Back to the Basics

An excellent foundation begins with our advanced multi-vitamin and mineral complex, Total Care Daily Formula, designed to offer optimal amounts of the basic nutrients as well as antioxidants for added benefit.

The Children's Chewable Multi-Vitamin is a great start to supplementation, featuring all-natural ingredients in a fun animal-shaped orange tablet.
The "sunshine" vitamin has shown much potential. Our Vitamin D is designed to offer an optimal dose of the bioavailable D3.
Vitamin C is necessary for healthy tissues and blood vessels. It also promotes detoxification and proper immune system function.
It is important to include all subtypes of Vitamin E when choosing a supplement. Gamma-, delta-, alpha-, and beta- tocopherols are blended together in our formulation.
Combine all of the basics into one package and get your vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and omega-3s plus a special anti aging formula with our Longevity Multipack and enjoy the convenience of dosage packets.

Move It

We may be more likely to sit still once the season starts to change, but it is important to keep up your fitness level to fight aging. Giving yourself a nudge to exercise can be very helpful. Research is starting to show that some surprisingly simple positive reinforcements — quick e-mail messages and short phone calls — can motivate people to get moving.

Take the Presidential Challenge and log your daily activity for 6-8 weeks. Keep active at least five days per week and see how your state rates compared to other states.

There are exercises you can do right at your desk to keep in better health. Every little tip you can integrate into your health regimen will bring you closer to your best.

To keep you on track, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) tackles goals and motivation at any age.

Health News Radar

As scientists develop new technologies to help maintain health and to prevent diseases, we gain the ability of living healthier and the possibility of living longer. Bridge Two refers to the advances in biotechnology that will allow you to directly intervene to stop disease and actually reverse aging. In the past year, there have been many advances in this area. To highlight just a few…

	Beating Heart Tissues Grown in Test Tube Scientists used human stem cells to grow heart tissue--complete with beat--in a test tube. Because the tissue culture contains three distinct cell types, each of which is important in functioning hearts, it is a step towards growing transplant tissues in a lab.
	Faster Method to Detect Heart Attacks A chip has been developed that tests saliva to evaluate whether someone is having a heart attack. This method is quicker and less involved for the patient than EKG or blood testing.
	Snakelike Robot Developed for Heart Surgery A snakelike surgical robot from Carnegie Mellon University could let a surgeon performing a critical heart operation make just one incision. Known as the CardioArm, the curved robot has a series of joints that automatically adjust to follow the course plotted by the robot's head
	Robotic Arm Operated on Woman's Brain In the world's first remote-control brain tumor operation, a Calgary surgeon used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided robotic arm to remove a complex brain tumor.
	Weaving Cells into New Organs A new technique is under development for producing transplant materials for the human body. Perhaps even more precise than "printing" cells with special ink-jet printers, this alternative method would spin polymers into material that can be shaped into any organ.
	Artificial Cell Makes Own Genes An "artificial cell" capable of synthesising genes and making them into proteins has been developed by researchers in the US… The postage stamp-sized machine able to make and express its own genes offers a fast and cheap new way of making "designer" proteins not found in nature. It could ultimately help scientists test how individual patients will react to specific drugs.
	Skin Cells Reprogrammed Scientists have reprogrammed human skin cells into a type of stem cells with nearly unlimited potential. This time, they used regulator genes instead of embryonic material.
	Human Blood Cells Grown in Mice For the first time, scientists used special human "progenitor" cells, taken from blood and bone marrow, to grow new blood vessels in a mouse. This discovery could lead to therapies for heart attack patients, as well as increased success implanting lab-grown transplant organs.
	Artificial Defensin Created to Beat Bacteria Scientists have created a man made version of "defensin," a protein used by the white blood cells to punch holes in bacteria. The immune system could use these cells to fight bacteria that are antibiotic-resistant.
	ONE Machine Can Do It All Toshiba's new Aquilion ONE computed-tomography (CT) scanner can provide doctors with an array of functions to condense the number of tests needed and the time taken to analyze results.
	Arterial Calcium Can Predict Death Risk A new study suggests that scanning the heart's arteries for calcium deposits can accurately predict the overall death risk for American adults. Calcification can eventually block blood vessels, causing heart attacks, strokes and other major problems.
	First Red Blood Cells Grown in Lab Scientists have grown the first set of functional red blood cells from human embryonic stem cells in a laboratory setting. The engineered cells are superior to previously grown blood cells.

Testimonials

"I really enjoyed your book and being a clinical nutritionist, I started implementing your suggestions in my practice. The results have been great, without anything else than:
• Exercise: walking and weight training • Diet: low carb diet with lots of vegetables, fish, lean meat and essential fats-- flax seeds, nuts and olive oil • Supplements: Including a multivitamin/mineral complex with antioxidants and EPA/DHA"
