, you should know that magnesium helps regulate blood sugar and insulin activity. In addition, magnesium’s ability to relax muscles and nerves makes it one of your best allies in the battle against anxiety … hypertension … restless leg syndrome … sleep disorders … and abnormal heart rhythm.
Consuming magnesium supplements can be challenging, as they tend to be large and difficult to digest. Start with a low dose, because it can loosen your stools (not necessarily a bad thing if constipation is a problem).
5. Sunshine vitamin D (Shaklee D3 Quiz)
This is rapidly becoming the miracle vitamin of our time. Every week, it seems, there’s a new finding about D’s marvelous benefits. Most Americans are badly deficient in vitamin D because doctors consider the sun our enemy — and your skin converts solar rays into this essential vitamin.
Numerous studies show that this amazing vitamin is protective against all cancers (even skin cancer and melanoma!) … strengthens bones … prevents and even heals diabetes … protects against heart disease … lowers blood pressure … reverses depression … and elevates mood.
Whenever you can, spend 10-20 minutes sunbathing — without sunscreen. (Your body transforms sunshine into all the vitamin D it needs.) If your access to sunlight is limited by season or geographic location, take 2,000-5,000 iu of a good quality vitamin D supplement daily. (The elderly and African-Americans need higher doses.) Official recommendations call for a scant 600 iu, which is far too low. Just make sure you purchase vitamin D3 (not D2) because the D3 form is 87% more potent than vitamin D2.
No more “supplement overwhelm”
Taking these five supplements should cover all the important bases and provide your body with optimal nutrition (provided you’re eating a healthy diet).
Now I’d like to hear from you. Do you have a favorite supplement that I’ve missed? Do you have a story about how a particular supplement or herbal remedy turned your health around?
Please share whatever’s on your mind
about nutritional supplements here so we can all benefit from your
experience.

New Law Could Empty Vitamins Aisle...
Do you take your daily multi, or at least make it an intention? That option
might become a lot more complicated in the near future.
The FDA, which regulates foods and drugs
in the US, has turned its focus on nutritional supplements — and its proposed
criteria will leave very few supplements standing.

Supreme Court decision on GMO Alfalfa a victory for Center for Food Safety and farmers
I found this and thought that everyone should know what is going on with our food.
The United States Supreme Court announced its decision today in Monsanto v. Geerston Farms, the first genetically modified crop case ever brought before the Supreme Court. Although the High Court decision reverses parts of the lower courts’ rulings, the judgment holds that the ban on planting Roundup Ready Alfalfa still stands until and unless future deregulation by the Agency occurs. This is a major victory for the Center for Food Safety and the Farmers and Consumers it represents!
In the majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, the Court held: “In sum…the vacatur of APHIS’s deregulation decision means that virtually no RRA (Roundup Ready Alfalfa) can be grown or sold until such time as a new deregulation decision is in place, and we also know that any party aggrieved by a hypothetical future deregulation decision will have ample opportunity to challenge it, and to seek appropriate preliminary relief, if and when such a decision is made.” (Opinion at p. 22).
The Court also held that:
- Any further attempt to commercialize RRA even in part may require an EIS subject to legal challenge.
- The Court further recognized that the threat of transgenic contamination is harmful and onerous to organic and conventional farmers and that the injury allows them to challenge future biotech crop commercializations in court.
USDA indicated at the Supreme Court argument that full deregulation is about a year away and that they will not pursue a partial deregulation in the interim. Any new attempt at deregulation in full or part will still be subject to legal challenge.
Many of you may have read press this morning reporting that the 7-1 decision announced by the Supreme Court today went entirely in Monsanto's favor. Not to our surprise, Monsanto’s PR machine is working hard to overpower the truth in today's decision in the first-ever Supreme Court case on genetically engineered crops (Monsanto Co. v. Geertson Seed Farms). While the decision is complicated, this Court opinion is in many ways a victory for CFS and a defeat against Monsanto—especially given that it is still illegal to sell or plant GMO alfalfa.
CFS’s Executive Director, Andrew Kimbrell authored an article in today's Huffington Post
Despite what Monsanto is claiming—and what many mainstream media outlets reported earlier this morning—today’s ruling isn’t even close to the victory they were hoping for. Generally speaking, Monsanto asked the Supreme Court to rule on three main issues: (1) to lift the injunction on GMO alfalfa; (2) to allow the planting and sale of GMO alfalfa; (3) to rule that contamination from GMO crops not be considered irreparable harm.
In fact, the court only ruled on the first request which it did affirm by stating that the injunction was overly broad and should be overturned. However, the Court ruled in CFS's favor on the other two issues, which in many ways are more important as the fact remains that the planting and sale of GMO alfalfa remains illegal. The Supreme Court ruled that an injunction against planting was simply unnecessary since, under lower courts’ rulings, Roundup Ready Alfalfa became a regulated item and illegal to plant. In other words, the injunction was “overkill’ because our victory in lower federal court determined that USDA violated the National Environmental Protection Act and other environmental laws when it approved Roundup Ready alfalfa. The court felt that voiding the USDA’s decision to make the crop legally available for sale was enough.
The Center is victorious in this case in several other ways: most importantly, the High Court did not rule on several arguments presented by Monsanto about the application of federal environmental law. As a result, the Court did not make any ruling that could have been hurtful to National Environmental Policy Act or any other environmental laws. In addition, the Court opinion supported the Center’s argument that gene flow is a serious environmental and economic threat. This means that genetic contamination from GMOs can still be considered harm under the law, both from an environmental and economic perspective, another huge victory for CFS.
We could not have gone all the way to the Supreme Court without your support—thank you!Your letters, phone calls and donations have been invaluable in the efforts to ban GE alfalfa. We will keep you updated on any Agency attempts to deregulate GE alfalfa and on the ongoing EIS process. In the meantime, if you have not already done so, please take a moment to contact your Congressional representatives and ask them to sign the “Dear Colleague” letter circulating in the U.S. House and Senate urging USDA to ban GE alfalfa.

