What makes a good multivitamin?
The manufacturer is solely responsible for the quality or their product.
Unfortunately, the majority
of supplements on the market don't live up to their label
and there is no safeguard for the consumer.
What makes selecting a multi-vitamin so difficult is the fact that
nutritional supplements are not
regulated by the FDA and are not required to meet over-the-counter (OTC)
standards.
In order to attain the full benefit of a vitamin, it must dissolve quickly
in order to be absorbed by
the body. Nearly two-thirds of the nutrients in most supplements remain
undissolved or are excreted,
thus depriving the body of the promised benefit. This is especially true with
many popular one-a-day
tablets.
Another aspect to consider is chelation. This method of wrapping minerals
that are hard to absorb
in amino acids in order to "trick" the body into more readily absorbing them is
another way to ensure
maximum bioavailability of a supplement. However, this expensive technique is
often omitted by many manufacturers in order to cut costs.
UltraLogix supplements are chelated, guaranteed to dissolve within 30
minutes and are
manufactured
to OTC standards to ensure that you are getting the most out of
your nutritional
supplement.
How are these products different from what I buy in the market or drugstore?
UltraLogix products are only available through a healthcare
professional. You have the
assurance of
knowing that your healthcare provider has chosen the appropriate
supplements for your
health needs
and stage of life. All UltraLogix products have been
developed by physicians to
the highest OTC
pharmaceutical standards. This means you get only the highest
quality nutrients
with maximum
absorption.
Can I take more than one UltraLogix product at the same time?
Absolutely. All UltraLogix products have been formulated to be taken
together, as a family
of supplements.
When will I start to feel the positive effects?
Great question. The best answer? Now and forever. Some of our products will
produce measurable
results, as
in helping lose unwanted weight, relief of pain and swelling, or providing more
energy.
However, many of our
products are "invisibly effective," as for example, our multivitamins, which
provide your nutrient starved body
with the finest essential nutrients vital for a healthier life.
The benefits of
all UltraLogix products are
realized through an appropriately planned, ongoing
regimen. Keep in mind that
the prevention of a serious
health issue is a tremendous positive benefit -
a benefit that will show up in a
longer, healthier life.
Should I take any other supplements?
Because UltraLogix products are designed to provide you with
comprehensive solutions for all of your
nutritional needs, you don't need to take any other brand of supplements. By
designing our products
as
solutions, we actually save you money by reducing your need for single
ingredient formulations as
well as
preventing you from over-supplementing with any one ingredient.
How does the price compare with products I can buy elsewhere?
Aren't all
vitamins basically the same?
There are two parts to this answer. UltraLogix products are
competitively priced with other premium
products found at retail and in catalogs. The second half of
this answer lies in
effective absorption. Is your
body truly getting what you paid for? If you are only
absorbing 30 percent of a
lesser-priced, lower-quality
product, yet UltraLogix delivers 95 percent of
higher quality
ingredients, aren't you getting more value
for this investment in your health?
Why can't I take these vitamins once a day?
Don't be fooled by the myth of the "one-a-day" vitamin. It is virtually
impossible to deliver all the
essential
nutrients to your body in one daily tablet. UltraLogix supplements were
created to deliver
essential
nutrients to your body when it needs them the most. We don't want to overload
your body
with what it
doesn't need, while simultaneously starving it when it desperately needs a
boost.
What exactly is the Autoship Program?
This is a great program established to make sure you always have your vitamins
on hand. Signing
up for the
program means your vitamins will automatically be shipped to you on a regular
basis,
without your having to
call to order or place an order through the internet. You schedule the interval
your vitamins will arrive
at your doorstep, thereby avoiding any break in your nutritional regimen.
Your
credit card will be charged on
the date of shipment, and, of course you can adjust your order,
delay it
or cancel anytime you wish simply by calling 800-428-6416.

Questions About Your Health: |
Why take a multivitamin?
The verdict is in. Even if you eat a healthy, balanced diet, the
long-term benefits of taking a
multi-vitamin are too important to ignore.
There continues to be a substantial amount of data coming from medical
researchers and from
the large observational studies (Framingham Heart Study, Nurses Health Study,
Alameda County
Health Study), that show that good nutrition and nutritional supplements
play a vital role in
wellness and disease prevention.
The aforementioned studies have shown that people who supplement a healthy diet
with a
multi-vitamin have lower incidences of breast and colon cancers, heart
disease, and age related
macular degeneration.
More and more people are convinced that diet itself, given the fast-paced and
stressful environments
we live in today, is inadequate to supply all the nutrients needed and are
taking supplements to
prevent disease, boost energy, and promote general feelings of well-being.
The National Academy of Science finally recommended that large segments of
the population take
vitamins. All women of child-bearing age should take a
daily folic acid supplement to cut the risk of
serious birth defects, and all older adults should take daily vitamin B12
supplements to guard against
anemia.
Vitamin supplements are the best way for Americans 51 and older to ensure that
they consume
enough vitamin B12, according to the academy's recommendations, because 10
percent to 30 percent
of older Americans lose their ability to absorb vitamin B12 from food, which can
cause anemia, a chronic condition that can lead to serious health problems.
