SUPPLEMENTS AND EATING TIPS: VITAMINS A, C, E, PLUS SELENIUM AND OTHER PILLS
Posted on 2009 under Weight Loss | No CommentVitamins A, C, and E, plus selenium, are not the only antioxidants. These substances are powerful partners for the 4 ACES:
♦ Alpha lipotene (a brand of alpha lipoic acid)—The most powerful universal metabolic antioxidant.
♦ Coenzyme Q10—Helps each cell make energy, also a strong antioxidant.
♦ Proanthocyanidins—Flavonoids which have a powerful antioxidant and anti-heart attack effect. Pycnogenol is a
standardized form of the proanthocyanidins which comes from the bark of the Pinus pinaster in France.
♦ Epigallocatechin gallate—A very strong antioxidant with anticancer and anti-cardiovascular disease properties, found in Japanese green tea.
Other nutrients I have found to be of value for the Fat Blocker Eating Program include zinc, the B-complex vitamins, and magnesium. I generally recommend that my patients take
♦ Alpha lipotene—50 mg. twice a day.
♦ Coenzyme Q10—30 mg. once daily, taken with the largest meal, if you’re under 50. If you’re over 50 and have absolutely no health problems, 100 mg. once a day. If you’re over 50 and have high blood pressure and/or heart disease, 200 mg. once a day.
♦ Proanthocyanidins/Pycnogenol—30 mg. twice a day.
♦ Epigallocatechin gallate—I suggest drinking 2-3 glasses of Japanese green tea a day to get epigallocatechin gallate.
♦ Zinc—20 mg. once daily.
♦ B-complex vitamins—A B-complex containing 50 mg. of the major B vitamins (Blr B2, B3, B5, B6), plus B12, and folic acid twice daily.
♦ Magnesium—300-350 mg. twice a day.
