There is no sodium or potassium in our Multi-Nutrient Formulas. While potassium is a beneficial nutrient, it is available only in very low dosages without a doctor's prescription. The amount is so small that many vitamin makers, including Stop Aging Now, don't believe that it is worth including. The form of potassium available for supplementation can be caustic to the stomach. Good food sources of potassium include most fruits, fruit juices, and vegetables. Since potassium is water-soluble, if you cook your vegetables in water, use the potassium-containing water for soups or for other cooking! You may also want to try wheat or barley grass juice. They are full of nutrients including vitamin K and potassium, and they have an alkalizing effect on the body.

Cinnamon is great for flavoring both sweet and savory dishes. It has a number of health benefits including helping to steady the blood sugar and helping to lower cholesterol levels. Cinnamon has even been noted to have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. It is possible to incur reversible liver damage with large doses of cinnamon. It may be better to use Cinnulin PF when using it at therapeutic dosage levels. Stop Aging Now's cinnamon extract product, Cinnulin PF, is a patented water-soluble form of cinnamon which does not contain coumarin, the compound which causes the damage. It is therefore safe even for people with liver disease. It is also easier to use Cinnulin PF capsules. You know exactly how much of the bark extract that you are getting with every dose.

Your question is a very important one in a market that has so many products and companies that can vary greatly in their philosophies and quality. It is highly important to know and understand the products that you put into your body. The raw materials used to make natural supplements and medications can come from all over the world. For example, if you have ever taken a vitamin C product (ascorbic acid), chances are very likely that if not the entire capsule itself, the raw material probably originated in China (as China has now captured about 90% of the world market of ascorbic acid). Raw material can come from all over the world. As well, each ingredient can vary in greatly in quality and purity level, no matter where it may come from. That is why it is critical to find a company that uses the proper methods to ensure the quality and purity of each single ingredient that goes into their product. As you noted, all of our products are manufactured in the USA. We adhere to both cGMP and USP standards, using rigorous Pharmaceutical Grade Standards in state-of-the-art FDA inspected facilities. Read more about our manufacturing processes here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/about_us/tour_our_lab We are very particular about the source of our ingredients. We strive to use as often as possible and necessary, prestigious brand-names from companies with excellent reputations, over less expensive generic ingredients. Such high-end ingredients tend to be supported by tests proving their effectiveness and safety. No matter the source of the ingredient, all of the raw material batches that come in to our manufacturing plant go through immediate inspection for purity and quality before being sent to our lab for further testing and evaluation. They are only used in our formulas if they can stand up to our high standards. Please be sure to check out more information about our company on our web page here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/about_us

As you know, it s very important that gastric bypass patients work closely with their doctors and dieticians to help ensure that they are getting the proper nutrients. With this type of surgery, there is some risk of nutrient deficiencies due to the smaller stomach size. Also, Gastric bypass surgery “bypasses” the section of small bowel in which most vitamins are digested and absorbed. It is usually advised that gastric bypass patients use either a chewable or liquid vitamin after the procedure. It is best to try to talk to your physician to see if you can now tolerate a higher potency vitamin, since it has been over three years since the surgery. Stop Aging Now’s Multi-Nutrient Formulas have not been evaluated for use with gastric bypass patients. In the mean time, be sure that all food that you consume is nutritionally dense food. Also, be sure to ask your doctor/dietician about vitamin B12, as this nutrient in particular tends to be low in gastric bypass patients.

You may want to try switching to tablets. Our tablets go through dissolution and agitation testing to ensure that they will dissolve in the digestive tract. Tablets are a bit slower absorbing that capsules, and many people with sensitive stomachs may benefit from this. Capsules are a little more immediately releasing, which at high potencies may have a repeating effect on certain individuals. You could also try to take the tablets just before you eat your food, this may also help.

All of our Multi-Nutrient Formulas contain 1,000 IU of vitamin D3. At this time, we do not have vitamin D by itself. We are going to be carrying a number of new supplements in the upcoming month, one of which will be vitamin D.

The Acai Berry in the Multi-Nutrient GOLD is an an extract form gaurenteed to supply 10% in phenolic compounds. Phenolic acids are plant metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom. Recent interest in phenolic acids stems from their potential protective role, through ingestion of fruits and vegetables, against oxidative damage diseases (coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancers). Phenolic compounds are essential for the growth and reproduction of plants, and are produced as a response for defending injured plants against pathogens. The importance of antioxidant activities of phenolic compounds and their possible usage in processed foods as a natural antioxidant have reached a new high in recent years.