Although both vitamins are available naturally in foods, the academy took the
step to recommend
vitamins because even people who eat a well balanced diet may have difficulty
getting all the nutrients
they need from food.
Heart disease seems to be growing in every segment of our population, especially
for women.
How much is
preventable?
One out of every three women die because of cardiovascular disease but
this is not a new
phenomenon. Women have simply become more aware of the threat rather than become
more
vulnerable. The fact is that cardiovascular disease remains the number one
killer of all Americans,
men and women, with coronary heart disease and strokes killing more than 650,000
each year.
What is troubling are despite fewer people smoking, better blood pressure and
blood sugar
monitoring, and more cholesterol testing, the number of heart disease deaths has
remained very high.
Americans undergo more than 500,000 heart bypass operations, almost 600,000
artery-opening
angioplasties, and over a million procedures to diagnose heart disease each
year, at a cost of $70
billion.
We spend more than $30 billion a year on drugs to lower cholesterol and blood
pressure alone and if
you add diabetes medications the number grows substantially.
The causes of cardiovascular diseases are well known. We have access to best
prescription drugs
ever discovered and after over 30 years, heart disease is still the number one
killer. Does this mean
heart disease is inevitable? No! The time has come to face the reality that to
beat the odds you need
to do more than take drugs.
The medical establishment has finally come to terms with the realization that
what we eat and how
much we exercise are very important in reducing cardiovascular disease in
America. There is also an
appreciation that certain nutritional supplements can
be very useful.
What we eat is a major deciding factor in heart disease. A diet based on
vegetables, beans, whole
grains, fruits, fish, and low-fat animal and diary products can significantly
reduce heart disease risks.
A regimen of regular exercise is also very cardio-protective. Regular exercise
lowers blood pressure
and blood sugar. It helps you maintain a heart-healthy weight. The heart is
muscle and needs to work
to stay healthy. The most active individuals have the lowest rates of heart
disease.
Nutritional supplements can provide significant heart protective benefits.
Three safe B vitamins - folic acid, B6 and B12 are the most effective way to
lower harmful
homocysteine levels. Numerous studies have found a substantially
higher risk of heart disease and
stroke in people
with high homocysteine levels.
Another B vitamin, niacin, can raise good cholesterol levels and lower
triglyceride levels.
A class of nutrients called phytosterols can lower bad cholesterol levels by
about 10% by blocking the
intestinal absorption of cholesterol. They can be used
safely with the statins because they do not
involve the liver.
Researchers have known for over twenty years that the long-chained omega-3
nutrients, DHA and EPA,
found in fish oil are very heart protective. Recently,
for the first time, the American Heart Association
advised that patients with known heart disease should use a pill supplement to
get the recommended
1,000 mg of EPA/DHA each day. Studies showed that sudden death heart disease
rates dropped by 40%
when patients followed these guidelines.
The only way to reduce the heart disease rates in America is for each one of us
to know our risks and
then do something proactive to reduce that risk. A healthy lifestyle and a
healthy diet is a good place
to start.
Maintaining the right weight has always been a struggle for me. What is the
healthiest way to
lose weight
and keep it off?
You are not alone in your struggle to maintain a healthy weight. Between
the ages of 20 to 40,
Americans gain about two pounds a year. The result is that America is getting
fatter. As this epidemic
of weight gain spreads, researchers have learned that fat is more than an extra
layer of padding or
insulation. What’s more, not all fat is equal. Depending on where it is
deposited, fat may be easier or
harder to get rid of and more or less riskier for diabetes and heart disease.
People who gain weight
around their middle (so-called “apples”) have a higher risk of heart disease and
diabetes than people
who gain weight in the hips and thighs (“pears”). Men are more likely to be
apples. Younger women
are usually pears, but move closer to apples as their weight shifts after
menopause.
When we eat more calories than we burn, the body converts most of the excess
into fat. Where does
it go? It goes into the fat cells (also called adipose cells) in the body. When
the fat cells swell to their
limit the body simply makes more fat cells. The bad news is that while loading
up a fat cell with more
fat is quite reversible, once you make more fat cells, they’re going to be
around for a long time. In
many people, even new fat cells aren’t enough to store the excess fat. So it
starts going to places
that it’s not supposed to, like the liver, muscle, and heart. Dumping fat into
fat cells is much less
harmful than stashing it in muscles, the heart, and other organs.
There has been a great deal of research done on fat cells. In 1994, a research
team at Rockefeller
University discovered leptin, a hormone secreted by fat cells that controls fat
stores and influences
appetite. The discovery that fat cells produced hormone-like substances opened a
wave of new
research. We now know that fat cells also secrete a number of proteins. Fat
cells produce a good
protein called adiponectin. This protein helps insulin remove sugar from the
bloodstream into your
body’s cells, where it’s stored or burned for fuel. Unfortunately as fat cells
swell, the less adiponectin
they secrete. This explains why many overweight people have “insulin resistance”
which leads to high
blood sugar levels and raises the risk of heart disease. We also know that fat
cells release inflammatory
proteins (like interlukin-6 and tumor necrosis
factor- alpha) that cause low level inflammation throughout
the body. These inflammatory proteins can rupture the plaques that clog
arteries, leading to a heart
attack or stroke. Researchers are also aware of the increased rates of cancer in
overweight individuals
and are looking for cancer causing substances released or stored in fat cells.
