Scalar Frequency Healing
Description
The table below lists the vitamins and minerals that were imprinted into the Vitamins & Minerals Wellness Aid.
Vitamins & Minerals Protocol
Vitamins and Minerals included – Carry for a minumum of 20-60 minutes a day. Research has shown that your body will only use the amount of the frequencies that it needs, so longer-term use is not a problem. Stickers: stick on water bottle, cup, or pitcher of water to imprint water with nutrients. Takes 5 min. When you drink the water, you are getting the frequencies. The amount of water doesn’t matter. One drop or one glass simply gives your body those frequencies to work with.

We have done our best to explain the values of each of the nutrients contained in the Vitamins & Minerals Wellness Aid below. It’s a long list, so be prepared!
Also, keep in mind as you read, that you cannot overdose with our Scalar Energy Wellness Aids. When you use frequencies to help the body heal, the body is intelligent and will only use what it actually needs to get better. And who would know better than Your Body?
Vitamin A
Vitamin A helps form and maintain healthy teeth, skeletal and soft tissue, mucus membranes, and skin. It is also known as retinol because it produces the pigments in the retina of the eye. Vitamin A plays an essential role in the immune response, and promotes good vision, especially in low light. It may also be needed for reproduction and breastfeeding.
Dietary vitamin A is derived from a variety of carotenoids found in plants. One such carotenoid is beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect cells from damage caused by substances called free radicals. Free radicals are believed to contribute to certain chronic diseases and play a role in the aging processes. Food sources of carotenoids such as beta-carotene may reduce the risk for cancer. Beta-carotene supplements do not seem to reduce cancer risk.
Vitamin A comes from animal sources, such as eggs, meat, fortified milk, cheese, cream, liver, kidney, cod, and halibut fish oil. It is enriched in the liver, egg yolks, and the fat component of dairy products.
The best sources of vitamin A are:
- Cod liver oil
- Eggs
- Orange and yellow vegetables and fruits
Other sources of beta-carotene are:
- Broccoli
- Spinach
- Most dark green, leafy vegetables
The more intense the color of a fruit or vegetable, the higher the beta-carotene content. Vegetable sources of beta-carotene are fat- and cholesterol-free. The absorption will be improved if these sources are consumed with a fat.
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
ALA is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid. It is a component of many common vegetable oils and is important to human nutrition.
ALA intake can decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases by:
- Preventing arrhythmias that can lead to sudden cardiac death
- Decreasing the risk of thrombosis (blood clot formation) that can lead to heart attack or stroke
- Decreasing serum triglyceride levels
- Slowing the growth of atherosclerotic plaque
- Improving vascular endothelial function
- Lowering blood pressure slightly
- Decreasing inflammation
ALA deficiencies can lead to visual problems and sensory neuropathy. Scaly and hemorrhagic skin or scalp inflammations may also develop. Alpha-lipoic acid and Biotin (vitamin B7) taken together can each reduce the body’s absorption of the other. For this reason, we do not include Biotin in our Vitamins & Minerals Wellness Aid.
Dihomo gamma-linolenic acid (DHLA) and Gamolenic acid (GLA)
These 2 acids are n-6 (omega-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids and are both converted into prostaglandin E1, in the body, which inhibits platelet aggregation and also exerts a vasodilatory effect. In other words, they thin the blood and lower blood pressure.
DHLA has also been shown to reduce the production/activity of tumor necrosis factor alpha.
Calcium
Calcium plays a vital role in the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of organisms and of the cell, particularly in signal transduction pathways.
The best-absorbed form of calcium from a pill is a calcium salt like carbonate or phosphate. Calcium gluconate and calcium lactate are absorbed well by pregnant women. Seniors absorb calcium lactate, gluconate and citrate better unless they take their calcium supplement with a full breakfast.
Phosphorus and magnesium, help the body absorb and use calcium. Vitamin D is also needed to help your body use calcium.
Chromium
Chromium is important in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. It stimulates fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, which are important for brain function and other body processes. Chromium also aids in insulin action and glucose metabolism.
The best source of chromium is brewer’s yeast. However, many people do not use brewer’s yeast because it causes bloating ( abdominal distention ) and nausea. Meat and whole grain products are relatively good sources.
Other good sources of chromium include the following:
- Beef
- Liver
- Eggs
- Chicken
- Oysters
- Wheat germ
- Broccoli
- Black pepper
- Molasses
Chromium deficiency may be seen as impaired glucose tolerance. It occurs in older people with type 2 diabetes and in infants with protein-calorie malnutrition. Taking a chromium supplement may help, but it is not a substitute for other treatment. Because of the low absorption and high excretion rates of chromium, toxicity is not common.
Iodine
Iodine is needed for the cells to convert food into energy. Humans need iodine for normal thyroid function, and for the production of thyroid hormones.
Iodized salt is table salt with iodine added. It is the main food source of iodine. However, I would highly recommend that you use a natural sea salt, celtic salt or the Pink Himilayan salt rather than the highly processed iodized salt. They contain just as much salt as the processed/bleached version of table salt, that they had to replace the iodine in after processing it all out.
Seafood is naturally rich in iodine. Cod, sea bass, haddock, and perch are good sources. Kelp is the most common vegetable-seafood that is a rich source of iodine. You can even use it as a substitute for salt, if you don’t mind the extra flavor. 🙂
Dairy products also contain iodine. Other good sources are plants grown in iodine-rich soil.
