Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    B: Hi Dr Cabral - I take the Daily Fruit and Vegetable Blend, and I see it contains Camu Camu amongst other fruits which is high in Vitamin C. I didn't see vitamin information on the Supplement Facts, and I was curious what would you estimate the DFV to provide as far as Vitamin C. Would you estimate it's more than 100% of the daily recommended intake? Thanks for a great product.   Tina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for everything you do! You are a blessing to all of us and are greatly appreciated!!!….. So, my son is 7 years old and was diagnosed with Methylmalonic Acidemia on his newborn screening. His body can not properly break down protein. And he will have to be more of a vegetarian. But the problem is that he has always been a super picky and doesn't like vegetables. Since he started eating solids the doctors told me to feed him what he will eat. (With his condition he can't go a day without eating or he can go into a metabolic crisis). I have tried almost everything to get him to eat vegetables and he wants nothing to do with it. What can I do to get him to eat healthier? The doctors say that it's a stage that some kids go through and he will grow out of it. Thank you again!!!   Noelle: Hello! Thank you for all you do – I am learning so much from your podcast in the short time since I discovered it, and am very grateful for the wisdom and resources that you provide. My question is regardinga recently discovered receding gum line on several teeth. I am 25 and do not have a history of dental  issues (I had a root canal in high school, but that's about it), though I do have chronic pain and a number of other random problems that I have been working through for a decade now. It was a bit of an alarming discovery, and I have been scouring the Internet attempting to discern how I might have caused this. What would be your primary recommendations to keep this from getting worse/improve it if that is at all possible?   Mallory: Hi Dr Cabral! I submitted a question a couple of months ago about mold/fungus in my sinuses, and your answer helped me so much! Thank you! I had a couple of follow-up questions. I've struggled with mold / fungal / bacteria overgrowth since I was a child (I had 4 sinus surgeries & was on almost constant antibiotics from the age of 4 to 12). I am 28 years old and am just now getting treatment for the root cause. Ochatroxin A was at 25 when last tested in Feb. Are you able to help me have an idea as to how long I may be detoxing for? I would love to start a family soon but I am currently seeing biofilm in my stool & urine every day, and have been for almost a year. I have pain in my lungs and anxiety while detoxing. I was strict with my diet for 2 months, but as I begin to introduce more foods, I feel pretty poor. My husband and I moved out of our 110 year old home that had visible mold to a 10 year old house. We did get the new house mold tested, and they assured us the house was mold free. We have since found small amounts of mold in the pantry and kitchen. We also brought some things over from the old house that could had mold spores in them, such as clothing. Should we get rid of that clothing? Are small amounts of mold spores okay if we have a good air purifier?   Amy: I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Root Cause Protocol (iron disregulation caused by copper/magnesium/ceruloplasmin imbalance) and if you've read the book. Thanks!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am really interested in Ayurveda and I was wondering if there is histamine intolerance is connected to the Pitta dosha(based on the physical body type). If so, why are dry and astrigent foods usually recommended for pitta imbalance such as beans not recommended when you have histamine intolerance. I understand that these food lists should not be taken at face value and there is a lot more complexity to Ayurveda in general so I would love your input on it.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2416 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

B-12 helps to keep your brain healthy and even helps to prevent Alzheimer's disease as you age. Hi, I'm registered dietitian nutritionist Dr. Susan Mitchell. You're listening to the Bariatric Surgery Success podcast episode number 66. Most of my career I've worked in some type of media, particularly radio where I did morning drive nutrition spots for over 18 years. That's what lead me to start podcasting and ultimately to you. I created Bariatric Surgery Success to provide you with life-changing information based on science along with simple strategies and tools to help you be successful in your transformation and your entire journey. So happy you've connected with me. You're in the right place and I'm glad you're listening.I want to give a shout out to Brittany who posted in the FB group: I love your podcasts!

