1. Optimal Nutritional Supplementation

While nutritional supplements are certainly no substitute for a good, balanced diet, they are a sound helpmate for anti-aging programs. These supplements consist of vitamins, minerals, and herbs, all of which address and prevent some of the deterioration in cells that can increase the aging process. In the wellness equation, more supplements are not always "better", however. The best amount for each person depends upon age, sex, physical condition, and overall lifestyle.

When people read this last sentence, the first question they often ask is what about the Daily Value (DV) that appears on nearly every food label? The DV indicates the amount of vitamins and minerals needed to prevent common deficiency diseases. The DV value is set by the government based on an average person's needs. In this case average is defined as an adult under 60 years old who is in good health, has normal digestion, isn't overweight, leads a relatively stress-free life, has no medical problems, does not need any medication, and eats a good diet everyday of 2,000 calories per day. Needless to say, average isn't very average at all!

Half of all Americans past sixty years are deficient in Vitamin A, C, and E, even by the minimum standard DV. As we age our body runs out of steam and food cannot give us all the vitamins and minerals we need to slow down aging. Taking supplements is a reasonable and convenient way of providing you the necessary optimum level of nutrients not obtained otherwise. With this in mind, the eAnti-Aging System  includes supplements taken twice daily, in amounts that likely far exceed DV guidelines.
