 Frankly speaking,
de-conditioned, inactive people interested only in growing hair,
skin and nails probably meet their nutritional needs through
food alone. Or, at best, might consider an inexpensive daily
multi-vitamin.
However,
research has proven that physically active people
have much higher metabolic requirements. The
amount and quality of your
caloric intake, in conjunction with vitamin
supplementation, is of utmost importance.
An Analogy:
Here’s an analogy. Imagine
you are invited to a mountain lakeside cabin to spend the
weekend. You immediately say "yes" and jot the date on your
calendar.
But then a few days later you’re asked to tow a
boat up the mountain for everyone’s use. You say "yes." But now,
you start to think about the condition
of your car.
Do you have enough air in your tires?
When did you last change your anti-freeze?
What about the oil and transmission fluid?
How much more gas will your car burn and should you use a higher
octane?
These are valid thoughts --
because you're about to add physical stress to
your vehicle.
The same holds true when you begin an
exercise program. You increase physical stress
on your body. And, when you increase physical stress on
your body, fueling it (through proper
nutrition) becomes a major consideration.
What Vitamins Really Do:
Vitamins accomplish two things.
-
They help in
the digestion and utilization of foods, thus, creating
"higher octane fuel" for your body.
-
Second, they
ensure that all nutritional gaps are filled allowing your
body to efficiently and effectively burn fat, gain lean
muscle tissue and fully adapt to increased physical stress.
Master Formulator:
 John
E. Logsdon (1924-1998) was the master formulator of this
unique line of nutritional supplements. Even after his passing,
Logsdon’s research, science and experimentation is recognized,
today, as some of the most relevant, innovative and highly
regarded works in the fields of biochemistry and sports
nutrition.
During the 1960’s, while
mainstream medical experts, nutritionists and other life science
professionals were developing “nutritional standards” for
the general public, Logsdon was researching the nutritional
needs for athletes and active lifestyle enthusiasts.
He quickly discovered their metabolic requirements were
quite different.
Spearheading
a 15-year project, he learned how, why and which various blends
of nutrients were crucial to the pursuit of athletic
performance, muscle gain, muscle recovery, efficient fat-loss
and stamina. And, how various vitamins, minerals and
other nutrients worked synergistically with foods
in combination with increased physical stress and
raised metabolism.
In short, Logsdon not only proved
the deficiencies of the typical RDA’s (recommended daily
allowances) but demonstrated the absolute necessity for “optimal
nutrition” protocols when dealing with athletes and active
lifestyle enthusiasts.
Finally, in the early 1970’s,
based on this research, Logsdon began to formulate a complete,
synergistic line of nutritional products specifically designed
for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. His formulations were,
and are to this day, extraordinary.
All Natural Is Better:
First
and foremost, these super premium formulas are all
natural. This is important. There is substantial
scientific evidence that vitamins derived from natural
sources are more readily absorbed and assimilated
by the human body — whereas vitamins derived from inorganic
chemicals are usually combined with undesirable substances such
as sugar, inorganic binders, preservatives and coal tars.
Second, each formula consists of
“source-specific” raw ingredients from around the world.
For example, Korean ginseng root is quite different than
Siberian or Chinese ginseng. Again, the level of detail
in the development of these formulations is significant.
Finally, each product requires its
own set of manufacturing protocols including precision
measurements, exacting temperature-controlled manufacturing
processes and constant testing and analysis.
These proprietary formulas
represent much of Logsdon’s life work. As such, each product
has been registered, patented and trademarked.
Of note:
-
All daily
multi-vitamin/mineral formulas contain Pancreatine 5X
– one of the highest quality and most expensive digestive
enzyme complexes available
-
All multi-vitamin/mineral
formulas contain a full complement of amino acids
-
You’ll also find an abundance
of herbs and herbal complexes incorporated
into the formulas to help enhance absorption and
utilization of food in conjunction with the products
-
All products are manufactured
in temperature-controlled environments to ensure
efficacy and bioavailability of natural
ingredients
-
All tablets use natural
ingredients instead of varnishes or other harsh
chemicals that serve as binding agents to hold it together
or to make the product smell more acceptable.

Multi-Dosing is the Best Strategy for Optimal Nutrition |
|
|
We're often asked
our opinion regarding nutrition
and supplement strategies. We
usually answer with this
question:
"Are you
interested in convenience or
optimal nutrition?"
If you're
interested in optimal nutrition,
then, a Multi-Dose supplement
strategy is still the
best way to go. And, you
should take supplements that
begin to disintegrate
immediately.
On the other
hand, if one is interested in
convenience, then time-release,
sustained release or enrobing
may be the best answer for some
people.
Follow the Logic:
There is a
logic behind a multi-dose
strategy -- especially among
athletes, fitness enthusiasts
and those seeking physical
results in the most
time-efficient manner possible.
-
You probably know you should
eat 4-7 meals/snacks per day
to maintain blood-sugar
levels as well as consistent
levels of other various
nutrients.
-
You already know that
vitamins (especially
multi-vitamin formulas) are,
in actuality, co-enzymes
meant to work with
foods.
-
Supplementing those
meals/snacks at the time of
ingestion is the only way to
ensure all potential
nutritional gaps are filled.
Time Release Looks Good in a
Laboratory, but....
We're the
first to admit that
time-release, sustained
release and enrobing
all offer "consumer
convenience." And, from a
marketing standpoint, they
certainly have a modern,
high-tech appeal. However, there
are several issues that simply
don't work out in the "real
world."
-
The issue of "transit"
(a tablet or capsule
traveling through the
digestive tract) is not
controllable. The
tablet or capsule may travel
through one person's
digestive system at a
different rate of speed than
another's.
-
The "triggering
mechanism" for time
release is pH. This differs
from person to person and
again, is uncontrollable.
In Conclusion:
For serious
fitness enthusiasts, coaches and
athletes, the priorities remain
the same:
Proper
nutrition - through food - comes
first.
However, almost
all fitness enthusiasts
and athletes enhance
their nutrition/fueling programs
with ultra, high-quality
nutritional supplements.
And, these extraordinary
formulations were specifically
developed for for their unique
metabolic requirements.
With more than 30
years of research, these
formulations are "hands-down,"
the absolute best nutritional
supplements you can buy. They
are manufactured in small
quantities adhering to the
strictest protocols under a
California Drug Manufacturing
License.
They are made
available for resale to
consumers exclusively
through this website as well as
hundreds of sports,
health and fitness
professionals. This
supplement line is NOT
sold or marketed through
consumer-based mass retail
venues. |
