Vitamins Supplements, Nutritional Vitamins, Douglas Laboratories

We consider the use of a good multi vitamin to be essential for optimizing health. We all should eat a minimum of 5 to 9 servings per day of fruits and vegetables to obtain vitamins and phyto nutrients, but it is often difficult to achieve this amount day in and day out. And not all fruits and vegetables we eat contain everything we think they contain. Therefore, a good multi vitamin helps augment the nutrients we receive to stay healthy and functioning optimally.

Not all vitamins are created equal. For most people we recommend Ultra Preventive X as the optimal multi vitamin. It not only supplies the vitamins we need, but also contains portions of fruits and vegetables to supply the phyto nutrients as well. Phyto nutrients contain all the many enzymes found in fruits and vegetables (beyond vitamins) that act as anti-oxidants to help protect us from heart disease and cancer. An independent research publication ranked Ultra Preventive X among the top 2 vitamins of over 500 tested in the US. It received a 5 star rating, the highest possible rating in the study. Most popular name brands sold in supermarkets and pharmacies, and health food stores rated only 1, 2 , or 3 stars by comparison.

For the elderly we suggest the Douglas GERI-VITE 25.

For women of child-bearing age, add FOLIC ACID (400 I.U.), 2 capsules per day.

For osteoporosis prevention, take VITAMIN D (1000 I.U.) plus one of our calcium products (1000 mg before age 50 and 1500 mg after 50). One such product is OSTEO-SUPPORT FORMULA.

For prostate support for men, consider taking PROSTA-SUPPORT FORMULA.

For those who cannot swallow pills, several vitamins come in powder forms.

We also carry many specialty vitamins as shown below.