What we see we Eat
Fast Fact of the Week (New Feature): 60% of Americans
think that they are getting enough whole grains in
their diet, but only 5% actually are.
think that they are getting enough whole grains in
their diet, but only 5% actually are.
peer-reviewed scientific journals. But, occasionally I
come across an article in the popular literature that I
just can't resist sharing with you.
The article "Under the Influence" in the May 2011 issue
of Nutrition Action is a perfect example.
It is an interview with Dr. Brian Wansink, who has
devoted his career to studying how external clues
influence our eating patterns.
Here are some examples of his studies:
- He gave moviegoers who had just eaten dinner either a
big bag or a small bag of stale popcorn. Those given
the big bag ate 34% more.
- He put clear glass dishes of candy either on a
secretaries desk or 6 feet away on a cabinet. The
secretaries consumed 125 more calories from candy when
it was on their desk.
- He was asked to consult for a cafeteria serving
health food because they weren't attracting enough
customers. He just advised them to change the names of
their menu items (eg "Succulent Tuscany Pasta" instead
of "Italian Pasta"). Sales increased by 27%.
- When he used a refillable soup bowl (it never goes
below half full) people ate 73% more soup than those
given a regular bowl of soup. When he asked the people
with the refillable bowl if they were full, they
replied "How could I be. I only ate half a bowl of
soup".
- When he took a batch of trail mix and labeled some as
"low fat" and some as "regular" people ate 21% to 46%
more calories of the "low fat" trail mix.
- When he showed people an Italian sandwich and told
them that it was from either "Jim's Hearty Sandwich
Shop" or from "Good Karma Healthy Foods", people
estimated the calories as 24% lower if they thought it
came from Good Karma.
- When he took students on a walk around a lake before
dinner, they ate more calories at dinner if they were
told that it was an exercise walk than if they were
told that it was a sight-seeing walk - and most of the
extra calories came from dessert.
And the fascinating thing is that it doesn't matter how
intelligent or well informed you are.
- He did a study with 60 graduate students. Just before
winter break he gave them a lecture on external eating
cues in which he specifically told them that they would
eat more from a big bowl of Chex Mix than from a small
bowl. The students then spent 90 minutes in small group
exercises designed to show them how to overcome
external eating cues.
After winter break he invited those same students to a
Super Bowl party in which he divided them into two
rooms and gave them, you guessed it, either large or
small bowls of Chex Mix. The ones given the large bowls
ate 53% more!
- He gave the same lecture to a meeting of The American
Diabetes Association (Those are the experts) and then
repeated the same experiment with them - and they still
ate more from the large bowls.
So now you know that overeating is mindlessly dependent
on external eating cues, AND that you can't avoid being
influenced by those external clues even if you are
intelligent and motivated!
So what can you do?
Dr. Wansink recommends planning ahead.
- Serve your food on small plates and don't leave food
lying around where you can see it or get to it easily.
- If you bring home a box or bag of snack food
(hopefully healthy snack food), divide it up into
healthy portion sizes as soon as you bring it home.
- Put the healthy food choices in the front of your
refrigerator or cupboard where you will see them easily
and hide the unhealthy foods in the back (or don't
bring them home to begin with).
To Your Health!
Dr. Stephen Chaney