Lack of enough iodine (deficiency) may occur in places that have iodine-poor soil. Many months of iodine deficiency in a person’s diet may cause goiter or hypothyroidism.
So, what else is Iodine used for?
It is also used for treating a skin disease caused by a fungus (cutaneous sporotrichosis); treating fibrocystic breast disease and breast pain (mastalgia); weight loss; preventing breast cancer, eye disease, diabetes, and heart disease and stroke; and as an expectorant. Iodine is also used for serious bacterial diseases called anthrax and syphilis. Iodine is also used to for radiation emergencies, to protect the thyroid gland against radioactive iodides.
Potassium iodide should only be used in a radiation emergency, not in advance of an emergency to prevent sickness. Iodine is applied to the skin for skin inflammation (dermatitis) and other skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis, to kill germs and heal wounds, to prevent soreness inside the mouth or along the digestive tract (mucositis), and treat diabetic and other external ulcers.
Iodine is also applied inside the mouth to treat gum disease (periodontitis) and reduce bleeding after the removal of a tooth. Iodine can also be used as a throat rinse to reduce symptoms of pneumonia. Iodine is used in the eyes to reduce swelling in infants and to prevent vision loss in patients with ulcers of the cornea. Iodine is used in the vagina to prevent post-Cesarean swelling of the lining of the uterus. Iodine is injected into a portion of the pelvis to treat a condition called chyluria. Iodine is also used for water purification.
Magnesium
Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body and feeds the brain of every cell. It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, keeps the heart beat steady, and helps bones remain strong. It also helps regulate blood glucose levels and aid in the production of energy and protein.
Sadly, magnesium supplements have a low rate of absorption. Magnesium has a much better absorption rate when applied topically. Magnesium chloride has elevated level of bioavailability, as high as 90%. The mineral showed the highest rate of absorption ability in several studies.
Due to its bioavailability, with very low to zero effect to people with renal or kidney issues, magnesium chloride, or magnesium oil, is considered the most absorbable magnesium. Magnesium oil will stop muscle cramps in their tracks, when applied and rubbed in.
Diets high in protein, calcium, or vitamin D will increase the need for magnesium.
What are the tell tale signs that you may be deficient?
- muscle weakness or numbness
- fatigue
- mood changes
- muscle cramps
- irregular heartbeat
Why magnesium may be low in the body?
- Normally, we would get magnesium from food: pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, and dark leafy green vegetables. However, considering that our soils are becoming increasingly deficient in minerals and therefore our food, it is difficult to eat your way to the amounts of magnesium one would require.
- The use of many medications (ie., Proton Pump inhibitors, Antacids, Diuretics, Birth Control Pills).
- Digestive issues can cause low magnesium status in the body.
- Alcohol intake or alcohol dependence
- Magnesium exits the body through urine, sweat, vomiting and bowel movements. Too much of these can lower magnesium status.
Side effects from increased magnesium intake are not common. The body generally removes excess amounts. You can tell if you are getting too much magnesium because your stools will become loose.
Manganese
Manganese is a mineral that is found in several foods including nuts, legumes, seeds, tea, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables. It is considered an essential nutrient, because the body requires it to function properly.
People use manganese as medicine. Manganese is taken by mouth for prevention and treatment of manganese deficiency. It is also used for weak bones (osteoporosis), painful joints (osteoarthritis), a type of tired blood (anemia), weight loss, and symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Manganese is used by IV for manganese deficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and as a trace element in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) preparations. Manganese is applied to the skin for wound healing.
Manganese is an essential nutrient involved in many chemical processes in the body, including processing of cholesterol, carbohydrates, and protein. It might also be involved in bone formation.
if you are taking it as a supplement, do not take more than 11 mg per day.
Molybdenum
As it is not a naturally occuring free metal on Earth, molybdenum is found only in various oxidation states in minerals. Molybdenum is commonly used in metallurgy and other chemical applications however it has essential biological roles in organisms and microorganisms.
It is an essential trace dietary element and acts as a critical cofactor in several molybdenum-dependent enzymes that are involved in important cellular reactions and pathways, including xanthine oxidoreductase.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is a mineral the body needs to build strong bones and teeth. It is also important for nerve signaling and muscle contraction.
The main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. It plays an important role in how the body uses carbohydrates and fats. It is also needed for the body to make protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues.
Phosphorus also helps the body make ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy. Phosphorus works with the B vitamins.
It also helps with the following:
- Kidney function
- Muscle contractions
- Normal heartbeat
- Nerve signaling
The main food sources are the protein food groups of meat and milk. A diet that includes the right amounts of calcium and protein will also provide enough phosphorus. Whole-grain breads and cereals contain more phosphorus than cereals and breads made from refined flour. However, the phosphorus is stored in a form that is not absorbed by humans. Fruits and vegetables contain only small amounts of phosphorus.
Phosphorus is readily available in the food supply so deficiency is rare. Excessively high levels of phosphorus in the blood, although rare, can combine with calcium to form deposits in soft tissues such as muscle. High levels of phosphorus in blood only occur in people with severe kidney disease or severe dysfunction of their calcium regulation.
