Page Contents: Virtually everyone reading this has heard of vitamin E. In fact, many of you are likely taking it as a supplement, either in a multivitamin or on its own. But did you know that supplementing with the most common form of vitamin E, alpha-tocopherol, doesn’t improve health over the long term—and, in fact, can actually increase the risk of cancer and heart disease?  The good news is that thanks to a breakthrough discovery by scientists about 20 years ago, we now know of another form of vitamin E—called tocotrienols—which has far more potent health benefits and does NOT carry any of the long-term risks of tocopherols. Read on to learn more about how tocotrienols can help you stay healthy, avoid disease, and live a long life! A...

They are still regularly consumed in many countries today and were even part of our diets in the U.S. and other industrialized countries until relatively recently.

You’ll discover that organ meats are, ounce for ounce, the most nutrient-dense foods we can eat, and I’ll show you how to incorporate these traditional superfoods into your diet—or supplement...

Page Contents: Over half of American adults and 70 percent of the elderly take a vitamin or supplement, and research analysts predict that the global market for supplements will climb to $300 billion by 2024. Multivitamins make up a significant chunk of this market.

But is this a good idea? Are multivitamins really necessary? If so, who would benefit? And what should you look for in a multi? Those are exactly the questions I’ll answer in this article. Why a healthy diet should always be the primary source of nutrients There’s an...
