This question, though never directly asked is one of the most crucial in our business. With the amount of people who don’t take dietary supplements, it’s obvious many already think the answer is “we don’t need dietary supplements”. We’ve let this un-asked question go un-answered thinking we would overstate the obvious, but upon reflection have decided that it must be addressed.
The thing is there can be a lot of confusion around dietary supplements. Don’t we get all the nutrition we need from the foods that we eat? If we’re taking the recommended daily amounts of fruits and vegetables why would we need supplements? Do dietary supplements really do any good?
At the same time, we're hearing more and more about good fats versus bad fats, the benefits of higher amounts of fruits and vegetables in our diets and the poor health of people who mostly eat fast foods. What do we make of these examples of the nutrients we consume and their affects on the human body?
The fact is, in this age of fast food, high stress, pollution and a fast-paced life we push our bodies more than ever while failing to supply ourselves with the necessary nutrients that keep us healthy, active and feeling good.
Unlike any other time in history, we have one of the best and most diverse food supplies available and yet because of lifestyle or poor choice, a significant portion of us are failing to get sufficient amounts of the necessary nutrients we need.
For example, the average person in America eats just over one serving of vegetables per day and just under one serving of fruit. Nearly 25% of us eat no fruit or vegetables at all. For those of us who do get one serving of vegetables per day, that serving turns out to be more times than not…French fries. Research indicates that fewer than 9% of us actually consume the recommended 5 to 7 servings of fruit and vegetables each day that we should.
When looking at the data from nutritional surveys we find that more than half of the population does not take in the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of the most common of nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium and much less the literally thousands of micronutrients and plant-based phytonutrients found in the foods we should be eating. And the RDA was designed by the government as a guide to provide the absolute minimum requirements for healthy people. It does not take into consideration the changing chemistries of people aging past 35, people who are overweight or overstressed, nor in less than optimum health such as people with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or those who smoke or drink. Add to that people in more "stressful" environments like polluted cities and the RDA seems woefully low.
In order to get the nutrients that we need, our best source is of course good quality food, particularly fruits and vegetables. But there are a lot of things that can prevent us from eating the way we know we should as well as things that detract from the quality of food even when we do.
There is a monumental amount of handling and processing that goes into getting food from the farm to your plate. Some foods can lose as much as a third of their vitamin C levels with the ordinary use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers and nearly every food suffers losses secondary to transportation, storage, and excessive processing. So even if you are part of the 9% that actually eats 5 to 7 servings of fruit and vegetables per day, the actual nutritional content of the food itself may be compromised.
Dietary supplements (as the name suggests), is a way to fill in the gaps of your daily intake of nutrients. Taking dietary supplements is a way to make up for poor diet through lifestyle or quality of food as well as enhance the amount of nutrients beyond what you'd be able to do from just eating. Taking dietary supplements provides the amounts of macro and micro-nutrients, including phytonutrients, at a level that provides for cells, tissues, and organs allowing them to function at their highest possible level.
START WITH THE BASICS
Are you young and healthy and just want to get started on a regiment that may help to prevent future health issues? Are you in a high stress situation or job? Do you have a family history of chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or arthritis? For each of these there is a dietary supplement that can help your body combat these conditions, but if you're just getting into the idea of dietary supplements, we recommend four basic supplements that everyone, no matter the age or lifestyle, should take.
Antioxidants
A free radical is a molecule that has been damaged and because of that damage has greater potential to cause damage in other molecules. Oxygen free radicals are among the most dangerous of free radicals because they have the ability to cause damage to our cellular nuclear structures such as DNA. This kind of damage can lead to cellular mutation and cancer formation. Cholesterol in its non-oxidized state is harmless, but once exposed to oxygen free radicals it can change into a form that promotes hardening of the arteries. It is also very strongly believed that the accumulation of free radicals is behind the very process of aging itself and has been implicated in more than 50 diseases.
Antioxidant nutrients have the ability to prevent the damage caused by free radicals and in many cases can un-do damage that has already occurred. Because of this ability, antioxidants can alter and lower the risk of disease perhaps even slowing the aging process itself
Phytonutrients
Phytonutrient simply means a chemical manufactured by a plant that has a biologic role in human physiology. There are more than 8,000 known phytonutrients with more being discovered nearly every day. Phytonutrients include the common things we think of as nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and enzymes, but also include the thousands of nutrients that most of us have never heard of such as polyphenols, carotinoids, and plant sterols. Phytonutrients are involved in regulating and stimulating every life process that we have including but not limited to energy production, hormone regulation, as well as protection, support and regulation of genetic responses to environmental challenges.
Multivitamins
There are 13 vitamins that are divided into two groups – 9 vitamins are able to dissolve in water (8 B-vitamins plus vitamin C) and 4 vitamins that dissolve in fat (A, E, D, & K).
