In this episode, we highlight the stomach's role in vitamin B12 absorption and bioavailability, detailing the cellular composition of the gastric mucosa and further highlighting mucous cells, parietal cells, and chief cells. We also briefly discuss Helicobacter pylori and common symptoms, while detailing H. pylori's survival mechanisms in the acidic gastric environment as well as potential impacts on the gastric mucosal barrier. Topics:1. Introduction- Overview of the stomach's role in B12 absorption- Helicobacter pylori 2. H. pylori Overview- Gram-negative bacterium, can colonize the stomach lining- Many individuals remain asymptomatic- Symptoms - Can contribute to gastritis and peptic ulcers- Produces urease, hydrolyzes urea into ammonia (NH₃) andcarbon dioxide (CO₂)- Ammonia neutralizes stomach acid locally, protective microenvironment- H. pylori damages the mucosal barrier and contributes to persistence- Possesses additional virulence factors 3. Gastric Anatomy - Stomach is divided into the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus- The gastric mucosa - The epithelial lining; mucous cells, parietal cells, chief cells, and more 4. Mucous Cells and Mucosal Protection - Line the gastric pits and secrete thick, viscous mucus- Mucus composed of water, mucin glycoproteins, and other low-molecular-weight molecules- Traps bicarbonate ions (HCO₃⁻)- Shields the stomach lining 5. Parietal Cells - Located in the gastric glands, predominantly in the fundus and body- Secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl)- Secrete intrinsic factor (IF) 6. Vitamin B12 Overview - Cobalamin: DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, neurological function, methylation, and more- Methylcobalamin and 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin- Non-active forms include hydroxocobalamin and synthetic cyanocobalamin 7. Vitamin B12 Absorption Pathway - B12 is released from proteins by HCl and pepsin- Binds first to haptocorrin- In the small intestine, pancreatic enzymes degrade haptocorrin- B12 binds intrinsic factor - Absorption in the ileum - Impairment 8. Chief Cells - Located in the gastric glands- Secrete pepsinogen, activated by acid into pepsin- Also secrete gastric lipase 9. Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) - Secreted by parietal cells- Denatures dietary proteins and activates pepsinogen- Acts as a defense mechanism by aiding in sterilizing ingested food 10. Relevance of H. pylori - Produces urease that breaks down urea into NH₃ and CO₂- Ammonia neutralizes acid locally, forming a protective “bubble”- Enhances mucosal damage and microbial persistence 11. B12 Absorption - Multiple factors and root causes can impair absorption- H. pylori 12. Hypochlorhydria - Symptoms- Absorption: vitamin B12, iron, calcium, magnesium, more- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) 13.

In this podcast, the importance of vitamin B12 as an essential nutrient is highlighted. Many people are deficient in this vitamin, which can lead to various health issues. It is crucial to choose the right form of B12, such as methylcobalamin or hydroxycobalamin, and avoid inferior forms like cyanocobalamin. Nurse Doza recommends taking a daily multivitamin, like their Boost product, which contains a substantial amount of B12 to maintain sufficient levels. For the best forms of all vitamins, visit mswnutrition.com/?ref=nursedoza
Let's talk about the first sign of methylcobalamin deficiency. Methylcobalamin is vitamin B12, and it's essential for DNA, red blood cells, and your myelin sheath. Vitamin B12 also helps support your spinal column and brain. If you're deficient in vitamin B12, you could experience tingling, numbness, or burning sensations. Other signs of vitamin B12 deficiency can include: • Chronic pain • Depression • Muscle wasting • Blurry vision • Tinnitus • Anemia • Mouth ulcers • Sore throat • Hair loss You could also experience symptoms if you have too much vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 toxicity will typically occur if you're taking too much synthetic vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)—not the natural version (methylcobalamin). Cyanocobalamin can build up in the body and cause symptoms such as: • Acne • Palpitations • Anxiety • Red cheeks • Headaches • Insomnia • Akathisia • Suicidal thoughts You could be deficient in vitamin B12 long before you start to feel any effects. But that doesn't mean that there isn't damage being done. One of the first symptoms you would eventually feel is extreme fatigue. Foods high in vitamin B12 are animal products. There is no vitamin B12 in plants. Top causes of vitamin B12 deficiency: • Malabsorption • Plant-based or vegan diets • Gastric bypass • Atrophy of the stomach • Gastritis • H. pylori infection • Ulcers • Inflammation in the intestines • Aspirin • Alcohol • Junk foods • Antibiotics • Antacids or PPIs • Birth control pills • Pregnancy • Lactation • Smoking • Polymorphism
MTHFR, genetic mutations, methylation…what is this all about and why does it matter? Carrie and Jared discuss all of this and more in an attempt to simplify the science and help you find the right options for you. You'll learn why folic acid might not be good for you, the difference between B-vitamins and coenzymated B-vitamins, and why that matters. They dissect a B vitamin label from RDA's to ODA's and what is in the parentheses. It is a complex topic, but an important one, and often a key to snapping out of many ailments.Products:Vital 5 Ultimate Vitality Multi-VitaminBioCoenzymated Active B ComplexNatural Factors B VitaminsKAL B12-6-FolateAdditional Information:Natural Factors Natural Health News (blog)Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalityradio and @vitalitynutritionbountiful on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Methylcobalamin is a specific precursor to B12 (cobalamin). It has promising mechanisms by which it could slow ALS progression. Two trials done in Japan suggest that 50mg via intramuscular injection twice weekly can slow ALS progression and prolong survival. Here we discuss the evidence for ultra-high dose methylcobalamin in patients with ALS and conclude that it may offer benefit, but only if administered within the first year of symptoms. If started after the first year, there is no evidence of benefit. It appears reasonably safe.

Summary Today, I'll review the formulations and research that illustrates the role of medical foods which are a unique classification of formulations that are approved by the FDA. Additionally, I will speak to the potential value of nutraceuticals and supplemental food-derived products in supporting cognitive health in aging individuals at risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). And what are medical foods? Medical foods are defined products and nutrient formulations that are specifically designed for the dietary management of a disease. Medical food products are regulated by the FDA. Plus, medical foods contain nutrients or food-based therapeutic ingredients that provide a medical or health benefit, and thus the use of "medical" in the term. Three medical foods will be highlighted in today's episode that address three essential aspect of maintaining and optimizing cognitive function as you age—brain rejuvenation, brain protection (neuroprotection) and brain energetics (energy metabolism). With regard to brain rejuvenation, the formulation—Souvenaid® (Fortasyn Connect), which is available in Australia where it is designated as a "Food for Special Medical Purpose", and it is also available in Singapore and parts of Europe. Souvenaid® is a medical nutrition drink that contains a unique blend of ingredients known as Fortasyn® Connect, which is “formulated to support the growth of brain connections”, which means that it supports the synthesis of neuronal and synaptic membranes that are vital in synaptic function. And that is an important point that I cover in The Diabetic Brain in Alzheimer's Disease. The Souvenaid formulation includes omega 3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA), phospholipids, choline, selenium, vitamin E, vitamin C, B12 B6, folic acid and uridine. Several studies and trials have evaluated the benefits of Souvenaid® and in a consensus opinion of those studies published in 2019 it was determined that there was improvement in memory and cognitive performance in patients with MCI and early Alzheimer's disease. Nevertheless, it was also stated that “currently, there is not enough evidence to conclude that Souvenaid® decreases the rate of progression from MCI to dementia.” However, you will often see if you do a search for that product that it is described by a few sources, including the Souvenaid website, that the formulation is suitable “for the early stages of Alzheimer's disease” which is often associated with MCI. And here is why: Several analyses and clinical trials have shown benefits in memory and cognitive performance in patients with MCI and early Alzheimer's disease as the 2019 consensus opinion analyses reported. In the longest randomized clinical trial—3 years— in prodromal Alzheimer's or MCI due to Alzheimer's pathology—the LiPiDiDiet study, patients who were taking Souvenaid once daily for 3 years showed the following outcomes: Slowed the progression of memory and cognitive decline by 60% Reduced brain shrinkage by 33% Reduced the loss of everyday task performance by 45% The LiPiDiDiet study conclusions were: “This multi-nutrient intervention slowed decline on clinical and other measures related to cognition, function, brain atrophy, and disease progression. These results indicate that intervention benefits increased with long‐term use.” Those findings were published in January of 2021. The ingredient profile Souvenaid® formulation is designed for the rejuvenation of the critical membranes that surround the neuron which are particularly beneficial in the function of the synapse. Neuronal cellular membrane integrity is vital for the myriad of synaptic signaling trafficking mechanisms that underlie synaptic plasticity. And that is what Souvenaid® is designed to do—to enhance the formation and function of synapses that are a critical juncture in the communication and transmission between neurons that are central to learning and memory formation. I decided to talk about this formula to emphasize the ingredients and what their combined benefits can do for nourishing and rejuvenation critical brain synapses. Please listen into this episode to