I have good news! The Multi-Nutrient Formula Plus with Eye Support also contains 120 mg of Ginkgo Biloba, along with the extra lutein and zeaxanthin for eye health. You may also want to consider trying our Multi-Nutrient Formula PLUS with Eye Support PowerPak (http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/detail/PPMNFE). It contains, along with the Multi-Nutrient Formula with Eye Support, our High Antioxidant Green Tea Extract, which provides the same amount of antioxidants as three cups of green tea without the caffeine in one capsule. It also includes our Omega-T Fish Oil which is helpful for many health concerns, including brain and eye health.

The amount of calcium in our Multi-Nutrient formulas is enough for most individuals that do not have any specific health concerns and eat a diet rich in calcium. Someone with osteoporosis is usually advised to have between 1,200- and 1,500 mg of supplemental calcium daily. For those individuals, it is best to add some additional calcium to their regimen, as well as extra magnesium. Stop Aging Now plans to offer a number of additional products in the upcoming month, including calcium and magnesium products. Be sure to keep an eye out for our new products.

We will actually be offering arginine, along with a number of other new products to our line this summer, in the next month or so. Arginine is an amino acid that has numerous functions in the body. It plays an important role in wound healing, cardiovascular and immune function, along with many other possible benefits. It also aids the body to rid itself of ammonia (a waste product), is used to make compounds in the body such creatine, L-glutamate, and L-proline, and can be converted to glucose and glycogen if needed.

You may want to look at one of our Anti-aging PowerPak plans, particularly The Multi Nutrient Formula GOLD PowerPak (You can read more about it here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/detail/PPMNG). The Gold Formula provides you with a solid nutritional foundation to help prevent and repair any possible nutritional deficiencies. The ginkgo biloba in the formula is added to help support brain and circulatory health. It also contains the highest amount of antioxidants out of all of our Multi-Nutrient Formulas that may help further protect your body from free radical damage. The PowerPak plan also provides you with Omega-T fish oil, which has a number of health benefits, including to help support memory and brain health. As well, it contains our High Antioxidant green tea extract that is rich in the polyphenols found in green tea. One capsule provides you with the same amount of antioxidants found in three cups of green tea. For fatigue, it is best to try to keep a diet including plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and lots of water. Try to keep active, getting regular exercise. It is very important to try to keep a balanced diet for keeping balanced energy. Too much caffeine and sugary food can cause you to have quick bursts of energy, but consequently can cause you to crash. It is better to try to balance your energy through proper nutrition, exercise, and trying to get regular sleep.

All of our Multi-Nutrient Formulas are free of gluten. All of our Multi-Nutrient Formulas are free of soy except the Multi-Nutrient Formula with Menopause Support (which contains soy isoflavones).

Your husband may want to try the Anti-aging Multi Nutrient PLUS with Cholesterol Support PowerPak. http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/detail/PPMNFC These supplements work together to provide excellent foundational support. The Multi-Nutrient Formula w/Cholesterol Support has added nutrients to support healthy cardiovascular function. The Omega-T fish oil has broad spectrum health benefits, but primarily for you husband, it helps to support healthy cholesterol levels. The green tea extract primarily provides potent polyphenol antioxidants, but there have been implications that show that it may help to support healthy cholesterol levels. For blood pressure, you should check out some of our articles on the subject found here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/search?frm_search=blood+pressure&Submit.x=0&Submit.y=0&Submit=Submit One nutrient that is helpful for regulating blood pressure is magnesium. We do not yet sell magnesium by itself. However in the next month or two, we are going to be offering a number of new products.

CInnulin PF may be easier for your stomach to tolerate, as it goes through a proprietary extraction process that helps filter out toxins found in whole cinnamon. It is the most studied cinnamon extract in the world. In studies it has shown to be well tolerated by most individuals.

The best time to take our Multi-Nutrient Formula is with meals. We suggest taking three capsules/tablets with your morning meal, and three capsules/tablets with your evening meal, totaling 6 a day. It would also be alright to take 2 with each of your three meals a day. It is generally best to take multivitamin supplements with meals to avoid any possible stomach discomfort. As well, some of the nutrients are best absorbed when taken with a meal.

