Long term use of multivitamins has been associated with a reduced risk for developing cataracts, heart disease and cancer. Compared with nonusers of vitamins, the 5-year risk for any cataract was 60% lower among persons who, at follow-up, reported using multivitamins for more than 10 years (3). A recent study showed that taking a multi, helped to prevent the occurrence of heart attacks in 45-70 year-old Swedish men and women (4). In another study, we learn that taking multivitamins reduced the expression of colon cancer. Almost 90,000 nurses were followed for over 15 years. Short-term use of multivitamins was insignificant; however, the results indicate that using multivitamins for 15 years or longer may decrease colon cancer risk by 75% (5).

 Recommended Dose: 2 Capsules per day

An ideal supplement for people not eating fatty fish and/or those not getting enough omega-3s in their diet.  Omega 3's have shown to decrease inflammation in your body thus helping with pain, lower cholesterol, and improve cardiovascular function.  Omega 3's are probably one of the most studied supplement with consistent research backing up their benefits.  At NOVA Chiropractic & Wellness Center we offer Concentrated Omega-3s. Each capsule contains 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA, for a total of 600 mg per capsule. To reach 1-2 grams per day, 2-4 capsules should be taken each day. Concentrated omega-3 fish oil is purified by a molecular distillation process and it is free of mercury and tested for stability.

Recommended Dose:  4 Capsules per day = 2 grams

Magnesium has been described as the "5th and forgotten mineral." Many people readily supplement with calcium, and have no notion that magnesium is an extremely important nutrient. We are told that a substantial number of Americans do not consume adequate amounts of magnesium, and the CDC researchers tell us that this can lead to numerous conditions associated with inflammation, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and headaches; and magnesium is currently used to treat cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, asthma, preeclampsia and eclampsia.  With patient's diagnosised with Fibromylgia, a magnesium deficiency may be a contributor to the disease.   

Recommended Dose: 3 Capsules per day= 400 mg

Ultra K2-D3 or Vitamin D is a very important nutrient and misunderstood. When sunlight hits the skin, cholesterol is converted into vitamin D. In times past, we got our vitamin D largely from the sun, however, in modern times, we spend far too much time indoors, and so we do not typically get enough sun. For example, we know that vitamin D levels for people living in Florida, Boston, and Canada are similar, which means that we all need to be aware that an inadequate level of vitamin D is likely for many of us, no matter where we live. Even individuals living in desert environments can be deficient in vitamin D if sun exposure is avoided.  

Recommended Dose: 2 Tablets per day = 2,000 IU

CoEnzyme Q10 is an important component in the energy producing system of the body. It is found in mitochondria, subcellular structures responsible for generating about 95% of the total energy needed by the human body. CoEnzyme Q10 is the enzyme that makes this engine work. Its antioxidant activity protects cell membranes, proteins, and DNA from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.  CoQ10 may also be a very important supplement to consider for those taking statin drugs to lower cholesterol. Statins are one the most commonly prescribed medications today. While statins do lower blood levels of dangerous LDL-cholesterol and C-reactive protein, statins also reduce the body’s synthesis of precious CoQ10 by about 25-60% (5,6). This is because CoQ10 and cholesterol are made in the same pathway from the same precursor substance called HMG-CoA. Common side effects of statins are thought to be due the inhibition of CoQ10 synthesis, which include: muscle pain (7), difficulty breathing (7), polyneuropathy (8). fatigue (9), severe irritability and aggression (10), and memory loss and cognitive defects.

 Pro-Enz formulated for extended nutritional support of inflammation management. The combination of bromelain (plant based proteolytic enzyme) and other key ingredients make it ideal for long term maintenance. Pro-Enz is recommended for follow up after the acute phase of injury is addressed, as support for patients with physically demanding lifestyles (heavy labor, athletes) as well as those subject to pro-inflammatory lifestyle factors (poor diet, stress, etc.)

Recommended Dose: 2-4 Capsules per day

Acetyl L-Carnitine is a potent antioxidant composed of acetic acid and L-carnitine bound together. It also promotes nervous system health and helps support adrenal glands and brain function. Aging and age-related diseases are driven by chronic inflammation. It is likely that you have heard of the term “free radicals,” which are chemicals thought to drive chronic inflammation and aging.  Researchers have found taking Acetyl L-Carnitine improved energy, increased activity, and can improve memory.

Recommended Dose: 2 Capsules per day = 1000mg

Our cells undergo daily damage by free radicals produced in the body. To counter this, one needs an adequate supply of antioxidant nutrients. ALA ORAC+ provides a powerful mix of antioxidants, including Hi-ORAC fruit and Hi-ORAC vegetable blends, which provides the antioxidant equivalent of 2 servings of fruit plus 2 servings of vegetables. Alpha Lipoic Acid provides a barrier of protection both within the cell and on the cell's surface, as it is both water and fat soluble.

Recommended Dose: 2 Capsules per day = 400mg

Glucosamine, chondroitin are two popular ingredients that are combined to provide comprehensive joint support. Used in combination, Glucosamine and chondroitin formula provides a convenient supplement to support healthy joints.  Glucosamine/chondroitin has been most studied in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. In these studies, there were no dietary or supplement changes, save for the addition of glucosamine/chondroitin. Surprisingly, subjects who took glucosamine/chondroitin had less pain and better joint space maintenance compared with those taking placebo. This was demonstrated when glucosamine was used in a 2-year study (1). More recently, the combination of glucosamine/ chondroitin reduced pain more than Celebrex in patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee (2).

Recommended Dose: 2-4 Capsules per day