On facebook, search groups for bariatric surgery success with dietitian dr susan mitchell and ask to join. Click for the direct link.Has someone told you to take vitamin B-12 for brain fog after bariatric surgery? First let's take a broad look at the brain, then vitamin B-12 and it's tie to your brain and finally bring it home to bariatric surgery. Your brain has a lot of demands. It needs both calories and nutrients or vitamins and minerals. Don't miss this fact. The brain uses 20% of your calories. Did you have any idea it was that high? B-vitamins, folate, zinc and other vitamins and minerals all join in to keep the brain healthy. A deficiency of these can cause depression type symptoms, poor memory, problems with attention, learning, fatigue, mood and appetite or what just feels like brain fog or brain impairment. This is one of the big reasons that follow up lab work after your surgery is so very important. If you listen to some of my other podcasts, you know I talk about many vitamins and minerals working together as a team. B-vitamins, folate, zinc and other vitamins and minerals such as thiamin all work like an effective basketball team in your brain. Deficiencies in these or even too few carbs can all cause brain fog but today the focus is on your brain and B-12 also known as cobalamin.A B-12 deficiency after weight loss surgery is very common but did you know that B-12 deficiency increases with age too? This happens for a couple of reasons. Often as you get older, you tend to eat less, which decreases the amount of B12 in your diet. Also up to 1/3 of people who are 50+ don't absorb B-12 from their food because they don't produce enough stomach acid. This is the same thing happening after bariatric surgery but for a different reason. You have surgical changes which affect absorption. Less B12 is released in the stomach as much of the stomach is bypassed or removed. Add age to the picture and a low vitamin B-12 blood level is tied to what feels like brain fog or brain impairment and could also be tied to dementia including Alzheimer's disease. Maybe you've heard the word homocysteine. A high homocysteine level is not something you want. It's an amino acid in the blood and elevated levels have been linked to dementia, heart disease, stroke. The good news is that homocysteine can be lowered with the B vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid which seem to slow down the loss of brainpower.Let's review the science in today's Science 101 on Vitamin B-12 specific to bariatric surgery. The absorption of B-12 can be affected due to changes in acid production and reduced availability of what's called the intrinsic factor. This intrinsic factor helps the B-12 to be absorbed and used by the body. When it's not there or insufficient, B-12 doesn't get absorbed and used as it should. You could experience brain fog symptoms and feel like your coordination is off plus numbness and tingling of your arms, legs. This is a prime reason why routine screenings are so important and typically done every six months or so. These screenings help your health care provider pick up on a possible deficiency hopefully before it becomes a problem. Two other tips to keep in mind. First, are you taking proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Prilosec, Nexium or Prevacid? These meds reduce stomach acid and stomach acid is necessary to absorb B-12. Even meds such as Zantac or Pepcid can increase the risk for B-12 deficiency. Number two. Alcohol. It inhibits the absorption of B vitamins such as B12 and thiamine. Even without alcohol, you may already be struggling to get enough of these vitamins due to surgery so be aware. Go back and listen to podcast #30 on Bariatric Surgery and Alcohol Buzz for more in depth info. As a reminder. Do you recall what foods contain B12?B12 is found in protein foods like meat, eggs, cheese, fish, chicken, milk, and fortified breakfast cereals meaning it was added to the cereal. You want these in your diet but the amount needed is higher than typically what food can provide. How much vitamin B-12 do you need after surgery? The dose is 250-500 micrograms (ug) a day with most suggestions in the 350-500 microgram range daily or 1000 mcg every other day. The dose depends on your surgery, your lab results and the route of administration meaning under the tongue, injection, etc. Sometimes an intramuscular injection of B12 or a nasal spray will be ordered by health care team. You can take B12 at any time or with any other supplements. It's likely that your multi will have enough B-12 in it so check the label before you buy additional. Be sure and discuss your lab screenings with your health care team before you decide to take any extra.PS Check out the Supplement Facts on a number of products to see what you like best.