Potassium
Potassium is a very important mineral for the human body. Your body needs potassium to:
- Build proteins
- Break down and use carbohydrates
- Build muscle
- Maintain normal body growth
- Control the electrical activity of the heart
- Control the acid-base balance
Many foods contain potassium. All meats (red meat and chicken) and fish such as salmon, cod, flounder, and sardines are good sources of potassium. Soy products and veggie burgers are also good sources of potassium. Vegetables including broccoli, peas, lima beans, tomatoes, potatoes (especially their skins), sweet potatoes, and winter squash are all good sources of potassium.
Fruits that contain significant amounts of potassium include citrus fruits, cantaloupe, bananas, kiwi, prunes, and apricots. Dried apricots contain more potassium than fresh apricots. Milk, yogurt, and nuts are also excellent sources of potassium. People with kidney problems, especially those on dialysis, should not eat too many potassium-rich foods.
Having too much or too little potassium in the body can cause serious health problems. A low blood level of potassium is called hypokalemia. It can cause weak muscles, abnormal heart rhythms, and a slight rise in blood pressure. You may have hypokalemia if you:
- Take diuretics (water pills) to treat high blood pressure or heart failure
- Take too many laxatives
- Have severe or prolonged vomiting and diarrhea
- Have certain kidney or adrenal gland disorders
Too much potassium in the blood is known as hyperkalemia. It may cause abnormal and dangerous heart rhythms. Some common causes include:
- Poor kidney function
- Heart medicines called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin 2 receptor blockers (ARBs)
- Potassium-sparing diuretics (water pills) such as spironolactone or amiloride
- Severe infection
Selenium
Selenium is a trace mineral. Your body only needs it in small amounts. Selenium helps your body make special proteins, called antioxidant enzymes. These play a role in preventing cell damage.
Some research suggests that selenium may help with the following:
- Prevent certain cancers
- Protect the body from the poisonous effects of heavy metals and other harmful substances
Plant foods, such as vegetables, are the most common dietary sources of selenium. How much selenium is in the vegetables you eat depends on how much of the mineral was in the soil where the plants grew.
Brazil nuts are a very good source of selenium. Fish, shellfish , red meat, grains, eggs, chicken, liver, and garlic are also good sources. Meats produced from animals that ate grains or plants found in selenium-rich soil have higher levels of selenium. Brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, and enriched breads are also good sources of selenium.
Sulfur si
Sulfur si is needed for supporting the liver, bile production, skin health, and healing wounds.
Zinc
Zinc is found in cells throughout the body. It is needed for the body’s defensive (immune) system to properly work. It plays a role in cell division, cell growth, wound healing, and the breakdown of carbohydrates. Zinc is also needed for the senses of smell and taste.
During pregnancy, infancy, and childhood the body needs zinc to grow and develop properly. Zinc also enhances the action of insulin.
Recent information from an expert review on zinc supplements showed that: When taken for at least 5 months, zinc may reduce your risk of becoming sick with the common cold. Starting to take zinc supplements within 24 hours after cold symptoms begin may reduce how long the symptoms last and make the symptoms less severe.
Animal proteins are a good source of zinc. Beef, pork, and lamb contain more zinc than fish. The dark meat of a chicken has more zinc than the light meat. Other good sources of zinc are nuts, whole grains, legumes, and yeast. Fruits and vegetables are not good sources, because the zinc in plant proteins is not as available for use by the body as the zinc from animal proteins. Therefore, low-protein diets and vegetarian diets tend to be low in zinc.
Symptoms of zinc deficiency include:
- Frequent infections
- Hypogonadism in males
- Loss of hair
- Poor appetite
- Problems with the sense of taste
- Problems with the sense of smell
- Skin sores
- Slow growth
- Trouble seeing in the dark
- Wounds that take a long time to heal
Zinc supplements taken in large amounts may cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. These symptoms most often appear within 3 to 10 hours of swallowing the supplements. The symptoms go away within a short period of time after stopping the supplements. An excess intake of zinc can lead to copper or iron deficiency. People who use nasal sprays and gels that contain zinc may have side effects, such as losing their sense of smell.
Thiamine (B1)
Thiamine is a vitamin, also called vitamin B1. Thiamine has many functions, but helping to process sugars and amino acids is at the top of the list. Turns out, thiamine is only stored for a short while before your body excretes it.
When vitamin B1 breaks down sugars and amino acids, their parts make other molecules. Your body needs these to function properly. Sufficient thiamine levels are needed to fend off lactic acidosis, the buildup of lactate in the body.
Now, enzymes help create chemical reactions in your body. But unfortunately, low thiamine levels can result in sluggish enzymatic activity. A deficiency of thiamine can slow down your energy and the reactions that support cell life.
Vitamin B1 is found in many foods including nutritional yeast, cereal grains, beans, nuts, meat, omega-3 eggs, asparagus, and kale. Supplements can be added to your diet to make sure you’re getting the right amount of B1. It is often used in combination with other B vitamins, and found in many vitamin B complex products.
Vitamin B complexes generally include:
- vitamin B1 (thiamine)
- vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
- vitamin B3 (niacin/niacinamide)
- vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
- vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
- vitamin B9 (folic acid)
- vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
However, some products do not contain all of these ingredients and some may include others, such as biotin, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), choline bitartrate, and inositol.
People take thiamine for conditions related to low levels of thiamine (thiamine deficiency syndromes), including beriberi and inflammation of the nerves (neuritis) associated with pellagra or pregnancy.
