What about this for a supplement regime?

What about this for a supplement regime?

*This was a question raised on Warren's Blog where you can find many comments regarding this question and various others.

Question: from David

What would the effect be of taking a multiple of your products? Apart from popping pills all day, I thought the following regime looked interesting to me:

Total Balance Men's Premium
Omega 3 / DHA
Neuro-Natural Memory
Male rejuvenator
Viral Protec...

and possibly but not necessarily as a preventative measure Bone-protec, Cholest-Natural and Cardio-Klenz.

Having a family history of late onset diabetes I would look at Dizbet- Eze as well.

While obviously a regime such as this would be quite expensive, would there be any reason to avoid such a path or would dosage be different because some ingredients are used across multiple products?

Answer: from Warren

Here are my thoughts on this regime:

Total Balance Men's Premium at full dose. (7 tabs a day)
Omega 3 DHA Fish oil at 2 or maybe 3 soft gels per day.
Neuro-Natural Memory at half dose - 3 tablets a day.
Male Rejuvenator at half dose - 3 tablets a day.

No need for Viral-Protec as you would be getting enough protection from the TB Premium.

Not really any need for Bone-Protec unless you have a proven calcium deficiency given that you will be taking Total Balance. Total Balance will help reduce the risk of calcium leaching from your bones and that is even more important than taking extra calcium, so it should not be necessary.

No need for Cholest-Natural unless you have significantly elevated cholesterol. Even then you would only need to take it for maybe 3 months because as from then on the cholesterol lowering nutrients in Total Balance should keep it in balance.

No need for the Cardio-Klenz unless you are over 40 in which case taking it for 6 months only might be a sensible thing to do as insurance...but I would wait until you have been on the current regime for a few months first. The new Total Balance Premium does contain many heart healthy nutrients which will help clean the arteries, such as Nattokinase.

No need for the Diabet-eze either. A family history of it does not necessarily dispose you to getting it, provided you maintain a sensible diet. Once again there are nutrients in Total Balance that help maintain healthy blood sugar balances etc.

The above adjustments would create a regime very similar to my own. The only difference is that I do take 4 tabs of Cardio-Klenz a day, not because I have any heart issues but as I am 61 I want to ensure that I am doing all I can to keep my arteries in optimal health.

    Hi Warren

    I am a big fan of your skincare products and am impressed with the amount and quality of your R&D.

    I am curious to know what your thoughts are with regard to derma rolling ( causing controlled inflammation) and whether it has a place in the battle against wrinkles?

    Thanks for your considertion

    Hi Suzanne
     
    I'm replying on behalf of Warren as he is currently on a remote island in Tahiti with limited access to the Internet.
     
    I have passed your question re: derma rolling onto our scientific panel of experts. I expect an answer from them within a day or two. I'll be sure to email you their feedback and will re-post the answer here on the blog.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Suzanne

    Ultimately it is my opinion that this is a potentially damaging procedure for the skin, and given that there are other less invasive alternatives, I don't believe this is really necessary, or that helpful. The concept behind it is scientifically correct in that when the skin is damaged it is of course then encouraged to repair itself. However, deliberately (albeit by very small holes) damaging the skin to encourage repair isn't a positive practice.

    Encouragement of new skin cells can be achieved through providing the right ingredients to the skin, and dermabrasion of course doesn't cover more than this...whereas other potential applications, such as the ingredients we use in our skincare range for example, or the anti-aging projections of our Total Balance and Omega 3 Premium, also cover protection and rejuvenation of essential collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid at a cellular level, and with increased additional effects of helping to provide relief to the skin or strengthening of the skin to many other unrelated skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, and sun damage.
     
    So this is a much more proactive way to help the skin, longer-term, without damaging it and without the unknown longer-term effects dermabrasion may cause.