In a world where we are bombarded with health advice, it is easy to feel lost in a sea of unverified information. From dietary supplementation to exercise, we are inundated with suggestions, hard-sell advertisements and sometimes peer pressure, to take up one regime or another. LLAMA's advice is simple; consult your primary care doctor or healthcare professional if you are considering lifestyle changes that involve a new diet or exercise program.  In this episode, we meet a family physician who has been wrestling with frequently asked questions and evolving medical science for over forty years. Dr. Walt Larimore is  the author of multiple books and articles on healthcare, including the Natural Medicine Handbook: The truth about the Most Effective Herbs, Vitamins and Supplements for Common Conditions.  In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Dr. Larimore, who is based in the US city of Colorado Springs, explains how he sorts fact from fiction; why he says sufferers from some of the most debilitating diseases are being offered false hope; and how simple everyday steps can be taken to promote optimum health without the need for any external interventions. Recorded: June 8, 2021 | Read a transcript and show notes at the LLAMA podcast website.In this interview we cover:A family doctor's introduction to sharing information about natural medicines on TV Why consumers are easy confused by a supplement industry which is unregulated in the US.Access to independent quality testing labs to enhance our knowledge about nutritional supplements.  A lack of training covering nutrition and supplementation for primary care doctors How to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of natural medicines based on reliable sources, such as Natural Medicines, ConsumerLab.com and LabDoor.com  Are we being bamboozled into taking supplements that we don't need?  What are the alternatives?  Simple lifestyle habits like avoiding tobacco, regular movement, a good diet and restful sleep to promote good health. Choosing an evidence based nutrition plan for optimum health. How to filter the available information based on accessibility, cost and nutritional value. Why is a Mediterranean type diet highly-rated as a nutrition plan?Finding recipes and exercise programs that involve fun and suit the entire family Incorporating movement into your life, little by little, to nurture the mind and body.  The common conditions that lead to enduring ill-health, such as heart disease, hypertension, diseases of the brain, including Alzheimer's and the scourge of obesity. The advertising industry and false hope for people suffering from dementia. Religious struggle and health challenges.Daily, spiritual discipline to promote good health and wellbeing. The Live Long and Master Aging podcast, a HealthSpan Media LLC production, shares ideas but does not offer medical advice.  If you have health concerns of any kind, or you are considering adopting a new diet or exercise regime, you should consult your doctor.

Do you need to buy a separate vitamin D supplement if it's in your multi? What about iron? Do you need another supplement for it too? The right supplementation is so important to your success after bariatric surgery. This is part 2 of the 6 Must-Have Vitamin & Mineral Supplements after Bariatric Surgery. Hi, I'm registered dietitian nutritionist Dr. Susan Mitchell. You're listening to the Bariatric Surgery Success podcast episode number 54. Most of my career I've worked in some type of media, particularly radio where I did morning drive nutrition spots for over 18 years. That's what lead me to start podcasting and ultimately to you. I created Bariatric Surgery Success to provide you with life-changing information based on science along with simple strategies and tools to help you be successful in your transformation and your entire journey. So happy you've connected with me. You're in the right place and I'm glad you're listening. Remember in part one we talked about when you have weight loss surgery, vitamin and mineral supplementation is one of those items that will be on your daily to-do list from now on. The right supplements are part of your new lifelong strategy for success. So which supplements do you need? Let's dig into more general suggestions for bariatric surgery remembering that your health care team may tweak these some based on your lab work and surgical procedure. In part 1, we looked in-depth at multivitamin and mineral supplements which give you good A-Z coverage and then we covered vitamin B-12.  