Supplements your child needs now

Most young children will choose a cookie over brussel sprouts any day. If you can’t get your child to eat their fruit and veggies, nutrition experts agree that a high-quality children’s multivitamin can provide important missing nutrients for developing brains and bodies. Many times children need more than just a multiple. Here are some of the top picks experts had chosen.

Calcium

Most multiple for children provide less than 100 mg calcium, recommended daily intake 1,000 mg for ages 4 to 8; 1,300 mg for age 9 and older.

If your children eat dairy or fortified foods (soy milk, orange juice, tofu), they may be getting plenty.  If not, consider giving them supplements with calcium as well as magnesium and vitamin D, which growing bones need to absorb calcium. Many calcium supplements come in kid friendly chewable forms.

Dose: In addition to a daily multivitamin, take 200 mg calcium and 400–600 IU vitamin D3. Caution some multivitamins contain these amounts.

Try: Our new line of Kids vitamins and kids calcium will be in soon!

Magnesium

Magnesium is one of the hardest supplements to get from food since its sources come from foods most kids don’t like, dark green leafy vegetables, nuts, whole grains. Beyond bones, magnesium supports muscle and nerve function as well as playing a role in sleep and moods and bowel regularity. Some research shows that low magnesium levels have been linked to ADHD and hyperactivity.

Dose: Up to 100 mg magnesium in the morning and evening daily. Powdered or liquid magnesium supplements can be a good way to tailor dose to individual needs.

Try: We carry a new powdered magnesium powder easy to add into fruit drinks and smoothes..

Omega-3s

Unless your child is eating three or more servings a week of fatty fish like salmon, sardines, or tuna ,they are most likely deficient in fish oil. EPA and DHA, the omega-3 essential fatty acids from fish oil, are critical for development of the eyes and brain. Children deficient in omega 3 have been shown to be more aggressive and show a higher rate of depression, as well as ADHD. Omega-3has been shown to treat and prevent allergies and asthma.

Dose: Children over age 4 need about 250 mg DHA and 180 mg EPA daily; teens need about 500 mg DHA and 365 mg EPA. Choose a high-quality, citrus-flavored fish oil or cod-liver oil, in liquid, soft gel, or gummy form. For the vegetarian, look for an algae-sourced DHA-EPA product.

Try: Now have a nice omega formula for children in liquid

Probiotics

These friendly gut bacteria improve digestion, ease constipation, and support the immune system. Children in day-care centers, who take probiotics, get fewer colds and ear infections. Kids can get probiotics from eating yogurt, but the high sugar content in flavored yogurts diminishes the benefits, use the plain yogurt and add your own fresh fruit to get the benefits as well as reduce the sugar load and it is more economical. Give this product to give your child after they’ve been treated with an antibiotic, this may boost the immune system and eliminate the next sickness

Dose: 10 billion CFU or more daily, as needed.

Try; Don’t skimp on quality get a good quality probiotic we are building immune systems

Vitamin D

Our body makes Vitamin D. It is not truly a Vitamin but a hormone. The sun is most times not enough for most kids since we are not in the sun long enough to get all the benefits. Milk contains addition Vit D but it is not enough and it is synthetic Vit D2 . Vitamin D is found naturally in foods such as eggs, cod liver oil and fish in the form of D3 which is important for immunity and bone health. Cautious where your eggs and food comes from fresh organic is best and no cage raised.

Dose:400–2,000 IU daily. The Institute of Medicine recently doubled its recommendation for children to 400 IU daily, but many kids may need more. It is easy test to see what amount vitamin d your child has get a blood test Remember Vit d is good but to much is bad do not over due it with out testing first!

Try: There are now Vit d drops for infants as well.

Zinc

A building block for a healthy immune system, this trace mineral supports the senses of taste and smell. Picky eaters who crave sugar may be deficient in zinc It’s essential for sexual development at puberty. Red meat, Chicken and beans are all good sources for zinc.

Dose: 2–4 mg of a as zinc or look for a multi mineral liquid that includes calcium, magnesium, and zinc.

