like rickets are common only in third world countries.
Unfortunately the RDA’s are not a good guide for consumers who want to use nutritional supplements to support optimal health and prevent disease. That’s because RDA’s were meant to be bare minimums, not optimal dosages. And while nutritional science has made stunning progress in the last 60 years, there is no consensus yet about optimal dosages for multivitamins or multi-minerals.
A good example is the new information surfacing about vitamin D. Not only is it important for calcium absorption, it also appears to help in weight loss, strengthen bone, and protect against cancer and depression. Our bodies seem designed for large amounts of vitamin D, as we create 20,000 IU of vitamin D in just 20 minutes of sun exposure. Yet the RDA for vitamin D is only one-tenth of that — 200 IU for a woman age 31–50.
What we do know today is that significantly higher doses of vitamins and minerals are needed for optimal health than are recommended in the RDA’s. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, for example, established therapeutic dosages many times higher than the RDA’s. What’s needed is long-term study of the effects of different dosages, plus a better understanding of how nutritional supplements might be personalized to each individual’s needs. In the meantime, our approach is to recommend a conservative but therapeutic dose based on the latest nutritional science.
The Institute of Medicine, which advises the FDA, has undertaken a complete revision of RDA’s based on the latest findings. These new Daily Reference Intakes (DRI’s) will be based on RDA’s but reflect our changing need for nutrients as we age and provide for a broader range of dosages. I hope it will rectify some of the larger gaps left in our nutrition by the current guidelines. It will use updated RDA’s as minimums and over time establish upper limits on what is recommended. Of course, that process will take many years.
So what is the best multivitamin?
We have strong views about the qualities of the best multivitamin for women. Here is how we would describe the perfect formulation:
Because women need a nutritional supplement they can trust, we decided to provide one ourselves. Called Essential Nutrients, it is an exceptionally good foundation for all women, and it has all the qualities outlined above. We have visited the manufacturer, talked with their scientists and reviewed their processes and controls. We take the product ourselves.
There are only a few companies in America capable of producing a nutritional supplement of this quality, but I don’t want you to think we claim to have the only one. You may find another multivitamin that suits you as well or better. Just be sure the nutritional supplement you choose has the qualities listed above.
In short, we don’t care which multivitamin you take, as long as it’s a good one and it works for you. You will be amazed at the difference it can make. Patient after patient — even the most skeptical — cannot say enough about how good the Essential Nutrients make them feel. And that is what abundant nutrition is all about — feeling fit, energized, and well.
At Women to Women, we don’t think it is enough to live longer. We want you to live well and enjoy every minute in the best of health. We know this can be possible with the help of pharmaceutical-grade vitamins — and we know of no case in which anyone has been harmed by our multivitamin. So really, the only thing we all have to lose by not following this advice is our health — and who can afford that?
The Personal Program promotes natural hormonal balance with nutritional supplements, our exclusive endocrine support formula, dietary and lifestyle guidance, and optional phone consultations with our Nurse–Educators. It is a convenient, at-home version of what we recommend to all our patients at the clinic.
