Best Nutritional Supplements

I use and recommend to others what I consider to be the best nutritional supplements available.

The following information came from both the supplement providers and reviews from the leading independent supplement evaluators. I used these reviews as the baseline for my recommendations and comments (and what we use in my own family).  

Best Nutritional Supplements

Category: Comprehensive Multi Vitamin

LifePak® Nano - a nutritional anti-aging program formulated to nourish and protect cells, tissues, and organs in the body with the specific purpose to guard against the ravages of aging. Lifepak® nano offers the highest bioavailability with a first-ever nanotechnology process and advanced levels of key anti-aging nutrients in a comprehensive formula available exclusively through Pharmanex. NOTE: this formula is for ages 18-108, men and women, and includes Omega 3 supplement. For more product/purchase info click here.

February 9, 2006 — Lifepak® Nano received a Product Merit Award from the Nutrition Business Journal in its annual Business Achievements Awards Issue. Nutrition Business Journal is the premier trade publication in the nutrition industry.

Lifepak® Nano also won the award for its innovative use of nanotechnology to increase bioavailability.

ageLOC Vitality: As we age, our bodies' ability to effectively generate and utilize energy can decline, robbing us of youthful vitality. ageLOC Vitality® improves the three dimensions of vitality – physical vigor, mental acuity, and sexual health – by promoting healthy YGC activity associated with youthful vitality. Through targeting the sources of age-related vitality loss, ageLOC Vitality helps you feel more like you did when you were young.

Best when taken along with other LifePak® nutritionals.

PLEASE NOTE: Compare Retail price:$195.00 for Item #01103890 for combined LifePak® Nano + Vitality® with special ADR** price including points discount: $120 -- a $75/month savings.

Vitox from Pharmanex includes all of the vitamins and minerals considered essential in a formula of this nature. Heavy on antioxidants, which neutralize free radicals and slow many of the degenerative processes in the human body, Vitox is well formulated to stand between Pharmanex's flagship multi vitamin line (LifePak) and the inexpensive basic formulas found on grocery store shelves. Marginal nutrient deficiencies of the vitamins and minerals in this formula are not uncommon and the benefits of a multivitamin/multimineral are thus well established in supporting overall nutritional status and good health. For more product/purchase info click here.

Comment: Vitox is rated first in the general vitamin category. If you are taking a single nutritional supplement per day and are concerned about the cost -- this is your right choice. Purchase it through the ADR program and it will rival the price of what you can buy locally and give you much greater value. 

Wholesale Price: $22.80 including ADR** points discount. Watch video how to purchase online here (describes how to make an online donation to nourish needy children around the world).

Jungamals Chewable Vitamins is the “LifePak for Kids. It is well-accepted in nutrition and medical circles that kids require a constant supply of essential vitamins and minerals to support optimal growth, development, and energy levels – and that a balanced multivitamin/mineral supplement is a prudent way to meet those nutrient needs in kids who may not be consuming adequate levels from their diets.

Comment: Rated at the top in its category, this is a great approach to making sure your children get the nutritional supplements they need.

Wholesale Price: $13.68 including ADR** points discount. Watch video how to purchase online here (describes how to make an online donation to nourish needy children around the world).

NOTE: In my Rotary Club [of Chareston, SC] we have selected Jungamals to ship to Peruvian children as a part of a Rotary International Matching Grant program. The dosage is 1 per day for children 2-8, 2 for children 8-12, and 3 for teenagers to age 18.

Category: Best Nutritional Supplements For Men

Prostate Formula from Pharmanex is based on a standardized extract of Saw Palmetto (160mg per softgel – which means that a 2-per-day dosing gives you a clinically effective amount of the active compounds) which delivers a powerful treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Pharmanex also adds a blend of ingredients that has little to do with treating BPH. Their inclusion of Selenium (100mcg/gel), Green Tea (85mg/gel), and Lycopene (3mg/gel) is a unique twist that provides them with support for their “unspoken” claim for protection against prostate cancer (noted as protection for “prostate cell health” and “DNA protection”). At less than $20 for a 1-month supply, Prostate Formula is a terrific value because it provides all of the BPH benefits found in other standardized saw palmetto extracts, but it also delivers a powerful anti-cancer benefit against prostate cancer.

Best Nutritional Supplements Category: Juices

G3 from Pharmanex: Gac fruit contains a variety of carotenoids, but lycopene and beta-carotene are the predominant carotenoids present. Gac is also a very oily fruit that, along with sea buckthorn (Siberian pineapple) deliver a variety of fatty acids to improve the absorption of the carotenoids (which are fat-soluble). Pharmanex is using the BioPhotonic Scanner to show that using G3 will improve skin carotenoid scores from the phytonutrients in G3. The additional fruits found in G3 all contain known ingredients with antioxidant benefits. Evidence from population studies suggests that mixed sources of carotenoids from foods can help protect against many forms of cancer.

Comment: From a pure cost standpoint, Orange Juice and V8 are great alternatives. However, G3 has exceptional anti-oxidant power. In addition, if you use the ADR program and your points, you get a highly favorable price compared with other top priced juice supplements.