Try: Another easily tested vitamin to test ,ask about the zinc tally test.

It’s a good idea to talk to your health care provider before starting a new supplement.

Pesticides and pollutions in our foods put unnecessary stress on the body to void these toxins from the body. The detox organs such as the liver and kidneys, are most affected.

A unhealthy gut creates toxins an imbalance in the intestinal flora, causing toxic side effects thus causing a imbalance in the way the body can metabolize the by products of waste causing a over all toxic affect from gut imbalances.

It has been said, toxic over load can lead to diseases such as auto-immune diseases, inflammatory conditions/rheumatoid arthritis and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Vitamin E and Prostate Cancer

Study supports prostate cancer benefits of tocotrienols
By Lorraine Heller, 30-Jul-2010

Related topics: Research, Vitamins & premixes, Cancer risk reduction

The link between Vitamin E and cancer benefits has received extra backing from a new study, which found that a mix of different forms of the vitamin helped prevent prostate tumor growth in mice.

Published in the August issue of Nutrition and Cancer, the study found that tumor protection increased with higher doses of a d-mixed tocotrienol complex.


If you are someone you know suffers from prostate cancer read this and forward this great information

“Mixed tocotrienols inhibited prostate tumor growth in TRAMP mice without any signs of toxicity,” wrote the researchers from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

There are eight forms of vitamin E: four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta). The complex used in the current study was the Tocomin branded blend supplied by Carotech, which contains D-α-tocotrienol (12–14%), D-β-tocotrienol (1%), D-γ -tocotrienol (18–20%), D-δ-tocotrienol (4–6%), and D-α-tocopherol (12–14%).

Tramp model

Around 40 mice were used in the study, divided into three treatment groups and two control groups. The researchers chose to use the transgenic adenocarcinoma mouse prostate (TRAMP) mouse model because of its close resemblance to the various stages of human prostate cancer.

All animals followed the same diet, but the three treatment groups also received 0.1, 0.3, or 1 percent mixed tocotrienols designed to deliver dosages of around 1.7, 5.2, and 17.1 mg, respectively, of D-γ -tocotrienol/day. The tocotrienol diet was followed for 24 weeks.


Mice were all eight weeks old at the start of the study. Regular weight checks and health monitoring throughout the study period found all animals to be in a good health condition with no significant change observed in body weights among mice fed the Tocomin diet or the normal diet.

Fewer tumors


The researchers report that after their study period, mice in the Tocomin-supplemented group had a significantly lower occurrence of prostate tumors compared to the control.

Tests revealed that 38, 33 and 22 percent of mice in the 0.1, 0.3 and 1 percent Tocomin-diet groups respectively developed palpable tumors. This compared to 73 percent in the control group mice.

In addition, mixed tocotrienols were found to suppress the progression of high-grade prostatic neoplastic lesions to fully developed tumors by modulating the cell cycle and affecting the expression of proapoptotic proteins.

The researchers concluded that their findings “further support the potential use of tocotrienols as prostate cancer chemopreventive agents in humans.”

News about Monster Energy Drinks

Energy Drinks Are Risky Behavior in a Can

Marketers would have us believe that superpowers can be had by popping the top and guzzling a colorful can of "energy" with names like

Red Bull, Vitamin Water, Monster Energy and Guru.

However, while energy drinks flowed fairly easily from gyms to the club scene to the mainstream, new research has linked them to health risks. This is truly ironic given how the beverages are sold to the health-seeking set.

Nancy Appleton, PhD, a nutritional consultant based in La Jolla, California, and author of Stopping Inflammation (Square One), was asked whether or not there is any basis at all for claims that these drinks have positive attributes. In a word, she said "no,".

There's nothing to be gained by turning to artificial, chemical-laden products that are, in fact, actually harmful.

Dr. Appleton says the caffeine content of many energy drinks is uncomfortably high.

According to a report in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology, energy drinks contain as much as 141 milligrams (mg) of caffeine per serving, often more than an eight-ounce cup of coffee (about 83 mg to 135 mg -- and coffee also contains natural co-factors that counteract some of the stimulating effect of caffeine).

