Daily Supplements for Your Health
Byron J. Richards, CCN -- Science clearly demonstrates that a wide array of nutrients are absolutely necessary to maintain your health as factors like a demanding life, stress, pollution, and too much processed food combine to take their toll on your health. Using nutrition to compensate for modern life is far different than the idea of simply being deficient in something -- this is about maintaining your vital health reserves so that you are much more likely to maintain a good quality of health at any age. This is the basis of anti-aging nutrition and maximizing your genetic potential!* Wellness Resources stands alone in placing unparalleled quality into a comprehensive and convenient pack of high-octane, pharmaceutical-grade nutrients that are wonderful for daily nutrition. This collection of seven capsules is called the Daily Super Pack -- your bedrock foundation for a quality supplement program. These are my personal favorites that I take every day and have for years. Because I am an absolute quality fanatic you can rest assured that you are getting only the best -- a difference you can truly feel.* A brief description of the Daily Super Pack and the products it contains is listed next. Without understanding all the details this makes it easy for you to get started, knowing that you are covering all your bases. Many of our customers like to know the details -- so following this introductory product section is detailed information about what makes our products different, how important each product may be to you and why, as well as other products that may be relevant to you.

Are You Getting Enough Protein and Fiber? Why Dietary Supplements are So Important to Your HealthA variety of factors have combined to create a perfect storm of nutrient deficiencies in the general population. Such factors include crops grown in nutrient deficient soils, food animals raised in inhumane and unhealthy conditions, a lack of fresh food, excess consumption of junk food and heavily processed convenience foods, genetically modified toxic food, numerous approved chemicals in the diet, pesticides used in growing food, massive environmental pollution, and a high stress, often sedentary life. These factors make it quite easy to be lacking in nutrients required to maintain health, posing a specific challenge to energy reserves (B-Vitamins and other energetic co-factors), alkaline reserves (minerals vital for health and bones), and antioxidant reserves (needed for the basic protection of all cells in the body). Running nutrient deficiencies, especially for prolonged periods of time, is highly stressful to your body. Thus, a truly helpful basic dietary supplement program must address these issues as its core purpose.* Combining a comprehensive dietary supplementation plan with a good diet and consistent exercise is common sense for any person of any age, simply to support and maintain health -- and not age any faster than you have to.* What Goes In To a True Quality ProductThere is quite a lot that goes in to formulating quality supplements. One major consideration is space. How many fine quality nutrients can you fit in a capsule? Most high quality forms of nutrients, especially minerals, take up significant space. This means more capsules -- which is why our Daily Super Pack has seven capsules per serving (ideally you would take two packs per day). Some companies try to cut corners and costs by using junk minerals like calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide -- these take up less space and cost very little -- and don't do much of anything either. If you are unlucky enough to absorb junk calcium carbonate it can give you alarming breast lumps, gall stones, kidney stones, or help calcify your arteries. The oxides in cheap magnesium products actually use up your antioxidants. Low-cost supplements are not only cheaply made, in my opinion they are not safe to consume. Many companies address the space issue by compressing their products into tablets -- making them difficult or impossible to absorb. Sure they can get twice as much in a single tablet, but your body can't use it. In many people tablets pass through undigested because they have been crammed together with dicalcium phosphate (nutrient glue) and coated with who knows what. I would never purchase products from a company whose basic vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant products are in tablets -- they simply don't care about your health no matter what they say. At Wellness Resources we put our products in easy to break down vegetable cellulose capsules known as Vcaps (we don't use beef gelatin capsules due to concerns about possible contamination). These cost more but are worth it in terms of easily dissolving capsules and your safety. The Wellness Resources Daily Super Pack sets the quality standard for the entire dietary supplement industry. I have spent years designing and perfecting this combination of superior nutrients. This is the product with plenty under the hood for the discerning and health conscious consumer who wants the very best for their health and the health of their family.