Supplements
Why use supplements?
Supplemental to your diet
Chelated
Where to trust.
Preservatives, additives. Additional additives block
absorption.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D3
The Sunshine Vitamin: 5-10 minutes, 2-3x/week
November - March supplement recommended
How much? 1,000 - 2,000 i.u. per day.
Bone Health
Vitamin D
Essential is promoting calcium homeostasis. Enhances calcium and phosphorus
absorption.
Support hip and nonvertebral bone health.
Enhances bone strength, lessening the risk of falling in women 65 or older.
Cognitive Function
Higher level of serum vitamin D is associated with positive mood and mental performance.
Vitamin D receptors have been found in areas of the brain involved in both memory and
cognition
Cellular Health
Helps maintain healthy blood vessel development
Studies show best when working with Calcium for cellular development than with Calcium
alone.
May be important in maintaining breast, ovary, uterine, prostate, esophagus, stomach,
Immune Health
Vitamin D
Helps maintain healthy immune cell maturation, differentiation, and migration.
Populations with limited sunlight exposure or vitamin D deficiency have been found to
have weakened immune systems compared to those with greater exposure to direct
sunlight.
Cardiovascular Health
Associated with a healthy inflammatory response, proper cytokine production and
enhanced endogenous antioxidant defense.
Associated with healthy blood vessel relaxation and blood flow.
Nerve Health
Journal of the American Medical Association study of 7 million US mility personnel
indicates high circulating levels of vitamin D were associated with nerve and myelin
health.
May protect neural health by supporting immune function, nerve conduction potential,
neuronal calcium regulation and antioxidant defense.

Few Dietary
Sources
Magnesium
Magnesium Glycinate
Has over 350 functions in the body
Up to 80% of Americans are deficient
Essential for heart and muscle metabolism. Mg
deficiency triggers or causes 22 conditions.
Magnesium
Anxiety and panic attacks
Asthma
Hypoglycemia
Insomnia
Kidney Disease
Blood clots
Liver Disease
Bowel disease
Migraine
Cystitis
Musculoskeletal conditions
Depression
Nerve problems
Detoxification
Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome
Fatigue
Heart Disease
Hypertension
Obstetricsand Gynecology - PMS,
dysmenorrhea, infertility, premature
contractions, preeclampsia, lessens the
risk of cerebral palsy and SIDS
Osteoporosis
Raynaud’s Syndrome
Tooth decay
Protein Powder
Conventional - contain hydrolyzed whey protein
concentrate, maltodextrin, natural and artificial flavors,
artificial sweeteners, corn syrup, and other
preservatives.
Important which brand you purchase and which
protein source.
Whey protein
Brown Rice Protein
Other plant-based powders
Fish Oil
Omega 3 fatty acids - EPA & DHA
The American diet is LOW
High Omega 6 : Omega 3
Vital nutrients for healthy
cardiovascular, brain, nerve, vision,
joint, skin and immune systems.
Flax oil?
“Fishy” taste?
Omega 3’s EPA & DHA
Cardiovascular Health
Help modulate a healthy stable heartbeat
Help maintain blood vessels to support circulation throughout the body.
May support artery wall elasticity and may favorably influence C-reactive protein
levels.
Safe and effective method for normalizing triglyceride levels
Brain and Nerve Function
Supports cognitive function as a vital component of brain tissue and neurons
Improves membrane fluidity = may help support nerve transmission processes
May serve to protect and enhance the lifetime of neurons.
Omega 3’s EPA & DHA
Healthy Vision
DHA is found in high amounts in the retina and is important for
normal vision
Immune System Health
Required for balanced eicosanoid formation, which supports
balanced and healthy immune responses.
Healthy Joints and Movement
Support healthy joints and comfortable movement by supporting
healthy physiological processes.
Probiotics
Increases healthy immune bacteria
Improves digestion
Resolves GI upset, bad breath
Should be refrigerated
Acidophilus
Potency of the probiotic is important
MultiVitamin
Supplemental to diet
Reassurance getting required
nutrients
look at specific nutrients Vit D, Mg
Excess amounts can be harmful but
ranges in MVIs don’t come close to
these upper limits
Supplements
Recommended/Trusted Brands
Metagenics
Pure Encapsulations
Carlson’s
Metabolic Maintenance
GMP Certification
Health Claims
“High”, “Rich in”, or “Excellent Source Of”
20% or more of the Daily Value (DV)
“Good Source”, “Contains”, or “Provides”
10 - 19% of DV
“More”, “Fortified”, “Enriched”, “Added”, “Extra”,
“Plus”
10% or more of the DV
Health Claims
“Low Fat”
< 5g fat
“Low Sat Fat”
< 2g sat fat
“Lean”
<10g of total fat, 4.5 g or less of saturated fat, and < 95mg
cholesterol
“Extra Lean”
< 5g of total fat, 2 g or less of saturated fat, and < 95mg
cholesterol
Health Claims
Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the
risk of osteoporosis in later life.
Diets low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and total fat may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some
types of cancer.
25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of
heart disease.
Healthful diets with adequate folate may reduce a woman's risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord
birth defect.
Development of heart disease depends on many factors. Eating a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol
and high in fruits, vegetables, and grain products that contain fiber may lower blood cholesterol levels and
reduce your risk of heart disease.
Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors.
