The first day of your life that you experience less energy, less vitality, and less mental power, is the first day of your impending illness, Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., N.D., Ph.D

Turning 50 adds a special meaning to the phrase "without your health, nothing else matters". Statistics indicate that the average life expectancy is about 75. While some of us will live to be 100, most have begun the dying process many years before we reach the age of 50.

I have always considered myself to be healthy, yet through the aging process I had found that between accumulated normal stress, the present environmental conditions, and less than ideal eating habits, my body was on a road of degenerative health. Since growing up in the 50's, I have watched our society convert from independence to one of dependence, especially in the area of health care. It seems we have come to depend on medical technologies to correct the damage we incur through unhealthy lifestyles. While we question the "quality of life" we survive on a diet of fast food, work in high-stress jobs, and have replaced walking with the drive-up window.

I used to think it was normal to have an occasional headache or stomach cramp, to become sleepy in the afternoon or wake up in the middle of the night and have difficulty getting back to sleep. I haven't become what some would consider a "natural health fanatic". But, almost ten years ago, when I reached the age of 50, I began focusing on achieving optimum health. Through dietary changes, avoiding the drive-up window, supplementing with Nature's Secret formulas, drinking filtered water instead of soda, and changing indoor air and lighting, I actually feel better now than I did when I was 30. I get a good night's sleep, every night, have endless energy during the day, and think clearer.

Our bodies are made up of cells (about 300 trillion). Millions of cells die each day, while a million new cells are born each and every hour. Every 90 days our blood cells renew. Every 3 years the soft tissues (organs) renew. Every 7 years the hard tissue (bones) renew. If the only nutrients available to our cells are of poor quality, then it stands to reason that the cells may still use these poor-quality nutrients and manufacture poor quality cells. Positive health changes through natural alternatives won't happen overnight, but I know it does happen and its never too late to start.

My wife's digestive and other medical problems were corrected with natural health alternatives. Her conditions and how her health changed became the driving force behind the creation of Essentials Of Life. I wish I knew at age 30 what I began to discover at 50. I never knew I could feel this good.

Need A Reason To Take Supplements? Try These...

• An optimal selection of foods does not give us enough antioxidants to defend ourselves against toxic outgassing from office equipment, cigarette smoke, smog, and alcohol.

• The average person is exposed to more than five hundred chemicals in the home enviroment and seven hundred chemicals in drinking water that are known to deplete many nutrients.

• Soils are depleted of minerals due to chemical farming methods, acid rain, overfarming, and topsoil erosion. Ninety percent of us are deficient in chromium, an essential trace mineral poorly supplied by the American diet.

• Eighty percent of the carbohydrates consumed by Americans are in the form of refined flours and sugars, which are very poor sources of B6, folic acid, pantothenic acid, zinc, and manganese essential for health.

• The 133 pounds of sugar Americans eat each year depletes B vitamins and minerals.

• Only 9% of the population eats the recommended five servings of vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables.

• Americans eat 230 more calories per day than they did fifteen years ago. Our diet consists of refined foods. Increasing our consumption of nutrient-depleted foods means we have an even higher requirement for the vitamins and minerals needed to metabolize them.

• Those who exercise regularly have a much higher need for antioxidants and minerals.

• Vitamin B2 is needed by those with hypothyroid in amounts greater than can be found in food.

• Men and women need to be optimally nourished long before they have children.

• More than 10% of calories consumed in America come from alcoholic beverages. Alcohol depletes B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium.

• Our epidemic of degenerative diseases is caused by multiple nutrient deficiencies.

• Prescription and over-the-counter medications can deplete nutrients and create deficiencies.

• Birth control pills create B6 deficiencies and increase the need for B6 beyond what the diet can supply.

• Illness increases our need for Vitamin C and zinc well beyond what food can supply.

• Millions of Americans are dieting and need supplements just to meet minimal nutrient requirements. Dieting increases free radical production, and optimal levels of antioxidants are needed to reduce damage to the liver and other organs that can occur during weight loss.

by Dr. Lindsay Duncan, C.N.,N.D., and former C.E.O. and formulator of Nature's Secret product lines.

So many people live their lives each day feeling fatigued, tired, and run-down. They blame it on getting older, stress, genetics, etc. They get used to feeling this way and eventually it becomes...the norm. After a while, they can't remember what it's like to feel really good!

Our modern day lifestyles, daily stresses, poor diets, chlorinated water, and polluted environment are robbing us of the nutrients we need for optimum health. We are functioning on devitalized, over-processed foods, fast foods, and fruits and vegetables that have been sprayed with a myriad of herbacides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers. Through modern farming methods, our soils have been stripped of their vital nutrients. How does this effect the food we grow and eat? Mineral-deficient soil produces mineral-deficient foods. And mineral-deficient foods produce mineral-deficient people. And mineral-deficient people produce mineral-deficient diseases. No wonder so many people complain of fatigue and lack of energy...many of us are poorly nourished!

Through his experience, as founder and head nutritionist of the Home Nutrition Clinic in Santa Monica, California, of recommending hundreds of different supplements to his clients, Dr. Lindsey Duncan, N.D.,C.N., identified one of the most important nutritional discoveries of the decade. When taking single-formula multiple vitamins, his clients experienced few tangible effects, but when he recommended single nutrients for specific times of day, his clients reported noticeable results.

Clients who complained of fatigue and low energy levels, were instructed to take nutrients such as B vitamins and Ginseng, as well as certain amino acids, antioxidants, and superfoods in the morning. Clients complaining of restlessness and the inability to relax at the end of the day were instructed to take minerals like calcium and magnesium, particular amino acids, and antioxidants at night. From these experiences, Dr. Duncan began evaluating over 100 nutrients for their best use in the morning and evening.

Dr. Duncan's research led him to the creation of Ultimate Multi Plus to work synergistically with your body's morning/evening cycles, called Circadian Rhythms. Morning Multi Plus provides energy-supporting nutrients, like the B vitamins, Ginseng, and L-Leucine, to support your demanding daytime cycle. Evening Multi Plus provides nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and chamomile, to support relaxation, restful sleep, and body rejuvenation.

Lindsey Duncan has truly gathered all of his energy, thoughts, research, clinical experiences and understanding of the human body to offer people a beneficial, natural, safe, effective and convenient multiple vitamin, mineral, amino acid, enzyme, antioxidant, superfood, and herbal and catalyst formula. It's the most complete nutrient formula available and is extremely easy to digest and assimilate due to the Herbalgest herb/enzyme formula.
