In addition to a healthy diet, Drs. Ezgur and DiDomenico recommend taking "Multigenics" multiple vitamin/mineral.

Potential benefits of a quality multiple vitamin/mineral:

• Reduce your risk of disease including: cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
• Recover faster from colds, flus, and other infections
• Heal quicker from injuries, sprains, and strains
• Feel more energetic, get better sleep, and improve physical/athletic performance

Why diet alone may not be enough:

• If you're not eating the perfect diet
• If you eat junk food, processed food, fatty food, or sugary snacks
• If you consume alcohol or smoke
• If you use prescription drugs
• If you are under increased stress
• If you engage in strenuous exercise
• We are all subject to environmental toxins, pollutants, and nutrient-depleted soil

Why the RDA's are not adequate:

• Most of the current scientific literature recommends doses much higher than the RDA's for optimal health and prevention of disease. Why the popular "drug store" multiples are inferior:
  1. You get what you pay for: most of these products are just plain cheap
  2. Most contain doses up to the level of RDA's, which is not high enough
  3. Most contain artificial fillers, preservatives, dyes, allergens, etc.
  4. Most do not have the proper ratios and balance of key nutrients
  5. Most are missing certain key nutrients altogether
  6. Most contain cheap forms of nutrients which lead to poor absorption and low bio-availablity
  7. Many contain iron, which is harmful and potentially toxic, if you're not anemic

Why multigenics is recommended:

• Comprehensive,safe, pure, iron-free formula, based on current scientific literature
• High levels of key nutrients in proper balance and ratios
• Quality form of nutrients for optimal absorption and bioavailability
• A good value for the money – (doesn't contain unnecessary "designer" herbs which are often found in doses too low to be effective, but enough to jack-up the price)

Dose schedule:

• 1 pill at breakfast and 1 pill at dinner, and 1-2 pills at lunch, for a total of 3-4 pills per day.
• Always take within 1-2 hours of eating food. If skipping a meal, it's OK to take 2-3 pills at once, but it's best to space the pills out over the course of the day. This is true of all multiples, because many of the water-soluble nutrients like vitamin C only remain in the bloodstream for 4-6 hours.
