Almost on a daily basis I get an e-mail or
asked, "what supplements do you take and why?" After 18 years of supplement
formulation, having a large holistic medicine practice, and studying just
about every supplement on the planet, I have narrowed it down to a few core
products. This is the base to almost every nutritional program in my
practice. When I came to California Academy of Health I brought these core
products so everyone could have them. Here are my core supplements and why I
take them (this list is in order of importance). The statements below have
not been evaluated by the FDA and are merely my personal thoughts and
opinions. These statements are not meant as a substitute for seeking medical
attention for a specific body problem.
:
Proteins are essential parts of all living organisms and participate in
every process within our cells. Protein is also what makes up our muscles,
immune system, internal organs, hair, nails, skin, and connective tissue.
Whether your body resembles a brick house, stick house, or straw house is
determined by the level of protein in your body. When a client comes in for
a consultation with weak nails, poor hair growth, a weak immune system,
and/or low energy, I always know they are deficient in their intake of
(quality) protein. I usually take one scoop a day (25 grams of protein), but
two scoops on the days I am working out in the gym.

This is my insurance policy! - with all the vitamins, minerals, phyto-nutrients,
antioxidants, and on and on.... I would need to write a book to express all
the reasons I feel a whole-food multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is so
important. Liquid Power™ is 100% vegetarian. There are no stimulants. It
contains no soy, corn, wheat, artificial colors, or sweeteners. I give it to
my two year old daughter, Maile, and she loves it.
Super Power
Enzymes™: Digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas and
hydrochloric acid produced by the stomach begin to decrease with age, making
it more difficult to digest and metabolize the nutrients (or lack of) from
the food we eat. Mixing carbohydrates with proteins also make digestion more
difficult. The solution is to support the body with a broad spectrum
digestive aid. I have personally taken this product with 99.9% of every meal
since 1993. Digestive enzymes are also a large component in alternative
cancer treatments.
Ultra
Supreme Greens™: Again I would need a book to do this justice.
Chlorophyll is a purification substance, an alkalizing substance, a natural
body deodorizer - from the inside out. In a nutshell, acidic bodies are bad.
They facilitate degenerative diseases to form, progress, and spread.
Alkaline bodies promote health and innate (from within) healing. Ultra
Supreme Greens™ also contain many other beneficial phyto-nutrients and
antioxidant components.

Nervous (brain, nerves, and spinal chord ) and circulatory (in the blood)
lecithin is produced by the liver if the diet is adequate. It is needed by
every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes;
without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation
(oxidation is a bad thing - it's what makes nails rust). The way I describe
it to my clients is that without lecithin, as we age, our brain or skin goes
from a soft juicy plum to a hard dry prune. That is one of the mechanisms
behind Alzheimer's - dehydration of the brain - but instead of water
evaporation it's "evaporation" of phospholipids (Lecithin).
Ultra Omega 3, 6, 9™:
Essential fatty acids are not produced within the body. They must be
obtained from dietary sources and our bodies can't fight inflammation
without them. Since the early part of the last century we have processed out
almost all EFA's from our food. Inflammation is one of the primary
components of almost every disease (cancer, arthritis, autoimmune diseases,
allergies, etc....) Vioxx, Celebrex, Prednisone, Voltaren, Sulfasalazine,
Motrin, Aspirin, and many other prescription medications have done little to
curb the tide of this epidemic. Only by adding EFA's back into the diet will
we, as a society, begin to see a decrease in inflammatory related diseases.
Lastly, just because I take nutritional supplements doesn't mean I can
slack-off on my intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. My wife, being a
personal trainer and diet consultant, makes sure we eat a low carbohydrate,
low fat, high fruit and vegetable diet. I am 42.5 years of age, I have never
had to take a medication and have not stepped foot in an MD's office since I
was 5. I attribute this to my nutritional supplements that I started taking
at 19, eating a clean diet, and exercising daily.
Health is really something almost everyone can have. All one needs are
the right ingredients, knowledgeable coaches, a goal, and putting in the
effort to achieve that goal.
Yours truly,
Marcus Ettinger B.Sc., D.C.