If you missed it, the podcast is #53. Today in part 2, we'll discuss iron, calcium and vitamin D, and thiamine. The iron in your multivitamin mineral supplement may be sufficient and you won't need to purchase a separate one. You can find doses of iron in multis ranging from 18mg up to 36, 45, 60mg or even more but these are typical. Your dose will depend on your lab work, if you're female and still have your period, hope to get pregnant or if you're anemic whether male or female. Your iron need is a good one to discuss with your bariatric dietitian. Here's a smart strategy for you: Take Vitamin C or consume a vitamin C rich food at the same time as you take your iron to increase iron absorption. If both C and iron are in your multi, you're good to go. If you're eating an iron rich food such as black beans for example, also eating food containing vitamin C such as a tangerine will boost the iron absorption. Don't miss this tip: Whether your multi contains iron which it usually does or you take it separately, be sure and take your calcium at a different time, about 2 hours later or the calcium will not be absorbed well by your body. Speaking of calcium, Calcium Citrate is better absorbed than other types such as calcium carbonate. Recommended daily dose will be somewhere from 600 mg per day up to 1,200-1,500 mg per day. We just said that calcium should not be taken with iron. The other important strategy for calcium is to take it in divided doses of 500-600 mg at a time. Why? That's the maximum amount your body can absorb at one time and you don't want to waste it. Calcium is often sold in combination with vitamin D which helps increase the absorption of calcium from the intestine. You can take vitamin D with your calcium or get your vitamin D in your multi. How much Vitamin D do you need? The general recommendation is to take 3,000 International Units (IU) of Vitamin D3 per day. Your dose may be higher depending on your blood test. Be sure and look at the Supplement Facts on the multi or the calcium/vitamin D product and see if the vitamin D is D3, how much is in the supplement and the percent Daily Value. Remember the Supplement Facts label is on the back of products. This Supplement Facts label is specific to the US and I realize that if you're listening from another country things will be different. The label tells you the serving size. Plus you'll see each vitamin and mineral listed with the amount of each one and the percent Daily Value or the percentage of your daily needs. What about Thiamin AKA vitamin B1: at least 12 mg should be included in your daily multi to prevent a deficiency so again check the label before you purchase. However, a thiamin deficiency can occur with rapid weight loss, persistent vomiting, or not getting enough thru diet and you may be treated more quickly with higher doses than found in a supplement. Also very important to have your screening for thiamine deficiency. It can make you quite sick. Check out various supplement companies. Try samples if they offer them. I partner with ProCare Health. Plus if you receive my Breaking Down Nutrition newsletter, there will be a 10% off code in there again this week too. If you don't receive the newsletter, you can sign up for it on the home page of my website Breaking Down Nutrition. Remember, take your supplements on schedule. It m makes a huge difference in your success. You're worth it!

