Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to be a major factor in the development of cancer as well as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, muscle weakness,  and more. Vitamin D’s primary function in the body is maintaining normal blood levels of calcium and helping keep bones healthy and strong. With this information in mind, people are showing a renewed interest in making sure they are getting the recommended Vitamin D. The question is… should you get it from sunshine, food, or supplement?

The answer is… all three are important sources of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is found in many food sources such as fish, eggs, and fortified milk. The US government recommendation for Vitamin D is currently 200 IU per day. It would only take a couple of glasses of milk to reach this recommendation. However, the skin produces approximately 10,000 IU of Vitamin D in response to 20-30 minutes of summer sun exposure… that’s the equivalent of 50 glasses of milk!! …And many studies are showing that higher amounts of Vitamin D daily are beneficial in many ways.

The reasonable conclusion then is that people who get regular sun exposure are probably producing plenty of Vitamin D. For the winter months or for people who rarely get sun exposure, it is smart to choose a high-quality Vitamin D3 supplement to boost your Vitamin D levels.

Proper nutrition has been shown in clinical studies to help children develop to their highest potential regarding:
• Grades in school • Balanced energy
• Focus and attention • Self-image
• Immune function and development

• Proper nutrition plays an important role to reduce chronic disease risk, yet on a daily basis, less than 50% of children consume the RDA recommended number of servings in any given food group and nearly 80% do not eat the recommended level of nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables.**

• Obesity in kids has reached epidemic levels. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicates that approximately 25% of American adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 can be described as overweight, or becoming at risk of overweight.*** Studies show that 20 to 40% of American youngsters are physically unfit.

• The American Journal of Psychiatry shows that children who experience malnutrition exhibit strikingly increased behavioral disorders and aggressive behavior as they grow older.The study looked at children between 8 and 17 years, and found disturbing behavioral statistics. Children who suffered certain nutritional deficiencies demonstrated a shocking 41% increase in aggression by age 8. At age 17, they demonstrated a 51% increase in violent and antisocial behavior. The foods they were eating and the nutrients they were missing were critical factors.

• According to a study conducted by the University of Southern California and published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, poor nutrition in the early years leads to low IQ and antisocial behavior that continues into later life.

Is your child at risk? Make sure your children are getting the proper nutrition through a healthy diet and the Eniva Vibe KIDS nutraceutical.

Excerpt from Dr. Ben’s Health Newsletter Volume 03

You probably have noticed that one cannot open a health magazine, watch a health program or talk to a cardiologist and not hear about the health benefits of the Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The positive impact of EPA and DHA in health is without question. In fact, there is such resounding agreement between the medical and nutritional communities on the role and need for the Omega-3 nutrient group, that daily supplementation is now being recommended by multiple nationally recognized health organizations, including the American Heart Association (AHA).

The Omega-3 EFAs, especially EPA and DHA, have been conclusively shown to promote health in multiple body areas. These include cardiovascular (heart), neurologic (brain), immune, vision, joint and weight systems.* The research is so impressive the American Heart Association recommends the daily intake of 1,000 mg of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids, primarily in the form of EPA and DHA, for cardiovascular health. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a health claim for the reduction of the risk of developing cardiovascular disease for products containing a threshold amount of Omega-3s.†

EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the “Most Valuable Players” of the Omega-3 Team. They are the two most active and potent Omega-3s. Numerous research studies have been performed demonstrating their health-promoting properties and their superiority to other Omega-3s.*

I am often asked where EPA and DHA come from, and the answer is they are only found in marine (fish) sources. Although there are other Omega-3s that come from vegetable sources (like flax seed), the fatty acids found in vegetable sources needs to be converted by the body to EPA and DHA. Unfortunately, the conversion rate to EPA and DHA from “upstream” vegetable sourced Omega-3s is low – less than 10%. Therefore, most nutritional experts and doctors recommend supplements that contain DHA and EPA over those that contain vegetable sourced Omega-3s.

So, does everyone need the Omega-3s EPA and DHA? Yes! First, these substances are classified as Essential Fatty Acids because the body does not make them AND because they play a critical role in the normal functioning processes of the body.* The body relies on the diet to obtain these vital substances. However, unless one is eating several servings of fish per week, one is likely not receiving enough Omega-3 EFAs, especially DHA and EPA. Although eating fish is a way to obtain EPA and DHA in food, one needs to be mindful of the potential for environmental contaminants – such as mercury. That is why many individuals turn to using purified and tested EPA and DHA supplements versus eating several servings of fish. In addition, while many foods advertise to be fortified with Omega-3s, these are vegetable sourced Omega-3s, NOT marine sourced. Therefore, they do not contain EPA and DHA. Due to their lack in the diet, low conversion from precursors and the tremendous role they play in body health, the vast majority of individuals should be supplementing with EPA and DHA Omega-3s.

When supplementing, be sure to calculate the actual EPA and DHA content, not just the total Omega-3 amount. A desired level of EPA + DHA is 1,000 mg, daily. Unfortunately, some products have a large amount of total Omega- 3s, but are low in EPA and DHA. Also, be sure to look for a product that has heavy metal and contaminant testing performed – this is a must! Another consideration is that many multivitamin/mineral dietary supplements do not contain Essential Fatty Acids in their formulations or they are found at a very low amount. Therefore, I recommend individuals consume a separate EPA and DHA Omega-3 supplement aside from their daily multivitamin.

If you are not consuming an appropriate amount of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (in particular EPA and DHA), your body is truly missing essential substances required for health and normal function. Without these, you are setting a barrier to your own health. Fortunately, through either very selective dietary foods or with appropriate supplementation, you can easily achieve the recommended amounts.

I would highly encourage you to visit with your personal health care provider regarding the role EPA and DHA Omega-3s play in health. In particular, I would ask them about the GISSI-Prevenzione cardiovascular clinical trial that had 11,000 patients enrolled – the results were tremendous. And, as always, be sure to show any supplement you are considering to your qualified personal health care provider before starting.

In closing, I would simply like everyone to know how passionately I believe in the daily use of EPA and DHA Omega-3s. The strength of the scientific evidence is overwhelming. Not a day goes by where I (or my family) do not supplement with these two substances. I am firmly convinced they can tremendously impact health in a very positive manner.

Warmest regards,
Dr. Ben

When you look at someone’s glowing skin, vibrant hair and strong nails, what you are really admiring is the health of a substance in their body called collagen. Collagen is a critical component of your skin and is also found in cartilage, bone and other connective tissues. It is a fibrous protein compound which creates a protective, armor-like matrix in the body. Healthy collagen is extremely important. Once connective tissues begin to age and break down, your skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag and your protective internal matrix of collagen begins to fail. The Eniva Vibe CollaMAX blend is a blend of specific collagen-building and strengthening nutrients to help promote youthful appearance and internal structure integrity. In addition, its nutrients support healthy cellular replication.