What can you do? The best solution is not to gain weight in the first place. We
live in an environment
where calorie-dense food is thrust under our noses 24/7. We need to become
restrained eaters.
If you need to lose weight, the formula has not changed. You lose weight when
you burn more calories
than your body takes in. The best way to do this is simply eat less and become
more active. The
individual who can maintain a healthy body weight will live a longer healthier
life.
Researchers still don’t know which diets are best for keeping weight off long
term. Until more results
are in, these are the basic key points. Clearly how much you eat makes a
difference. Cut back on
calories from bad fats and bad carbs (includes French fries, burgers, pizza,
nachos, sweets, etc.).
Build your diet around vegetables, seafood, poultry, low-fat diary foods, beans,
and whole grains.
With most restaurant meals in the 1,000 calorie range, think about ordering one
entrée for every
two people (or taking half home).
Daily exercise is a key to losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight. This
is not as intimidating
as it sounds. Thirty minutes on a treadmill at a brisk pace is adequate.
Inactivity is simply not an
option. When you lose weight you lose both the fat stored in fat cells and the
fat deposited outside
the fat cells. Researchers have concluded that the lack of physical activity is
the main reason for
weight loss failure.
Looking for motivation to eat a healthy diet and stay physically active? A
recent study conducted
at the University of Maryland School of Medicine put 37 overweight or obese
women on a lower-
calorie diet for six months. The women also walked at moderate intensity for 45
minutes three times
a week. They lost 10% of their body weight in six months. The women walked off
17% of their
visceral fat (the fat stored in muscle and organs). What’s more their levels of
pro-inflammatory
proteins secreted by the fat cells fell dramatically. The researchers described
the lower-calorie diet
as simply making good food choice and keeping portions appropriate.
There is no magic to this process. Just determination, commitment and
good choices.

effectively helps support
a healthy weight-control program. It is an all-natural alternative to
pharmaceutical-based products.
UltraLogix Weight Control Formula is extremely safe, with no potentially
dangerous weight-loss

Some say that Soy is good for me, while other say it is overrated, or even bad.
What’s the scoop?
Nutritional scientists have been studying soy for many years and there is
a wealth of data available
that based on individual interpretation can provide for a difference of opinion
on how beneficial soy is
for promoting good health. The general consensus of the vast majority of
scientists is that soy is very
good for us. My answer will discuss why most scientists believe soy is good and
why some scientists
are not sure. It is harder to explain why some people think soy is bad for you
but I will try.
Let’s start by understanding the areas where there is almost universal agreement
and then move to
the areas of conflicting opinions. Soybeans are a unique protein source. Unlike
most plant proteins,
soy contains all nine essential amino acids. Meat also provides all nine
essential amino acids. The
difference is that soy contains no saturated fat and no cholesterol. The result
is that soy is also
very low in calories. Red meat is relatively high in saturated fat, cholesterol,
and calories. When
epidemiological correlations between reduced meat consumption
and lower rates of cancer and heart
disease became known the interest in soy soared. We know for a fact that in
countries like China,
Korea, and Japan people eat between 25 – 47 grams of soy daily. These countries
have relatively low
rates of heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and breast, colon, and prostate
cancers. The question
was why was this happening? What researchers found was that soy had other unique
properties.
Soybeans are uniquely rich in phytoestrogens called isoflavones. The reality is
that if you don’t eat soy
you don’t have isoflavones in your body. Much of the controversy about soy comes
from what we know
about isoflavones. Soy also contains saponins, they are less
controversial, but again cause some
individuals concern.
Phytoestrogens are plant molecules structurally similar to estrogen. The
strongest of the
phytoestrogens are the isoflavones. The most important of the isoflavones are
genistein and daidzein.
Soy contains both. Everyone agrees that isoflavones are much much weaker than
the estrogen
produced by a woman’s ovaries. It is also generally accepted that you find only
a small amount of
isoflavones per serving of soy. Still, the question remains - are these
isoflavones what accounts for
the good news about soy or do they blemish soy’s nutritional value?
The science about isoflavones appears clear if you accept the fact that while
isoflavones structure is
similar to estrogen, the body’s reaction to them is different. The body’s
response to isoflavones is
simply not the same as it is with estrogen. Soy isoflavones do ease menopausal
symptoms by providing
the body an alternative molecule. They also improve bone health by a similar
mechanism. The good
news is that the science shows that isoflavones compete with the body’s own
estrogen receptor sites.
This protects the body against hormone-related disorders not exposing it to
excess estrogen.
We know that isoflavones are also powerful antioxidants. There is compelling
evidence that the low
cholesterol content of soy and the antioxidant properties
of isoflavones reduce heart disease. The
American Heart Association recommends soy protein as a way to reduce cholesterol
levels. There is
evidence that soy isoflavones inhibit the growth of the cells that form plaques
providing another heart
protective mechanism. There is also a significant amount
of evidence that isoflavones protect against
hormone dependent cancers like
breast and prostate cancer as I previously explained.
The other active molecules found in soy are saponins. Soy saponins resemble
cholesterol in structure
and are thought to lower cholesterol by enhancing excretion or by blocking
absorption or both.