It is perfectly fine to chew the Omega-T fish oil capsules. It tastes like fish, but it is not a strong fishy taste.

We recommend SynergySlim along with healthy diet and exercise as part of a healthy way to lose weight. The Medifast program seems to be something that would pair well with SynergySlim. Just be sure that you are getting enough vegetables in your diet. Tonalin CLA is a great addition to the ingredients in SynergySlim. It provides additional support in helping to neutralize and burn fat. It also helps to retain lean muscle mass while losing fat.

I think that you should consider trying our popular weight loss product Synergy Slim. Let me explain to you why SynergySlim is different than most products on the market. SynergySlim is a safe, all natural weight loss aid. Unlike many other dieting products, SynergySlim is stimulant-free and will not cause your heart to race or your blood pressure to rise. SynergySlim was formulated based on a Georgetown University study by Dr. Harry Preuss. All of the ingredients in SynergySlim have been used for years singly as weight loss aids. This is the first time that they have been combined into one program. The combined effect offers ingredients that work synergistically to help reduce binge eating, help burn more calories, store less fat in the body, absorb less carbs, and keep the weight off. It is different than most diet pills in that it attacks weight loss in four different ways. It reduces fat, reduces carb absorption, burns fat, and helps to control the appetite. It is not a quick fix, overnight pill. It addresses weight loss in a controlled manner, which along with diet and exercise will help you achieve your results faster, leaving you more likely to retain you results. Weight gain does not occur overnight, and it is not healthy or sustainable to lose it overnight. The goal of SynergySlim is to help end yo-yo dieting, and help you turn the corner to a healthy lifestyle. SynergySlim also helps you to retain muscle. Often while dieting, and food intake is reduced, a lot of muscle weight is lost in the process. Muscle weighs more than fat per volume, and in fact lean muscle helps to burn more calories throughout the day. It is important to retain muscle while on a weight loss program and SynergySlim helps to address this common weight loss issue. Since SynergySlim has no known contraindications, it will probably be a good choice for you. You may want to check with your doctor to ensure that it will be alright with the specific medications that you are on. To order SynergySlim, click here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/category/Weight+Control

Our Multi Nutrient Formulas include a 800 mcg/day dosage of folic acid. The decision to set the dosage at this level was based on the existing body of clinical research which demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of this level of folic acid supplementation in regulating the cell-damaging effects of the stress hormone, homocysteine, in the body. We are, of course, following the latest research on folic acid and its potential role in the proliferation of cancerous cells. We make changes to our formulations when we feel that a significant amount of evidence has emerged which contradicts the existing body of scientific knowledge to warrant making the changes.

The recommended dosage for the Multi Nutrient Formula Plus Prostate Support is set at 6 tablets a day, three with your morning meal and three with your evening meal. Click here to order the Multi-Nutrient Formula PLUS Prostate Support: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/detail/MNFP

Our Omega-T Fish oil product comes from fresh Norwegian Salmon. It is molecularly distilled to be pure. It is then independently tested to be free from contaminants, such as mercury, and it is fortified with vitamin E and CoQ10 for maximum freshness, absorbability, and potency. We also suggest that you try the freshness test with any fish oil that you choose. Fish oil capsules should taste good! A sure test is to bite into a fish oil capsule; you can tell in an instant whether the fish oil is fresh and without the slightly rancid taste of other fish oil capsules. Just as you would not eat slightly off-odor or off-tasting fish, you should not take off-tasting fish oil capsules.

As you have read, SynergySlim is a safe, non-stimulant weight loss supplement. There are no known contraindications with SynergySlim, so it should be ok to take it at your normal times. You may want to check with your pharmacist to make sure that it will be ok with your particular medications.