Thiamine is also used for –

Healthcare providers give thiamine shots for a memory disorder called Wernicke’s encephalopathy syndrome, other thiamine deficiency syndromes in critically ill people, alcohol withdrawal, and coma.
Riboflavin (B2)
Riboflavin or vitamin B2 is an easily absorbed, water-soluble micronutrient with a key role in maintaining human health. Like the other B vitamins, it supports energy production by aiding in the metabolizing of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Vitamin B2 is also required for red blood cell formation and respiration, antibody production, and for regulating human growth and reproduction.
It is essential for healthy skin, nails, hair growth and general good health, including regulating thyroid activity. Riboflavin also helps in the prevention or treatment of many types of eye disorders, including some cases of cataracts.
It helps in the making of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (or ATP). This is where the cells in your body get their energy. Riboflavin can help reduce the presence of pathogens in the blood.
When you’re dealing with a riboflavin deficiency, you may experience symptoms like —
- Itching of the skin
- Headaches
- Fatigue3
Riboflavin occurs naturally in the following foods:
- Dairy products
- Eggs
- Green leafy vegetables
- Lean meats
- Organ meats, such as liver and kidneys
- Legumes
- Milk
- Nuts
You can also feast on mushrooms, and wild-caught fish which are also good sources of riboflavin. And of course, make sure that the meat you get is free-range, grass-fed meat.
Some people take riboflavin supplements by mouth to prevent low levels of riboflavin (riboflavin deficiency) in the body, for various types of cancer, and for migraine headaches.
It is also taken by mouth for –
- acne
- muscle cramps
- burning feet syndrome
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- and blood disorders such as congenital methemoglobinemia and red blood cell aplasia
Some people use riboflavin for eye conditions including eye fatigue, cataracts, and glaucoma.
Some people also take riboflavin by mouth to –
- maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails
- to slow aging
- for canker sores
- multiple sclerosis
- memory loss including Alzheimer’s disease
- high blood pressure
- burns
- liver disease
- sickle cell anemia
Inositol nicotinate (B3)
If you are familiar with the hot flush you get when taking niacin, you’re going to love Inositol nicotinate also known as ‘no-flush niacin’. Inositol nicotinate is just one of the forms of vitamin B3.
It is associated with reduced flushing compared to other vasodilators by being broken down into the metabolites and inositol at a slower rate. Nicotinic acid plays an essential role in many important metabolic processes and is a lipid-regulating agent that reduces the levels of plasma triglycerides, LDL (low-density lipoproteins) known as “Bad Cholesterol”, while increasing levels of HDL (high-density lipoproteins) or “Good Cholesterol”.
It also has a fibrinolytic effect (the breaking-down of blood clots) on the cardiovascular system. Niacin also plays a pretty significant part in the production of ATP.
Vitamin B Niacin helps —
- Break down dietary fats
- Process carbohydrates
- Break down proteins and absorption
- Synthesize carbohydrates and fatty acids
Niacin deficiency can cause some troubling issues. But if you grace your plate with the good fats from wild-caught salmon or avocado, or use our Vitamins & Minerals Wellness Aid, you shouldn’t have a problem. And if you eat a lot of carbohydrates, you’ll really need vitamin B3.
Adenine (B4)
Adenine (sometimes known as vitamin B4) combines with the sugar ribose to form adenosine, which in turn can be bonded with from one to three phosphoric acid units, yielding AMP, ADP and ATP .
AMP stands for adenosine monophosphate, the basic structure for ADP and ATP. It is a substance the body creates on the way to making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a source of energy used throughout the body. It’s also one of the components of RNA and also the organic component of the energy-carrying molecule ATP. In certain vital metabolic processes, AMP combines with inorganic phosphate to form ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and then ATP.
ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate, and it’s not only one of the most important molecules in the body, it’s also one of the most numerous. ADP is an ingredient for DNA, it’s essential for muscle contraction and it even helps initiate healing when a blood vessel is breached. It’s an intermediate between ATP and AMP and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells.
ATP stands for Adenosine triphosphate. It’s a small molecule that acts as a coenzyme within a cell. The main role of ATP is to provide energy. Other reactions that require energy from ATP include; active transport/ muscle contraction/ glycolysis.
These adenine derivatives perform important functions in cellular metabolism. Adenine is one of four nitrogenous bases utilized in the synthesis of nucleic acids. A modified form of adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP) is an important secondary messenger in the propagation of many hormonal stimuli.
Adenine is an integral part of the structure of many coenzymes. In individuals suspected of suffering from a supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), adenosine is used to help identify the rhythm. Certain SVTs can be successfully terminated with adenosine.
Pantothenic acid (B5)
Pantothenic acid, also called pantothenate or vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin.
It is an essential nutrient as it is required to synthesize coenzyme-A (CoA), as well as to synthesize and metabolize proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
B5 helps the production of enzymes. These enzymes facilitate fatty acid synthesis, and breakdown is a top priority. Pantothenic acid also helps build and break down cells. Your red blood cells carry pantothenic acid throughout your body for these purposes.
Don’t worry much about getting vitamin B5… small quantities of pantothenic acid are found in nearly every food, with high amounts in whole-grain cereals, legumes, eggs, meat, royal jelly, avocado, and yogurt. The recommended dietary allowance for vitamin B5 is about 5 mg per day — for men and women. And pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers… you can up your daily intake to 7 mg to avoid deficiency. Up your pantothenic acid intake by going for grass-fed beef or pasture-raised chicken.