* You will never see this fine array of nutrients at this price in any health professional supplement line -- because these companies have to inflate their prices to sell through health professionals which means they may talk a good game but when you look at the labels plenty is missing. Likewise, health food stores, drug stores, supermarkets, and network marketing companies wouldn't dream of putting together this much quality in one serving -- as they would have to charge you triple the price we charge to sustain their ridiculous mark-ups for poor quality. In each of the following sections I will explain in more depth some of the quality differences that make our products so special. More About Daily Energy Multiple VitaminThe original reason I designed Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin was to help people who had little or no energy. Part of our secret is using all coenzyme forms of B vitamins, the actual type your cells use to make energy. Ordinary B vitamin supplements or B vitamins in food must have energy donated to them to make them biologically active -- a process known as phosphorylation. This may not work so well if you are already tired. When you take our co-enzyme B vitamins you are taking a "pre-energized" dietary supplement -- a difference you can really feel.* Besides using the best form of the B vitamins we also put enough of them in our product to actually do something useful for you. Take vitamin B12, always the most expensive B vitamin in any multiple vitamin. It is little wonder most companies hardly use any (doses of 6 mcg to 25 mcg are common -- what a joke). In one capsule of Daily Energy you get 266 mcg -- ten times the amount! Why? Because vitamin B12 is vital to your nerves and brain and your ability to tolerate stress.* Not only that -- you get the real coenzyme forms of the B12 - 50% coenzyme adenosylcobalamin and 50% coenzyme methylcobalamin -- a huge product quality difference. Cheap companies always use cyanacobalamin -- precisely because they are cheap companies that could care less about your health. Cyanacobalamin is not a coenzyme form of B12 -- rather, your body must use energy to strip away the front end molecule which happen to be cyanide! Then you have to spend energy detoxifying the cyanide. How much cyanide do you want to take? Why take any? If the B12 in your multi or B complex is from cyanacobalamin throw it in the trash where it belongs -- along with every other piece of junk that company makes.* Another reason for the energy-producing success of Daily Energy Multi is that we attach our minerals to special energy producing compounds like malic acid. This helps the minerals absorb better and it helps them transport into cells as they can piggyback in on the transporter like malic acid. Malic acid is needed by cells to make energy and if you don't have enough you are likely to get fatigued too easily.* There is no multiple vitamin on the market today that remotely compares to Daily Energy. It can boost your mood, help you tolerate stress, and keep you energized. Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin is our most basic supplement for everyone.*
More About Daily Bone XcelThere are two capsules of Daily Bone Xcel in each Daily Super Pack -- to help boost calcium intake. This is our basic multiple mineral formulation that contains fine quality calcium, magnesium, and co-factor nutrients that promote bone health, such as vitamins D and K.* Our calcium comes from ocean coral and MCHC (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite). Coral minerals are geometrically structured by small sea animals (coral polyps) producing a true mineral food form. It is the only form of calcium that is both fat and water soluble, providing superior absorption along with a comprehensive array of naturally-occurring trace minerals and magnesium. MCHC is a true crystalline bone food providing all the nutrients naturally occurring within the bone matrix -- including calcium in a form that is ready to be incorporated into bones. It is proven to support bone health.* The quality of calcium is extremely important. We never compress minerals into tablets, as this makes them much harder to absorb. And we never use cheap minerals like plain calcium carbonate, bone meal, dolomite, or oyster shell, as they are very hard to use properly in metabolism. While calcium citrate is easy to absorb, the large quantity of citrate needed for 1000 mg of calcium per day may cause headaches or fatigue. Wellness Resources specializes in exceptionally useful forms of vitamins and minerals, especially calcium.*