Our all of our Multi-Nutrient Formulas, including the Plus contain 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). This amount of vitamin D3 is obtained by taking the suggested serving size of 6 a day (3 capsules/tablets, twice a day with meals). At this time, we do not currently offer a one or two pill dose multi-vitamin. Click here to order Multi-Nutrient Formula: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/detail/MNR

The SynergySlim program is best taken right before a meal or immediately after. It is most effective when taking it with a meal. It may be a bit better to take it about 15 minutes before your meal, as it can prepare your body for the way that it will handle the food that you are about to eat. As long as you take SynergySlim close to or when you are eating your meal, it is fine. Click here to order SynergySlim: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/category/Weight+Control

It sounds like your friend is having trouble digesting the fat in the fish oil. Tell her to try taking the supplement just before eating and she can try following her meal with a good digestive enzyme. Be sure that the digestive enzyme contains Lipase. This is an enzyme that helps to break down fats. While I cannot promise that our fish oil won’t repeat on you, as that really lies more on an individual’s digestive system, I can promise a very pure, high quality Norwegian Salmon oil, which is extremely high in DHA and EPA. The fish oil that we make is very fresh and pure, and not rancid with a foul fishy taste and smell like many other brands available. One way to test your product’s freshness is to actually bite into the capsule and taste it for its freshness. It should have a light fish taste that is not foul and a rancid, overpowering fishy taste. Click here to order Omega-T Fish Oil: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/detail/OMT

The only reports of side effects we have gotten from customers using SynergySlim have been of minimal bloating and discomfort, lasting for just the first few days or weeks of use. This occurs in some people as their systems adjust to some of the fat and carb neutralizing ingredients. The ingredients in SynergySlim are all natural and non-stimulant, so you will not experience anything extreme, if anything at all, in the way of discomfort, and you will not feel nervous or jittery.

We feel that for most people, capsules and tablets are as well absorbed as liquids. While liquids tend to be quicker dissolving, capsules and especially tablets provide more of a sustained release. We feel that this is better for the absorption of a multi-vitamin, and it is more convenient for most people. All of our supplements go through rigorous dissolution tested to ensure absorption. Realizing that some people just prefer taking a liquid and not swallowing pills, we may decide to add high quality liquid supplements to our line in the future. In the mean time, if you would like more information about our Multi-Nutrient Formulas click here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/category/Multi-Vitamins

As of now, our products are only available in capsule or tablet form, except for our chewable CoQ-10 100mg product.

It is true that we do not include potassium in our Multi Nutrient Formulas. Potassium is available only in very low dosages without a doctor's prescription. The amount is so small that many vitamin makers, including Stop Aging Now, don't believe that it is worth including. The form of potassium available for supplementation can be caustic to the stomach. Good food sources of potassium include most fruits, fruit juices, and vegetables.

I am not sure if the vitamins are still good to take. You would need to look for the expiration date which is located to the right of the supplement facts label.

At this time we do not have a liquid vitamin.

The food colorings were originally added to some of our Multi Nutrient Formulas because we wanted to make them easy to identify outside of the bottle. The amounts of coloring added to our products are minute, and are carefully regulated by federal authorities to ensure that our supplements are absolutely safe to consume and accurately labeled. Even though the dyes that are used in our products have proven to be safe for human consumption, we realize that a lot of people are just uncomfortable with the idea of taking anything with food coloring. We are planning to discontinue the usage of artificial colorants in the near future for the production of our Multi Nutrient Formulas and are looking into natural dyes to replace them. In the mean time, please be assured that at this time all of our supplements are manufactured according to strict government standards and are safe to use.

Calcium citrate is better absorbed when it is taken alone, without food. However, we recommend that our multi-nutrient be taken with a meal, and research shows there is little difference in calcium absorption among the different forms of calcium when a supplement is taken with food. This is because the stomach acid generated during a meal increases calcium absorption to its maximum, regardless of the form of calcium.

The RDA is the guidelines were set by the government in 1941. The Research over the last few decades shows that the RDAs are set too low, and have little if any place in modern life. The RDAs are considered by a lot to actually represent the level of nutrients needed to prevent deficiency diseases and maintain normal nutrition. It is true that some nutrients are passed through the body if taken in access. That is why we advise taking the product in separate doses.

While iron is an essential nutrient, it can be toxic if taken in excess. As we get older, our need for iron goes down. In general, men do not need to take iron supplements. We decided that it is best to leave it out of the formula as a lot of people get adequate amounts of iron from their diet, and to limit the possibility of having toxic levels. If by chance a person is tested for having low iron counts, it is better that they add this additionally to their program since most people do not need to take it.

Our basic Multi-Nutrient Formula works well with most people. We do offer a wide range of Multi-Nutrient Formulas based on individual health concerns. Please feel free to call one of our staff Nutrition Experts. They can help further assist you to find the right formula to fit your needs. We are glad to hear that you enjoy SynergySlim.