Pantothenic acid has a long list of uses, although there isn’t enough scientific evidence to determine whether it is effective for most of these uses.
People take pantothenic acid for:
|
|
|
It is also taken by mouth for:
|
|
|
Pyridoxine (B6)
Water-soluble vitamins like pyridoxine can make a good impact on your health. Vitamin B6 helps maintain nerve health, skin health, and the health of your red blood cells.
Maybe that’s because vitamin B6 is one of the most relied on molecules in the cells of all living things. Vitamin B6 helps to regulate your cellular metabolism. It is also crucial for the production of amino acids. It can help make serotonin, and dopamine, too.
If you don’t get pyridoxine, you could experience low energy levels. And you’ll want to make sure you get your vitamin B6. Turns out, pyridoxine (like all B vitamins) is water soluble. You can lose a lot of its nutrient power when you urinate.
Vitamin B6 has been found to lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a small group of subjects with essential hypertension. Hypertension is another risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Another study showed pyridoxine hydrochloride to inhibit ADP- or epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation and to lower total cholesterol levels and increase HDL-cholesterol levels, again in a small group of subjects.
Human studies have demonstrated that vitamin B6 deficiency affects cellular and humoral responses of the immune system. Vitamin B6 deficiency results in altered lymphocyte differentiation and maturation, reduced delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses, impaired antibody production, decreased lymphocyte proliferation and decreased interleukin (IL)-2 production, among other immunologic activities.
Levomefolic Acid (B9)
Vitamin B9 is a big deal for pregnant women and early infancy support. That’s because folic acid is essential for the synthesis of nucleic acids and amino acids. These acids are necessary for rapid cell division and DNA replication.
Rapid cell division is crucial during pregnancy and in the production of red blood cells. This is because red blood cells have a rapid turnover rate. But dietary supplements of folic acid and iron may help.
Levomefolic acid is the metabolite of folic acid (Vitamin B9) and it is a predominant active form of folate found in foods and in the blood circulation, accounting for 98% of folates in human plasma. It is transported across the membranes including the blood-brain barrier into various tissues where it plays an essential role in the DNA synthesis, cysteine cycle and regulation of homocysteine, where it methylates homocysteine and forms methionine and tetrahydrofolate (THF).
Levomefolate is approved as a food additive and is designated a GRAS (generally regarded as safe) compound. Supplementation of levomefolic acid is desired over folic acid due to reduced potential for masking vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms.
It regulates important cellular functions such as:
- DNA biosynthesis
- gene expression regulation
- amino acid synthesis and metabolism
- myelin synthesis and repair.
As the only form of folate that can cross the blood-brain barrier, it acts as a cofactor in the production of monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine.
ONE MORE WORD ABOUT FOLIC ACID
Leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach are great sources of folate. On occasion, add folic acid to your diet with in-season citrus fruits. But make sure to eat the whole fruit… the juice alone is too sugary.
Hydroxocobalamin (B12)
Vitamin B12 can help maintain the health of your neurological brain tissue. It’s also used in cyanide poisoning, Leber’s optic atrophy, toxic amblyopia, and is necessary for DNA synthesis and cellular energy production.
It is a water-soluble vitamin that’s essential to red blood cell production, healthy brain and nerve function, as well DNA synthesis.
Overall, vitamin B12 acts as a coenzyme for various metabolic functions, including fat and carbohydrate metabolism and protein synthesis. It is necessary for growth, cell replication, hematopoiesis, and nucleoprotein as well as myelin synthesis.
Make sure you’re getting calcium, as it’s needed to offset stomach acid for better B12 absorption. Calcium is included in our Vitamins & Minerals Wellness Aid.
It’s estimated that somewhere between 1.5 percent to 15 percent of the general American population is vitamin B12-deficient, and your chances of being deficient only increase as you age. Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms can include depression, confusion, poor memory, balance problems, tingling and numbness in the hands and feet, and more. B12 deficiency has also been associated with compromised eye health and could cause a loss of nerve sensation or other neurological issues.
Even a mild vitamin B12 deficiency can result in impaired mental function and low energy. Vitamin B12 also plays a role in the formation of red blood cells, so a deficiency can lead to the production of large, immature cells that are unable to properly carry oxygen.
Benefits of vitamin B12 are vast and include:
- Boosting Energy
- Reducing Depression
- Decreasing Sugar Cravings
- Lowering Neurological Degeneration
- Possible Cancer Preventer
- Boosts Brain Health
- May Prevent Depression
- Anemia Prevention
- Encourages Optimal Energy Levels
- Fights Heart Disease
Here are just some of the vitamin B12 foods you can consume on a regular basis to make sure you get enough of this essential vitamin in your diet:
- Beef liver: 1 ounce: 20 micrograms (over 300 percent DV)
- Sardines: 3 ounces: 6.6 micrograms (over 100 percent DV)
- Atlantic mackerel: 3 ounces: 7.4 micrograms (over 100 percent DV)
- Lamb: 3 ounces: 2.7 micrograms (45 percent DV)
- Wild-caught salmon: 3 ounces: 2.6 micrograms (42 percent DV)
- Nutritional yeast: 1 tablespoon: 2.4 micrograms (40 percent DV)
- Feta cheese: 0.5 cup: 1.25 micrograms (21 percent DV)
- Grass-fed beef: 3 ounces: 1.2 micrograms (20 percent DV)
- Cottage Cheese: 1 cup: 0.97 micrograms (16 percent DV)
- Eggs: 1 large: 0.6 micrograms (11 percent DV)
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, meaning your body can’t produce it. Yet, it has many roles and has been linked to impressive health benefits.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for many reasons. Also known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C is water-soluble, so it can’t be stored in large amounts by the body. You’ve got to ingest it daily. Vitamin C is crucial for skin, bones, ligaments, tendons, teeth, eyes, and blood vessels. It also helps with stress and anxiety.