Energy drinks also exceed the .02% caffeine content generally recognized as safe by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in its guidelines for colas.

In comparison, a 12-ounce Coca-Cola Classic contains 34.5 mg of caffeine... Pepsi contains 38 mg... and Tab has 46.5 mg. And, with energy drinks, as with colas and cups of coffee, many people don't stop with one.

RESEARCH PINPOINTS RISKS

In addition to excess amounts of caffeine, research conducted at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and presented at the American Heart Association's annual conference in 2007 found a link between consumption of energy drinks and elevated blood pressure and heart rate.

After abstaining from all caffeine for two days, healthy young adults drank two energy drinks, each containing 80 milligrams of caffeine and 1,000 milligrams of taurine, an amino acid thought to boost alertness that is found in protein foods like meat and fish.

Having taken baseline measurements before energy drink consumption, researchers measured blood pressure, heart rate and did an EKG following the drink -- at 30 minutes, an hour, two, three and four hours later. For the next five days, subjects consumed two energy drinks a day. On the seventh day researchers followed the same procedures as on the first day -- baseline measures for days one and seven were compared. After energy drink consumption, heart rates increased five to seven beats per minute, and systolic blood pressure increased by 10 mmHg. Though not raised to a degree that would be dangerous in healthy adults, researchers noted that this effect could be detrimental in people with health problems, including some who aren't aware of their increased risk.

Manufacturers of energy drinks are shrewdly pursuing the often sleep-deprived young adult marketplace. However, even though this group is considered relatively healthy and fit, they need to beware of health risks associated with excessive use of these products...

Exercise and sports

Caffeine is a diuretic, meaning it promotes the production of urine by the kidneys. Severe dehydration may result when you combine the effect of the caffeine in the drinks with the natural fluid loss that occurs with exercise and sweating. Because of this risk, the American College of Sports Medicine discourages high school athletes from drinking these stimulant-containing energy or sports drinks.
Energy drinks and alcohol. Some recent entries in the energy drink market contain alcohol. But whether purchased as an all-in-one product or with alcohol added separately, it's important to note that there are particular dangers to imbibing spiked energy drinks since they contain both stimulants and a depressant (the alcohol).

The stimulants mask the fatigue that normally serves to signal that you've had too much to drink and it's time to quit. They may also reduce perceived impairment, and lead inexperienced kids (adults too, for that matter) to believe that they are more sober than they actually are. That can lead to poor judgment... and sometimes serious accidents. The fact that these substances are combined can also affect how they are metabolized, leading to the potential for serious medical problems when done in excess, and/or by people who are vulnerable, including those on prescription or OTC medications.


Posing as "Natural."


To appeal to health-conscious consumers, many marketers pump their drinks full of vitamins, amino acids or herbs (such as carnitine, guarana, ginseng, bitter orange), and then slap a "natural" label on the bottles. Don't be duped by this ruse, since there's nothing wholesome about these beverages and anything "natural" added to them is in amounts too tiny to have any benefit whatsoever.


Bloated with sugar and calories. Like soft drinks, energy drinks can make you fat. Dr. Appleton warns that they are loaded with sugar -- equivalent to three or more teaspoons per can or bottle -- and empty calories. They might seem less "bad for you" than sodas... for example, one serving of green tea flavored Vitamin Water contains 50 calories and 13 grams of sugar, while one 12-ounce Coca Cola Classic has 140 calories and 39 grams of sugar. But a more careful reading of the Vitamin Water label reveals that one serving consists of eight ounces and the beverage comes in 20-ounce bottles... so a bottle contains 125 calories and 32.5 grams of sugar. Additionally energy drinks are often made from fructose -- crystalline fructose or high fructose corn syrup. Some experts believe these sweeteners are damaging and may do more harm to your liver and endocrine system than table sugar or glucose.

What is the best sports energy drink?

A cool, clear, clean glass of water. It's more refreshing and it's better for your health. Be sure to drink good water avoid plastic bottles if at all possible!
