The Battle Against AgingHow to avoid the hype and gain real benefits

By Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., M.Sc. • www.mydoctor.ca/drzoltanrona

It is estimated that close to 70% of all North Americans take nutritional supplements regularly. In part, this is because of mounting scientific evidence supporting their use, as well as growing concerns about the quality of our food supply. As much of our food is genetically engineered, irradiated, chemically sprayed or otherwise adulterated, diet alone may not provide all of the essential nutrition we need.

Studies indicate that approximately half of North Americans suffer from marginal nutritional deficiencies. Some reputable scientists estimate that at least 80% of the public is deficient in vitamin D. While it may be theoretically possible to get all of our required nutrients from diet alone, the fact is that most people in North America do not do so. Even if one consumes a carefully created and prepared diet that meets the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), scientific research now indicates that the “optimal” level of nutrients may be much higher than the currently published RDAs.

What Many Of Us Need

Many of us need to take a high quality multiple vitamin and mineral supplement to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, many “natural” food supplements contain an awesome list of synthetic fillers, additives which are detrimental to health. With some exceptions, pure vitamin and mineral che-lates cannot be compressed directly into tablet form without the addition of binders, lubricants, diluents, disintegrators, and colouring and flavouring agents. Some national brands even contain saturated hydro-carbons such as paraffin or wax, which can be deposited in the plaque of individuals suffering from coro-nary artery disease.

Most healthy people will have no obvious side effects from ingesting the small amount of toxins in vitamin or mineral tab-lets. Over 7% of people, however, are sensitive to these chemi-cals. Allergic reactions can affect any organ system in the body including the brain. This produces symptoms such as fatigue, memory loss, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, and insomnia.

When purchasing supplements, consider delivery systems like softgel capsules, naturally compressed tablets, and powders or liquids that contain the fewest possible additives. A good mul-tiple supplement will always tell what’s also not in their product (especially wheat, dairy, yeast, eggs and other common aller-gens). Always read the entire label carefully before use.

What About Whole Food Supplements?

The science of nutrition has not yet discovered the complete range of vital nutrients found only in natural foods. Live, whole food concentrates have the unique advantage of supplying the body with enzymes and cancer-preventing phytochemicals like carotenoids, indoles, isothiocyanates, isoflavones, and phytosterols.

These substances do not exist in any vitamin or mineral supplement. Additionally, whole foods provide vitamins, minerals, amino acids, polypeptide hormone precursors, and other nutrients that support the vital life force needed by all cells for optimal health.

Examples of whole food supplements are as follows:

Given our present state of knowledge, adding one or more whole food supplements to a daily multiple vitamin and mineral supplement is a beneficial way to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.

A good multiple vitamin and mineral supplement cannot usually fit into a single tablet or capsule. Your supplement should contain a variety of ingredients at effica-cious amounts.

The nutritional needs of men are signifi-cantly different from those of women. This is because of hormonal, organ and metabolic differences between the two sexes.

Another important note is that multivita-min supplements designed for men will rarely contain iron. This is because, un-like women, men do not lose iron through menses every month.

Men rarely, if ever, need iron in supple-mental form. In fact, too much iron can

may protect against UV radiation to provide ingredient stability, and may provide the potential to en-hance nutrient absorption. Studies have shown that softgels can increase the rate of absorption and bio-availability. With the body having more of the vitamin to absorb, the dose amount during manufacturing can be reduced and unlike two piece or hard-shell capsules which cannot hold liquid formulas, softgels can contain a liquid to maintain nutritional value and other types of compounds. Since the nutrients in a softgel are retained in an air-tight capsule, its tamperproof, it can be swallowed with no aftertaste, and shelf life is longer.

With a host of benefits including ease-of-use and the potential to significantly increase nutrient availabil-ity, selecting a multivitamin supplement in a softgel makes the store shelves seem a little less intimidat-ing. And that makes for a happy, healthy consumer.

Multivitamins Are Good For Your Health!