Saponins also have antioxidant properties and therefore protect DNA and cell
walls from damage.
The scientists that have concerns about soy cannot accept the fact that an
estrogen-like molecule
and a cholesterol-like molecule found in soy can actually be good for you. They
believe that isoflavones
cause hormonal imbalances. There is a long-standing
belief that soy causes hypothyroidism in women.
Three recent studies confirmed that soy did not harm thyroid function but that
is not good enough.
There is the belief that the body treats isoflavones the same as estrogen. The
science contradicts
this but they want more research.
The people who want you to believe that soy is actually bad for you make
statements like this. They
are quick to point out that since the early 1900’s the greatest amount of
soybeans grown in the United
States is for livestock feed. They have made the
conclusion that soy is for animals not for people.
What they don’t add is that the balance of the American soybean crop is sent to
Japan, China, and
Korea. At the present time, the United States breast cancer rate is four-fold
that of Japan, five-fold
that of China, and ten-fold that of Korea. There are comparable results with
prostate cancer.
Several large medical organizations have concluded that soy protein is safe.
Cardiologists, cancer
specialists, and women’s health specialists regularly recommend soy products to
their patients.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been around forever. What makes them so special all of
a sudden?
There has been a dramatic increase in the scientific scrutiny of and public
interest in omega-3 fatty
acids and their impact on personal health. It is also true that much of the
interest in omega-3 fatty
acids dates back to the pioneering study of Greenland Eskimos by Bang and
Dyerberg more than 30
years ago. They found that even though these Eskimos had a diet very high in
fat, they had a very
low rate of coronary heart disease. Their research spawned numerous research
studies, and we now
know a great deal more about how and why omega-3 fatty acids are essential to
maintain good health.
This remarkable odyssey may one day be viewed as one of the most important
advances in the
nutritional treatments of coronary heart disease and the management of
inflammatory and
degenerative diseases.
Omega-3 is the name given to a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids. However,
from the point of
view of human nutrition, the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic
(EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are considered the most valuable because these are
the forms the body
requires. The body must obtain these key omega-3 fatty acids
from our diet. Oil-rich fish are the best
sources of these nutrients. In an
ideal world, everyone should be able to obtain the long-chained
omega-3 nutrients (EPA and DHA) by eating at least two servings of fish each
week.
However, this simply isn’t happening despite well-published encouragement from
dieticians and
nutritionists. Concerns over pollutants in fish have not helped. Fish oil
supplements have become a
safe, convenient, and measurable way to obtain the desired amounts of EPA and
DHA the body needs.
The refined fish oils available today are free from the mercury and organic
pollutants found in the fish
we eat. They represent a readily available way to provide the body high
concentrations of EPA and DHA.
The omega-3 fatty acids are essential to life at every stage, even before birth.
We now know that the
omega-3 fatty acids are key to brain and vision development
during the last three months of pregnancy.
This is because long-chained omega-3’s play an important role as structural
membrane lipids, particularly
in nerve tissue and the retina. They continue to play a major health role at
every stage of life because
they are also precursors to eicosanoids. These are highly reactive substances,
such as prostaglandins
and leukotrienes, which act locally to influence a wide range of functions in
cells and tissues.
The role of omega-3 fatty acids in protecting against sudden cardiac death
remains the focus of much
of the interest in these nutrients. The largest study to date the GISSI-
Prevention study, as well as
the Diet and Reinfarction Trial (DART) study, revealed that individuals with
known heart disease given
850 mg of EPA/DHA daily had a 20% reduction of death from any cause and a 45%
reduction of sudden
cardiac death (presumably from a second heart attack)
compared to a similar number of patients in the
study not given the fish oil supplement.
As a result of the scientific research, the American Heart Association (AHA)
recommends about 1 g of
EPA/DHA daily for patients with known coronary heart
disease. For people with no known heart disease,
the AHA recommends eating oily fish at least twice a week, or about 500 mg of
EPA/DHA per day.
Therapy with low-dose omega-3 fatty acids significantly reduces the incidence of
sudden cardiac
death caused by cardiac arrhythmias which kills 340,000 people a year or 930
Americans each day.
The research continues into the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. There is
increasing evidence that
diets high in fish may protect against the development of Alzheimer disease and
prostate cancer.
Omega-3 fatty acids have shown benefits in rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, Crohn
disease and ulcerative
colitis. What is clear is that most of us our not getting the adequate amounts
of EPA and DHA we
need. Therefore, the case for taking a fish oil supplement to meet the body’s
needs, though always
important has become even more compelling.

Antioxidants seem like a lot of black magic to me - where can I actually see the
difference?
The last two years has produced an abundance of research that concludes
antioxidants are in fact
one of the best ways the body has to protect itself against disease and
premature aging. The
evidence is clear that adding more antioxidants to your diet is an important way
to maintaining good
health.
Antioxidants are compounds that promote a healthy immune system and help protect
the body
against harmful free radicals. It is known that antioxidants act as cell
protectors and work by binding
to free radicals and transforming them into non-damaging compounds. It is also
known that antioxidants
can repair cellular damage caused by free radicals. More and more science is
uncovering the role
antioxidants play in the aging process to help people live longer and healthier.