Life cannot exist without vitamins. They are absolutely essential for normal growth, repair, and development. Without vitamins we would be unable to properly process the foods that we eat. Each vitamin is involved in a multitude of different biological reactions and can play a variety of roles such as antioxidant (stops or reverses free radical damage), hormone (stimulates cellular function), catalyst (causes a chemical reaction to occur), substrate (a part of a molecule), and/or precursor (something from which a molecule can be made). Vitamins facilitate the chemical reactions that produce and repair such things as skin, bone and muscle. Even relatively minor deficiencies can reduce optimal function and can even cause permanent changes and/or damage to our health.
Multimineral
Minerals are also divided into two groups – macro (those needed in larger amounts) and micro (those needed only in very small amounts). There are 7 macro-minerals and more than 70 micro-minerals. Macro-minerals include Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium and Sulphur. Micro-minerals include, but are not limited to Boron, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Germainium, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium, Silicone, Vanadium and Zinc.
We get our minerals either from the food we eat or the water we drink. Most minerals in food are chelated (bonded) with parts of the food itself. Minerals in water are ionic (held in electronic suspension). We can only absorb the ionic form of a mineral so chelated minerals are converted to the ionic form in our digestive system prior to absorption.
However, there are some factors that can prevent the uptake of minerals even when they may be available in our food. The absorptive surfaces of our digestive system need adequate fat soluble vitamins and a certain level of dietary cholesterol in order to appropriately process minerals. Some chelating agents are so strong that it is difficult for the body to over-come them. These include such things as phytic acid in grains, oxalic acid in green leafy vegetables and tannins from black tea.
MAX PACK FOR YOUR BASIC DIETARY SUPPLEMENT NEEDS
What is MAX PACK? MAX PACK contains your four basic dietary supplemental needs all in one package. MAX PACK contains:
ViTAE as your phytonutrient, antioxidant, multivitamin, multimineral supplement: With more than 50 whole, fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, cereals, nuts, seeds, and sea vegetables, and over 6,000 phytonutrients, in a patented 3 ½ year fermentation process that fractures the non-digestible cellulose cell walls without damaging the delicate life-giving nutritional contents (thus liberating all of the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients that are available); ViTAE is not only a powerful antioxidant protecting against free radical damage, but a nearly complete food supplying nutrients for function, growth, repair, and maintenance of our every biologic process including protecting genes against mutation and damage while helping them respond normally to environmental stimulation.
COMPLETE as your multi-vitamin, multimineral, antioxidant supplement: With nearly 50 nutrients, COMPLETE supplies all of the water and fat soluble vitamins, minerals, trace minerals and herbs with 2 dozen cutting edge antioxidants chosen for their role in promoting health and improving biologic function in the chemical forms that are most easily utilized by the body for optimal absorption.
V-Cal as your Calcium, Magnesium, and multimineral supplement: Even though ViTAE and COMPLETE supply some Calcium and Magnesium, because our nutritional requirements for these two minerals is so large we’ve added V-Cal. Not only is Calcium absolutely essential for strong bones and teeth, but is vital for normal heart, muscle, and nervous system function and Magnesium participates in nearly every critical biologic process. Without Magnesium, Calcium and Potassium cannot be absorbed or utilized and carbohydrate metabolism would stop. V-Cal provides the optimal daily amounts of Calcium and Magnesium as well as all of the other major minerals and more than 70 organic trace minerals in a unique and natural, all vegan form from pure Calcified Seaweed that is harvested from the sea-bed floor off the coast of Northern Europe.
So, why MAX PACK? The truth is it doesn’t have to be MAX PACK. If you take daily dietary supplements, we think you’ll improve your health and improve your chances of a healthy and happy life. But we recommend MAX PACK because of its unique combination of high quality ingredients that make it a premier nutritional supplement designed to meet and exceed your supplement needs. MAX PACK takes the guess-work out of nutritional supplementation. It combines ViTAE, COMPLETE, and V-Cal to supply every vitamin, mineral, trace mineral, enzyme, antioxidant, and phytonutrient that your body needs.
MAX PACK is not intended to replace a healthy diet filled with fruits, vegetables, healthy carbohydrates and proteins as well as exercise and rest but is designed to help make up for poor dietary choices and nutritionally compromised foods. Start feeling better and help yourself to a better tomorrow by starting MAX PACK today.

I recently attended a natural medicine convention in Vancouver Canada where I had the privilege of listening to lectures and engaging in one on one conversation with several physicians who are expert in the weight loss field. It was very interesting to spend some quality time with these doctors discussing their views on why the overweight and obesity epidemic is happening.
It seems that it has become an American tradition these days to convert every holiday, no matter what its original intent, into an opportunity to participate in an eating frenzy. This past holiday in particular, we were overwhelmed with sugar images as we entered every store. The new assumption is that in order to celebrate you need to be actively consuming the chocolate bunnies, and marshmallow chickens along with everyone else. Here is a challenge for you, can you say "No thank you" to the chocolate bunnies, Jelly bellies, sugary eggs, and yellow chickens called, "Peeps?" They may taste great for 30-45 seconds, but then what? What is the after taste? Did they add any value to your life? Do you feel more competent? Do you feel more empowered? Do you have a long-term experience of pleasure? Most likely not!