A recent clinical study investigating the effects of multivitamins on biological aging showed just that.1 The study, published in 2009, was the first to explore the relationship between multivitamin use and telomere lengths. Investigators measured telomeres (DNA sequences found at the tip of a chromosome) to see if they would be influenced by multivitamin intake.

As part of the normal process of cell division, telo-meres shorten and limit the number of divisions a cell can make. Eventually apoptosis occurs which is the process by which telomeres are depleted and cells are destroyed. Although apoptosis is a natural process of aging, there are a variety of other means that can con-tribute to faster telomere shortening and accelerate the aging process. Negative influencers include smoking, obesity, nutritional deficiencies, and alcohol.

To examine whether a relationship existed between multivitamin use and telomere lengths, 586 individual subjects participated in the study where their multi-vitamin intake, nutrient intake and telomere lengths were examined. The findings were statistically sig-nificant, and the idea of slowing the biological aging process was exciting. Investigators found that telomere lengths, on average, were 5.1 percent longer for daily multivitamin users versus non users. They also noted that a positive relationship existed between telomere lengths and the intake of vitamins C and E from foods. Significant research also points to the benefits of con-suming omega-3 to help extend the life of telomeres.

be harmful in that accumulation of iron causes free radical oxidizing damage to numerous organs and is a risk factor for heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

Men, especially as they age, may develop enlargement of their prostate gland. Herbs such as saw palmetto can help maintain a healthy prostate from enlarging. So look for some saw palmetto in an ideal multiple for men.

Not All Delivery Systems Are Created Alike

Choosing the right product can be a daunting task for dietary supplement consumers. When scouring store shelves for the best options to help them achieve their goals, consumers wade through a sea of brands, an endless array of ingredients and claims, and often choose one over the other because of packaging design. But do they consider the product’s delivery system? If they don’t, they should. As with any other consid-eration, choosing a product with the right delivery system can make a difference. Powders, dry tablets, chewable formats, and soft gelatin capsules are popular options for consumers to consider. They’ll also need to consider the type of supplement they’re ingesting, timing or when best to take it, and even per-sonal preferences like size and taste.

One of the most widely recognized formats is the tablet. Available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and occasionally coated for easier swallowing, tablets are relatively inexpensive. And, unlike medicines, since vitamins don’t need to be absorbed into the system quickly, a slower absorption rate may not be of a concern to some consumers. However, multivitamins in a tablet form can be large and difficult to swallow, and may require multiple tablets to be ingested at a time. Also consider that tablets are compressed forms of a vitamin or formula and contain fillers to allow for compression and hardening.

Another format you’re sure to have heard of or even tried is the chewable. Popular as a delivery format for children and the elderly, many popular brands now provide the chewable option to help anyone who simply dislikes swallowing pills or has difficulty doing so. The chewable is a seemingly suitable choice for ease of consumption, but may contain added ingredients to sweeten the taste.

Although some multivitamin products are available in a powdered formula, supplements of this type are most often associated with fitness and bodybuilding. And since active ingredients need to be delivered within a certain window of time to be properly absorbed, ingestion needs to take place before or after a workout. Powders can sometimes contain numerous ingredients for added benefits beyond its intended purpose, but efficacious amounts may be questionable and therefore unnecessary. The obvious drawbacks of purchasing a powder are the size of the container (much larger than a tablet or softgel bottle), the lack of convenience (mixing the powder with a liquid, usually water or juice), and the added ingredients in-tended to flavour and sweeten the formula.

The typical liquid supplement has also become an increasingly popular format for providing an immediate boost or relief from certain types of pain. And, they’re relatively easy to consume – minus the refrigera-tion aspect. But there are challenges. Active ingredients can be bitter and displeasing to the tongue.

The soft gelatin capsule, commonly known as a softgel, is a popular delivery system for liquid or oil-based nutrients and formulas that offers benefits consumers find appealing. Softgels are easy to swallow,