hear a my overview on the benefits associated with the Souvenaid ® ingredients. the second formulation— CerefolinNAC®, which like Souvenaid, is composed of two key ingredients L-methylfolate—a bioactive folate, and N-acetyl cysteine. The formula caplet contains L-methylfolate (Metafolin®), Algae-S Powder (Schizochytrium), 2 mg of Methylcobalamin and 600 mg of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine. (N-acetylcysteine) CerefolinNAC® is a prescription medical food “ formulated to meet the distinctive nutritional requirements of patients with a type of memory loss called mild cognitive impairment (MCI).” CerefolinNAC® is “formulated to meet the distinctive nutritional requirements of patients with a type of memory loss called mild cognitive impairment (MCI).” MCI is considered to be a prodromal stage that may convert to LOAD. Not all individuals with MCI progress to LOAD. CerefolinNAC® provides a bioactive form of folate—methylfolate and methylcobalamin which is a form of B12 that also functions as a methyl donor and is a like folate, a critical nutrient for supporting healthy methylation pathways that includes an efficient metabolism of homocysteine. How important are these B vitamins in cognitive health in aging individuals? Several studies have shown that elevated homocysteine levels are associated with increased brain atrophy, and B vitamin therapy lowers aberrant levels homocysteine—a potentially toxic molecule that is linked to a decrease in brain grey matter which is referred to as brain shrinkage or atrophy. The CerefolinNAC® ingredients are also beneficial for aging individuals at risk, or who have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease which makes CerefolinNAC® cardio-and neuroprotective. Listen in to hear the rest of the CerefolinNAC® ingredients story. The last medical food overview I cover in this episode is Axona. Axona is a prescription medical food containing a proprietary formulation of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are derived from coconut and palm kernel oils and there are four that are commonly designated in the family of MCTs— caproic acid (C6), caprylic acid (C8), capric acid (C10), and lauric acid (C12). Axona is primarily composed of caprylic acid or C8, which is also referred to as octanoic acid. Research shows the MCTs and particularly C8 and C10 can fulfill a critical need for an energy substrate for the aging brain. MCTs are metabolized to a ketone body—beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in the liver, which provides cells and neurons with an alternative energy source to glucose. I cover this in depth in my book, The Diabetic Brain in Alzheimer's Disease, along with the importance of ketogenic, intermittent fasting and caloric restriction diet therapy that supports and protects mitochondrial energy metabolism in the brain. In today's episode I also briefly share about my favorite nutrients and extracts supplements that are based on a considerable amount of research with regard to benefiting heart and brain health. Remember, anything that is good for your cardiovascular health is also very good for brain. The importance of a healthy heart-brain axis cannot be overemphasized. The same holds true for the gut-brain axis. Here is an overview of my favorite polyphenol, carotenoid and sulforaphane supplements. First, my highly recommended polyphenol extracts available in many supplemental products include many resveratrol extracts, fisetin, grape seed extract, curcumin, genistein, EGCg (Epigallocatechin gallate), luteolin, found in celery and other vegetables, and quercetin. Carotenoid supplements include astaxanthin—found in krill oil products, and lycopene, zeaxanthin and lutein. A study published in May of this year (2022) found that people with the highest levels of the antioxidants—lutein and zeaxanthin and beta-cryptoxanthin (a carotenoid found in oranges, tangerines, mangoes, papaya, and peaches) in their blood were less likely to develop dementia decades later than people with lower levels of these antioxidants. Another recent study (June 2022) determined while men and women eat about the same amount of carotenoids, that the requirements for carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin in women are much higher, due to their increased vulnerability to macular degeneration and LOAD. Another aspect of that vulnerability in women and increased need to more carotenoid intake is they store of these fat-soluble carotenoids in their body fat which makes them less available to the brain. Lastly, sulforaphane which in supplemental form is usually derived from broccoli seed or sprouts is one of the most powerful phytochemicals available in a supplement. Sulforaphane-rich foods include cruciferous vegetables such as kale, spinach and chard, and in broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage and other vegetables. Please listen in to my last episode #14 for a more comprehensive overview on food-derived polyphenols, carotenoids and sulforaphane that are abundant in the Mediterranean, MIND and Improved MIND Diet. The polyphenols, carotenoids and sulforaphane found in foods and available as supplements that not only provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory cardio- and neuroprotection, they also stimulate: neurogenesis, supports synaptic plasticity, improves cerebral blood flow, decreases beta-amyloid aggregation and their neurotoxic effects and supports their degradation (autophagy) and clearance, support metabolic health, selectively function as phytoestrogens and promotes longevity. Ant the same benefits are associated with many vitamins and other nutrients such as B vitamins, glutathione and NAC that I covered here today, and vitamin D, C and E, CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid and many others. Now, for the most part I've covered in the ingredient-associated benefits of the medical foods and supplements which are an essential component of the cornerstones which I incorporate into my BrainDefend® body-brain health and renewal program—Protect, Rejuvenate and Energize. A reminder to make sure your supplement is a product that's made by a good manufacturer, and one that features proprietary extracts which often includes a delivery system technology to facilitate their absorption. Several studies and analyses over the past years have demonstrated that supplements bought on Amazon have been found to have labels that don't match contents, meaning that the ingredient levels are either non-existent of far below what the label states.

Background Information—Form and Function of B12 Vitamin B12 Form Cyanocobalamin has no known biochemical function. It must be converted to become active. It gets converted for use into hydroxocobalamin, methylcobalamin, or adenosylcobalamin. These three forms are equal in bioavailability.An exception to this is for the use of adenosylcobalamin in infants with a rare inborn error of synthesis.Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin are coenzyme forms of B12.Hydroxocobalamin can be converted into the above two forms. Click here to learn more about the Hedberg Institute Membership. Vitamin B12 Function Vitamin B12 is used for DNA synthesis, homocysteine metabolism, S-adenosylmethionine, red blood cell formation, nervous system and immune system function.Vitamin B 12 is necessary for folate to be metabolized properly into Methionine and Succinyl-CoA. Low levels of B12 and increased levels of folate are associated with higher concentrations of methylmalonic acid (MMA) and total plasma homocysteine (HCY). Vitamin B12 Sources The average American diet contains adequate amounts of vitamins B12, ranging from 5-15 mcg/day. Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy, constitute the primary food sources. It is not found in most non-animal food sources. Individuals consuming a plant-based diet are at an increased risk of deficiency. Non-meat food sources such as chlorella, spirulina, nori, and fermented soy contain mostly B12 analogues which have no activity in humans. Fifty-one percent of those following a macrobiotic diet were found to be deficient.Vegan Diets 0.3-0.4 mcg/dayLacto-vegetarians 1.4 mcg/day Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA)Males >14 years: 2.4 mcg/dayFemales >14 years: 2.4 mcg/dayPregnancy: 2.6 mcgLactation: 2.8 mcg Absorption of B12 Pepsin and hydrochloric acid (HCL) are necessary for cleaving B12 from protein in stomach.Individuals with low levels are at a greater risk of deficiency due to decreased break down for absorption.B12 supplements (crystalline B12) do not require HCL or pepsin to bind to intrinsic factor (IF).B12 supplements are absorbed normally in hypochlorhydria.Intrinsic factor (IF) is made in the stomach and necessary for carrying B12 from the stomach to intestines for absorption.Individuals with genetic SNPs impairing intrinsic factor (IF) production are also at a greater risk of deficiency and must rely on B12 injections, bypassing the need for IF.IF becomes fully saturated at 2 mcg of B12.Large doses can be absorbed through passive diffusion which doesn't require IF. This accounts for 1-2% of absorption.1000 mcg/day can overcome loss of IF due to pernicious anemia.Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of parietal cells which produce IF. Possible Causes of Vitamin B12 Deficiency Pernicious anemia—Auto antibodies against parietal cells and IFGastric disease or surgeryChronic atrophic gastritis—parietal cell death/autoimmuneUse of gastric acid inhibitors (antacids, histamine receptor 2 antagonists, proton pump inhibitors)Pancreatic disease or pancreatectomyOther intestinal diseases: parasitic infections, bacterial overgrowth, ileal resection, impaired B12/IF absorption.Medications, such as cholestyramine and metformin, that impair B12 absorption or metabolism.Limited/poor food sources/choices that result in general malnutrition. Examples include vegan or vegetarian diet.Chronic alcoholismInherited disorders involved in B12 trafficking and metabolismMiscellaneous: including HIV and nitrous oxide anesthesiaConditions that result in chronic diarrhea or malabsorption states, such as celiac disease and Crohn's disease.Helicobacter pylori infection results in hypochlorhydria. Eradicating H Pylori can improve B12 levels.Long term psyllium supplementation (> 1 year)Genetic factors can affect absorption and transport. Individuals with genetically higher methylmalonic acid levels will require higher-than-normal B12 dose...