We have received a lot of positive feedback from our customers, of which appetite control seems to be the main notice while taking the product. The weight loss from this product is slower compared to a lot of the diet aids on the market that contain stimulants, especially on the scale because muscle weighs more than fat. SynergySlim is one of the few products that help to retain muscle. Most people see measurable results within the third month of consistently taking the product. You probably should try to take it for a bit longer. As well, your positive diet changes will help the product work better and quicker for you.

It is hard to suggest which supplements to take away from that list, as they all serve separate functions. If you as well cannot think of one to leave out when you travel, I would suggest getting a good pill organizer to help you stay organized and to keep your supplements more contained. We offer a 7-Day Jumbo AM/PM pill box. You may need to get two to keep you organized during your two week travels.

Some in the ingredients in SynergySlim act as temporary starch and fat neutralizers, allowing some of the dietary starch and fat to pass through the body undigested, like fiber would. In some cases, some people notice initial digestive upset while adjusting to the new ingredients. It sounds like you and your husband have been having a lot of trouble adjusting. If you are feeling that you are both having trouble and are not comfortable allowing your body time to adjust to the new ingredients, you can always return the products. We have a 90-day any reason return policy.

You may be having problems digesting the fats in the oils. Be certain to try these items with food, and consider taking a digestive enzyme to help with the breakdown of these nutrients. Adding the digestive enzyme Lipase may be useful. It helps to digest fats in our systems.

There is nothing within these products that should raise the blood pressure as there are no stimulants in these products. Also, the green tea has been decaffeinated. There should not be any problem with what you are taking, however, it is always best to consult with your doctor about everything you are taking while under their care.

Fish oil is a great addition to most daily regimens. There should be no problem with taking them along with these nutrients. Fish oil is actually a wonderful supplement to take for skin health as well. Be sure to drink a lot of pure water, eat a lot of fresh vegetables, get moderate exercise, and limit you sugar and salt intake. Healthy lifestyle is your best bet to help protect your skin from aging.

While our Multi-Nutrient Formulas are not designed to help with hair loss specifically, it may address nutritional deficiencies that could cause poor hair growth. The Multi-Nutrient Formula with Menopause Support could possibly help with hormonal issues that can cause hair loss. Again, it was not designed for this reason.

The amount of vitamin E within our Multi-Nutrient Formula and the Omega-T Fish oil combined is well within what is considered to be safe for daily consumption.

Vitamin D3 is the best supplement to take for absorption. It has shown to be much more effective than Vitamin D2 because it is the same type of vitamin D that is produced by our own bodies. Vitamin D2 is derived from plant or fungal sources and has shown not to be as effective.

SynergySlim is a safe, all natural weight loss aid. Unlike many other dieting products, SynergySlim is stimulant-free and will not cause your heart to race or your blood pressure to rise. SynergySlim was formulated based on a Georgetown University study by Dr. Harry Preuss. All of the ingredients in SynergySlim have been used for years singly as weight loss aids. This is the first time that they have been combined into one program. The combined effect offers ingredients that work synergistically to help reduce binge eating, help burn more calories, store less fat in the body, absorb less carbs, and keep the weight off. It is different than most diet pills in that it attacks weight loss in four different ways. It reduces fat, reduces carb absorption, burns fat, and helps to control the appetite. It is not a quick fix, overnight pill. It addresses weight loss in a controlled manner, which along with diet and exercise will help you achieve your results faster, leaving you more likely to retain you results. Weight gain does not occur overnight, and it is not healthy or sustainable to lose it overnight. The goal of SynergySlim is to help end yo-yo dieting, and help you turn the corner to a healthy lifestyle. SynergySlim also helps you to retain muscle. Often while dieting, and food intake is reduced, a lot of muscle weight is lost in the process. Muscle weighs more than fat per volume, and in fact lean muscle helps to burn more calories throughout the day. It is important to retain muscle while on a weight loss program and SynergySlim helps to address this common weight loss issue.

There have been studies suggesting that Green Tea has anti-inflammatory properties (Cox 2 inhibitors). It may be worth a try for arthritis pain. So many studies have also shown how powerful of an antioxidant it is. That alone is good reason to use it. You may also want to consider trying our Multi Nutrient Formula Plus Joint Support. It contains the same basic nutritional support as the rest of our Multi Nutrients, along with Glucosamine to help rebuild joints, and Paractin. Paractin is a standardized extract from the leaf of the herb andrographis. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, and it has thousands of years of history of use in Asian cultures for fighting inflammation.

