We get a lot of questions here at the office that somewhat sound like “what do you take doc?” and for the most part, this is about it for the docs that work at our office outside of something being wrong, but for the most part, we keep good diets, some average to excellent exercise habits, and don’t need much other than the product below.
Each Essential Nutrition Pack contains 30 individual packets which contain a disintegration-tested multi vitamin (1 tablet), concentrated EPA/DHA omega-3 fish oil (2 softgels), vitamin D3 – cholecalciferol (2 softgels) & magnesium from organic chelate sources (2 capsules). The Essential Nutrition Pack is a 1-month supply of supplements which provide a solid nutritional foundation for those of us living that busy lifestyle and our meals aren’t exactly super healthy!
Research continually supports the need to bolster most diets with nutritional supplements to promote health and prevent disease. The supplement combination contained in the Anabolic Labs Essential Nutrition Pack helps support the key biochemical mechanisms of an improved diet and nutritional status; inflammation reduction, antioxidant protection and cellular energy production. The best part about these packs are that they are easy to take, and individually packaged. Anabolic Labs dietary supplements are also of the highest quality. You can’t compare anything sold at a grocery store or big box retailer to the quality in these packs at a very affordable price.
The most important part of the Anabolic Labs Nutrition Pack is that they have 4 essential supplements, which most multi-vitamins DO NOT, or do not contain nearly enough of.
Multivitamin and Minerals – The modern diet is known to be deficient in numerous micronutrients. Supplementation with a multivitamin/mineral can help address many of these deficiencies. Low micronutrient intake may accelerate the aging process and promote the diseases of aging and other chronic diseases. Use of a multivitamin is thought by many authorities to be a wise preventive strategy in addition to a healthy diet. Iron should be taken only by those who have an iron deficiency.1
Vitamin D3 – We derive virtually no vitamin D from the diet, as we are supposed to convert vitamin D from the sun. Most Americans are chronically deficient in vitamin D. Sunscreen with an SPF of 8 reduces vitamin D production by 95%. Deficiency in this essential vitamin promotes a chronic inflammatory state and has been associated with many negative issues related to bone, cardiovascular, mental and immune system health. Vitamin D deficiency is also strongly related to the expression of pain.2
EPA/DHA from Fish Oil – Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) addresses the deficiency of omega-3’s in the modern diet and helps balance our ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. Adequate omega-3 intake helps to balance inflammatory activity and promote health. Adequate levels of omega-3 fatty acids help to promote joint and bone health, mental/emotional health, heart health, proper blood sugar regulation, nervous system health, and skin and eye health.3
Magnesium – Magnesium is chronically deficient in the modern diet, which promotes a chronic inflammatory state. Magnesium plays a role in over 300 bodily enzymatic reactions, which is why magnesium deficiencies are associated with very diverse clinical manifestations, even sudden death. Magnesium is critical for cardiovascular health, cellular energy production (ATP), neurological health, glucose metabolism, calcium transport, nerve signal conduction, and the maintenance of joint and bone health.4,5
If you have any questions or feel that possibly your levels of inflammation could be reduced and your diet improved, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Mark Kemenosh, Dr. Andrew Gross, Dr. Craig Evans, or Dr. Time Legath today.
