In today’s world, with the extra demands stress, processed foods and exposure to toxins place on our bodies, it has become quite difficult to obtain all the nutrients necessary for vibrant health from our diets alone. Taking a high quality, comprehensive multi vitamin & mineral supplement provides the extra insurance that we will receive the various nutrients necessary for achieving and maintaining great health, vitality and longevity!Consuming a diet high in Omega 6’s (from vegetable oils) and low in Omega 3’s (from fish oil) can lead to inflammation, hypertension, irritation of the GI tract, decreased immunity, weight gain and cancer. For optimal health, a ratio of 1:1 (between Omega 6’s to Omega 3) is considered optimal. Nutritionist’s Choice FO Max is a high quality concentrated source of Omega 3’s (EPA and DHA), and it is screened carefully for mercury.Recent studies have shown that those with Vitamin D levels above 50 have decreased incidence of dementia, heart disease and cancer. Since many of us do not get adequate sun exposure (and when we do, we lather up with sunscreen), it’s common to test low in Vitamin D. Many integrative MDs recommend getting your blood level checked. If the level is below 50 they typically suggest taking a daily supplement ranging from 2000IUs to 5000IUs and then having it rechecked after a few months. Nutritionist’s Choice D3 has 5000 IUs per cap.Probiotics may be the single most important supplement to take in supporting the health of the GI tract. They not only crowd out bad organisms such as yeast and nasty bacteria, they also increase immune function, can help protect against food poisoning, help eliminate toxins (including heavy metals) synthesize B vitamins, regulate bowel movements and limit bacteria that produce cancer causing nitrates. Protecting the gut (which is where 80% of the mood stabilizing neurotransmitter Serotonin is manufactured and where 80% of the immune system is headquartered) is key to our neurological, immunological and gastrointestinal health. Nutritionist’s Choice Pro Bio (probiotics) has multiple strains for viable organisms and has 10 billion CFU’s per capsule.Nutritionist’s Choice Prenatal Formula focuses on several key nutritional needs of pregnant women often overlooked in other formulas. It provides a full complement of essential vitamins and minerals in well absorbed, well-tolerated forms and includes extra vitamin D (2,000 IU) to meet increased needs for fetal growth, bone development, and other essential functions.