Dr. Albert Mensah, MD, discusses cutting edge (and affordable) ways to test for undermethylation, plus its mental health implications, nutraceutical solutions, pharmaceutical options and much more. Dr. Mensah is the founder of Mensah Medical, an international biomedical clinic for patients diagnosed with autism, ADD, ADHD, OCD, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression and eating disorders. He treats patients with advanced nutrient therapy, an effective and natural alternative to prescription medication. Answering the need for specialists with backgrounds in both traditional and natural medicine, Dr. Mensah founded Mensah Medical after serving as a primary physician at the original Pfeiffer Treatment Center. While at Pfeiffer, he received extensive training from Dr. William J. Walsh, PhD, founder and former director of the Walsh Research Institute and a pioneer in methylation and mental health research. Dr. Mensah works closely with the Walsh Research Institute, updating therapies and protocols, initiating cutting-edge paradigms and serving as a clinical instructor for its International Doctor Training Program. 3:38 - What is methylation? 7:00 - Serotonin production, activation, recycling and reprocessing 9:03 - Whole blood histamine blood marker and its implication in methylation.

In this episode, Mark and Ryan discuss the benefits of a plant-based diet which is high in fruits and berries, moderate in vegetables and void of animal products. Through his work at the Nutritional Oncology Research Institute, Mark has developed the NORI protocol, based on the two core concepts of restricting methionine intake and using high doses of sodium selenite (selenium salts) and other targeted nutraceuticals to reduce tumor cell growth. In-vivo studies and clinical experience affirm the effectiveness of this type of diet. The concept of using pro-oxidants versus anti-oxidants is discussed as is the mechanism of sodium selenite and the relationship between methionine and cancer. This conversation may challenge the way you currently view your nutritional protocol. We encourage you to keep an open mind. Be prepared to stretch your current point of view and perhaps gain some new insight and ideas. Please enjoy this next installment of the Anti-cancer Revolution! Be sure to let us know what you think below. 0:41 Fruit or no fruit – That is the million dollar question Mark promotes a methionine restricted diet - high fruit, moderate vegetables, no animal products Utilizes Vitamin E, tocotrienol, selenium, iodine 2:30 Overview of the NORI protocol Based on two core ideas - methionine restricted diet & high dose selenium (sodium selenite) Mark started the diet based on personal experience after his wife was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer Diet plays a huge role as a tool in cancer prevention Sodium selenite is a form of selenium studied for over 40 years Is a selective chemo-therapeutic agent Can kill cancer cells without causing harm to other cells High bio-availability Can be administered intravenously or orally 6:00 Relationship between methionine and cancer cells Mark discover the work of Dr. Daniel E. Epner, MD - clinical studies using methionine restricted diet Video by Dr. Mark Gregor on Mark’s website describing methionine and what it does Methionine is an amino acid If methionine is restricted, cancer cells die Could potentially work as stand-alone therapy 8:30 How do you reduce methionine in the body and what is the end goal? Through the diet methionine levels can be brought quite low All whole foods contain some level of methionine Fruits contain the least amount of methionine Grains, nuts, beans, seeds, animal products contain the most Best to cycle methionine levels on and off In the future hope is to be able to bring methionine levels to zero 10:05 What do cancer cells do with methionine? Cancer cells use methionine as a building block Methionine is not needed for normal cell growth- not an essential amino acid MTOR pathway is stimulated less with methionine restriction Methionine restriction makes cancer cells more sensitive to treatment NORI diet is a platform to slow down tumor growth and make cancer more sensitive to treatment 13:50 What are your thoughts on eating fruit? Fruit is not the same thing as table sugar Most fruits are low glycemic Fruitarian diet does not cause high blood sugar 80-10-10 diet (80% fruit, 10% protein, 10% fat) Sugar does not encourage tumor growth, insulin does Ketogenic diet doesn’t work long term because glutamine is not cut out of diet 18:00 NORI diet restricts other cancer-dependent amino acids besides methionine Glutamine Phenylalanine Isoleucine Tryptophan Asparagine 18:30 NORI diet is an alkaline diet Alkaline diet helps neutralize acidity around tumors Anti-inflammatory Anti-angiogenesis Dr. Robert Morse recommends a similar program 20:05 Where do you stand on juicing fruit? Is there a difference between eating fruit and vegetables with or without fiber? A little bit of freshly squeezed citrus juice is fine Bottled juices - no Believes juicing is counter-productive More antioxidants flooding the system makes it harder to fight cancer Hasn’t seen data showing success with juicing and stage 4 cancer Plant based diet is a good idea Cancers are crazier today than years ago Gerson’s original diet involved orange juice and lower protein (lower methionine) Juicing probably doesn’t get phytochemicals up to appropriate levels 23:45 Can you elaborate on antioxidants and cancer? Study with animals on low-antioxidant diet slowed tumor progression Normal cells operate on a low level of oxidative stress Cancer cells operate at a high level of oxidative stress because of altered metabolism Adding oxidative stress will push cancer cells over the edge Cancer cells are dependent on anti-oxidant systems like: Glutathione Thioredoxin Catalyse Superoxide dismutase If you block glutathione synthesis, cancer cells die off Putting anti-oxidants into the system aids cancer survival such as: Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol form) Vitamin C NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) Vitamin A NORI program is careful not to incorporate juicing or other antioxidant supplements NORI program utilizes pro-oxidants which increase oxidative stress Sodium selenite Generates hydrogen peroxide Generates ROS (reactive oxygen species) Triggers cell apoptosis 28:30 What are your thoughts on using antioxidants to increase chemotherapy and drug success? Oncologists tell patients no antioxidant supplements because they know they will interfere with treatment Antioxidants protect cancer cells Mark hasn’t seen any research showing antioxidants make chemo work better Research shows pro-oxidant therapy helps chemo work better Sodium selenite Ozone therapy Sulforaphane (need 10-20 grams or more) - not too efficient 32:30 Can you give us a breakdown of the different levels of methionine within food groups? Foods highest in methionine: Chicken and fish Next: other animal products- beef, dairy, eggs Mark has been vegan for 30 years (supplements with B12 occasionally) Caution: B-12 can be used by cancer cells for protein synthesis Soy, sesame seeds, and brazil nuts are high in methionine Lowest: apple, most fruits Dark green veggies are fairly high Hard part is getting enough calories on a low methionine diet Potatoes and rice work to bring up weight 38:40 Cycling on and off low-methionine foods Encourage fruit-only breakfast (easily digested, full of enzymes, fiber, water, cleansing, detoxifying, extends a fast) Book: Harvey Diamond, Fit for Life Food combining Methionine restriction is anti-aging Ketosis is not necessarily a healthy state - not natural/normal Not a proponent of fasting for cancer patients - too stressful Recommends a fruit-only diet instead of fasting Super-charge your system by eating raw, high-energy, plant-based foods 44:30 What is the distinction between nutraceuticals and supplements? Use supplements to fill in gaps Recommends supplementing with iodine, selenium, vitamin D, zinc, B12 Nutraceuticals can be used to lower inflammation Sodium selenite is used as an anticancer nutraceutical Vitamin E delta tocotrienol- high dose kills cancer cells Glucosamine alters cancer cells High-dose zinc is effective in killing cancer cells Melatonin effective in fighting cancer (300 mg) Curcumin - plant derived medicine - not very bioavailable Medicines work because of toxic effects on system/system modulation 50:20 How did selenium and tocotrienols stand out to you? High index of therapeutic value High bioavailability Water solubility ADME Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion - nutraceuticals are analyzed according to this standard Sodium selenite has reached animal and human clinical studies (in-vivo) Methionine restriction is being used in ongoing human clinical studies 55:20 What is the mechanism of action of sodium selenite? Selective pro-oxidant Study which shows it inhibits glutamine metabolism Natural high uptake into tumor tissue Radioactive sodium selenite (SE-75) was used in the 1960s to highlight cancer cells on imaging tests Relatively small amount of sodium selenite (10-20 mg) is typically needed at therapeutic threshold levels 9 hour half-life Cells need to be exposed 24 to 72 hours or more - the longer the better Lower doses can be sustained for longer periods of time .3 mg/kg of body weight is dosage for IV sodium selenite IVs are used for pulsing in addition to oral dosage IVs can become cost-prohibitive 1:01:30 Hazards of buying sodium selenite online Can be risky - might be over a toxic dose or too weak Mark sells some on his website Might not be pharmaceutical dose Signs of overdose Hair loss Brittle nails Use under supervision 1:03:00 Is this an extract of selenium versus a whole compound? Sodium selenite is a mineral salt - inorganic form of selenium- trace mineral Chemical formula Na 2 Se0 3 Body needs it all the time Organic forms vary in the level of anti-cancer activity 100% water soluble- easily crosses blood-brain barrier Vitamin E used is extracted from annatto seed - delta tocotrienol Pro-oxidant Looks and behaves like unsaturated fatty acid Initiates lipid peroxidase chain reaction Ends up in mitochondrial membrane Interacts with and generates more ROS Triggers cancer cells to die - apoptosis Mitochondria are dysfunctional in cancer cells Breaks the positive feedback loop of the mitochondria so cells can die 1:09:39 You mentioned DHA. Where do you get yours? Mark uses an algae oil Studies show DHA can be used therapeutically in cancer (6g/day) DHA will become incorporated into the cancer cell membranes and will undergo lipid peroxidase reactions Algae oil is unstable and oxidizes easily Antioxidants are added to maintain stability and this can be enough to interfere with NORI protocol 1:11:20 Budwig diet - similarities and differences Fruit, berries, no animal products Cottage cheese and flax oil mixture Flax contains ALA, a polyunsaturated fat Studies show ALA can trigger cancer cells to die Flaxseed oil must be freshly pressed (15-30g) Cottage cheese/quark works as an emulsifying agent to break up the oil for bioavailability Theoretically based on the science, it should work Not in favor of it right now because there are better methods Tocotrienol does the same thing only with more efficiency 1:15:30 Lithium Chloride Still under study Has a favorable effect on cancer pathways Used as treatment booster Studies with lithium chloride used in conjunction with 5FU in animals 1:17:07 NORI protocol is currently using 6 agents 3 core agents make up the cytotoxic cocktail Vit E tocotrienol (1200mg), sodium selenite, Vit K3 3 other agents working around the cocktail Glucosamine (8g), zinc citrate (150mg), melatonin (300mg) Used in conjunction with methionine-restricted diet Protocol is continually evolving based on clinical experience Simple, low-cost 1:19:10 Where can we find you? https://antibioticwatchdog.com/ Website covering relationship between antibiotics and cancer Free ebook https://norinutraceuticals.com/ (store) https://noricbd.com/ https://nutritionaloncology.net/ Info on program and protocol Mailing list CBD products and nutraceuticals - Use code STERN Free consultations (30-60 min) 1:22:00 Closing remarks Please check out the podcast links and the links on our website (“What We Use” section).

Is comparison stealing joy in your life? So Rachel Cruz's episode from 2018 is one of the most downloaded episodes for the Mom Inspired Show so I am kicking off December "Best Of" with her episode. If you missed it the first time around I know you will enjoy this. If you have already heard this episode, I find when you listen to something more than once you learn different things since you are in a different phase of life than when you first heard it! Rachel and I discuss everything from how comparison is killing us, and that social media makes it super easy to to feel like we don’t have enough! Do you ever find yourself scrolling through social media wishing you had a different house, maybe you feel like you are the only one that doesn’t go on vacations as much as you like or have fabulous friends? Rachel shares with us that she too can fall into this trap. She shares a story about coming home from a vacation and then getting on social media to find someone that she follows on Instagram on vacation and feeling like she is missing out, yet she just got home from a vacation! We also talk about saving money so that you can have the life that you truly want. One story that stood out to me was when Rachel was talking about saving for college and how expensive it can be to send your kids. She shares with us that college is a blessing not an entitlement and if you are not able to pay for your kids college that doesn’t make you a bad parent! Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Dani: Hey Dr. Cabral. Good day. Being a skeptic, I enjoyed how you put across how we're all energy and all that in mindset Mondays. I did further reading and have a better understanding now. I am however, still a skeptic with regard to astrology and how it impacts us. Don't know if it's exactly in your field but I'd still like to get your personal thoughts on it or if it's woo-woo and is really negligible. Keep up great work. Gloria: I want to heal my hypothyroidism and help with anti-aging things nutrients or so. Thanks Gloria Madison: I was wondering if you have any experience with the mushroom AHCC. I know there is a lot of clinical research about it’s effect on cancer as well as autoimmune related conditions. I didn’t come across anything in your podcasts (surprisingly), So I’m just curious what your opinion is on this. Thanks for all you do!! Jenni: Hi, I'm sending an inquiry regarding my father in law. He has a history of metastatic cancer, and cardio-pulmonary conditions like congestive heart failure. He's 86 years old and on a myriad of medications to address symptoms, including a diuretic. He's consistently in pain, and experiencing side effects from the medications. He wants a different option. I'm wondering if this is the type of patient you could help and if so what you'd recommend as a next step. Thank you in advance! Jenni Chris: Hey Dr. Cabral! I have been taking the activated multivitamin and have noticed since taking it I get a big jittery feeling and become very anxious. I can only tolerate 1 pill at most and through research I realized that the methylated b vitamins are most likely the cause because I have the comt homozygous gene defect. What are your recommendations for someone who wants to get all their daily nutrients but cannot tolerate Methylcobalamin? Thanks! Luann: Hello Dr. Cabral, What is the status of your low-emf sauna development? I would like to buy a sauna, but am worried about EMFs. Thank you!

The Vitamin B12 talk...! We've probably all heard bits and pieces of information and misinformation about where vitamin B12 actually comes from and what is does for us in the body. In this conversation we address the. topic full on, and hopefully put to rest any questions you may have held about your plant based diet being a suboptimal way of eating due to the fact that it 'doesn't contain vitamin B12'. Some important takeaways include... Where B12 comes from and why we need to supplement in the 21st century Why all farmed animals are given B12 supplements today The different forms of vitamin B12 what they do inside your body Signs and symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency The best and most bioavailable forms of vitamin B12 we recommend, along with dosages Why we don't recommend relying on fortified foods or vitamin B12 injections By the way, we recommend this vitamin B12 product, a mixture of methyl and adenosyl-cobalamin - here’s an amazon link - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RXEW7R0/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00RXEW7R0&linkCode=as2&tag=alterhealth03-20&linkId=ca472663a3c61d475cf63c4f4d73c0a4 Join the conversation and tune in LIVE on Thursdays at 12PM pst on FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM!

My Foundational Five are the best supplements to help form a foundation of good nutrition, no matter what your goals may be. Before I recommend the best muscle-building supplements, weight loss pills, or detox programs, I almost always recommend starting with the following five supplements. Then, as you make progress toward your goals, you might consider adding to these five, but not taking something in place of them. Of course, as potent as these supplements are, you still need to eat well, too. As I often say... No supplement is so good it can offset the effect of a poor diet. No diet is so good that it can't benefit from supplementation. Your nutrition should complement a good strength training program, and quality sleep, as well. If you're serious about your health, consider making the following five supplement nonnegotiables each day. I've included the specific products I use and recommend as part of my Foundational Five as well. The Wellevate buttons take you to my practitioner dispensary, where you can access more than 300 brands of supplements. 1. High-Quality Multivitamin Imagine building your dream home without using any screws, nails, glue, or caulk. You could use all the best wood, granite, and glass available. But if you don't have the materials to tie it all together, your home won't stand very long. A high-quality multivitamin provides the micronutrients necessary to avoid gaps that could cause your metabolism, and then your body, to break down. When I recommend a high-quality multivitamin, I mean high-quality. Here's what to look for in a high-quality multivitamin: Natural folate, not folic acid (labeled as Metafolin®, L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or methylated folate)Methylcobalamin instead of cyancobalaminMineral glycinate chelates (i.e. magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium glycinate)Both K1 and K2Exceeds Daily Value (DV) for most micronutrientsEfficacious doses of any extra ingredients to enhance the formula This is a starting point.

Today I am joined by Robbie and Justin Holt of The Holt Twins. They are most notably known for their Instagram where they showcase really simple meal recipes for people who don't have time to spend in the kitchen. They also just made their very own B12 supplement called "The Holt Twins B12", and sold out their first inventory of 750 orders in just a few short months. They have managed to create a B12 supplement made from methylcobalamin and zero added sugar. Methylcobalamin is the most bioavailable form of B12, meaning it is the best absorbed version. I have been using their product for a few months now and it has helped to maintain my energy levels, improve my mood, and aid in digestion among many other benefits and obviously, it's a necessity for vegans. If you wanna pick up the B12 supplement made by vegans, for vegans, go to their website: https://theholttwins.com and use code "COLE20" for 20% off your order. They have just restocked, so get it while it is still available. In this podcast, we go over many topics, including their uncoventional method of testing a plant based diet for it's effectiveness, why a vegan diet is good for anyone no matter what type of genes you have, how they were able to grow a B!2 supplement company, how to grow a personal brand on social media, and much more.

Lt. Dr. Brian Clement kommt ein Vitamin B12 Mangel bei Fleischessern und Vegetarien noch häufiger vor als bei Veganern oder Rohköstlern. Der Grund liegt darin, dass Vitamin B 12 eine Bakterienart aus dem Boden ist. Durch das Sammeln von Wildkräutern nehmen insbesondere Rohköstler diese gesunde Form der Bodenbakterien über die Wildpflanzen auf. Da die meisten Menschen in der zivilisierten Welt jedoch nicht mehr so naturnah leben, empfiehlt das Hippocrates Health Insititut generell für alle Ernährungsrichtungen die tägliche Supplementierung von Vitamin B12, wobei Dr. Clement NICHT Methylcobalamin empfiehlt, sondern Vitamin B12 aus dem speziellen Hefeextrakt „Saccharomyces Cerevisiae“. Methyl-, Cyano- oder jede andere Form von künstlichem Cobalamin wird von Dr. Brian Clement nicht empfohlen, da es sich dabei lt. Clement nicht um ein lebendiges Vitamin B12 handelt. Ausführliche Infos zu Vitamin B12 und Methylcobalamin sind zu finden unter: https://hippocratesinst.de/rohkost-produkte/vitamin-b12-rohkost/ inkl. Produktempfehlungen für natürliches Vitamin B 12 und natürliche Bezugsquellen für gutes Vitamin B 12 / *empfohlen von Dr. Brian Clement. Auch der Rohkostarzt Dr. Bauer (Klinik St. Moritz) konnte jahrzehntelang an seinen Patienten durch die Verabreichung eines bestimmten Hefepräparates beobachten, dass Hefeextrakt aus "Saccharomyces Cerevisiae" eine gute Quelle für Vitamin B12 ist.

