Vitamins and Supplements

Recommened :

Standard Daily Multi-Vitamin

In general, a good daily multivitamin/mineral supplement improves your overall bodily functioning and boosts both your physical and mental health and well-being. Sometimes supplementation with specific nutrients may be more appropriate in order to address any individual specific needs. For example, CoQ10 is especially helpful for those at risk for heart disease, and Vitamins C and E, taken in combination to help ward off Alzheimer's disease. A multivitamin supplement usually contains the recommended daily dose of a variety of vitamins and other nutrients. Sometimes, multivitamin supplements are formulated for specific age groups, or individual conditions such as pregnancy. Multivitamins also are at their most efficient when they are in liquid form, as the body has been proven to absorb them five times more efficiently than multivitamins in pill form.

Iron-
It is an essential mineral and an important component of proteins involved in oxygen transport and metabolism within your body. Almost two-thirds of the iron in your body is found in hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's tissues. Smaller amounts of iron are found in myoglobin, a protein that helps supply oxygen directly to muscle tissue, and in enzymes that assist biochemical reactions in cells. About 14-16 percent of your body's iron is stored for future needs and mobilized when dietary supplies are inadequate. The remainder iron is in your body�s tissues as part of proteins that help your body function. You lose a lot of oxygen in your system when you heavily restrict and fast. 

B-12-
It plays an important role in cellular division and is vital to growth. In addition, it assists the body with the burning of fats and carbohydrates. A deficiency of B-12 can also lead to anemia and fatigue. It also seems to play a large role in protection against heart disease.

The safe upper limit for vitamin C is 2,000 milligrams a day.***

Functions and Benefits of Vitamin C

• Collagen formation,
• Increase absorption of inorganic iron
• Roles in the metabolism of folic acid, some amino acids, and hormones

Not only is vitamin C a well-known component of your immune system, it is also necessary for collagen, the main structural protein found in connective tissue. A healthy dose of vitamin C will protect your body from infection and maintain healthy bones and teeth, as well as quicken the body's ability to repair wounds.

Vitamin D I use the gel tabs

Children/Adults 9-70 years 600 IU***

The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. It is used, alone or in combination with calcium, to increase bone mineral density and decrease fractures. Recently, research also suggests that vitamin D may provide protection from osteoporosis, hypertension (high blood pressure), cancer, and several autoimmune diseases.


Green Tea Fat Burner I use by Applied Nutrition

Green Tea-
Green tea will help to boost your metabolism making it easier for the body to burn fat. It also helps to prevent your body from absorbing fat from the foods you are eating. More importantly, using green tea in weight loss helps your body to regulate its blood sugar levels which then helps to reduce those food cravings that everyone gets while dieting.


Caffeine- 
Whether it comes from a pill or a cup of coffee, caffeine can work as an appetite suppressant, according to the National Institute of Health. It might stimulate thermogenesis, which is one way your body generates heat and energy from digesting food. Another reason that caffeine has been connected to weight loss for years is because it acts as a diuretic, by increasing the amount of urine you excrete. Water loss can temporarily decrease your body weight, but not in the long term. Because it boosts your energy, caffeine can help improve exercise performance and endurance.