It is best to consult your doctor while under their care before changing your program. You may want to consider trying natural methods such as Stop Aging Now Plus Cholesterol Support, with dieting and exercise along with or in place of a drug. It is important to monitor your Cholesterol levels closely if you decide to take both to make sure that your Cholesterol levels do not drop too low, which can also be dangerous. If you try the natural methods alone, be certain to check your levels to see if lowering your Cholesterol is possible for you without the use of drugs. There are many natural methods of reducing Cholesterol. Fish oil has also been shown to have blood thinning properties. As well, a high fiber, low glycemic diet has also been shown to be useful in treating and preventing many disorders, including high Cholesterol.

As the popularity of fish oil rises, so does the amount of products on the market. It is important to be able to distinguish the best product available. One of the main concerns about fish oil is its purity. It is important to make sure that the product you are buying is tested to be pure and of the highest grade available. One of the main concerns with fish products is the likelihood of mercury and other heavy metal contaminants. It is vital that one chooses a product that is pure. Also, the product labeling of fish oil can be a little confusing, as there are a number of things that should be listed, and one should look for. First, it is important to look at the serving size, and whether or not the serving is one, two or more pills. One should then look at the break down. One serving of Stop Aging Now Omega-T Formula contains 1400mg of fish oil. Of that, 840mg are the omega-3 fatty acids that are the most important constituents of fish oil. Of that 840mg, it contains EPA 420mg and DHA 280mg. Fish oil is one of the few sources that contain these types of fatty acids. We feel that the amount contained within our Omega-T Formula is the optimal amount for most people. Some people may need to take a little more or less depending on their specific needs, but for most this is the optimal amount.

SynergySlim is an all-natural, stimulant free weight loss product. It has no known contraindications, with a small possibility for digestive upset while initially starting the program. This does not happen with all people, and it usually is a mild occurrence that happens as your body is adjusting to some of the carbohydrate and fat blocking ingredients. If you do experience this issue, and you feel comfortable trying this, you can lower your dosage for a few days to allow your body time to adjust to the product. Then increase your dosage slowly to the full amount if you feel that your body has adjusted well.

You should consider trying our Multi Nutrient Formula with Cholesterol Support PowerPak. This product contains four extra ingredients that work together with the rest of the formula to help support a healthy cholesterol level. As well, it contains our Omega-T fish oil, which has been shown to promote heart health, mainly by reducing cholesterol, but also has blood pressure lowering properties. It also includes a bottle of our Green Tea Extract which is caffeine free, so it will not raise your blood pressure. It is high in antioxidants, and has many positive effects on overall health. You may also want to consider taking CoQ10. It has been shown to improve heart function and to lower blood pressure. As well, calcium and magnesium deficiencies have been linked to hypertension. You may want to consider taking a bit extra in addition to your Multi Nutrient Formula, totaling up to about 1,500mg of calcium, and about 1,000mg of magnesium. Garlic is also excellent for heart health. It helps to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. To order, click here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/category/CoEnzyme+Q10 As you know, diet and exercise is key. Eating a lot of fresh vegetables is extremely helpful, especially celery. It has been shown to help lower blood pressure.

All of our Multi Nutrient Formulas contain 800mg of calcium, and 350mg of magnesium. This is a good general amount for most individuals to take, especially if they eat a balanced diet that contains these nutrients. One could still benefit from taking additional supplements of these nutrients, keep the calcium/magnesium ratio to about 2:1 respectively, depending on your individual needs. While the amount in our Multi Nutrient Formula is a great general amount, especially for being contained within a multi-vitamin, we do realize that many people do want to take more. In the future, we are looking to add more single nutrient products to our line. To order one of our Multi Nutrient formulas, click here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/category/Multi-Vitamins

Minute amounts of color have been added to the SynergySlim capsules in order to provide a unique identity to the product. The food color additives that we use are carefully regulated by federal authorities to ensure that our supplements are absolutely safe to consume and accurately labeled. Stop Aging Now is currently looking into natural coloring agents but please be assured that at this time all of our supplements are manufactured according to strict government standards and are safe to use.