In fact, research has
supported the antioxidant’s role in reducing the risk of
conditions of aging, such as, high blood pressure, cataracts, and arthritis.
There is also an even stronger case to their role in reduced rates of
cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s.
The body can receive the antioxidants it needs from the foods we eat.
Unfortunately, our busy lives
prevent us from eating the five to seven daily servings of fresh fruit and
vegetables needed to provide
the key antioxidant nutrients we require. To make matters worse, lutein, an
antioxidant that promotes
healthy eyes, skin, and protects against macular
degeneration and cataracts is found primarily in collard
greens, spinach and
kale. Not many of us eat those foods daily. Research shows that only 50% of the
population gets the recommended daily amount of antioxidant nutrients with
abundant sources like
vitamin C.
Eating a varied and healthy diet is essential. However, it is likely that you
will still need a nutritional
supplement to insure that your body gets the full
compliment of antioxidants. A short list of key
antioxidant nutrients should include vitamins A, C, E, lycopene, selenium, zinc,
beta-carotene, lutein, isoflavones, CoQ10, and polyphenols. The worst situation
to put your body in is not giving it the
antioxidants it needs to fight off the toxins that you fight each day. This fact
is even more evident
with the shortage of flu vaccine. Antioxidants can truly boost your immune
system to give your body a
natural shield against the flu.
We have all seen the individual who looks younger and healthier than their
years. How do they look so
good? Books have been written providing tips to the keys to longer, happier, and
healthier lives. The
facts are that eating a healthy diet and regular exercise are the keys.
Essential to the message of
eating right is providing the body the antioxidants necessary to neutralize free
radical cellular damage.
Where will you actually see the difference if your body gets the antioxidants
you need? The research
shows that you will have a healthier mind, body and spirit because you have
protected your body
against a main threat of the aging process.
How can I be proactive to prevent arthritis?
There are many different types of arthritis that medical professionals
see and treat everyday.
However, when the general public talks about arthritis, it is Osteoarthritis, or
Degenerative Joint Disease
that they are concerned about. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the oldest and most common
type of arthritis. It is
characterized by the breakdown of the joint’s cartilage. Cartilage is the
material that lines the joints and
the ends of the bones. Cartilage breakdown causes bones to rub against each
other, causing pain,
stiffness, and loss of movement.
OA is a process that occurs over time - most commonly affecting middle-aged and
older people. OA
can range from very mild to very severe. It affects hands and weight-bearing
joints such as knees,
hips, feet, and the back. OA is estimated to affect over 20 million Americans,
most often after age 45.
Women are more commonly affected than men. 80% of the
people with OA reported some form of
limitation in movement of activity that caused a decreased quality of life.
How can you be proactive in preventing OA? Here are some things you should know.
Symptoms of joint pain and swelling that last more than a day or two require
medical attention. The
earlier an accurate diagnosis is made and treatment started, the better. Early
treatment can often mean
less joint damage and less pain.
It was thought for many years that if you were diagnosed with OA you should not
exercise because it
would further damage your joints. Now, however, research has shown that exercise
is an essential tool
in managing arthritis. Regular, moderate exercise reduces joint pain and
stiffness, builds strong muscle
around the joints, and increases flexibility and endurance.
An exercise program can include anything from walking around the block, taking
yoga class, or playing
a round of golf. It is always good to start with flexibility exercises, which
are basically stretching
exercises. Ask a fitness professional what is best for you. You may be reluctant
to exercise because
you are in such pain. If this is the case you may want to start with a water
exercise program. In the
water your body’s buoyancy reduces stress on your hips, knees, and spine. Once
you feel more
confident you can progress to weight-bearing exercise.
Can the food you eat cause or affect your arthritis? That’s one of the most
common questions people
with arthritis ask. Because the symptoms of arthritis can vary from day to day,
it is natural to think
that what you ate yesterday caused or reduced the pain you feel today.
The general consensus of nutritional experts today is that arthritis sufferers
should eat a healthy diet
consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables just like
everyone else. There is data to suggest that a diet
rich in antioxidant vitamins and minerals found in fresh fruits and vegetables
and the omega-3 free fatty
acids found in deep water fish are the most beneficial nutrients. However, the
most important role of
proper nutrition is managing your weight. Excess weight puts additional stress
on the joints most
commonly damaged. The goal of everyone with arthritis is to maintain his or her
ideal body weight.
Omega-3’s and Joint Health & Inflammation
Prostate Cancer seems to be everywhere. It scares my wife and me. How can I
avoid it?
Prostate Cancer is a major health risk for men. There are over 200,000 new cases
diagnosed each
and about 30,000 men die of Prostate Cancer each year. There is no avoiding the
fact that as men
age the risk of Prostate Cancer becomes greater.
The most responsible approach to Prostate Cancer for men is to combine a
strategy of early
detection with key nutrients linked to lower rates and less aggressive Prostate
Cancers.
Men over 40 need an annual examination of their Prostate by a health care
professional. Men over
50 also should get an annual blood test to screen for Prostate Cancer. A
Prostate Cancer that is
discovered early provides medical professionals the best opportunity for a cure.
