Vitamin SupplementsVitamin supplements – Marilyn Vine is finding that in today’s world more and more people are becoming aware of the necessity of taking vitamin supplements, mineral supplements, essential fatty acids and ensuring that they have an alkaline diet with both the foods they are ingesting and the water they are drinking. Before I continue with this information I would like to insert an article received from Orthomolecular Medicine dated 26 January 2010. I found this article of particular importance to me personally and the concept that Stephen H. Brown, PhD speaks of in giving his teenage children the ability to control their own vitamin intake. Obviously Stephen would have put controls in place as he itemises the quantity of the vitamins offered as being the maximum. I know myself that when I take supplementation how I feel and Stephen has used this knowledge to teach his children how to care for themselves. What powerful parenting! Click on the link and read the article: Not ONE death caused by vitamin supplements in 2010! On 28 December 2011 Orthomolecular Medicine again brings us information on a report released by American Association of Poison Control Centers which again confirms “no deaths from vitamins”! Recently I have been reading that allopathic medicine is trying to shut down alternative medicine because it is so dangerous! Really!!! I wonder how many pharmaceutical deaths were recorded in 2010? Would be an interesting statistic to know. The first link will be Orthomolecular’s story and the second link will take you to a website where you can look at some of the wonderful nutritional supplements that I personally take. On 14 June 2011, Orthomolecular Medicine brings us a report on deaths related to vitamin supplements for the last 27 years based on information gained from Centers for Disease Control (CDC). You will notice in the table supplied that some deaths are reported but then read what Andrew Saul has to say about these deaths when he looked at the actual death information. What do you know about CoQ10? This is a co-enzyme and it is found in the mitochondria of every cell of the body. The mitochondria could be described as the energy furnace of the cell. Of special significance is the role CoQ10 plays in producing energy in heart cells. It can also be of intense benefit to the immune system. It is good for periodontal or gum disease. New research has linked obesity with CoQ10 deficiencies. As we age our production of CoQ10 markedly declines and therefore it is important, if we want to retain our youth, to supplement on CoQ10. To read a study undertaken on – Anti-fatigue Effects of CoQ10 During Physical Exercise published in Nutrition 11 February 2008. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of CoQ10 on physical fatigue. For further information click on the link below: 05-May-2008 - Supplements of co-enzyme Q10 may reduce the occurrence of muscular injuries in athletes, suggests new research from Japan. Levels of markers associated with increased wear and tear in the muscle, like creatine kinase and lipid peroxide, were significantly lower in elite Japanese kendo athletes after consuming co-enzyme Q10 for 20 days, compared to placebo.
