Thousands of studies on vitamin supplements have demonstrated their value in preventing and reversing disease. Yet, with half the adult population now taking supplements, supplement-bashing has never been more popular, and multivitamins have been taking a direct hit. Liz Szabo’s “Older Americans are ‘Hooked’ on Vitamins ,” in the New York Times, is a case in point. Ms.Szabo states that scientists have proved multivitamin supplements are useless and even dangerous. She notes with dismay that although there is a trend in other segments of the population away from taking multis, older folk remain stubbornly loyal to them, despite this overwhelming evidence. Readers’ comments in response to this article reveal a conversation as polarized and vitriolic as our current political discourse, with the same sense that those on opposing sides live in two different realities. In one reality, supplements (as part of a healthy lifestyle) are helping people recover from se…

Our multi has a brand-new gold label.  Although the formula’s the same, we wanted a label befitting this multi’s value.  Worth its weight in gold for its remarkable benefits to the human body, the Beyond Health Multivitamin also sets a “Gold Standard” for what a multivitamin/mineral should be. Yes, it costs more than the multivitamins you get at the drugstore! But in order to do you any good, you need to get nutrients into your body’s cells , and you’d have to take 40-50 tablets of your average multi to get the same amount of useable nutrients into your cells that you’d get from one of our multi tabs!  Ponder that for a minute. For the nutrients, your body actually gets and uses, the Beyond Health Multi is the least expensive multi on the market! And in fact, you’re getting even more, because our multi has a lot of special ingredients you won’t find in other brands—ingredients that: Increase cellular energy.  This helps your…

If you're like most parents, you want to give your child everything they need to thrive - to succeed in their endeavors and to create rewarding and joyful lives. You want to provide them with nourishment - emotional, spiritual and physical - and protect them from harm. Physical nourishment starts with a good diet. Many studies show that good nutrition helps children feel better about themselves, adjust more easily to varied social situations and excel in school. Yet, government surveys continue to find our children are deficient in important nutrients, and that such deficiencies have serious repercussions on their mental, emotional and physical well-being and development.Conscientious parents may provide their children with a good diet containing plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and other whole foods, but getting these notoriously picky eaters to consume all the vitamins and minerals they need is another story! Which may explain why about one-third of American children are now tak…

Almost half of all Americans take a multivitamin-mineral supplement. They do it to maintain and improve health, and for protection against the chronic diseases associated with aging, like heart disease, osteoporosis, cancer, arthritis, and metabolic syndrome. While many studies validate all the above claims, other studies find multis to be ineffective. Some even claim vitamins are dangerous! Often researchers who’ve found multis are effective in preventing disease—like Swedish researchers who followed a group of women for 10 years, and found that among over 30,000 women who began the study with no heart disease, those who took a multi for 5 years or more had 41% less risk of having had a heart attack—have trouble explaining why other studies come to such different conclusions.  The answer is that the doses and compositions of ingredients in multivitamin supplements were very different in different studies. Let’s get one thing clear: While prescription drugs are the 3rd lea…