There are three nutrients that men should know about. Several studies have
linked lycopene,
selenium, and Vitamin E to lower rates of Prostate Cancer. A diet rich in these
key nutrients seems
to result in less risk of developing Prostate Cancer. The use of a nutritional
supplement containing
these key nutrients is also an effective way to insure men they have done their
best to avoid this
disease.
UltraLogix Prostate Protection
helps promote overall prostate health. This Ultralogix formula
features Saw Palmetto and Selenium, well-known for prostate health. We’ve
included the powerful
antioxidants of natural Vitamin E, Kudzu Root and Lycopene, as well as Zinc,
which has shown
promising prostate health-related properties, as well as helping the body to
synthesize protein,
preserve vision and boost immunity.*
Why is Iron actually dangerous for men and not necessary for post-menopausal
women?
Iron is a mineral that our body needs. Almost two-thirds of the iron in
the body is used to produce
hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein found in red
blood cells that carries oxygen to the cells in our
body. Obviously, this is a very important process.
The body can’t produce iron so it depends on our diet to provide adequate
amounts of this essential
mineral. It is so important that the body has enough iron that 15% of your
body’s iron is stored for
future needs and mobilized only when dietary intake is inadequate. The good news
is that adult men
and post-menopausal women lose very little iron except through bleeding. It is
also reassuring that most Americans receive excellent amounts of iron in their
diets. The body is usually able to maintain normal
iron status simply by controlling the amount of iron absorbed from food.
The result is that men and post-menopausal women are advised not to take
supplemental iron unless
under the care of a medical professional. The reason - iron overload. Iron
overload is a condition in which
excess iron is found in the blood and stored in
organs such as the liver and the heart.
One in 250 people have a genetic disorder that predisposes them to iron
overload. This condition is
called hemochromatosis. The condition has very few symptoms until the iron
overload levels have done
serious damage to the liver. The genetic testing to
look for this condition is very expensive and rarely
performed, therefore, the
best way to avoid this disease is prevention. Since iron deficiency is rare
in
men and post-menopausal women the recommendation is not to take supplemental
iron unless an iron
deficiency is present.
The other issue about supplemental iron in men and post-menopausal women
concerns heart disease.
A 1980s study of Finnish men linked high iron stores with increased risk of
heart disease. This
observation came about the same time an American study revealed that male blood
donors had
significantly lower levels of coronary heart disease then men who did not donate
blood. The suggestion
again was that the lower levels of iron stores found in blood donors were
beneficial.
Finally, some researchers have concluded that the lower rates of heart disease
among people living
in developing countries may be due to low meat (and iron) intake, high fiber
diets that inhibit iron
absorption, and gastrointestinal parasites that result in blood loss which
results in low iron stores.
The data here is far from conclusive but the risk benefit is obvious. Unless
told otherwise, men and
post-menopausal women should eat a healthy diet and avoid supplements with iron.
Calcium is everywhere. How do I know why, how, and what to take?
That is an excellent question that deserves a detailed answer because calcium is
an essential mineral
for the body.
Why take Calcium? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently increased
the recommended
daily value for calcium to 1,000 mg. This move was due to an increasing
awareness that the amount of
calcium Americans currently consume each day is
inadequate. According to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture
an estimated 90% of adult women don’t get enough calcium in their diets. The
same is true for 80% of
teenage girls, 68% of teenage boys, and 73% of adult
men. In addition, there is growing evidence
proving significant health benefits when adequate amounts of calcium are taken
daily.
Here are some facts you should know:
1. Osteoporosis - calcium supplements and vitamin D supplementation are
fundamental to the prevention
and treatment of this disease process.
2. Blood pressure – calcium and magnesium help to prevent high blood pressure.
Randomized trials of
calcium supplements in first time pregnant women at high risk demonstrated
significant reductions in
the incidence of preeclampsia.
3. Gum disease – calcium is important for preventing gum disease. People who get
enough calcium
have significantly lower rates of periodontal disease, the leading cause of
tooth loss.
4. Colonic polyps and Colon Cancer – men and women who take calcium supplements
have a lower
risk of large bowel adenomas, polyps that are considered cancer precursors.
5. Strokes – a 14-year study of 86,000 women found that those who had a
relatively high intake of
calcium, whether through diet or use of supplements, had a reduced risk of
stroke.
6. Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) – taking calcium supplements can reduce the
physical and
psychological symptoms of PMS by almost 50%.
7. Weight Loss – men who increased dietary calcium intake from 400 mg to 1,000
mg daily, lost
11 pounds over the course of one year without otherwise changing their diet.
How to take Calcium
The body cannot make calcium. The diet must provide adequate amounts of this key
mineral. A diet
that contains three serving of dairy products, such as, milk, cheese and yogurt
each day is essential. Additionally, broccoli, tofu, turnip greens, kale, and
eggs are good sources of dietary calcium. Calcium
fortified cereals and juices
are also good ideas. A calcium supplement is also an excellent strategy
especially when calcium requirements increase. Here are some keys on how to take
a calcium
supplement:
1. Take your calcium supplement with a full glass of water.
2. Take your calcium supplement with food or just after your meal. Stomach acid
levels are adequate
to insure optimal absorption of whatever type of calcium your supplement may
contain.