More About Daily BuilderDaily Builder is our all purpose body tissue support product, with additional help for bones. Think of it as a multiple vitamin for all of your body's various structures. It helps you to form collagen and connective tissue, a vital need if you are to properly offset wear and tear. This formula also contains niacinamide to help stimulate your chondrocytes that help build and maintain your joint cartilage.* Its extra magnesium helps provide a relaxing effect on tight muscles. Many customers report less aches and pains when taking Daily Builder. In fact, it is one of the very best combinations of nutrients to support low back and hip issues.* Daily Bone Xcel and Daily Builder directly contribute to your alkaline reserves -- your natural buffers for stress. If these reserves run low then your pH becomes to acid -- in turn deactivating numerous enzymes and energy-related compounds that are essential for sustained health. When pH is too acid, represented by fatigue when you get up in the morning, then these acids can even leech calcium right out of your bones! There is no need to experience this type of wear and tear. Take enough minerals and related cofactors to keep your alkaline reserves well supplied -- you'll be glad you did!*
More About Daily ProtectorDaily Protector is a synergistic combination of the finest antioxidants you can find. It is as if you went to the supermarket and just happened to find some of the finest fruit and vegetable extracts anywhere in the world. These fine quality extracts are actually easier to absorb than food, as the fiber that most important nutrients are bound to in food has already been stripped away.* There are several things to understand about antioxidants. They work in a synergistic network, helping to re-energize each other. This means that when you are properly nourished with a wide variety of related antioxidants all of your antioxidants work better. Daily Protector is a broad spectrum array of synergistic antioxidant s.* Do not ever take synthetic beta carotene -- it is actually dangerous and may do you more harm than good. You can always tell if you are taking it because the source of the beta carotene will not be listed on the label (which means it came from a chemical). Natural beta carotene always lists the source. In our product it is from sea algae and contains the complete array of carotenes found in nature and proven to be of value for your health.* Antioxidants are the great protectors of your cells. When you consume them regularly you maintain higher levels throughout all tissues in your body. When your antioxidant reserves run low then your cells are at high risk for unneeded damage -- even performing routine energy producing activities. It is not possible for any cell to live its optimal span of time if there are not adequate antioxidants on board. Don't leave home without your Daily Protector.*
More About Daily BalancerPollution and toxic exposure in air, food, and water is such a major problem in today's world that no person can escape significant exposure. This is why Daily Balancer is a daily formula -- either defend yourself or pay the price. Daily Balancer significantly boosts the antioxidant protection of Daily Protector -- but this time the antioxidants are targeted to help protect your liver and help it do its job of removing these poisons from your body.* Your liver uses various detoxification pathways that require various nutrients to function in an optimal way. Your liver uses a variety of enzymes to neutralize many toxins, often referred to as Phase I and Phase II detoxification pathways. Phase I relies on the family of cytochrome P450 enzymes. It requires antioxidants to work properly, as each toxin processed requires an antioxidant for proper neutralization. The most important liver antioxidant for Phase I function is glutathione peroxidase (GSH), which is supported by nutrients in Daily Balancer as well as Daily Protector. P450 enzymes either deactivate a toxin directly or modify it so that other enzymes in the Phase II system can get rid of it.* In Phase II small molecules are added to the toxin to help excrete it through the bile or urine, a process known as conjugation. This system requires energy (ATP) and a supply of the molecules to attach to the toxins in order to work properly. This is where Daily Balancer really excels, providing a key array of nutrients to carry out natural Phase II functions.* On top of that Daily Balancer protects you liver so that it can not only keep removing these toxins but it can carry out its other important chores relating to your metabolism of calories. Daily Balancer is the best friend your liver ever had.*