You may have heard of vitamin C as a cold remedy or as something to take to “boost your immune system”. But while it is an essential nutrient for a healthy functioning immune system, it does not “boost” immune activity. Rather, it supports your immune system’s defenses against viruses, bacteria and other invaders.
Vitamin C is important for protecting immune cells. Your immune cells, lymphocytes specifically, produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are great in defending against foreign invaders, but can also damage the immune cells themselves. Because vitamin C is an antioxidant, it provides protection for these important cells. These lymphocytes will actual increase the levels of vitamin C they have in order to protect themselves, which is one reason why the body may require increased levels of vitamin C.
In addition, vitamin C supports your immune system in producing white blood cells and helping these cells (specifically lymphocytes, neutrophils, and phagocytes) function at their best.
Besides supporting the immune system, vitamin C also acts as a natural antihistamine, which is great news for anyone who suffers from allergies.
Antioxidant Protection and More
Antioxidants protect you from free radicals, which are unstable molecules that are linked to disease and aging. Vitamin C is one of the most potent antioxidants, and can help increase the levels of antioxidants in your blood.
This in turn, helps prevent many chronic diseases. Antioxidants have been shown to fight heart disease, cancer, alzheimers, and help delay the physical effects of aging. In short, they’re super important for your health, and getting as many of them in your diet or through high quality supplementation is a really good idea.
Did you know vitamin C plays a key role in supporting hormone function and thyroid health? It has been shown to help regulate T3, T4, and TSH levels in thyroid patients.
Many studies have shown its efficacy in cases of bacteria and viral infection, including lung inflammation caused by the flu and pneumonia.
Vitamin C and iron are quite the dynamic duo. Vitamin C has been shown to help with the absorption of non-heme iron quite nicely. This is great news for anyone suffering from anemia. It’s also great for your cardiovascular system.
For Beautiful Skin
Vitamin C serums are amazing natural skin boosters, evening out redness and helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots. In addition, it seems to help increase collagen production, which as any woman in her forties knows, helps decrease fine lines and wrinkles. It’s antioxidant benefits also appear to help protect the skin from sun damage.
For Memory
Studies have shown that lower levels of vitamin C may correspond with impaired cognitive function. And oxidative stress is likely a key factor in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
It stands to reason then, that studies have shown that when vitamin C intake increases, levels of dementia and cognitive decline decreases. This appears to hold true whether vitamins are ingested in supplement or whole food form.
Foods That are Rich in Vitamin C
Vitamin C is found abundantly in whole foods, especially raw fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin C rich foods include:

What Form of Vitamin C is Best?
There’s very little evidence that any one form is more effective or that it is better absorbed.
Ascorbic Acid
Ascorbic Acid may be difficult on the digestive system for those with known ulcers or sensitive stomachs. if you find this is difficult on your digestion, you may want to try taking it with food or opting for a buffered vitamin C version. Buffered vitamin C can be gentler on the digestive tract, but it may be absorbed slightly less. And when I say slightly, understand that it is not a huge absorption difference.
Intravenous Vitamin C
Vitamin C that’s delivered through an IV directly into the bloodstream appears to be the most advantageous in circumstances where large amounts of vitamin C are needed quickly.
Liposomal Vitamin C
Liposomal, or lipospheric, vitamin C is a vitamin that has been combined with very small fat-like particles. The liposomes help deliver the nutrient they’re combined with quickly and effectively. Research suggests that liposomal vitamin C is slightly more effective at producing circulating levels of vitamin C than the plain version of the vitamin, but not as effective as when it’s introduced intravenously.
Making liposomal forms of vitamins is difficult, so quality matters. If you’re opting for this version, make sure you’re getting it from a company you trust.
How Much Vitamin C Is Too Much?
Since vitamin C can’t really be stored by the body, it’s hard to take too much of it. For the most part, your body will excrete any excess vitamin C it can’t use in your urine.
Higher doses of vitamin C may cause some gastrointestinal issues like nausea and diarrhea. This is why it is advised to take in divided doses. In times of illness, it has been observed that higher doses are more tolerable compared to when someone is not currently ill.
If you’ve ever heard, “take it until bowel tolerance” then what that means is to take vitamin C until you develop loose stools and then backing off to the dose that didn’t cause that issue.
Symptoms Of Vitamin C Deficiency
In today’s society, vitamin C deficiency is somewhat rare. Most people get enough from foods that are fortified with vitamins at the very least. However, some segments of the population are at greater risk for deficiency, like smokers, alcoholics and those with eating disorders. By some estimates, 13% of the population may actually struggle with lower levels of vitamin C.
Vitamin C is indicated for the prevention and treatment of scurvy, as ascorbic acid deficiency results in scurvy. Collagenous structures are primarily affected, and lesions develop in bones and blood vessels. Administration of ascorbic acid completely reverses the symptoms of ascorbic acid deficiency.
