ALA May Contribute A Long And Healtfy Life

There have been other studies in the medical literature noting rats that were fed a combination of alpha lipoic acid and acetyl-L carnitine actually had regeneration of brain tissue along with more youthful behavior and activity. Alpha lipoic acid and acetyl-L carnitine have long been regarded as potential anti-aging nutrients. In addition vitamin B6. Researchers from Tufts University reviewed the data collected in a 2003-2004 Health and Nutrition Examination Survey known as NHANES. It was previously thought that B6 deficiency is rare in the United States. B6 has been linked to healthy heart function and immune function. It was found that in a group of over 7,800 men and women, nearly a quarter of them who did not take any supplementation had blood levels of B6 that were deemed to be deficient. In those individuals who took some supplementation, 11% were noted to have a deficiency of B6. Interestingly, in women who reported using oral contraceptives, they were much more likely to have extremely low levels of B6 in their blood stream.

We have been asked by many people what a good vitamin regimen is. Aside from one of Nutraceutical Sciences Institute® (NSI®) Synergy Multi-Vitamins we consume NSI Mega EFA®, an excellent omega-3 essential fatty acid product as well as with NSI's combination of alpha lipoic acid and acetyl-L carnitine and NSI Longevatrol® . This resveratrol and red wine polyphenol complex in a very stable Licap®. We also add extra nutrients, especially if there have been some recent favorable studies on them. NSI Synergy nutraceutical multis are one of the only multis on the market with alpha lipoic acid, not to mention effective levels of natural trans form CoQ10, as well as many other powerful antioxidants not found in other multis. In fact, the new version of Synergy NeuroPower® has 600 mg of alpha lipoic acid combined with 1,000 mg of acetyl-L carnitine, 200 mg of CoQ10 and over 34 other beneficial nutrients.

Why do other multi vitamins fail to include such important nutrients at effective levels? Some of the nutrients utilized in Synergy are thousands of times more expensive but also far more powerful when compared to the primary ingredients in other multis. Why can Vitacost.com provide these NSI products at such a great value? By being 100% direct to consumer with zero retail stores, VitaCost is able to remove the mark ups distributors and retail stores add on to the price of products. In fact, did you know the average price paid at a retail store is 500% more than it costs to make the product? Multilevel or network marketing products are even worse, the typical markup is 1,000% or more.