More About Daily Super ERounding out the Daily Super Pack is Daily Super E, the best form of vitamin E ever discovered. I have a special mixture of alpha and gamma tocotrienol made for Wellness Resources customers -- with no filler oils of any kind. Alpha tocotrienol provides highly superior cellular uptake and antioxidant activity, especially for brain cells and cells that line arteries. Gamma tocotrienol is a natural regulator of cholesterol -- supporting the ability of the body to maintain healthy cholesterol levels that are already in the normal range. There is no vitamin E supplement on the market today that compares to the quality of Daily Super E -- a true breakthrough in vitamin E nutrition.* The worst form of vitamin E has an "l" after the "d" -- such as dl alpha tocopheryl. It is derived from coal tar and once again belongs in the trash with any other product made by any company that sells this garbage. A lot of natural vitamin E is derived from soy oil, and the finished capsule contains 30% or 50% soy that has been oxidized (damaged) during production. This means the soy will use up the vitamin E while it sits on the shelf -- not very effective.* Our tocotrienols are derived from rice brain oil, a highly superior source that maintains its potency for the shelf life of the product. Tocotrienols from palm are almost all gamma tocotrienol and the palm oil is so thick that other oils must be added to make it flow in capsuling machines. Our unique product combines the super antioxidant alpha tocotrienol along with the cholesterol modulating gamma tocotrienol -- in a pure and undiluted form.* There is no other vitamin E product on the market today that can hold a candle next to Daily Super E.*
Are You Lacking Essential Fatty Acids?In addition to the vital nutrients contained in the Daily Super Pack, many people are in need of supplemental essential fatty acids. You get these in your diet from eating fatty fish like salmon or tuna -- the problem is you may also get a dose of mercury from the same fish. Range raised animals that graze on grass have good levels of omega 3 in their fat -- the problem is that most animals we eat do not graze on grass and instead eat corn or some other food that does not have omega 3.* An ideal diet would have at least 1 gram of omega 3 oil per day -- and up to six grams a day if your are seeking extra cardiovascular or weight management help. At Wellness Resources our flagship essential fatty acid product is called Leptinal®, which contains molecularly distilled DHA that is free of mercury and other contaminants. This formula is balanced with another essential oil called GLA and a wide variety of cardiovascular friendly extracts -- including pomegranate, citrus methoxyflavones, and tocotrienols.* Leptinal® can be added to the Daily Super Pack, as desired. It is also the anchor product in our comprehensive cardiovascular health packet (The LeptiCardio Pack) and in our weight management packet (The Leptin Control Pack). Our packs are designed so that you can modularly add them together to expand comprehensive health coverage for topics that are important to you.* We also carry DHA by itself in a small softgel capsule that is ideal for children. DHA is needed for optimal brain function, focus, and intelligence. Realize that your child will make brain cells out of whatever fat they eat -- you really can't expect optimal mental performance from a diet founded on potato chips and French fries.*
Are You Getting Enough Protein and Fiber?Our government tells us we need at least 50 grams a day of protein and 25 grams a day of fiber -- in my opinion both amounts are on the low side. It always amazes me that the government sees no difference in protein need for a 220 pound man compared to a 125 pound woman -- surely there has to be a difference! A rule of thumb I have used for many years is your ideal weight in grams of protein per day. Slightly more if you are very active or under high stress, slightly less if you have a sedentary lifestyle. The more you exercise the higher your protein needs.* Unfortunately many people don't eat enough protein -- setting the stage for wear and tear. Protein is really helpful at breakfast to turn on your liver's engines and get your day started on the right foot. If you are in a hurry to start your day (like I often am), then a protein drink is a great way to get going for the day. I rely on Daily Protein Plus to give me a mix of the finest way protein, oat beta glucan fiber, and a serving of mangosteen (an antioxidant fruit).* Many people need more fiber than they are getting. This is certainly true for people who eat a lot of refined food or for those who are cutting back on carbohydrates while dieting. You must have adequate fiber to keep your bowels moving. Fiber also acts like a sponge for toxins, helping to reduce the chores of your liver. And fiber is also friendly to your heart and helps you to manage your cholesterol levels.* Getting enough protein and fiber is not always easy -- but it is just plain common sense. I typically mix a heaping tablespoon of Fiber Helper in with may Daily Protein Plus -- a simple and easy way to ensure these important dietary needs are met.