However, let’s be clear that optimal and deficient are two different things and the absence of scurvy doesn’t mean your levels of vitamin C are sufficient for your needs.
Some of the signs that vitamin C deficiency may be an issue include:
- Poor immunity
- Lethargy
- Rough, dry skin
- Thin and brittle nails
- Bleeding gums
- Tooth loss
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Anemia
A Word of Caution:
If you’re currently on the oral contraceptive pill, then you should know that these can deplete your body of vitamins and nutrients. In addition to vitamin C, the pill has been shown to deplete B vitamins, vitamin E, and zinc, magnesium, and selenium. Pay close attention to your nutrition and fill in with a multivitamin or prenatal.
1alpha,24S-Dihydroxyvitamin D2 (LR-103)
LR-103 is a naturally occurring metabolite of vitamin D2 with low calcemic activity and potent antiproliferative activity, that is produced by the kidneys from vitamin D. LR-103 is one of the D-hormones produced from Hectorol. It is developed for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease and as a therapy for cancer.
LR-103 is effective in normalizing serum calcium and PTH (parathyroid hormone) levels without causing hypercalcemia. Importantly, LR-103 also normalized bone abnormalities consequent to SHPT (Secondary Hyperparathyroidism) and active vitamin D deficiency.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism occurs when the parathyroid glands become enlarged and release too much PTH, causing a high blood level of PTH. There are several reasons why this happens in patients with kidney disease:
- Higher blood phosphorus levels
- The kidneys cannot make active vitamin D (needed to absorb calcium)
- Lower blood calcium levels
The increased PTH secretion, in turn, causes increased calcium in the blood by acting on bones, intestines, and kidneys.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is common in people who have kidney failure (stage 5 kidney disease). It happens when your body’s levels of calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus are not in balance. It is important to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism to prevent it from causing other health problems, such as bone disease.
24-Homo-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
24-Homo-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is the hormonal form of vitamin D3. Vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 are the two main forms of vitamin D. Scientists sometimes call D2 ergocalciferol and D3 cholecalciferol .
Both play the same role in the body, but vitamins D2 and D3 have slightly different molecular structures. The main difference is that vitamin D2 comes from plants, whereas D3 comes from animals, including people.
Scientists are not sure yet if one is better than the other but a 2012 review indicated that Vitamin D3 may raise levels higher and for longer than D2.
You can meet your vitamin D needs with either form. But healthcare providers generally suggest D3 supplements.
That’s because it:
- Raises your overall vitamin D level more than D2
- Lasts longer in the body than D2
How Vitamin D Works
Vitamin D helps control how much calcium and phosphate you absorb from food.
Calcium is essential for bone health. Phosphate is needed for healthy bones, teeth, muscles, nerves, and basic bodily functions. It increases bone density and muscle mass.
Vitamin D is important for overall health. You get it from the sun, foods you eat, or supplements.
If you have too little, you may problems with your bones, muscles, immune system, and mood. You could also have more inflammation and pain. Low vitamin D puts you at risk for osteoporosis and other problems tied to weak bones. It may also lead to inflammatory diseases such as allergies and asthma, and also increase your odds of heart disease and stroke.
Health Benefits
Vitamin D3 offers many health benefits. It:
- Strengthens bones and muscles
- Boosts immunity
- Improves mood
- Reduces inflammation
- Improves heart function
Vitamin D may help your immune system fight off some illnesses, including COVID-19. It may also help alleviate depression symptoms.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) vitamin D recommendations are:
- 600 IU (international units) for adults up to age 70
- 800 IU per day for adults over 70
Most people can handle a maximum daily intake of 4,000 IU.
It’s hard to get enough D3 through diet alone. Eating more of the foods below can help.
| FOOD | IU | SERVING | % RDA* |
| Beef liver | 42 | 3 oz. | 5% |
| Butter | 9 | 1 Tbsp. | 1% |
| Cereal | 80 | 40 grams | 10% |
| Cheese | 12 | 1 oz. | 2% |
| Cod liver oil | 1,360 | 1 Tbsp. | 170% |
| Egg yolks | 44 | 1 yolk | 6% |
| Fresh salmon | 570 | 3 oz. | 71% |
| Halibut | 384 | .5 fillet | 48% |
| Mackerel | 360 | .5 fillet | 45% |
| Milk, fortified | 120 | 1 cup | 15% |
| Sardines | 46 | 2 fish | 6% |
| Trout | 645 | 3 oz. | 81% |
| Tuna | 40 | 3 oz. | 5% |
*Based on 800 IU per day.
You can also boost your vitamin D with foods that contain D2.
| FOOD | IU | SERVING | %RDA* |
| Almond, oat, or soy milk (fortified) | 100-144 | 1 cup | 13%-18% |
| Mushrooms (portabella) | 4 | .5 cup | 1% |
*Based on 800 IU per day.
If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, it’s harder to get enough D3 from food. Supplements may be more important for you.
If you don’t get much sun, use sunscreen regularly, or have darker skin, you likely won’t meet your vitamin D needs from the sun.
D3 Deficiency
Research shows more than a billion people worldwide have a vitamin D deficiency. Symptoms include:
- Muscle weakness and aches
- Weak bones
- Fatigue
- Inflammation
- Hair loss
The deficiency may lead to many health conditions, such as:
- Depression
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Arthritis
- Eczema
On the other hand, taking too much vitamin D can have toxic effects.