Stop Aging Now’s Omega-T Fish Oil supplement provides 840mg of Omega 3 fatty acids. This is good amount for most individuals to take. Flax seed oil provides about 6g of Omega-3 seed oil per tablespoon, as ALA (alpha-linoleic acid). Flax seed oil also contains Omega-6, and 9. Fish oil provides Omega-3 as DHA (docosahexaenic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Many experts advise taking both fish and flax oil supplements.

All of the ingredients that are used in SynergySlim are not new to the natural supplement industry. They have been used for years separately to help with weight loss. This is the first supplement to combine these ingredients based off of a study done by Dr. Harry Preuss of Georgetown University. This is a link to specific ingredients that were studied: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2007-02/rhb-tnf022607.php http://www.stopagingnow.com/news/special_reports/3426?search=Dr.%2BPreuss http://www.stopagingnow.com/news/news_flashes/3621?search=Dr.+Preuss You may also want to consider reading “The Natural Fat Loss Pharmacy” written by Dr. Preuss. In this book, all of the ingredients in SynergySlim are described in detail. Click here to purchase the book: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/detail/NBOOK6

As of now, our products are only available in capsule or tablet form, except for our chewable CoQ-10 100mg product. You could try a pill cuter to cut the tablet in half, making them smaller and easier to swallow.

It is best to take SynergySlim as recommended, not exceeding the dosage at one time. This is what the research has been done on. As well, if possible, you should try to eat three meals a day. Eating smaller, more frequent meals helps to rev up the metabolism. Also, one tends to eat more, and not eat the right foods, when you go too long without eating. If you have to skip a meal, then I would skip the dose for that meal.

SynergySlim and the Multi Nutrient Formulas will have some blood thinning effects being that they include ingredients such as vitamin E, curcumin, and green tea. Most multi vitamins will have somewhat of a blood thinning effect due to the nature of some herbs and vitamins, as well as some food substances. It is definitely a good idea to stop all unprescribed supplements and other over the counter drugs two weeks before undergoing surgery.

I would recommend taking a multivitamin specifically formulated for prenatal nutrition. We do not currently sell a prenatal multi.

Red yeast rice may effectively lower cholesterol for some people, however it may cause side effects similar to those of statin drugs. The ingredients in our Cholesterol Support formula may be just as effective, or more effective for some people and are less likely to cause side effects. It is difficult to predict how an individual will respond to a supplement because this is determined by a variety of lifestyle and physical constitution factors.

The only recent change to the Multi Nutrient Formula was an increase in the amount of vitamin D in the formula from 600 IU to 1000. This was done on the basis of new recommendations suggesting that the RDA of 400 IU is far too low for most Americans. The dosages of the ingredients in the formula were carefully calibrated and reviewed by our advisory board. These dosages are what we feel are optimal for anti-aging benefits as suggested by the larger body of clinical evidence. Of course, all science, including that of human nutrition is incremental, and we continually follow the research as if emerges.

While the ingredients in SynergySlim are not known to have any particular adverse effects relating to the kidney, I would definitely recommend consulting with you doctor before you begin taking it. Since your situation is sort of unique, it is difficult to say how a supplement might affect you.

There are no known drug interactions for any of the ingredients in SynergySlim, however I would recommend keeping your doctor informed of this and any other supplements you are taking.

Our Multi Nutrient Formula GOLD, formulated to provide maximum antioxidant protection, contains acai berry extract, as well as resveratrol, quercetin and an extra 50 mg of alpha lipoic acid, on top of all of the ingredients in the PLUS formula.

Goji berries are a powerful high-antioxidant superfood, but should not necessarily be considered a nutritional supplement. Make sure that the juice is made from genuine gojis, as wolfberries, which are often sold as goji berries may be less nutrient-dense and contain pollutants. I personally prefer to incorporate whole goji berries into smoothies and trail mixes.

I would recommend taking a B vitamin complex. Deficiencies of some B vitamins, and in particular, biotin, have been linked with eczema and other skin disorders. Essential fatty acids, especially omega-3s, are also an important consideration. I would recommend a fish oil supplement. Flax and borage oil may also be helpful. To order our Multi Nutrient Formula, which all contain B vitamin complex, click here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/category/Multi-Vitamins To order our Omega-T Fish Oil, click here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/detail/OMT

There are currently no known long-term effects of contrast dyes. It is good that you are taking the GOLD formula because the high levels of antioxidants it contains may offer some protection from the damaging effects of the radiat