Did you know that vitamin & mineral supplementation typically begins at the time of discharge from the hospital, usually 2–4 days after surgery? Any idea what the must-have vitamins and minerals are for your body? What about when to take them and how much to take? The right supplementation is so important to your success. Hi, I'm registered dietitian nutritionist Dr. Susan Mitchell. You're listening to the Bariatric Surgery Success podcast episode number 53. Most of my career I've worked in some type of media, particularly radio where I did morning drive nutrition spots for over 18 years. That's what lead me to start podcasting and ultimately to you. I created Bariatric Surgery Success to provide you with life-changing information based on science along with simple strategies and tools to help you be successful in your transformation and your entire journey. So happy you've connected with me. You're in the right place and I'm glad you're listening. Let's get right to it… Vitamin and mineral supplementation is a lifelong part of bariatric surgery. When you have weight loss surgery, vitamin and mineral supplementation is one of those items that will be on your daily to-do list from now on. Call it a behavior modification, lifestyle change or a tweak to your daily routine. However you look at it, supplements are part of your new lifelong strategy for success. Nutritional deficiencies are common after weight loss surgery and the type of surgery performed does make a difference. For example, vitamin and mineral deficiencies are more common after procedures like Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or biliopancreatic diversion as compared to sleeve gastrectomy and adjustable gastric banding. That's why you always hear me say to circle back with your health care team for clarity if you're unsure about which supplements they recommend for your procedure. Recommendations vary between surgical centers and even professionals groups so don't be surprised if your supplements suggestions are different from someone else you know who's had surgery. Let's start with three important tips to keep in mind: 1. As I mentioned at the start of the podcast, vitamin & mineral supplementation usually begins when you go home from the hospital which is typically 2–4 days after surgery. So if you've had surgery and are home now, you should have started on supplements. We'll talk about which ones in a minute. 2. Your body has changed in it's ability to absorb vitamins and minerals. How much it's changed depends on the surgical procedure. When selecting your products, chewable or suckable pills, or liquids are a really good idea the first 3-6 months. Then if you choose and your health care provider doesn't have you on any specific regimen, you can switch to capsules or tablets. 3. Routine vitamin and mineral screenings/lab tests should be part of your care from your health care team. How often and what they screen for will vary with your procedure. A lot has changed in the vitamin-mineral world. In the not-to-distant past, bariatric-specific supplements weren't common so we combined various over-the-counter products to get what we needed. Today, many companies provide a wide variety of bariatric supplements. In fact, there so many to choose from, it's easy to become overwhelmed or unclear about which ones to take. You'll need to do some label sleuthing and I'll show you how. So which supplements do you need? Let's dig into the general suggestions for bariatric surgery knowing that your health care team may tweak these. Today, in part 1, we'll talk about multivitamin and mineral supplements along with vitamin B-12.  In part 2, we'll cover iron, calcium and vitamin D and thiamine. First on the list. Take a complete multivitamin plus mineral supplement that is bariatric specific. What the heck does that mean? Complete means it contains the typical A-Z formulation of vitamins and minerals similar to what you find in an adult supplement but in amounts recommended for bariatric surgery. Make sure it includes both vitamins and minerals and specifically check for vitamins A, D, E, K, folic acid and thiamin along with the minerals iron, zinc, selenium and copper. If it's a good quality bariatric supplement it will contain all of these and more. Here's a need to know: you can find a multi both with and without iron. It's fine to take your iron in the multi as long as you haven't been put on a higher dose.  Also, the numbers of multis you take everyday will vary based on the brand. Typically the dose will be one or two tablets, capsules or chewables per day. How do you know? Label sleuth time. This is what I want to show you. Do you have a vitamin container near by? Go get one. Now take a look at the Supplement Facts label which you'll find on the back of most products. This Supplement Facts label is what you'll find in the US and I realize that if you're listening from another country, you'll have a different label. At the top of the label you'll see the serving size such as 1 chewable tablet. Then you'll see listed each vitamin and mineral along with the amount per serving and the percent Daily Value. Percent daily value or DV is the percentage that chew provides of your daily needs for each of the vitamins and minerals listed.  You'll want to see 100-200% Daily Value for most every vitamin and mineral but there will likely be a few that are higher such as thiamine, vitamin B12 or even iron. Don't miss this tip: Sometimes you need more iron than what's in your supplement and we'll talk about that in part two but if you multi contains iron which it usually does, be sure and take your calcium separately, wait about 2 hours or more from the time you take the multi or the calcium will not be absorbed well by your body. Vitamin B-12 aka cobalamin: the dose is 250-500 micrograms (ug) a day with most suggestions in the 350-500 microgram range daily or 1000 mcg every other day.  The dose depends on your surgery, your lab results and the route of administration…meaning under the tongue, you swallow it, etc. Sometimes an intramuscular injection of B12 or a nasal spray will be ordered by health care team. You can take B12 at any time or with any other supplements. It's likely that your multi will have enough B-12 in it so check the label before you buy additional. Be sure and discuss your lab screenings with your health care team before you decide to take any extra. Today's Science 101 on Vitamin B-12. The absorption of B-12 can be affected by bariatric surgery due to changes in acid production and reduced availability of what's called the intrinsic factor. This intrinsic factor helps the B-12 to be absorbed and used by the body. When it's not there or insufficient, B-12 doesn't get absorbed and used as it should. You could experience neurological symptoms which include numbness and tingling of your arms, legs and skin plus feel like your coordination is off. This is a prime reason why routine screenings are so important and typically done every six months or so. These screenings help your health care provider pick up on a possible deficiency hopefully before it becomes a problem.