3. Look for a calcium supplement that is taken in divided doses. The body can
only absorb between
500 and 600 mg of calcium at one time.
What Calcium product should you take?
The key here is to trust the company that makes your calcium product. As a rule,
a daily multivitamin
does not contain enough calcium to suffice as a calcium supplement. There are
many companies that
make only calcium supplements and have no expertise in nutritional science.
Here are some things to look for and avoid:
1. Avoid calcium supplements that come from dolomite, bone meal, or oyster
shell. These naturally
occurring calcium supplements may contain heavy metals or lead.
2. Take a calcium supplement that also contains vitamin D, especially if you are
over 50. Most people
will need at least 400 IU a day to promote adequate intestinal absorption of the
calcium.
3. Look for a calcium supplement that attaches an amino acid to the calcium.
This process is called
amino acid chelation and results in better absorption of the mineral. It costs
more for the manufacturer
but indicates a desire for excellence.
4. Good bone health depends on other key nutrients besides calcium and vitamin
D. Magnesium, zinc,
boron, and manganese are examples of trace minerals which enhance bone health
and when provided
correctly produce a superior calcium supplement.
UltraLogix Osteo Essentials
has all the necessary nutrients to help protect your bones against
brittleness and deterioration.* With seven different types of calcium, this
formula is fortified with
Vitamin D, Magnesium and other bone-strengthening minerals that are difficult to
obtain from diet
alone. Additionally, the calcium is chelated (i.e., wrapped in amino acids) to
ensure maximum absorption
into the bloodstream.
What’s the Skinny about Fatty Acids and Heart Health?
To answer this question, let me give you a better understanding of the
importance of long-chain
Omega-3 fatty acids. The two long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids that are most
important are
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Unlike other
nutrients in our diet the
long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids are not found in many foods. This is why
nutritional experts have found
that most Americans are not getting nearly enough of these key nutrients.
Essential fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that the human body needs
for normal metabolic
function but cannot produce. Therefore, they have to be acquired from food.
Essential fatty acids are
made up of mainly Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. The typical American diet
consumes far too
many Omega-6 fats while consuming very low levels of Omega-3 fats. The ideal
ratio of Omega-6 to
Omega-3 fats to promote good health is anywhere from 3:1 to 1:1. Today the ratio
of the abundant
Omega-6 fats to the scarce Omega-3 fats averages from 20:1 to 50:1. This
imbalance is not healthy
and must be corrected.
A great deal of the problem is due to the overabundance of Omega-6 fats in our
diet. The primary
sources of Omega-6 fats are vegetable oils like corn, soy, canola, safflower,
and sunflower. Trans fatty
acids (trans fat) are made through hydrogenation to solidify oils to increase
self-life. Heating Omega-6
oils to high temperatures creates trans fat. Trans fats are found in
shortenings, some margarines,
commercial pastries, fried foods, crackers, cookies, and snack foods.
Omega-3 fatty acids come in two groups, short-chain and long-chain. Short-chain
Omega-3 fats are
found in flaxseed oil, walnuts, and some green vegetables. A small amount of
these fats (between 1%
to 9%) are converted to long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids by the body. The rest are
used primarily for
energy.
Long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids are only produced by marine algae and are the
source of DHA and
EPA in fish. The fish feed on the algae and thus bring the Omega-3 fats into
their systems. Cold-
water fish are the only substantial source of DHA and EPA in our diets today.
Recommended fish are
tuna, sardines, salmon, mackerel, and herring. Sadly, we are finding that tuna
is becoming increasingly
contaminated with mercury and other organic pollutants that have found their way
into the marine
food chain. We are likely to add other cold-water fish to the list in the
future. We also know that most Americans do not eat the recommended two meals of
fish per week. Experts conclude that the average
adult consumes less than 100 mg of DHA per day. The body needs at least 3 to 4
times that amount for
proper nutrition.
DHA and EPA are vital for human health and development. From the earliest weeks
of pregnancy to
adulthood, the heart, brain and eyes depend on DHA and EPA for healthy
development and function.
The body does not use these long-chain Omega-3 fats for energy. Literally, 100%
of these nutrients
are used to protect the body and promote good health. Long-chain Omega-3 fats
have significant anti-inflammatory properties and counteract the inflammatory
properties found in Omega-6 fats. DHA and
EPA inhibit platelet function causing blood to clot less readily. The Omega-6
fats do just the opposite,
so again the long-chain Omega-3 fats keep the body in the proper balance. The
importance of
Omega-3 fats simply in regards to the excess of Omega-6 fats is more significant
than ever.
However, the health benefits of DHA and EPA are much more extensive. The direct
evidence that they
reduce coronary heart disease and reduce sudden cardiac death is so compelling
that the American
Heart Association recommends 1 gram of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids per day
for those with known
coronary heart disease. This is the first time they have ever recommended a
nutritional supplement.
There is a great deal of scientific evidence that DHA and EPA also protect the
brain significantly. The
long-chain Omega-3 fats appear to reduce Alzheimer disease, post-partum
depression, bi-polar
disease and depression.
Long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids are currently used as alternative therapies in a
wide range of
illnesses like Crohn’s disease, diabetes, Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis,
hypertriglyceridemia, eczema,
and Lupus.
