Patient Resources / Nutrition Resources / Daily Essential Supplements to Maximize Your Health
1. QUALITY PROTEIN – It is vital to consume daily quality protein, from organic and natural sources. When consuming animal products for protein, be sure to select natural animal products only. Otherwise, animal products can contain 10 times more toxins (such as pesticides and herbicides) than plants. It is also vital to consume natural animal products because the fatty-acid ratios in grain-fed animals, as opposed to grass-fed animals, are altered causing the good fats to become denatured and harmful to your body. The solution is:
Vega - available in our office
Vega is a full meal replacement loaded with quality protein, greens (veggie blend), essential fats and fiber, plus probiotics, enzymes, and vitamins.
The ratio of carbohydrates-protein-fat is 40:30:30.
100% vegan, plant-based full spectrum protein (4 plant sources).
No sugar or bad fats! Sweetened with berries and stevia.
NaturePro - available in our office
NaturePro is a protein replacement, fortified with vitamins and minerals.
The milk used for this whey protein comes from grass-fed cows that are never injected with hormones. This whey is never exposed to high heat pasteurization temperatures, making it nature’s richest source of bio-active protein. (Note! Most whey proteins on the market are heated at high temperatures and therefore denatured … and nearly all come from grain-fed cows.)
NaturePro is loaded enhanced with glutamine (an amino acid needed post-exercise), L-aspartic acid (which moderates blood sugar levels), and inulin (which aids digestion)
No sugar or bad fats! Sweetened with stevia.
2. ESSENTIAL FATS - Fat is North America’s number one missing ingredient. You need good fats — and lots of them — in the healthy ratios your body uses for function, healing and detoxification. The solution is:
Perfect Ratio Omega – Order online from www.MaximizedLiving.com. If you are eating a standard commercial diet that consists of little grass-fed meat, omega-3 eggs, walnuts, avocado or fish, then you need to supplement the missing omega-3s in your diet. However, beware of two problems associated with omega-3 supplementation: It’s common to overdo omega-3 supplementation and end up creating the opposite problem, omega-3 dominance. The other risk with fish oil supplements is heavy mercury contamination from toxic waters. The best omega-3 supplements will not only give your body the ideal ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, but also will come from a blend of plant and fish sources, having been molecularly filtered for optimum purity.
3. DETOX - The average person will ingest 140-150 pounds of additives and chemicals every year creating a serious imbalance within the body. Because toxins from food and household products are fat-soluble, the body will naturally create fat to safely store the toxins and protect the body. This toxic fat will block nutrients, rob your energy, contaminate your cells, affect your moods and contribute to a host of symptoms and disease. If you live in North America, a daily detox is essential and in all cases, just as vital as your daily multi-vitamin. The solution:

MULTI-VITAMIN – Ultra-Preventive X by Douglas Laboratories – available in our office
In the 21st Century, experts agree it is impossible to get all your vitamins and minerals from food alone. Everyone needs a daily multi-vitamin, and we carry this winner of the Gold 5-Star Rating from Nutri-Search.ca. The Ultra-Preventive X by Douglas Laboratories is fortified with over 95% of your daily requirements – triple what is available in most store-bought multivitamins.

GREENS – GreensFirst by Doctors for Nutrition – available in our office
Ideally, you need 5 or more servings of colorful, raw, organic vegetables every day. Unfortunately, less than 50% of adults and children get their necessary daily requirements of vegetables. GreensFirst, our blend of vegetables and low glycemic fruits, are an easy way to get several servings of vegetables and fruits together in one drink, resulting in increased energy, alkalinization, mental clarity, overall well-being, and an optimal immune system. GreensFirst are great for kids and taste delicious. Blend into a smoothie or mix on their own in water.
VITAMIN D3 – Liquid drops by Pure Encapsulations – available in our office
There is scientific evidence that links low levels of Vitamin D to an increased risk of many medical conditions including heart disease, depression, Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis. Unfortunately, there are many misunderstandings related to the type of Vitamin D people should use to supplement deficiencies, and how much they need. Our Vitamin D provides the active form of Vitamin D3 which we need.
According to Dr. Mayer Eistenstein, a medical doctor and lawyer from www.homefirst.com, in order to have optimum body levels of 150-200 mmol/L, we need 10-15 minutes of mid-day sun with 40% body exposure to prevent diseases related to Vitamin D deficiency. For most of us, this is not possible.
For Vitamin D levels already in the optimum range, 5000 IU of Vitamin D per day is recommended for maintenance. For insufficient or deficient levels of Vitamin D, or if your health is currently challenged or you are run-down, 10,000 IU of Vitamin D per day is recommended. Be sure to eat spinach daily; it contains all the nutrients you need to aid the absorption of D3.
PROBIOTICS – Multi-Probiotic 4000 by Douglas Laboratories – available in our office
Everyone has billions of live bacteria residing in their gut. While some are beneficial in keeping you healthy, others are harmful causing many symptoms. Not only do probiotics keep your intestines clean and well enabling you to absorb more nutrients from food, they also help to keep your intestinal flora in perfect balance, optimizing the function of your digestive system and cellular energy.
With the abundance of antibacterial products in homes and antibiotic residues and pesticides in foods, most people now suffer from a deficiency of healthy bacteria in the intestines creating a severe imbalance. Daily probiotics will help to balance your intestinal flora and will make an improved difference in the way you feel.
