When choosing a multivitamin it is important to remember that not all supplements are created equal.

These 5 tips should help you in choosing the best multivitamin for you:

1) Study the “USP” number on the label. This number will indicate the percentage of the product that will dissolve after one hour in your stomach, the higher the percentage the better, it varies from product to product.

2) Make sure that the iron in your product is either ferrous fumarate or ferrous sulfate because they are the most absorbable.

3) For best absorbtion take your supplement with meals, on an empty stomach it may cause nausea.

4) Make sure to take your multivitamin with a meal that contains a little fat. Vitamins A, D, K and E need a little fat to be effectivley absorbed by your body.

5) Make sure that your supplement only provide 100% of the RDA.

It is still better to get your vitamins from fresh food, since it remains the perfect nutrient but seeing that we don’t live in a perfect world it is wise to supplement your diet with a good multivitamin.

Supplementing with vitamin D has many extremely important health benefits e.g. anti aging qualities, a combination of vitamin C and vitamin D is a very effective barrier against viral infections, vitamin D helps in the prevention of auto immune diseases, etc.

Recently, researchers found a link between inadequate vitamin D in large populations and sudden mass outbreaks of influenza and other viral diseases.5 They pointed out that adequate vitamin D “dramatically stimulates the expression of potent anti-microbial peptides, which exist in neutrophils, monocytes, natural killer cells and epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract, where they play a major role in protecting the lung from infection.”

It’s my opinion that avoiding sugar and refined carbohydrates, while taking in adequate vitamin D (from sunshine and supplements), ascorbic acid and whole foods will ultimately be found much more effective than vaccinations in preventing the flu.

If you’re a serious anti-aging enthusiast, 3,000 to 4,000IU of vitamin D daily should be just a starting point for finding out your individual optimum level. After using that amount for a few months, work with a physician skilled and knowledgeable in nutrition and natural medicine to have your serum calcium and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels checked.

Tropical levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (60 to 100 nanograms per millilitre) are considered both safe and optimal for the best of health, anti-aging and longevity. Serum calcium is a double-check on vitamin D safety, since taking too much vitamin D will cause your serum calcium to elevate.

If this happens, you should stop supplementing with vitamin D temporarily and use a lower level when you start taking it again even if the 25-hydroxyvitamin D level is at the optimal tropical level.

Vitamin D helps prevent auto immune diseases such as lupus, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. It also promotes healthy bones in children and adults, helps prevent and (if necessary) treat osteoporosis, effectively treats psoriasis (with topical vitamin D) and down-regulates a metabolic pathway that is directly involved in many cases of hypertension.

Research has also demonstrated an 80% reduction in new cases of childhood diabetes.

The benefits are incalculable because supplementing with vitamin D and vitamin C can add many healthy years to your life and give your children a healthy head start in life.

Another fact I’ve come to realize about diet is that is not so much what we eat that is the problem as it is what we don’t eat that has serious health repercussions.

So don’t be naughty take your vitamin D.

Revealing facts about a lack of vitamin D that you should know.

True we should all guard against too much sun that could cause skin cancer, the fact however remains that a lack of vitamin D has been proven to be a leading nutritional lack in many other cancer cases e.g. breast cancer and prostate cancer.

I’m sure most of you know by now how good vitamin D is for you and that the sun is the very best source of this nutrient. Study after study has shown that a lack of vitamin D is a direct cause of disease, disability and shorter life spans.

Unfortunately, a large majority of dermatologists and conventional medical practitioners are too crippled by heliophobia (Helios is Greek for “sun”, phobia is Greek for “exaggerated or irrational fear”) to pay any attention to this research.

It’s sad that most conventional medicine practitioners need to be reminded that humanity evolved (or was created) in tropical areas, wore very little clothing and had maximum exposure to sunlight. When people got too much sun, they knew it just as we do today so they found shade or covered their skin.

Back then, their blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D were almost certainly the same as those of frequently sun-exposed people living in tropical areas today 60 to 100 nanograms per milliliter.

By contrast, the large majority of individuals I help test for 25-hydroxyvitamin D usually have levels of 20 to 30 nanograms per milliliter. Even people who are specifically working on anti-ageing often don’t measure above 40 to 45 nanograms per milliliter.

Part of this could be because we don’t get much sunshine here in Seattle, but even physicians I know from Southern California and Arizona tell me their patients’ 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels average only 10 nanograms per milliliter higher than mine do in Washington.

How could this be possible? I think it all comes back to medically induced heliophobia, which has led to the use of irrational quantities of sunscreen and it’s all justified by the so-called “experts” on the basis of preventing skin cancer.

But better-informed experts, such as Professor Michael Holick, point out that for every one case of skin cancer prevented by application of heliophobia principles, there are between 20 and 30 more cases of breast and prostate cancer that are directly traceable to a lack of vitamin D.

The risks of developing colon cancers and others are also increased by a lack of vitamin D.

It is a blinding fact that most of our debilitating, killer diseases are as a direct result of our modern diet and lifestyle.

So if you are not able to spend 15 minutes a day in the sun without your shirt on the you most definitely should supplement your vitamin D intake.

A few weeks ago I did an article on stroke warning signs you should not ignore.

Today, we are going to look at 1 simple thing that you can do right away to prevent yourself from falling victim to this debilitating disease.

I was out getting groceries when a woman I had never seen before called out to me, “Dr. Sears, can I ask you a question?” Turns out, she had read a couple of my books and recognized me from my picture. Whenever this happens, I feel a bit embarrassed, but try to be helpful. After all, I have worked hard to get my message out … and here’s a person who’s paying attention.

Her question? “My mother had three strokes. Can you tell me how to prevent that from happening to me?”

When I asked her how much vitamin C she takes, she said, “I don’t have a cold. I’m worried about heart disease.” Yet, vitamin C plays a primary role in preventing heart attacks and strokes.

You can use vitamin C therapy to break open existing clogged arteries and repair lifelong damage to artery, vein, and capillary walls. Vitamin C increases the production of collagen, elastin, and other “reinforcement molecules” that support your blood vessels in the same way that iron rods support tall buildings. More collagen means more stability for your circulatory system.

When you lack Vitamin C, cracks and lesions form in the walls of your blood vessels. When blood vessels break down, arterial plaques fortify the weakness and “repair” the damage. But when these arterial plaques become too thick, they block the flow of blood. A lack of blood to the heart triggers a heart attack - and a lack of blood to the brain causes a stroke.

The government’s recommended daily intake of 75 to 120mg of vitamin C is clearly not enough. To reverse heart disease, I recommend increasing your daily intake to 3,000mg. Pregnant women should get at least 6,000mg per day, and in times of stress or sickness, you can take up to 20,000mg. A powdered form may be more convenient for larger doses. Just dissolve it in water and drink it down.

Researchers from UCLA conducted a 10-year study of over 11,000 adults between the ages of 25 and 74. They concluded that men who took (only) 800mg of ascorbic acid daily, lived six years longer than men who took only 60mg daily.

Higher quantities of ascorbic acid intake were also associated with greater longevity in women, although the effect wasn’t as strong.

Higher levels were found to reduce deaths from cardiovascular disease by 42% in men and 22% in women.

It is of great benefit to supplement with vitamins and minerals, get as much as possible naturally through your diet but seal the deal with supplementation.

There are numerous scientific studies to confirm the health benefits of vitamin C, do not let a stroke ruin your life and more importantly the lives of your loved one’s.

P.S. It has been found that vitamin C powder is more effective and better absorbed than tablets, a dosages of 1000mg daily is necessary to get optimum benefit from this supplementation. Where yo buy?
