Twenty years ago I was almost a voice crying in the wilderness when I said you’d live a longer and healthier life if you ate a healthy diet
and
consumed vitamin and mineral supplements than you would if you ate a healthy diet alone. I have stubbornly persisted because the experiences of my forty thousand patients have affirmed and reaffirmed the correctness of that view. Now the virtues of supplements are becoming commonplace, supported by an increasing number of highly orthodox medical scientists and loudly proclaimed from the covers of major newsmagazines. In the end my viewpoint may become the conventional one, which would be a change of pace.
For all of you who are doing the Atkins diet I must insist on the importance of your supplements. During the two-week Induction phase of the diet, you will need supplements to maintain a proper nutritional balance. After that, you should go right on taking them because they’re good for you.
Following is my Dieter’s Formula. Find a multivitamin that gives you something close to this formula, and then take three capsules a day. People who weigh 200 pounds or more are to use the second, larger doses, provided in parentheses, of certain vitamins.
Vitamin A | 200 IU |
Beta-Carotene | 500 IU |
Vitamin D-2 | 15 IU |
Thiamine (HCl)(B | 5 mg |
Riboflavin (B | 4 mg |
Vitamin C (Calcium Ascorbate) | 120 mg (150 mg) |
Niacin (B | 2 mg |
Niacinamide | 5 mg |
Pantethine (80%) | 25 mg (30 mg) |
Calcium Pantothenate (B | 25 mg |
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate | 2 mg |
Pyridoxine (HCI)(B | 20 mg |
Folic Acid | 100 mcg |
Biotin | 75 mcg |
Cyanocobalamin (B | 30 mcg |
Vitamin E (D alpha tocopherol) | 2 IU |
Copper (Sulfate) | 200 mcg |
Magnesium (Oxide) | 8 mg |
Chlorine (Bitartrate) | 100 mg |
Inositol | 80 mg |
PABA | 100 mg |
Manganese (Chelate) | 4 mg |
Zinc (Chelate) | 10 mg |
Citrus Bioflavonoids | 150 mg |
Chromium (Picolinate) | 50 mcg |
Molybdenum (Sodium) | 10 mcg |
Vanadyl Sulfate | 15 mcg |
Selenium | 40 mcg |
Octacosanol | 150 mcg |
N-Acetyl-l-cysteine | 20 mg |
L-Glutathione (reduced) | 5 mg |
The recommended formula comes in a base of lactobacillus, bulgaris and bifidus acidophilus, B-Complex, and growth factors
.
In addition to this formula, the next most important nutritional group for long-range supplementation are the essential fatty acids. You won’t find these in a multivitamin formula because they exist physically as oils and don’t mix with a dry powder capsule. There are two types of essential fatty acids that most of us need. One type is the omega-3 series that provides you with alpha linolenic acid (ALA). The other type is the omega-6 series called gamma linolenic acid (GLA).
To supplement with these important nutrients, take an essential oils formula containing approximately the following:
Flaxseed oil | 400 mg |
Borage oil | 400 mg |
Super EPA | 400 mg |