The good news is that while the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids are found only in
fish, we can
extract them easily from the fish and leave the mercury and organic pollutants
behind. Fish oil
capsules contain no mercury. Mercury (actually methyl mercury, the toxic form)
is water-soluble,
not oil-soluble. Refining fish oil removes the possibility of organic pollutant
contamination. The result is
that we have a safe effective remedy to increasing Omega-3 fats in our diets.
The use of Omega-3 fatty acids supplements will become an increasingly
significant wellness strategy.
A supplement that consists of a high concentration of EPA and DHA is
recommended. A supplement
with an EPA/DHA ratio of 2:1 is best. The long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids are
already being added to
infant formula and food products but for now
SeaLogix Fish Oil
is the best and safest option.
Can walking everyday lower LDL cholesterol?
There is a large body of evidence that demonstrates the fact that regular
exercisers have less
cardiovascular disease. Regular exercise lowers blood pressure and helps
regulate body weight
resulting in less diabetes. However, many studies have shown that most workouts
fail to lower
LDL,
and only vigorous exercise can raise HDL cholesterol. So I don't think we should
guarantee
that
walking everyday will lower LDL cholesterol. But I would like you to refer you
to the latest
study
on the effects of exercise and cholesterol.
A Duke University study published in the Nov. 6 edition of the New England
Journal of Medicine
found that even modest exercise, like walking everyday, changed the size and
density of cholesterol
carrying proteins in the body. Cholesterol circulates through the body by
attaching to protein
particles. Cholesterol appears more likely to clog arteries when it is
transported by small dense
protein particles. The study revealed that regular exercise produces bigger
transport proteins that
reduce the potential risk of cholesterol even if the cholesterol level remains
the same. It seems it is
exercise's ability to change the size and density of cholesterol- carrying
protein that results in less
damage.
Exercise is not enough, however. It will require dietary reduction of saturated
fat and possibly
prescription medications to reduce LDL cholesterol. Always consult your
physician to help you develop
a long-term plan.
Now that I've had my baby, I can stop taking vitamins, right?

Trilogy UltraLogix has followed the following trends in general
healthcare and weight management to
not only create products but to strategically guide and direct the company:
General Health Care Management
- 2 out of 3 people will die of cardiovascular disease or
cancer.
- 150 million Americans take a daily nutritional supplement.
- 80% of adults in the US take vitamin and mineral supplements
every day, representing over
100 million Americans.
- In 1997, $27 billion was spent on 636 million visits to
complementary and alternative providers of
care.
- Soy, rich in phytoestrogen compounds and already said to
reduce risk for heart disease and
osteoporosis, may help protect against the onset of Alzheimer's
disease, especially in post-
menopausal women, according to a NIH study presented at a
meeting of the American Chemical
Society in San Diego.
- A diet rich in soy protein has some of the positive effects
of estrogen replacement therapy but
without the risky side effects, according to early research from
Children's Hospital Medical Center
and the University of Cincinnati.
- Research found that glucosamine can dull the pain of
osteoarthritis - the painful stiffening of the
joints that afflicts 21 million, mostly older, Americans -
according to a recent Lancet report.
- Approximately 70% of women of reproductive age may not
understand the importance of adequate
dietary folate in preventing neural tube defects (NTDs) in
offspring, according to a survey
conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) and the Michigan Department
of Community Health.
- The FDA received 470 reports of bad reactions to dietary
supplements; the nation's poison
control clinics actually treated 13,000.
- Ephedra, an herbal stimulant used by millions of Americans
for bodybuilding and weight loss, can
cause heart attacks, stroke, seizures and death in otherwise
healthy young people, researchers
say.
Weight
Management
- Three hundred thousand people die each year due to
obesity-related causes, making it the
second-leading cause of death after smoking. Being overweight or
obese increases the risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke,
diabetes and some cancers.
- Americans spend more than $33 billion a year on weight-loss
products and services. However,
that's less than half of the $70 billion estimated annual
health-related costs of treating obesity.
- The latest NHANES report on adults found that the number of
overweight adults jumped from 55
percent in the 1988-1994 survey to 61 percent in 1999.
- There has been a 58% increase in obesity amongst adults
between the ages of 20-40 since 1990.
- A national survey showed that 13 percent of children ages 6
to 11 were overweight in 1999, up
from 11 percent in the previous survey, conducted from 1988 to
1994. The number of overweight
12 to 19-year-olds increased from 11 percent to 14 percent.
- By conservative estimates, 25% of prescription weight loss
drugs are used by individuals who do
not need them, investigators from the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention in Atlanta
report in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
- 12 million Americans annually take ephedra/ma huang for
weight loss and muscle building - this is
despite numerous cases of hypertension, heart attack, stroke,
seizures and 70 known deaths
associated with ephedra.
- Excess body weight increases the risk of colon, breast and
other cancers, according to a report
in the February 1st issue of the International Journal of
Cancer.
- Studies show that both calcium and vitamin A have a major
impact on body weight and body fat.
They recommend that young women who want to lose weight consume
about 1,950 calories a
day, 5,000 international units (IU) of vitamin A, and 1,000 mg
of calcium.
