Vitamin Workshop Nutshell

Vitamin Workshop Concepts in a Nutshell

Building and maintaining HEALTH is quite a challenge today and requires overcoming numerous roadblocks. Nutritional theories still need refining for many vitamin supplement health aspects. There are few worthwhile resources that offer proper guide routes. 

Here is the current reality. 

• Some vitamin forms and dosages have health benefits while other forms and dosages are suspect.
• The goal of supplement programs then is to optimize the valuable vitamin forms while reducing the questionable nutrient forms and dosages.
• There are numerous flaws in current nutritional facts based on faulty old theories.
• Scientists in the past thought they had factored out or negated these flaws but the science used was limited and incomplete. pages
• This results in the Public receiving faulty vitamin recommendations.
  
• Plus this also impacts the formulations of Multi-Vitamin products.
• Today, multi-vitamin formulas run the gambit from containing a few to numerous design flaws which could compromise health over time, and that represent major missed health building opportunities.
• It is a challenge to find the few current multi-vitamins with the least number of flaws that will suffice with additional missing vitamin family members added (usually for carotenoids, vitamins C and E, and proper vitamin K2 form).  
• Scientific vitamin research, while initially mostly positive, is now revealing some negative health results. ref
• This is leading to many Health Professionals questioning the value of vitamin supplements.

Is this the Beginning of the End for Vitamin Supplements?

• Since Life does not exist without vitamins, why the negative research results?
• This website author, after over 50 years of vitamin research, arrived at another possible deduction.
• THE NEGATIVE RESULTS ARE SIMPLY TO BE EXPECTED DUE TO FAULTY VITAMIN FORMS AND DOSAGES USED, PLUS THE ABSENCE OF VITALLY NEEDED SYNERGISTIC NUTRIENTS. pages
• Current Multi-Vitamins are incomplete with many faults and fail to harmonize and positively impact certain body function pathways. pages
• While some of these flaws are not quick acting, over time they may reduce immune response, modify intestinal flora, damage tissue and cell membrane integrity, impact pH levels, and interfere with nutrient absorption leading to favourable conditions for disease development. 

Enter the New Vitamin Reality

• New research testing the proper forms and dosages with related nutrients is finding positive results similar to the early observational studies. 
• Research is discovering that some of the related factors are necessary for the full action of the vitamin or vitamins under study.  Example: In Nature, Vitamin E is not just alpha tocopherol, but a family of 8 different relatives. Each vitamin E family member has a role to play that some of the others do not perform. pages
• Only a handful of current Multi-Vitamin Formulas are close to the new vitamin criteria and able to, with the addition of a few secondary products, limit the majority of potential adverse effects of multi-vitamin flaws.
• This website, while offering the background data for this new vitamin reality, sometimes in too much detail, also offers methods to improve Multi-Vitamin formulas until they are updated. pages

Some of the adverse effects from incorrect vitamin forms and dosages plus missing complementary nutrients are reaching critical mass. Under certain conditions, these vitamin forms and dosages could impact heart disease, cancer growth rate, elevate risk for diabetes, and jeopardize bone strength.

Here is a study showing an association between higher amounts of vitamin B6 and B12 leading to a 20%, up to 50% for some subjects, increase in hip fractures. ref The high amounts were only at or above 35 mg/day for B6 and 20 mcg/day for B12. This study followed almost 78,000 Nurses over 20 years. ref

FYI: The amounts of B vitamins finding adverse bone fractures in the above research noted that to get these levels required the intake of supplements. Since all multi-vitamins have flaws, it could very well be the increase in hip fractures were the result of some of the other flaws rather than just the two B vitamins mentioned. 

Here is a simply explanation for these results. ref Other studies have found benefits for bone for B12 with folic acid. So vitamin B6 might just be the one. The new vitamin criteria limits amounts for B6 of 3-6 mg and vitamin B12 of 3-10 mcg. with the low side preferred and only special circumstances for the higher amounts.

With proper guidance for a good diet, adequate body movement, positive happy thoughts, and effective supplement forms and dosages, the body gains the ability to reverse such unhealthy conditions.
