The fierce rivalry these days in the vitamin supplement business is a war between retailers who struggle to differentiate themselves through style rather than substance. Mainstream brand name vitamin supplement companies usually assert that their products are vastly superior to their competition, with superior ingredients used to manufacture their products.
But in reality, these mainstream vitamin supplement companies all purchase their essential ingredients from a core group of wholesale sources that operate behind the scenes and are generally unknown to the public. So while there may be hundreds of vitamin and supplement companies, there is really a relatively small number of primary sources manufacturing the critical nutritional ingredients. In short, most vitamin and supplement companies purchase from the same source. They amount to the same product in different packaging.
This is common in the retail industry. General Motors, the once great American car company, has subdivisions like Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac, and used to have Oldsmobile (not your parents Oldsmobile). Many people who drive Chevys don’t know that the guy driving the Cadillac next to them is driving a car made by the same company. These private label manufacturing companies often supply the packaging and [...]
Image via Wikipedia What is Anti Aging & Longevity?
If you read through books, journals, articles and surf the Internet, you will soon notice that it is very difficult to find a satisfactory definition of aging. It is easy to enumerate the symptoms of aging, which most writers fall back on doing. But what aging is exactly seems to be somewhat elusive.
We are less concerned with what aging is, and more concerned with how we can slow the process. However, here is a brief overview of aging.
We now know that part of the reason we age is because our genes are preprogrammed in such a way that prohibits our cells from regenerating indefinitely. That is, there is a mechanism in our cells which sets a limit on how many times they can divide and regenerate new cells. Due to evolutionary factors, we are literally programmed by our genetic structure to die.
Fortunately, scientists are beginning to understand this process, and it is becoming quite clear that we will be able to eliminate this roadblock to immortality within the next 20 years or so.
Even if our cells were not preprogrammed to die, they would eventually [...]

It is important for people to know that the swine flu (H1N1) vaccines now being given to millions of Americans and people around the world have never been tested for safety. Even in Europe, where flu vaccines are rigorously tested, the European Medicines Agency is allowing pharmaceutical companies to bypass the testing process entirely. Why are they doing this?
Could it be that this flu hysteria is a public relations ploy drummed up by the pharmaceutical companies in order to make billions of dollars in profits vaccinating a scared, unsuspecting public?
Unfortunately, a naïve public is lining up to take the vaccine, in large part due to the propaganda of fear that is being spread by the World Health Organization, mainstream media and medical communities, and governments around the world.
It is important to remember that these mainstream medical communities, and increasingly governments themselves, are almost completely controlled by the international pharmaceutical companies, which have lobbies so rich and powerful that they can even control the United States government. These are the same pharmaceutical companies that are preparing to make billions of dollars in profits by vaccinating people against the swine flu, which many people are [...]

You may have heard that the vitamin D health supplement is one of the healthiest vitamins in the world, yet one of the most underutilized as most people do not have sufficient amounts in their body. That’s because the vitamin d health supplement is made when the skin comes into direct contact with sunlight, and we have all been taught by the sunscreen manufacturers that any and all sunlight is harmful to you, which is a lie.
“Vitamin D suppresses tumor growth and promotes differentiation in colorectal cancer in much the same ways it does in breast and prostate cancer. Normal colon cells have higher vitamin D receptor concentrations than abnormal or cancerous colon cells.” – James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure
It is vitally important for your health to get adequate levels of direct sunlight on your skin, an average of about 15 – 30 minutes a day without sunscreen. If you don’t you’ll have natually low levels of vitamin d in your body and your chances of getting cancer will skyrocket.
“The combination of vitamin D and vitamin A slows prostate cancer [...]
It is a well known fact nowadays that your build muscle diet is a critically important component of your total fitness regime that will determine the degree of your bodybuilding success.

Researchers of one study found that “CoQ10 is an anti-aging substance under normal physiological conditions.” This was under testing in mice using doses that would be the human equivalent of 500 mg to 1700 mg per day. Although their research suggested that 1700 mg per day may induce cognitive impairment, these researchers admitted that, “it would be fair to comment that the upper safe limit of 1200 mg per day recommended by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) is lower than the estimated 1700 mg per day that would lead to cognitive impairment in humans.” In other words, use in moderation like everything else.
Ubiquinone, another name for coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) comes from the word “ubiquitous,” meaning “everywhere” – a fitting name since it is found in and essential to every cell of the human body. Unfortunately, levels of CoQ10 produced by the body decrease with age by as much as 70%, and with the development of certain diseases such as Parkinson’s , asthma, and heart disease. Scientists have been studying CoQ10 for many years, and it is now one of the most popular health supplements in the world due to [...]

In news that is beginning to take many people by surprise, more and more research data is
Image via Wikipedia
confirming that many people suffer from serious nutritional deficiencies. We normally think of people with nutritional deficiencies as living in poor, Third World countries. But in fact, the problem is far more widespread and complicated than that. Ironically, many of the obese people living in America are suffering from one form of nutritional deficiency or another.
So a lack of good nutrition is not just the province of the poor anymore. Many wealthy people suffer from abysmal diets that put their health at great risk, because food companies care more about profit than health. Americans have one of the poorest diets in the developed world. But the good news is that diets in America are slowly changing for the better. More and more people are increasing their intake of fruits and vegetables and decreasing their intake of fried, fatty junk foods.
That is why more and more people are taking dietary health supplements everyday. Many diets are deficient in some nutrients, and we just can’t get all the nutrition that we really need from our diet alone. Vitamin and [...]
It’s a little humorous to find a new article by Natural News “Features writer”

S. L. Baker, writing in a Friday, September 11, 2009 column, where he seems to have made a new discovery in colloidal silver, a substance that has been around for over a century. WikiAnswers says,
“the process for making colloidal silver was discovered in the late 1800′s, shortly after Edison harnessed electricity, it immediately became a popular natural infection-fighting agent, used both topically on cuts, burns and infections, and internally as a remedy for a wide variety of infectious diseases. Numerous medical studies were conducted on colloidal silver throughout the early 1900′s, and the substance was used in hospitals and laboratories around the world, in a wide variety of forms, to help fight infection and disease. Studies documenting its phenomenal infection-fighting qualities were written up in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the British medical journal Lancet, and many others. Indeed, as far back as 1919, Alfred Searle, founder of the giant [...]
