As a result of the huge amount of dietary nutrition information which is so easily accessible these days, there has been an increasing rise in the use of anti aging health and vitamin nutritional supplements as a kind of self health-care to protect, support and guard against the destructive health and nutrition effects of twenty first century living.

Health orientated people are reasonably knowledgeable about the shocking statistics for degenerative disease, most notably cancer, diabetes and heart disease, all linked to nutritional intake. This has been a major factor for the increasing use worldwide of multi ingredient health supporting nutritional supplements.

Rather than substantially improving mainstream diets and eliminating unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking and excessive alcohol, most people are (still) looking for a magic bullet which makes it possible to keep eating nutrient poor, but great tasting, processed food (while expecting to avoid major disease and sickness!)

Instead than significantly improving our regular dietary intakes and adopting more healthy lifestyles, the majority of people are (still) looking for that magic pill which makes it possible to keep eating low nutrient, but great tasting, processed food (while expecting to avoid major disease and sickness!)

Unfortunately the amount of manipulated facts, straight-out dishonesty and beefed up product claims for health nutritional supplements is nothing short of scandalous. Careful wording and misleading studies / mis-leading statistics in sophisticated presentations, manipulate people into believing their need for a given company’s products is far greater than it really is.

A common belief appears to be that premium grade nutritional health supplements, from the gigantic, multi-national supplement companies, are all ‘identical in quality’ and represent the most powerful and efficious supplements available. This is simply not the case.

The huge supplement companies naturally possess the greatest marketing budgets giving them much greater access to resources for building (artificial) credibility and for ‘working’ their versions of the truth. While the majority of the scientific basis underlying their products is true, it is what they are holding back and not revealing which is the real problem for supplement users. These are facts exposing weaknesses in their product’s overall efficacy and highlighting extremely weak value for money.

I was employed in the nutritional supplement industry for a specialty supplement manufacturer and as a result I discovered what really goes on ‘behind the scenes’. In understanding the scientific basis behind nutritional supplements I know exactly what supplement companies don’t want you to know.

Ninety nine percent of anti aging nutritional health and vitamin supplements have major deficiencies in their formulas, stopping them from achieving, to any substantial extent, the health and lifestyle benefits promoted. These are facts which the companies have gone to great lengths over time to hide. The publics’ lack of extensive knowledge of nutritional science, allows the manufacturers of market leading supplement brands to greatly exaggerate their effectiveness.

99% of the multi ingredient health or vitamin supplements have weaknesses which absolutely block them from achieving, to any effective extent, their marketed health claims. These are facts which the companies have gone to great lengths over time to hide. The fact that supplement users do not have an in-depth understanding of nutritional science, allows the manufacturers of well known, premium grade supplement brands to grossly exaggerate their health benefits.

It’s important to understand that I am not referring to supermarket type multivitamin formulations here, but rather those marketed as premium /elite grade, multi nutrient nutritional health / vitamin supplements. High quality supplements with science-based formulas targeting all your organs and body systems, using a wide range of nutrients from ALL the various nutrient categories.

The average price range of these nutritional supplements is $35 - $45 . This is a major expense for the majority of supplement users especially considering that in order to receive the maximum health benefits you will need to continue using supplements on an on-going basis. So, it becomes financially critical to be able to dissect the fancy marketing claims to determine which nutritional supplements can achieve these key capabilities:

The average price range of these types of nutritional supplements is $35 - $45 - A major expense for the majority of consumers, considering that to receive maximum health benefits you will need to continue using supplements for the rest of your life. It therefore makes prudent financial sense to know how to dissect the fanciful marketing claims and determine once and for all exactly which nutritional supplements can achieve these essential capabilities:

A) Completely achieve their marketing claims

One of the easiest ways to reveal weaknesses in premium level health / vitamin nutritional supplement brands is simply to rip open their formula from the anti aging angle that they so strongly promote. They all promote anti aging benefits and in considering the realistic meaning of this over-used marketing term, what they are really implying is that their supplements will effectively slow down your aging (thereby reducing the conditions which lead to the onset of degenerative disease.

Now, from a legal point of view, all these leading supplements can be said to provide these health benefits, ‘to some degree’, but the sixty four million dollar question is: to what extent? This of course is the part the manufacturers play around with through their marketing spin and clever presentations!

From a legal standpoint these types of supplements can be said to provide their health claims (to some degree) BUT TO WHAT ACTUAL EXTENT? This of course is the part which the manufacturers manipulate and it is the most important issue for savvy supplement consumers.!

And that’s where the problem lies!

Therein lies the problem! There isn’t just one but rather four fundamental causes of aging and they are all critically interrelated!

So, now we come to the heart of the anti aging supplement claims:

With respect to this interrelationship, any nutritional supplement claiming substantial anti aging benefits must, without fail, address all four causes at the same time. Otherwise you will definitely fail in your anti aging efforts.

Here They Are:

Four Fundamental Causes Of Human Aging:

* Glycation

* Creation of Free Radicals

* Inflammation

Each is scientifically established as creating the pre-conditions for the onset of degenerative disease! Therefore, you can only be successful with your anti aging program if you address each one simultaneously on a continuing basis.

The complex task of normalizing premature aging requires a number of very specialized ingredients, some of which are rarely used due to their high cost as well as their need for protection while passing through the acidic environment of the stomach. To evaluate the efficacy of nutritional supplements with anti aging claims, we simply need to look at the names of all these special key ingredients and then look at the level of their inclusion in any supplement formula.

To gauge the true efficacy of multi ingredient nutritional health supplement formulas (those marketing themselves as premium supplements), we must firstly see the names of these specialized anti aging ingredients before checking a supplement formula to see to what extent they have been included (if at all!)

Unfortunately, the reality is that almost all leading health nutritional supplements have insufficient formulas which can take on just one of the primary causes of aging. That is the reduction of free radicals with antioxidants. This is the reason why they simply cannot meet their anti aging benefits claim to any real, let alone effective, degree. These are the basic facts!

‘YES’- there are (a few) supplements in the market which include ALL the specialized anti aging ingredients, and have an enteric coating, and offer exceptional value for money (costing no more than their failed counterparts.

It’s important that you read the super supplementspage as well because that’s where you’ll discover the names and explanations of all the specialized anti aging ingredients.

Good Health Always
