December 26, 2008, Newsletter Issue #282: Using Supplements to Beat the Supergerms

Tip of the Week

You canīt keep your car running without visiting a gas station to insure it gets the proper amount of oil, transmission and brake fluid. Likewise, you canīt keep the old body moving around in top form without making sure it is getting the benefits of vitamins and minerals considered to be the building blocks of immunity.
According to the Natural Guide to Beating Supergerms, the essential supplements we need to protect us from the new group of invading viruses include:
Vitamin A - 5,000 IU daily
Vitamin B-complex - including 10 mg each of B1, B2, and B-6, 10 mcg B-12, 100 mg B-3, 25 mg of pantothenic acid, and 400 mcg of folic acid daily.
Vitamin C - between 1,000 and 3,000 mg daily, divided into two daily doses in order to avoid bloating, gas or other bowel distress.
Also, there is a potential to overdose on Vitamin A when you consume more than 1,000,000 in a 2-3 week period. Discontinue use if you experience symptoms of headache, vomiting, hair loss, dry hair, dry skin or bone pain. Daily intake of more than 10,000 IU at time of conception can also increase risk of birth defects.