In 2016, FDA announced its Final Rule requiring both the Nutrition Facts and Supplement Facts boxes on product labels get updated to reflect new scientific information and to help consumers make more informed choices. Most brands have until 2020 until they need to update their labels, but some have already implanted the changes. This has caused confusion among consumers who question why products have different labels. While FDA has a campaign to help educate consumers on the changes to the Nutrition Facts Panel, it doesn’t have a similar program for the Supplement Facts Panel. In this podcast, Brian Wommack, senior vice president, communications, Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), discusses the update to the Supplement Facts Panel and how brands can help consumers navigate the change.

Tel Aviv born producer Chaim is known for his tapestry of organic sounds which have been released on BPitch Control, Rumors, Cocoon, Supplement Facts, Visionquest and lots more. He's also formed a tight bond with DJ and fellow Israeli, Guy Gerber. Impossible to define his sound into any one category, you can expect a blend of everything from deep house to dubby techno, tastefully weaved throughout each of his sets. Ahead of his Egg LDN return on 6th October alongside Jan Blomqvist (live), YokoO and Dusty Love Tribe DJs, Chaim has created an exclusive podcast for us which shines a light on his style until the last beat.

You can call him boundary pusher, quality producer, master performer or you can just call him Sierra Sam. With 15 years in the electronic world under his belt, this Belgian force of nature has amassed quite a number of notable performances at Fabric and the likes, releases on Supplement Facts, Wolf Trap and many others, as well as collaborations with Monika Kruse and FuckPony to name a few. Today, he's managing the labels Contexterrior and TuningSpork from Berlin while making waves through his live jams. Here's one for you and for the books: an all-analogue, fully improvised, live set recorded at Watergate alongside Yappacc. We're done talking, you can run to hit play now.

‘Rumour has it that while Clarian was institutionalized at a human testing facility in the North Coast, he began song-writing as an occupational therapy to reconstruct visions of unknown origin.’ When an artist’s bio starts like that you know you are dealing with someone who is not operating on the same frequency as the rest of the pack. And in Clarian North’s case, he is so far left from centre he is pretty much off the chart. The Canadian has been moving and shaking at his own pace over the last 3 years or so, producing the sort of music that is uniquely his own but fresh at the same time. He first came to the attention through his Footprintz moniker (alongside Addy Weitzman) which resulted in multiple singles and one full length release on Visionquest Records. Since then Clarian has gone on to carve out a career as a solo producer with releases on labels like Life and Death, My Favorite Robot, Supplement Facts, Turbo, Natura Sonoris and many more. Last year’s ‘Mission To Bars’ release on Kompakt showcased his flair for aural drama, especially the epic ‘Space Noir’, and we can only imagine what else he will bring to the table in the future. His Balance Selections podcast is a suitably smooth leftfield/chill out/whatever mix which should soundtrack many an after party.... This one is pretty special.

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!

Track List: Live DJ Set Biography: Guy Gerber has been stirring up electronic audiences with his anthem releases and live shows for quite some time. After countless productions for major labels, dance ensembles and electro rock bands, which earned him many awards and praises, Guy was ready for a major hit. His universally embraced single on Bedrock Records, Stoppage Time, became the stand out anthem of the year at the likes of Cocoon at Amnesia, and DC 10. The single has surpassed the 5-digit mark in sales and continues to shift by the truckload, and to appear on numerous compilations. Last summer's success led to Guy joining the Cocoon family. First came This Is Balagan, which attracted Sven’s attention to Guy’s unique melodies and production skills. Then came Sea of Sand, collaboration with Shlomi Aber, which appeared on Cocoon’s Compilation F, with its breathtaking memorable melody, that introduced Guy’s production to a wide new range of electronic audiences. When the single came out, accompanied by After Love, Guy was already spotted as the hottest name around. On New Year’s Eve 2007, Guy introduced to the world his new live show, rocking major events and festivals, such as Time Warp, Blue & Green, WMC SAMC, Sonar, SMS and many more. His tour included the electronic scene's most prestigious clubs, such as Fabric London, Panorama Berlin, Bar/Berghain Berlin, Amensia Ibiza, Cocoon Frankfurt, Goa Rome as well as South America and Asia. While touring with his live show, Guy was busy working on two other projects, which played a major roll in his life: The first was his album, Late Bloomers, which demonstrates Guy's vast knowledge of the history of music, was released on Cocoon May 2007, and was supported by a world tour; The other is Guy's self imprint, Supplement Facts, now a favorite of some of the biggest DJs around. An addict to his studio work, Guy continues to work on his follow up album and new releases, while still touring the biggest clubs and festivals in the world.
