    Lab Creation Loose in Your Vitamin E

    It’s a shame that journalists with no medical knowledge keep trying to scare you about vitamin E.

    First they reported vitamin E caused lung cancer, and now it’s prostate cancer.

    One patient of mine who had prostate cancer, John M., wrote me saying, “Help! I take 600 IU a day. I am in the middle of pouring through the information and am wondering… could it possibly be that the push for this vitamin has lead to prostate cancers? I am perplexed.”

    Today I want to help you cut through this mess, and show you what’s really going on with vitamin E, and how you can benefit the most from it.

    Are You Taking the Right Vitamin E for Your Heart?

    I see a lot of reports and read a lot of studies on vitamin E. You may have, too.

    Like the study where researchers gave athletes only 200 mg of vitamin E for only 21 days and concluded that vitamin E has no cardiopulmonary benefit.

    Or how about the group of researchers who looked at 11 high-dose vitamin E studies and concluded that the more vitamin E you take, the greater your risk of dying?

    Another you may have heard of is the lung cancer study where researchers found multivitamins, vitamins C, E and folate don’t reduce lung cancer risk. But that vitamin E may increase your risk.

    If you conclude from this that researchers are out to get vitamin E, I wouldn’t blame you…

    Most Doctors Make This Mistake…

    When I see patients here at my clinic, there’s one thing I recommend more than anything else. And it’s not a drug.

    It’s so critical to health and longevity, just about everyone I see needs at least 50 mg a day.

    I take it myself everyday… without fail.

    This nutrient is essential if you:

    * Are concerned about the pumping power of your heart…
    * Want to support your brain and ensure a continuous supply of energy…
    * Are having those “senior moments”…
    * Worry about feeling blue…
    * Want to support a strong immune system…

    Know you don’t have the energy you used to and need an extra boost to keep going…

    The Vitamin E You’ve Never Heard Of…

    Are you taking the right vitamin E for your heart?

    Most people don’t know this, but there are eight forms of vitamin E: four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. While they’re all antioxidants, the differences between them could easily fill a book.
