All-in-one vitamins
Twice Daily Essential Packets
This is the foundation product for all of my packages. It contains everything you need for good, basic nutritional supplementation, and is what I put my clients and friends on when they "just want to take one basic thing". The packets are great for people on the go. JJ Virgin gave this product to everyone doing the Dr. Phil Weight Loss Challenge, for good reason!
Four Pillars Daily Supplement
This is a really innovative approach to complete basic supplementation. The four pillars are multivitamins, fatty acids (fish oil, omega 3's), antioxidants, and probiotics. They've conveniently put everything in blister packs, so all you do is take one blister pack a day and you're set. None of this would mean anything unless the product was really good, and this one - by Pharmax - is terrific.
Mega Multivitamin Drink Mix
For those who prefer to get their vitamins from a drink, this is state of the art. Made by Integrative Therapeutics, a highly respected doctors brand, this mix contains everything you need in meaningful dosages, a wide range of antioxidants, minerals and amino acids, plus 7 grams of whey protein to boot.
Pycnogenol
Extensive research over 35 years substantiates the enormous health benefits of this natural herbal supplement. It’s a powerful antioxidant, natural anti-inflammatory and supports cardiovascular health. Works wonderfully with vitamins.
Vitamin D: Emulsi-D3
This liquid form of mycelized vitamin D is becoming increasingly popular for its cost effectiveness and superior absorbtion. Each drop contains 2000 IUs and there are 900 servings per bottle.
Multiple Vitamin
Acai Ultra
Crayhon Research does it again with the best Acai product on the market. A superfood extract combined with vitamins and minerals that make it work even better.
PureFood Nutrients
For those who like their multiple vitamin supplement from real food sources only- a great hypo-allergenic product with no coatings, bindings, fillers, dairy, wheat, yeast, gluten, corn, sugar or soy.

Twice Daily Multiple Vitamin
Designs for Health's two a day multivitamin was designed to provide nutrients that are difficult to obtain in the typical daily diet, such as 400 IU of Vitamin E, 200 mcg of selenium, 400 mcg of chromium, 500 mg Vitamin C and 800 mcg folic acid. Calcium and magnesium are purposely left out due to the fact that they should be taken separately to provide meaningful doses.
Minerals
Complete Mineral Complex
A terrific, high-quality mineral supplement that includes all the basics, including potassium and selenium.
Zinc Plus
The best zinc supplement I know of. Contains B6, Taurine and other ingredients to make it work better. Each capsule contains 30mg of this critical nutrient for both the immune system and male health.
Cal Mag
Cal-6+Mag
Calcium and magnesium work together for healthy nerve and muscle function. They are often used together as a nighttime supplement for better sleep. They help calm the nerves and muscles.
Digestive Enzymes
DuoZyme
Almost everyone can benefit from the power of digestive enzymes. Many people - particularly advocates of raw food - point out that there is a great energy cost to the body in having to produce so many enzymes which are typically lacking in our food. Others believe that a reduced store of enzymes is a major factor in aging and in degenerative diseases. Finally, from a purely scientific point of view, most of us become less efficient at manufacturing hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes as we get older, compromising our ability to absorb and utilize nutrients. Whatever your reason, supplemental digestive enzymes are a very wise idea. I recommend them with every meal.
Probiotics
Probiotics
Beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, are called probiotics. A high-potency, probiotic combination is necessary to rebuild the "good bacteria" in the gastrointestinal tract. A healthy balance of the good stuff supports immune function and decreases colony populations of harmful bacteria. Probiotic supplementation can be used daily to maintain intestinal integrity, but is also beneficial in inhibiting the growth of bad bacteria, enhancing digestion, increasing resistance to infection or recolonizing the intestines after antibiotic use.
Fiber
Fiber Delights
If you don't like cellulose fiber or psyllium husks - or even if you do and want to get some extra fiber, which nearly all of us need - here's a delicious and painless way to get it all throughout the day. These "chews" by PhytoPharmica taste great and come in two flavors. Two chewable tablets give you 4 grams from great fiber sources: inulin and fructoogliogosaccharides (the "food" for good bacteria in the gut).
Fiber Supplement: Cellulose Fiber (powder)
Our paleolithic ancestors got 50 to 75 grams a day, the American Cancer Society recommends 30 and most of us get a paltry 10 to 11. We need fiber supplements, and this one is excellent. Fiber is the number one supplement for weight loss, and has many other health benefits as well.
Paleo Fiber
A great new fiber supplement that contains 12 types of fiber including acacia gum, cranberry and flax seeds, psyllium husks, apple pectin and the amazing Konjac Glucomannan, which has been found helpful in diabetes and weight loss.
Essential Fats
Fish Oil Capsules, Ultra-Pure
Fish oil contains EPA (eicosapentanoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanoic acid) two of the most important omega-3 fats. The fats in fish oil have been shown to lower triglycerides, decrease clotting, lower blood pressure, and even stabilize mood. They have remarkable and demonstrated anti-inflammatory action. They are so heart healthy the FDA recently allowed a health claim for them on labels.
Finest Fish Oil Liquid Omega 3
Carlson's Finest Fish Oil is so named for a very good reason. This fish oil is the one I use. It has absolutely no fishy taste, has been tested for every impurity imaginable, and the company is one of the oldest, most reliable and respected companies in natural health. The oil is perfect for those who don't want to swallow the number of pills they'd need to take in order to get dosages in the 3-6 gram range.

Lemon Zest Flavor - New Omega Swirl looks and tastes like a fruit smoothie, yet provides optimal levels of vital and essential Omega-3 EPA/DHA to bring you vibrant health and energy.
Flavored Omega Swirl Fish Oil
Mango Peach Flavor - New Omega Swirl looks and tastes like a fruit smoothie, yet provides optimal levels of vital and essential Omega-3 EPA/DHA to bring you vibrant health and energy.

Super Omega 3's
The research on omega-3 fatty acids is so overwhelming at this point that no one denies their positive impact on cardiovascular health, mood, metabolic syndrome and brain health. These products by Carlson are known to be fine quality at an extremely reasonable cost. The dosages are very meaningful, with each cap containing 330 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA.
GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid)
GLA is the active ingredient found in the oil of Borage Seeds. It is an Essential Fatty Acid in the Omega-6 category, but unlike the unhealthy Omega-6 oils such as vegetable oil, it has tremendous health promoting effects. It is essential for smooth, healthy skin and female hormonal balance with conditions such as PMS and menopause.
FolaPro
Folic acid is a vitally important nutrient but it’s hard to find a natural folic acid source. This product contains Metafolin which is natural folate (L-5-methyl tetrahydrofolate), 800 mcg per tab.