The holidays are here and boy are they fun! Some people think it's the most wonderful time of the year and I [Ginney] am one of those people. After all these years, I don't even TRY to kid myself that I am not going to enjoy my favorite holiday treats this time of year. Oh, yes, I could demonize my favorite Queen Anne Chocolate Covered Maraschino Cherries or psyche myself out about the extra glass of really yummy red wine I will drink this Thanksgiving but I am not going to do that. What I am going to do is have LOTS of ReAline on hand and detox as I go. That's right - instead of waiting for some crazy fad detox diet to start on January 1st, I am building my detox program the safe, healthy way every day the holidays are here so I can enjoy my favorite time of year and feel good in my body as well!. ReAline was the second formula that Dr. Dean worked on after the RnA Drops. The current formula contains: Vitamin B1 (thiamine from Saccharomyces Boulardi) (natural source) – 4mg Vitamin B2 ( as Riboflavin 5 phosphate) – 4 mg Niacin (from Saccharomyces Cells) - 10 mg Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine 5 phosphate – 4 mg Folic acid (as Quatrefolic®) – 200 mcg Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin) – 250 mcg Biotin (from Saccharomyces Cells) - 50 mcg L-Methionine (natural source) – 500mg L-Taurine (natural source) – 200mg Pantothenic Acid (from Saccharomyces Cells) - 6 mg ReAline is a specific formula that provides the perfect building blocks to enhance and assist the body in detoxifying chemicals and heavy metals. Instead of forcing the body with purges or IV chelation, ReAline has l-methionine, which is the building block for glutathione, the body's most important antioxidant. That way the body can detox when it wants to not when it’s forced to. L-methionine and l-taurine are sulfur amino acids, which help with the liver's sulfation detox pathways. The B vitamins work synergistically with magnesium and methionine. All four are methylated to help with liver methylated detoxification pathways to help break down toxic homocysteine. The introduction of methylated B’s became even more important as the MTHFR gene mutations were identified. Betaine HCL is also a methylated compound. Dr. Dean contends that gene mutations are expressed partly because of magnesium and other nutrient deficiencies. The B vitamins are essential to support our neurological health. This became even more obvious when we found deficient B12, B6, and folate in the autism spectrum and also in the elderly. But there is much more to them. They are cofactors in thousands of biochemical processes. The B vitamins work together; they help cells burn fats and glucose for energy, they promote cell growth and division, maintain healthy skin and muscle tone, support and increase the rate of metabolism, enhance immune and nervous system function, which includes easing stress and improving mood probably triggered by an increased production of serotonin. Their ability to help reduce anxiety, depression and PMS is enhanced with the use of magnesium. Methionine has 4 major roles in the ReAline formula. Methionine is a building block in the manufacture of all our proteins including: structural, contractile, blood proteins, antibodies, hormones, and enzymes. It is a methyl donor, needed for the production of neurotransmitters; a sulfur donor; and a precursor in the synthesis of other amino acids. Methionine has the ability to inhibit toxic metals from crossing the blood-brain barrier. Methionine is a critical component of tissue development, growth and tissue repair for all humans at any age. Taurine is a precursor to GABA; reduces elevated levels of cortisol in the body; helps burn fat; improves insulin sensitivity; increases testosterone production; acts as an antioxidant; enhances heart and brain function and improves sleep. It also lends sulfur molecules to the liver for its sulfation detox pathways. We hope that you take the appropriate steps to make good food and drink choices over the holidays. I know I will, and, I am keeping my ReAline close by to be a practical support to my body’s natural detoxification processes should I 'overindulge'.

Purges and IV chelation are the most common forms of detox for the body. But what if there were a more perfect way? ReAline is a specific formula that provides the perfect building blocks to enhance and assist the body in detoxifying chemicals and heavy metals. Instead of forcing the body with purges or IV chelation, ReAline has l-methionine, which is the building block for glutathione, the body's most important antioxidant. That way the body can detox when it wants to now when it’s forced to. There is no practical way to protect yourself from all the toxins in the environment. You would have to live the rest of your life in a hermetically sealed suit (and it would be a short life since you couldn’t eat or drink.) Fortunately, there are ways to counteract some toxins and pollutants. Your body’s natural detoxification processes exist to deal with the ones we can’t avoid. ReAline was the second formula that I worked on after the RnA Drops. It contained three B vitamins and two sulfur-based amino acids dl-methionine and l-taurine. Specifically, the original ReAline formula contained: B2 (riboflavin-5-phosphate), B6 (pyridoxine-5-phosphate), Folate, dl-Methionine, l-Taurine, and Betaine hydrochloride (a methylated compound). Since that formula was first released in 2011, we have changed all the B’s to active, methylated forms, added methylated B12, included a natural source of l-methionine, and most recently [beginning January 2017], included a food-based B1(thiamine). Here is the current formula, which can replace several supplements that you may be taking: Vitamin B1 (thiamine from Saccharomyces Boulardi) (natural source) – 4mg Vitamin B2 ( as Riboflavin 5 phosphate) – 6mg Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine 5 phosphate – 8mg Folic acid (as Quatrefolic) – 990mcg Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin) – 500mcg L-Methionine (natural source) – 500mg L-Taurine (natural source) – 200mg Betaine HCL – 100mg Other Ingredients: Vegetable cellulose (capsule shell), Cellulose, Vegetable Stearate, Silica Now that ReAline is a more perfect formula, I suppose it’s time I wrote a booklet about all the amazing ingredients! However, for now, let me expand on how ReAline is described at RnA ReSet. I want to make sure you realize how important it is for you and your Total Body ReSet. Tonight on our show we'll talk about ReAline, the Total Body Reset and much more!

