6. JAMA, 19 June 2002
“Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.”
Robert H. Fletcher, MD, MSc; Kathleen M. Fairfield, MD, DrPH, Harvard University. Journal of the American Medical Association 2002; 287:

4-5 oranges weekly to prevent tooth loss from scurvy
dozen oranges a day for effective antioxidant activity
Vitamin E

high sources only available in fatty food - obesity
B-vitamins

15. Two Scientific Studies Proving LifePak’s Antioxidant Effects
Protection of LDL against free radicals
Vitamin E
b-Carotene

16. Essential Fatty Acids
Balance intake of essential fatty acids (more omega-3, less omega-6).
EFAs have numerous health benefits, including helping restore damaged skin, and maintaining moist and smooth skin.
Double-blind study in The Lancet found omega-3s may address symptoms associated with certain problem skin conditions.
Omega-3s found in fish, flaxseed, and certain food supplements.
