We do not eat enough to get all the nutrients that we need from our food on a daily basis,
so that is just one of many reasons why we need to take supplements. (Toxins in the
environment, too much food processing, depletion of minerals in soil, food transportation system
is too good (making nutrients disintegrate as it travels far), heat – all reduce the nutrients in our
foods.) Everyone needs to supplement their diet – from babies to the elderly. Nutritional needs
change over time. Minimum of what we need in our daily diet:
1. Dairy – provides calcium and Vit. D;
2. Fruits & Vegs. – antioxidants, fiber, and phytonutrients (carotenoids, sulfurophanes,
proanthrocyanidins)
3. Whole grains – B vitamins and fiber
4. Meat – B vitamins (especially B-12). (Grass fed beef has higher content of omega 3s
than corn fed.) (If you don’t eat enough proteins, then you can’t get enough amino
acids.)
5. Oils – Omega 3 fatty acids 1-3 gms. (3 types):
a. EPA – heart and joints
b. DHA – brain and eyes
c. ALA – brain and joints; ALA found in nuts, plants (vegetarian)
The higher the saturated fats in a membrane of a cell, the harder it has to work.
Neurogenesis – body’s ability to make new brain cells. Increase omega 3s for brain.
(We get way too many Omega 6s, 20:1 ratio b/w Omega 6s and 3s. Should be 2:1 or
equal.)
Phytonutrients: Nutrilite discovered it! It is the chemicals in plants that assist in chemical
reactions in the body. Example: Lutein in eye. Lycopene, quercetin, resveratrol, catechins, and
theaflavins. (No one eats enough fruits and vegs. to get phytonutrients.)
How you season your meat you can be adding phytonutrients.
Only 5% of men and 7% of women get enough phytonutrients:
1. Carrots – alpha carotene
2. Oranges – hesperitin (anti-inflammatory agent) and β-cryptoxanthin (a strong
antioxidant)
3. Tomatoes – lycopene
4. Strawberries – ellagic acid
Probiotics:
Comes from the food we eat. It is good bacteria that promote a healthy digestive system.
Also helps immune system of adults, children, and infants. Broad spectrum is best.
For example, Inulin is found in fruits and vegs. and is the good bacteria.
Multi-Vitamin/Mineral:
1. 100% of the RDA for most nutrients (and content based on science)
2. Whole-Plant concentrates
3. Natural vitamins when its important
a. Vit. C
b. Vit. E & β-carotene (Body only recognizes 1 form of Vit. E although 8 are
synthetically made.)
c. Folic acid (manmade) vs. folate (natural in green leafy vegs.)
d. Vit. D is fat soluble (which means you can store it).
i. RDA 400-600 iu (upper limit 2,000 iu)
ii. Benefits bone health
iii. Sub-clinical deficiencies – the effect of low Vit. D takes years to affect our
bodies.
Negative Research on Supplementation
1. Many are observational studies (looking at large groups of people, but does not mean it
will happen to you);
2. Many factors aren’t considered – use synthetic vitamins which have no phytonutrients
3. Use Supplements as treatment
a. Supp. should mimic food – hence plant concentrates
b. They are not medications
c. Individual extracts are more medicine than plant

There are no studies that prove we can get the nutrients we need from the foods that we
eat – good or bad diet. The RDA will prevent deficiencies but do not attain optimal health.
Cabbage has phytonutrients and sailors use to wrap wounds with cabbage.

Calories DOES NOT EQUAL Nutrients.
Fruits and vegs. provide antioxidants and fiber3
May be related to many other conditions such as depression. ?? What does? The fact that we
don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables?

J Nutr. Oct 2010; 140(10): 1832–1838. (In this recently published population-based study, all age groups
included, the analysis compared what we eat w/ the minimal intake (RDA) to be healthy. As fruits & vegs' intake
increases, risk of heart disease decreases in both males and females.)

Because we give it to them.

Pick at the peak of nutritional value. (For example, tomatoes, when they are green.)
What Makes a Quality Manufacturer (like Nutrilite)?
1. Grows certified organic fruits, vegs., and herbs;
2. Owns its own farms – create vertical integration (control from the ground up, seed to
supplement);
3. Uses whole plant concentrates (stems, leaves, etc.) in its supplements – take raw material,
take out the water and fiber in a specified temp so as not to destroy its viability.
4. Research-Based Formulations – if the science changes, so does the process.
5. Quality control standards exceed government regulations (has always used Good
Manufacturing Practices – labeling accurately reflects what’s in the product);
Supplementation for Health Conditions
Always talk with your doctor about conventional treatment for every condition. Dietary
supplements do NOT replace treatment. They provide the nutrients that your body needs that
may help the condition.
1. Supplementation Rule #1 – Don’t cure disease!
2. Supplementation Rule #2 – See Rule #1
3. Supplementation Rule #3 – Nothing replaces diet and exercise! (Type II Diabetes: If
you walk 30 minutes/day, w/in 3 days you can train your body to turn insulin receptors
on so it can process the sugar in your body much better.)
I. Terms
A. Standardized Extract – special active ingredient in the extract that has research behind it.
Example, garlic extract standardized to allicin content.
B. Pharmaceutical Grade – No definition by the FDA as it relates to Supplements.
C. FDA Approved – Not a term used by the FDA. Company is making something up if you
see that (as well as in pharmaceutical grade above).
II. Supplementation Strategy
Always begin w/ vits. and minerals first, then other nutrients (omega 3s, Coenzyme Q10,
Digestive enzymes, probiotics, fibers) and finally herbs. Use the stepwise approach: try one
supp. at a time for at least 30 days before adding another and take supp. consistently for 90
days before stopping—but stop immediately if you have a negative reaction.

Detoxification
It is the process of refreshing and restoring the biochemical system in the body that eliminate
natural and manmade toxins. The toxins are called xenobiotics.
A Cleanse is a controlled fast w/ the objective of cleaning out the digestive system and restoring
it to normal function.
The Detoxification Process – thru the liver
Phase 1 – take fat soluble toxins and turn them to water soluble
Phase 2 – Take water soluble and excrete them out of the body
Milk thistle – only one to detox.