2 years ago, I decided I was fed up with supplements. Just freakin' tired of all the tablets, capsules, pills, powders and oils. And bottles. Lots and lots of plastic bottles scattered everywhere. I distinctly remember the day I finally decided something needed to change. It was when I swung open the door of my refrigerator to dive into my daily regimen of vitamins, antioxidants, nutrients, micronutrients, fish oils... ...and I realized it was getting overwhelming. Sure, it was better living through science, but it was anything but simple. I'm sure you've experienced the same thing. You open what seems like nearly a dozen different bottles to launch into your morning supplement regimen.... ...or you pack your suitcase to travel and struggle to prioritize which bottles to shove into your limited suitcase space... ...or you spend an inordinate amount of your precious time tracking, ordering and restocking your vitamin D or your fish oil, or your greens, or your multi-vitamin or your minerals or your antioxidants or your amino acids... You get the idea. Supplement clutter, supplement confusion and utter lack of supplement simplicity. ------------------------------------ 9 Reasons You May Not Want To Throw Out All Your Supplements Now don't get me wrong. I don't think supplements are an inconvenient and unnecessary curse that should simply all be tossed out. There is certainly evidence that , but even if you're eating a “healthy” diet, studies have shown that it is nearly impossible in our modern era to get all our nutrients, vitamins and minerals only from food. For example, a : "Large portions of the population had total usual intakes below the estimated average requirement for vitamins A (35%), C (31%), D (74%), and E (67%) as well as calcium (39%) and magnesium (46%). Only 0%, 8%, and 33% of the population had total usual intakes of potassium, choline, and vitamin K above the adequate intake when food and multivitamin use was considered. The percentage of the population with total intakes greater than the tolerable upper intake level (UL) was very low for all nutrients..." "...Conclusions: In large proportions of the population, micronutrient sufficiency is currently not being achieved through food solutions for several essential vitamins and minerals. Use of age- and gender-specific multivitamin supplements may serve as a practical means to increase the micronutrient status in subpopulations of Americans while not increasing intakes above the upper intake level." So how on earth could this be? Is the planet broken or something? There's actually nine reasons for the failure of modern diets to supply our bodies with all the nutrients we need. First, modern commercial farming practices strip our precious soil of nutrients. When plants are repeatedly grown on the same land for year-after-year (a relatively new phenomenon in agriculture that beats up our land but gives us lots and lots of calories), the overused soil loses it's nutrients faster than they can be replaced. Over time, the plants have fewer nutrients to grow, so the farmers are forced to fertilize. Fertilizer does indeed contain enough nutrition for a plant to survive until harvesting, but not enough nutrients to support your body's nutrient needs. As discussed in the excellent book "", this results in plants that up to 75% fewer micronutrients. This problem is compounded by the fact that most plants are not harvested fresh, and the nutrients degrade as they often sit on airplanes, trucks, shelves, and counters for weeks before they arrive on your plate. Second, most , and not maximum nutrients, and because of this much of your fresh produce that us humans would have historically relied upon for nutrients are instead . And of course, this is all passed on to the animals (including you!) that are eating the plants. For example, found copper levels have dropped by 90% in dairy, 55% in meat, and 76% in vegetables! Third, pesticides are making this problem even worse. Because polyphenols are produced as a defense against bugs and pathogens, . To make matters even more frustrating, even if you buy organic plants, So unless you're going out of your way to grow your own fresh fruits and vegetables in a pristine backyard garden which contains soil that you've treated with added minerals, you are at a huge risk for malnourishment and nutrient deficiency that adversely affects your performance, fat loss, recovery, digestion, brain, sleep, and hormone balance. Fourth, it's not just nutrient-poor plants that are affecting the nutrient status of the actual animals we rely upon for food, but it's also what many of those animals are being fed - especially grains. Compared to grass-fed meat, grain-fed meat is , but unfortunately, eating high-quality, organic grass-fed (and grass-finished) meat, pastured pork and naturally raised poultry is simply not a reality for many people living in urban environments or frequently traveling. Fifth, the nutrients in your food aren't the only things that are disappearing - your liquids are being affected too. Unless you're drinking from your own well, or relying upon fancy mineralized water such as Pellegrino, Perrier and Gerolsteiner, your bottled water, filter water and tap water is also - and if does indeed contain adequate minerals, these are typically accompanied by enormous levels of flouride and chlorine. So this means that unless you want to spend lots and lots of money on fancy water, you are stuck in a situation where you must filter your water to get rid of the dangerous stuff, then figure out other methods, such as supplementation, to get the minerals you'd normally be getting from the water. Unfortunately, milk is not much better than water. The majority of nutrients in milk are found in the fat, so while , most of us simply don't have ready access to it, especially at the typical grocery store. In addition, pasteurization can destroy many of the nutrients in both skim and full fat milk. , which increases your nutrient needs even more, creating a vicious cycle. So whether it's due to nutrient-poor plants, nutrient-poor animals, nutrient-poor milk, or nutrient-poor water, most diets are now so micronutrient deficient that they require on average . In other words, in our modern era, you would need to be stuffing your face all day long to actually get what your body needs, and this does not into account the fact that if you are trying to lose weight by restricting calories or if you are a physically active person like a triathlete, marathoner, Crossfitter, weightlifter, or other exercise enthusiast, then your risk of nutrient deficiency is going to be even higher! In other words, if you are A) trying to lose weight by not stuffing your body full of excessive calories or B) an athlete or physically active person, then you're pretty much guaranteed to be at a constantly malnourished nutrient deficit (unless you figure out a way to somehow squeeze in all those added nutrients). The older you get, the fewer nutrients you absorb, so as you age, the worse things become. And that's reasons six (weight loss), seven (exercise) and eight (age) that you may need a little help over and above what you'd get from food. So let's say you dig a well, grow your own produce, milk your own goats, eat strictly grass-fed meat and wild-caught fish, you're relatively young and you avoid excessive physical activity or calorie restriction for weight loss. Then you're safe, right? No added nutrients necessary, right? The unfortunate ninth fact is that unless you live on a pristine mountaintop in the Himalayas, you're exposed every day to airborne pollutants, xenoestrogens from plastics and BPA, environmental toxins, mold, industrial solvents, electromagnetic fields, heavy metals, fluorescent lighting, constant stress, sleep disruption and a host of other modern-day assailants upon your biology. Your body simply wasn't mean to deal with these physiological stressors - all of which vastly increase your need for nutrients to help you fight the daily battle. So for the nine reasons above - depleted soil, nutrient-poor produce, pesticides, conventional meat, subpar water and milk, weight loss, physical activity, age, and our modern post-industrial living environment, you definitely shouldn't throw out all your supplements. --------------------------------------- Is It Possible For Supplements To Be Simpler? So this was the conundrum I found myself in two years ago as I stood in front of my refrigerator door and sighed in frustration at the dizzying array of supplements and bottles. I knew that because of my extremely active lifestyle and the other reasons I just listed that I couldn't and shouldn't just throw out all my supplements. I knew that I needed to keep my precious nutrients topped off for better performance, faster recovery, optimized fat burning, clean digestion, superior mental focus, better sleep and hormone balance... ...but I also knew that I was sick and tired of having to lug around a bunch of bottles, painstakingly use a weekly pill box to keep track of my supplements like an old man tracks his medication, and constantly be headed over to Amazon or some other website to re-order something I was running low in. And then there was that gnawing worry at the back of my mind that any of these supplements I was ingesting could be laced with something like chemicals, toxins, metals or illegal-performance enhancing drugs that could potentially damage my body, put pie in my face and get me banned from competing in a sanctioned sport like triathlon. I wanted better living through science. But I also desperately needed more simplicity. And I knew that somewhere, somehow, there must be a way to have both: the ultimate combination of science and simplicity. --------------------------------------- Seven Criteria a Multivitamin Must Have At that point, I embarked upon my quest to discover the greatest multivitamin on the face of the planet - something that could cover all my bases from a nutrient standpoint without requiring a dizzying, inconvenient and exhausting array of pills, bottles and packets. After all, that's kind of the definition of a multivitamin, right? It supposed to cover multiple needs. As a nutritionist, personal trainer, exercise physiologist and strength and conditioning coach with strict standards about what I find acceptable for myself or my clients to ingest, I also had a very distinct set of criteria that I knew a multivitamin must have - seven criteria to be precise... --------------------------------------- My Multivitamin Criteria #1: Capsules, Not Tablets Before completely shoving tablets under the bus, I'll acknowledge the two benefits tablets possess. First, because tablets are pressed together so hard, more nutrients can fill the same amount of space than you can put into a capsule. Second, it’s cheaper to make tablets than capsules. There are several drawbacks, however, to using tablets. First, tablets are much harder to digest. Because tablets are packed together so tightly and need far more binders and diluents to keep them together, it takes much longer for them to break down in the digestive system. A capsule, on the other hand, breaks down within just minutes of hitting your digestive tract. This is important because of the little known fact that most of the nutrients in a multivitamin actually need to be absorbed in your stomach. When a tablet takes too long to break down in the stomach, and passes on to your intestinal tract, its content will be far less broken down and absorbed. And that means expensive pee. Tablets also need lots of extra nasty ingredients, such as binders, lubricants, coatings, disintegrants, and other excipients. These ingredients must be added to make the tablet stay together, to make the tablet shiny, and to make the tablet break apart. Tablet press machines compact the powdered nutrients together (that have already been mixed with binders and lubricants) with a tremendous amount of force. Then, to make the tablets shiny and easier to swallow, the tablets are often sprayed with coatings such as shellac (just like the shellac found on furniture but instead labeled “pharmaceutical glaze”) or coated with “vegetable protein,” (most often a protein derived from GMO corn). Yuk. I'll take a capsule, please. --------------------------------------- My Multivitamin Criteria #2: One Morning Dose & One Evening Dose Your body needs nutrients throughout the course of the day, not just one huge shotgun dose when you get out of bed in the morning or before you go to bed at night. So I needed to find a multivitamin designed in such a way that it delivered important nutrients for daily metabolism and activity in the morning dose, and important nutrients for recovery, rest, and sleep in the evening dose, but without a dizzying array of capsules. I'll admit that it does take slightly more discipline to take a multivitamin twice a day – once in the morning and once in the evening – but it’s a much better way to deliver the optimal nutrients at the optimal times throughout the day. After all, you'd rarely eat only breakfast or only dinner, right? I figure if I can handle at least two meals, I can handle two supplement doses - as long it's not a dozen different bottles of stuff. --------------------------------------- My Multivitamin Criteria #3: Low Number of Capsules One extremely inconvenient factor in most multivitamin formulas out there is the number of capsules necessary for daily use if you truly are going to be able to get all the nutrients that you need from a single formula. I think that taking three capsules in the morning and three capsules in the evening is practical and doable for me. Anything less than the six capsules per day can significantly reduce the efficacy of a multivitamin formula, but once you get over six capsules, it becomes a pain to manage, difficult to swallow, and a hassle to travel with. --------------------------------------- My Multivitamin Criteria #4: Vegan & Vegetarian Friendly Capsules Most capsule-based multivitamins use capsules made from bovine gelatin - that's cow. And although I do not personally eat a plant-based diet, I have many clients who are either vegan or vegetarian. So I wanted the actual capsule material to be made from the best alternative to cattle-based bovine gelatin. The ideal answer would be a capsule made of cellulose, which is a natural, vegetable-based material, and is pure plant fiber (usually from pine trees). In other words, I know it's important to many of my clients and friends that no animals be harmed in the formulation of a good multivitamin. --------------------------------------- My Multivitamin Criteria #5: No Magnesium Stearate or Other Nasty Fillers Magnesium stearate is probably the most common flowing agent that you will find in the “Other Ingredients” section on the Supplement Facts box on any multivitamin label. Magnesium stearate is a lubricant that is used to manufacture nutritional supplements to help powders flow through manufacturing equipment faster. It allows more tablets to be manufactured per hour and is therefore a cost-savings choice for a manufacturer. However, studies have shown that magnesium stearate can reduce the absorption rate of some nutrients. It literally wraps around nutrients and keeps them from being absorbed in the digestive tract. So although magnesium stearate is not necessarily harmful, it can vastly reduce the effectiveness of the nutritional supplements that you are taking. Instead, I'd rather see a multivitamin use something like calcium laurate, which helps powders flow through the manufacturing equipment, but is a completely naturally-occurring material that does not inhibit absorption. Calcium laurate is not as effective of a flowing agent as magnesium stearate is, so products can’t be manufactured as fast, but it can certainly get the job done without the need to use magnesium stearate. When it is necessary to fill the capsule with something in addition to a nutrient or botanical, I'd rather see a multivitamin manufacturer use magnesium citrate, a the pure element reacted with pure citric acid; cellulose, a pure plant fiber, magnesium citrate-laurate, a pure element reacted with citric acid and lauric acid (a small fat molecule that does not inhibit absorption), silica, a pure element found in sand, and the amino acid leucine. Any of these fillers are completely natural and allow you to take a multivitamin without worrying about unnatural or harmful ingredients you might be ingesting. --------------------------------------- My Multivitamin Criteria #6: No GMO's For personal health and longevity reasons, and for consideration of the earth's environment, I avoid like the plague any product that contains Genetically Modified Organisms (known as GMOs). Unfortunately, most multivitamins contain GMO-laden ingredients - as well as corn, gluten, and some of the other nasty fillers mentioned earlier. This requires that any multivitamin I would ever use would need to closely analyzed by the manufacturer and guaranteed to be absolutely certain that none of ingredients are derived from GMO sources nor that they utilize GMOs in their production. --------------------------------------- My Multivitamin Criteria #7: Certified to Have No Banned Ingredients As I mentioned, it's very important to me that any supplement I take is not only CGMP certified (manufactured in a certified good manufacturing practices facility to ensure purity), but is also free of any ingredients that would get me banned from competing in triathlons, or taint my body with unnatural steroids or hormones. For years, I've been under the impression that something called an "NSF For Sport" certification was the strictest, third-party verification standard by which to judge whether a supplement contains these potentially illegal or banned ingredients. Turns out, I was wrong. There's something even more strict than NSF. And that is Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the pharmaceutical regulatory agency of Australia. Considered the toughest regulatory agency in the world, the TGA inspection and certification is conducted at a pharmaceutical level standard. Yes, that means the supplements certified by the TGA are verified to be as pure as an actual pharmaceutical drug. For me to hold a multivitamin to as strict a standard as a TGA certification would be tough. Only a handful of U.S. companies are able to achieve the status of holding a TGA certification and there is really only one dietary supplement company in the U.S. that ever has completed all three strict levels of a TGA certification, since the certification requires not only a review of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) every two years, but also on-site inspection of every aspect of a multivitamin's quality control, laboratory procedures, pharmaceutical good manufacturing practices, and standard operating procedures. But that's not all. I'd also prefer for a multivitamin to be certified by Informed Choice. Informed Choice requires five samples from three different production runs of product to be tested, which would further guarantee, because of extremely rigid raw material and finished product testing and production procedures, absolutely no ingredient banned by any amateur or professional organization. In other words, I want rock-solid, bulletproof confidence that I can hand any multivitamin that I endorse or personally use to the best athlete on the face of the planet with zero reservations about whether or not the multivitamin is pure or might get them banned. --------------------------------------- Notoriously Neglected Ingredients That A Multivitamin Must Have I also know that there are notoriously neglected ingredients in most multivitamin complexes that make them barely scratch the surface of your true nutrient needs, especially if you're a hard charging athlete, exercise enthusiast, an aging person, a busy professional living a CEO-esque lifestyle, or anyone else with advanced nutrient needs. Take Vitamin D, for example. The 200-400IU of Vitamin D found in most popular multivitamins is basically enough to keep a child from getting rickets. This is not even close enough to support optimal hormonal balance and physical or mental performance. Problem is, the multivitamins that actually do indeed have the 2000+IU per day of Vitamin D that I like to see do not include optimal amounts of Vitamin A or Vitamin K to allow for ideal absorption and utilization of Vitamin D, or reduced risk of Vitamin D toxicity. Or take Vitamin K - a crucial fat soluble vitamin usually found in complete zero amounts in a multivitamin. The body actually needs nearly 400mcg per day of Vitamin K to support bone health, calcium and magnesium balance, and vitamin D absorption, among a host of other metabolic and immune-boosting functions. Yet strangely enough, it's not included at all in most multivitamins. So what else is neglected in most multivitamins that I searched for on my quest to find the greatest multivitamin on the face of the planet? 1. Vitamin B6, B12 and B2 In The Correct Form The bioactive form of Vitamin B6 is Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate. But the most common form found in most multivitamins is Pyridoxine HCl, which is not the active form of Vitamin B6. So the Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate is a must-have in my opinion. The most common form of Vitamin B12 used in nutritional supplements and processed foods is cyanocobalamin. Cyanocobalamin, however, is absorbed at a much lower rate than methylcobalamin, which is the form of vitamin B12 that a multivitamin should actually have. Riboflavin 5’-Phosphate is the bioactive form of vitamin B2, but unfortunately Riboflavin HCl is the form commonly used in multivitamins, and that form needs to be converted in an extra step in the liver to the active form. Why do most multivitamins cut corners on these forms of Vitamin B? They're either uninformed, or going for the cheap alternative. 2. Folate In The Correct Form Folic acid is the most common form of folate used in nutritional supplements and fortified foods. However, a significant percentage of the population has trouble converting folic acid to folate, which is the natural form found in foods and in the body. A good multivitamin should use a form of folate called l-5-methyltetrahydrofolate to ensure folate is absorbed. It does cost considerably more than folic acid, but again, I only want a multivitamin with ingredients that work - not that just look pretty on a label and then give me expensive pee. 3. Minerals That Are Actually Absorbable Minerals by themselves are poorly absorbed, but when bound to an amino acid (also called a "mineral chelate") they are absorbed much better. Technically the most absorbable form of a mineral is the bisglycinate chelate form, and to avoid the minerals in a multivitamin simply creating expensive pee, I would specifically like to see calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, manganese, chromium, and molybdenum minerals in a chelated form. 4. Curcumin That Is Actually Absorbable Curcumin is one of my favorite supplements, and has received a lot of attention recently as a potent natural anti-inflammatory nutrient that can control brain and muscle inflammation, positively affect muscle health, joint structure and function, and antioxidant activity in the gut, liver, and heart. But the trouble with most curcumin ingredients is that they are extremely poorly absorbed. However, there is one form of curcumin called the phytosome form which was developed by the researchers in Milan, Italy, and has been shown to be absorbed 29 times better than a standard curcumin extract. This is the only form of curcumin that I'd like to see in a multivitamin. 5. Green Tea Extract That Is Actually Absorbable Green tea is another powerful antioxidant that has been shown to have a mild effect on raising metabolic rate and improving fat oxidation. But like standard curcumin extracts, standard green tea extracts are not well absorbed either. But the same researchers who discovered the curcumin phyotosome have also developed green tea phytosome, which provides a much better absorbed form of green tea extract, and would also ideally be in a multivitamin. 