The supplements in the table are those we recommend for all adults. At the upper left corner of each section, you'll see the name of a supplement in bold and brown letters. In most cases, we use the name and product number of a Bronson Laboratories product (see Disclaimer below). The first product, for example, is #6 Super B. To the right of the supplement, we give the daily dose we generally recommend and any instructions peculiar to the supplement. Below the name of the supplement and our instructions, we list the generic nutrients contained in the supplement. We have preceded each nutrient with a small green dot, like this •. To the far right of each supplement and in red letters, we give the daily dose of the supplement we recommend most patients with. For example, to the far right of #6 Super B, you will see One tablet two times per day. We thank Vicky Massey for spending the time to detail the generic nutrients contained in each supplement. We also thank her for reminding us that often people living in geographic areas such as Washington don't get the sun exposure needed to produce enough vitamin D in their bodies. To meet the special need of these people for a vitamin D supplement, we've added a supplement containing vitamin D to the list. Disclaimer. In the supplement table, we list Bronson Laboratories products. We do so because they are (1) high quality products, (2) less expensive than most other quality supplement brands, and (3) we personally use the company's products ourselves. Jackie Yellin and Vicky Massey also use them for the same reasons. We began using Bronson products many years ago because Professor Linus Pauling used them and testified to their high quality. We want to emphasize an extremely important point: As with Professor Pauling, no one associated with drlowe.com receives any compensation in any form from Bronson or any other company for recommending their nutritional products. We also don't sell nutritional supplements. We also use supplements from a few other companies. For example, we use some products of Carlson Laboratories, a family-owned company that markets high-quality, reasonably priced products. Puritan's Pride, Swanson Health Products, Vitacost, and Vitamin Connection are other companies that usually have the lowest prices for most supplements. (We thank reads of drlowe.com who've let us know about the cost-effective companies they use.) If you want to compared supplement prices from these cost-effective companies, you can do so at the following phone numbers or websites:
There are many good brands of nutritional supplements on the market to choose from. In our supplement table, we list the generic nutrients contained in the different Bronson supplements we recommend. We list the generic nutrients so that if you chose to use other company's products, you'll know the different nutrients in the supplements and roughly the amounts we recommend that most people take. Whenever you choose a brand, make sure the company that markets it emphasizes quality control. Special Individual Nutritional Needs. Please note that the supplements in our table are the ones we recommend for all adult patients. We have listed the ones we ourselves have used for years. Some patients, however, have special nutritional needs. These needs will require that the patients either add to the supplements we recommend, take different dosages, or take supplements we don't list. You may benefit from dietary and nutritional counseling by a health care professional trained in modern scientifically-based nutrition. We also believe, though, that all patients should take nutritional supplements, even if they don't have professional guidance. The best way to achieve optimal health by using nutritional supplements is to educate yourself about them and use them wisely, so we encourage you to read as much as possible about nutrition. We recommend that you start with a book by Professor Linus Pauling: How To Live Longer and Feel Better (New York, Avon Books, 1986). DietFacts.com:
