Dear Health Conscious Reader,
I was doing research on the heart recently when I came across a report published by a cardiovascular clinic. They found that Americans are now so deficient in vitamin D we’re suffering in a way I’m not even allowed to tell you about here.1
Meanwhile, the modern health industry insists you stay out of the sun even though sunlight is nature’s way of creating vitamin D in your body. They claim modern farming is growing nutritious crops even though crops from big farms have far fewer nutrients than we used to get in our produce.
And the FDA is telling you its daily values for nutrients are good enough. Even though a recent study shows the FDA’s recommended intake of vitamin D has been way too low for far too long.2
The sad part is, even though people are suffering from a dangerous lack of vitamin D, it’s far from the only vitamin Americans aren’t getting.
Over the years, studies have shown that what we get from the food industry isn’t giving us the nutrients we need.
- 25% of Americans get nowhere near enough vitamins A, E, and C, and magnesium.3
- One study showed that folate and B-12 deficiency can affect brain function.4*
- A study published in the journal Hematologica came to the remarkable conclusion that vitamin B deficiency is more common in this country than you might think. In fact, the journal recommends that people with less-than-optimal neurological health and intestinal health should be checked for vitamin B deficiency.5*
- We’re not sure how much selenium we’re getting from our produce and cattle. It varies even in areas with a lot of selenium in the soil.6 Selenium is an essential mineral that helps you maintain healthy thyroid function, immune function and mood.7* Not only that, but selenium helps protect you against glutamates, the unwanted chemical in nearly all “diet” foods and soft drinks.8*
And the major vitamin makers aren’t necessarily giving you what you need, either.
I think multivitamins are a good idea, in general. But in my opinion, most of the multivitamins I’ve seen in my research contain few if any of the vitamins and minerals you need most.
If you’re over age 50, your “one-a-day” may leave you deficient in magnesium. And it may not get you enough vitamins A, B-6, B-12, C, E, folate, iron and zinc, either.9
But it’s not just a matter of vitamins. Your body needs critical nutrients together with the vitamins for your body to properly absorb them.
That’s why I’ve formulated my own multivitamin. I call it Daily Power. Just three tablets a day gives you the exact daily dosage of the 39 important vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds I recommend for optimal health.
- You ideally require 40 mg daily of vitamin B6 for optimal brain function and immune system support.* That’s 20 times the amount you get taking one leading supermarket’s multivitamin.
- Selenium is critical to your thyroid and your antioxidant defenses.* But one major-brand’s multivitamin has less than half the bare minimum your body needs. I’ve put a full 200 mcg in Daily Power.
- Low chromium levels can affect your metabolism. And studies show that supplementing with chromium helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.* My new multivitamin gives you the 200 mcg of chromium you need each day.
- Iodine deficiency is the leading cause of goiter worldwide.10 I tell my patients to supplement with 150 mcg of iodine daily – the precise amount you’ll find in my new multi-vitamin formula.
- The 60 mg of grape-seed extract in my formula can strengthen blood vessels and may help maintain healthy blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range.* But several best-selling multivitamins are missing this important ingredient.
- Lutein not only supports your eyes’ natural defenses, but also helps your heart and may serve an important role in supporting normal cell growth and activity in a number of your body’s organ systems.* With my new multivitamin, you get 1,045 mcg of lutein daily – over 174 times more than one leading mail order multivitamin gives you.
- I recommend my patients take 20,000 IU of vitamin A. But one best-selling multivitamin that we examined contains just one-sixth that amount.
- Your body also needs 200 mcg per day of copper. Many multivitamins contain a fraction of that daily requirement.*
- I also tell my patients to take 90 mcg daily of vitamin K. But one of the leading anti-aging multivitamins doesn’t contain even a single molecule of this important vitamin.
To duplicate my new multi-vitamin formula on your own, you’d probably have to buy dozens of individual vitamins and other supplements. It could cost you a lot of money – not to mention cutting and counting out all those pills. And could you really measure dosages of 39 separate ingredients that accurately in your kitchen?
With my anti-aging formula, you get the same multivitamin I take.* The same multivitamin I recommend to all my patients. The precise blend and daily dosages of each of the 39 vitamins, minerals and other bioactive compounds that I recommend to attain and maintain optimal health.*
And you get it by taking just three tablets a day. With one leading competing brand – which, by the way, doesn’t follow my recommended dosages at all – you’d have to swallow 14 capsules every day. That’s a lot of pills to choke down.
Right now, you can get a bottle of my new multi-vitamin formula – a 30-day supply – sent directly to your door.
