JAMA, 19 June 2002

“Most people do not consume an optimal amount

of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong

evidence of effectiveness from randomized

trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take

vitamin supplements.”

Robert H. Fletcher, MD, MSc; Kathleen M. Fairfield, MD, DrPH, Harvard

University.

Journal of the American Medical Association 2002; 287: 3127-3129

Why Use Supplements?To prevent nutrient deficiencies and provide optimal levels of nutrients

Vitamin C (Scurvy)– 4-5 oranges weekly to prevent tooth loss from scurvy– dozen oranges a day for effective antioxidant activity Vitamin E– 100- 400 IU daily for antioxidant– high sources only available in fatty food - obesity B-vitamins– Folic acid and neural tube defects

with and neutralize the highly reactive free

radicals that otherwise can damage the cells

throughout our bodies

in synergy to afford effective protection from free radical

damage

Vitamin E

Vitamin C

Mineral cofactors (selenium, zinc, copper,

manganese)

Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein, and lycopene)

Essential Fatty Acids Balance intake of essential fatty acids (more omega-3, less

omega-6).

EFAs have numerous health benefits, including helping restore

damaged skin, and maintaining moist and smooth skin.

Double-blind study in The Lancet found omega-3s may address

symptoms associated with certain problem skin conditions.

Omega-3s found in fish, flaxseed, and certain food supplements.