6. Adaptogens Stress-fighting adaptogens are another notoriously missing component of most multivitamins, but in our hectic era are a must-have for sleep, de-stressing and hormone balance. One of the most potent adaptogenic compounds that I discovered in my multivitamin research to both lower cortisol levels and raise testosterone levels is called "Relora", and is a blend of magnolia officinalis and phellodendron amurense. If added to a multivitamin, it could also help curb cravings and stress-related eating, and help calm the mind and support rest and relaxation prior to bedtime. As a high intensity guy, this addition would be a very important to me as a necessary multivitamin ingredient. Remember - this all comes down to simplicity. This means that if you or I can't get our hands on a capsule-based, pure and safe, minimalist and simple multivitamin that provides everything I just described above... ...then it means we are instead forced to buy 6, 8, 10 or 12 different supplements to supply our daily nutrient needs and fill in all the "holes" the multivitamin isn't giving. --------------------------------------- Where A Tiny Town In North Idaho Fits In So that's what I've been doing over the past two years. I have been taking a deep, deep dive into educating myself on the wide world of nutrients, supplements, ingredients, fillers, formulations, encapsulation technology and every aspect that goes into creating a multivitamin. And I have literally been pulling my hair out and hitting dead-end after dead-end as I have been trying to hunt down something that meets my strict quality criteria for a multivitamin. Of course, I have also found it incredibly frustrating when my clients, or readers, or podcast listeners or me have to simply keep on taking a crazy number of supplements or buying an unbelievable number of bottles and spending inordinate amounts of money when it's so straightforward to see what a multivitamin that meets all our daily nutrients needs should really have (and not have!) in it. I've even gone so far as to consider simply hunting down the raw ingredients and formulating my own multivitamin. But frankly, I'm an author, an athlete and a teacher - and don't fancy myself as a supplement manufacturer. I just don't have a desire to get into that business. I simply want a multivitamin that I can, with a clear conscience, recommend to you and also take myself. Is that asking too much? And then it happened. During one of the dozens and dozens of phone calls I made and countless hours attempting to hunt down the perfect multivitamin formulation, a raw ingredient manufacturer informed me of the existence of a new multivitamin formulation created by a company called "Thorne Research", in Dover, Idaho. That's right - just 60 miles from the front door of my house, in the tiny town of Dover, Idaho, are the Thorne Research facilities (pictured below). After months and months of searching, it turns out the solution could possibly be right in my own backyard. For over 30 years, Thorne Research has set the standard for exceptional formulations, quality and purity in the dietary supplement industry - and is considered the most respected nutritional supplements brand in the healthcare practitioner space. That's right - this is is the stuff physicians use with their patients. I'd actually heard of Thorne before, but always knew it was just for the fancy doctors and clinicians so I couldn't really access it or use it. So until recently, none of the coveted Thorne Research products were available for me or any other personal trainer to actually recommend to our clients, readers or listeners. Instead, these high-quality, private formulations were only available for physicians or dietitians to use with their patients, and only for certified health care providers to use with their clients. But then, in January 2014, Thorne Research created a new branch called "". ThorneFX was specifically designed to address the growing demand of fitness experts like me who are seeking a solution for our clients, but don't have the privileged access to the fancy formulations that normally only a doctor or clinician would be able to prescribe or order. --------------------------------------- The Greatest Multivitamin On The Face Of The Planet So I thought it was pretty interesting (and exciting) that I now had access to some of the highest quality formulations on the face of the planet, produced in a facility just an hour's drive from my house. But it turned out there was even more good news. I also discovered that when Thorne Research created the ThorneFX branch, they had not just created a multivitamin formulation but they had specifically left no stone unturned to launch the most powerful, absorbable multivitamin on the face of the planet. This was a multivitamin that possibly met all of my strict criteria, but that previously had never been available to the general population unless their doctor or dietitian knew about it. It's called the , and I immediately got my hands on it. Upon closer inspection and using it for 30 days, I instantly knew that this is not your typical multivitamin. Formulated with superior forms of vitamins and minerals, is actually two unique formulations - an AM formula is designed to support daytime energy, and a PM formula designed to support better rest and recovery in the evening. Some of the key differentiators in include: -Vitamins K1 and K2 (most use only K1 or no K2 at all). -Natural folate (5-MTHF) instead of folic acid. -Methylcobalamin instead of cyancobalamin. -Chelated minerals to ensure optimal absorption. -Higher dose of magnesium and calcium than typically found in a multivitamin. -Curcumin Phytosome (curcumin complexed with phosphatidylcholine for superior bioavailability) -Green Tea Phytosome (green tea complexed with phosphatidylcholine for superior bioavailability) -Relora, a blend of adaptogenic plant extracts to aid in relaxation, curb late-night cravings, and balance cortisol, testosterone and DHEA levels. The (pictured below) literally satisfies every criteria I require in a multivitamin: all the notoriously neglected ingredients, a TGA and Informed Choice certification, no GMO's, no nasty fillers and ingredients, a capsule instead of a tablet...everything. I couldn't believe when I first found out about the new formulation. Three easy capsules in the morning, three in the evening. Boom. Simple science. My quest was over. Mission accomplished. See for yourself - below are the label and full ingredients. Morning dose - three capsules contain: Vitamin A (3,000 IU as Beta Carotene and 2,000 IU as Palmitate) 5,000 IU Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) 250 mg Vitamin D (as Vitamin D3) 2,000 IU Vitamin E (as d-Alpha Tocopheryl Acid Succinate) 20 IU Vitamin K (100 mcg as Vitamin K1 and 100 mcg as Vitamin K2) 200 mcg Thiamin (as Thiamin HCl) 50 mg Riboflavin (as Riboflavin 5’-Phosphate Sodium) 12 mg Niacin (as Niacinamide) 60 mg Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate) 20 mg Folate (as L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate from L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid, Glucosamine Salt)* 600 mcg Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin) 600 mcg Biotin 500 mcg Pantothenic Acid (as Calcium Pantothenate) 45 mg Calcium (as Calcium Bisglycinate Chelate) 38 mg Iodine (as Potassium Iodide) 75 mcg Magnesium (as Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate) 63 mg Zinc (as Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate) 10 mg Selenium (as L-Selenomethionine) 100 mcg Copper (as Copper (II) Bisglycinate Chelate) 750 mcg Manganese (as Manganese (II) Bisglycinate Chelate) 1.5 mg Chromium (as Chromium Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate) 200 mcg Molybdenum (as Molybdenum (II) Glycinate Chelate) 50 mcg Curcumin Phytosome** (Curcuma longa extract (root) / Phosphatidylcholine complex) 200 mg Green Tea Phytosome** (Camellia sinensis extract (leaf) decaffeinated / Phosphatidylcholine complex) 75 mg Choline Citrate 50 mg d-Gamma Tocopherol (from Mixed Tocopherols) 24 mg Boron (as Bororganic™ Glycine) 1 mg Lutein (from Aztec Marigold extract (flower) (Tagetes erecta)) 300 mcg Evening dose, three capsules contain: Vitamin A (600 IU as Beta Carotene and 400 IU as Palmitate) 1,000 IU Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) 150 mg Vitamin D (as Vitamin D3) 500 IU Vitamin E (as d-Alpha Tocopheryl Acid Succinate) 20 IU Vitamin K (100 mcg as Vitamin K1 and 100 mcg as Vitamin K2) 200 mcg Folate (as L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate from L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid, Glucosamine Salt)* 400 mcg Biotin 500 mcg Calcium (as Calcium Bisglycinate Chelate) 50 mg Iodine (as Potassium Iodide) 75 mcg Magnesium (as Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate) 107 mg Zinc (as Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate) 20 mg Selenium (as L-Selenomethionine) 100 mcg Copper (as Copper (II) Bisglycinate Chelate) 750 mcg Manganese (as Manganese (II) Bisglycinate Chelate) 1.5 mg Chromium (as Chromium Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate) 200 mcg Molybdenum (as Molybdenum (II) Glycinate Chelate) 50 mcg Proprietary Blend** 200 mg Magnolia officinalis (bark) extract Phellodendron amurense (bark) extract Choline Citrate 100 mg d-Gamma Tocopherol (from Mixed Tocopherols) 24 mg Boron (as Bororganic™ Glycine) 2 mg Lutein (from Aztec Marigold extract (flower) (Tagetes erecta)) 600 mcg The science is obviously there - every nutrient your body needs. But the simplicity is so amazingly refreshing - especially when I pack to travel and literally have one morning bottle and one evening bottle to toss into my suitcase - and of course, a heck of a lot of extra space in my refrigerator. Better yet, if you need some icing on the cake - such as anything extra added in like some , , , a , a , a , - , with the same huge, unparalleled quality that I've never been able to find before. It's like a one-stop shop for everything I have ever looked for or wanted in a nutrition supplements line. --------------------------------------- Summary So that's it: pure and simple. I have never before been able to recommend a complete multivitamin that satisfies all my criteria. And I have always had a refrigerator full of a bunch of bottles. But now the problem is solved. And yes, this means that the ThorneFX is now my recommended, go-to source for the ultimate combination of science and simplicity. Furthermore, the is now something I back, endorse, vouch for and am now using in my own personal daily routine with great success. And the best thing yet? An entire month of the is just 34 bucks. You heard me right: 34 dollars. So rather than forking over hundred of dollars for bottle after bottle of fancy supplements, powders, tablets, pills, and oils, you get one multivitamin that hits all your needs for a mere fraction of the price. Go ahead - spend that extra money you were blowing on 10 different supplements on a fancy steak dinner or chock it away for your kid's college or your next car. Of course, if you're familiar with me, my podcast, or articles I've written in the past, then you may be wondering... ...what about the other supplements I've previously recommended? What about ? What about ? What about my ? The good news is that all of these are still available and still consist of specific ingredients that I may use with certain clients or recommend in certain situations when the need arises. After all, everything I have recommended in the past is all excellent, extremely high-quality stuff, and if you're happy with what you're currently using...then that's fine! But for science, simplicity, peace of mind, and some extra room in my refrigerator and my suitcase, I am moving in the direction of shifting nearly my entire personal supplement protocol to - and specifically what I have discovered to be the greatest multivitamin on the face of the planet: the . , feel free to ask me about how to use or implement into your current protocol, and leave any questions about any substitutions or replacements for other supplements you're currently taking. I promise to personally respond and walk you through everything. Enjoy the new simplicity in your life!