Toxicity problems are caused almost exclusively by supplements. It’s hard to take in that much from food. And your body doesn’t produce that much vitamin D from sunlight.
1alpha-Hydroxyvitamin D5
1alpha-Hydroxyvitamin D5 (Vitamin D5) is one of the six different forms of Vitamin D, and the rest are Vitamin D2, D3, D4, D6, and D7.
The often called Vitamin D commonly refers to Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. The former one is produced by plants, thus can be obtained by food; the latter one is made in bodies.
Vitamin D5 is also named as sitocalciferol.
Being different from D2 and D3, vitamin D5 is synthetically produced as an analog of Vitamin D3 but with less toxicity and better capability to be applied for pharmaceutical purposes.
The researches and studies on employing vitamin D5 is in a trend to increase for that the compound shows more potential as an anti-tumor agent.
Calcitriol
Calcitriol is a form of vitamin D3. Before Vitamin D3 can perform its functions, your body must “activate” it by turning it into a hormone. This bioactivated version of the vitamin is called calcitriol. Additionally, calcitriol needs to connect with a specific receptor called the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR).
When we talk about the benefits of Vitamin D3, we’re talking about the benefits of calcitriol, because unless it makes this transformation, it can’t be absorbed and used.
Calcitriol Has Many Benefits
Bioactivated Vitamin D3, or calcitriol, plays many important roles in the human body. It has been shown in medical studies to protect against a litany of issues including:
- Asthma
- Cancer
- Diabetes – Type 1 and 2
- Heart disease
- Infections
- Multiple sclerosis
- Neurological diseases
- Psoriasis
The most relevant benefit of course, is protection against Osteoporosis, through the building of stronger bones.
How Does Calcitriol Function?
One major function of calcitriol is to connect with the Vitamin D Receptors (VDR) which allows your intestines to absorb calcium by stimulating the expression of special proteins that carry it across the intestinal wall. Otherwise, the calcium would leave the body without ever getting used!
Calcitriol also regulates the creation of bone matrix proteins, mineralizing the collagen matrix in bone. This is incredibly important to building high quality, fracture-resistant bones.
Amazingly, it reduces inflammation by lowering the “adaptive” immune system, while stimulating the parts of your immune system that control viral infections and help prevent autoimmune disease. Your immune system’s T-cells, the cells that actively fight infections, require calcitriol to activate in order to do this work. In fact, they actually seek out bioactivated Vitamin D3.
It activates liver and intestinal enzymes that help your body to metabolize drugs and toxins.
Calcitriol and VDR also secrete a chemical in parts of your brain that increases the production of dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline; neurotransmitters that help your brain function and even improve your mood.
How can I get More Calcitriol in my System?
- Exercise has been shown to increase the activation of Vitamin D3.
- Curcumin, found in the spice tumeric, has been shown to increase calcitriol levels.
- Include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. They increase calcium absorption and reduces bone loss, helping to maintain optimal bone density. The highest food sources of omega-3s are
- salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, trout, and snapper.
- Studies reveal that Omega-6 increases calcitriol levels, but you want to be careful that you don’t consume too much Omega-6 compared to Omega-3.
- Vitamin E keeps your VDRs available for calcitriol to use. You can get more vitamin E in your diet by including avocados, broccoli, greens (including kale), mango, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, almonds, and olive oil.
- You will want to avoid excessive caffeine. It decreases your body’s production of Vitamin D Receptors, which also decreases the amount of calcium that can be absorbed.
Vitamin D production happens naturally in the body mostly through sun exposure, where you live can impact your calcitriol levels as much as what you do.
Fortunately there are easy to recognize warning signs that you’re lacking in Vitamin D3:
- Chronic pain and muscle weakness
- Magnesium deficiency
- Impaired or low immunity
- High blood pressure
- Sadness and depression, especially when seasonal
- Age (older than 50)
How Much Vitamin D3 Should I be Taking?
If you are taking a Vitamin D3 supplement, you can take a minimum of 1000 IUs daily without worrying about overdosing. This amount will keep your bones strong and rejuvenated. The Upper Intake Limit is 4000IU.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a collective term used to describe 8 separate fat soluble antioxidants, most commonly alpha-tocopherol. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and acts to protect cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body’s metabolism, which can harm cells, tissues, and organs and which may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer. Low levels of vitamin E have been linked to increased incidence of breast and colon cancer.
Preliminary research suggests vitamin E may help prevent or delay coronary heart disease. It also protects other fat-soluble vitamins (A and B group vitamins) from destruction by oxygen.
The body needs vitamin E to help keep the immune system strong against viruses and bacteria. It is important in the formation of red blood cells and it helps the body use vitamin K. It is also believed to play a role in certain conditions related to aging.
It helps widen blood vessels and keep blood from clotting inside them. Cells use vitamin E to interact with each other and carry out many important functions. Whether vitamin E can prevent cancer, heart disease, dementia, liver disease, and stroke still requires further research.
Vitamin E deficiency is seen in persons with abetalipoproteinemia, premature, very low birth weight infants, cystic fibrosis, and cholestasis and severe liver disease.
The best way to get the daily requirement of vitamin E is by eating food sources. Vitamin E is found in the following foods:
- Vegetable oils (such as wheat germ, sunflower, safflower, avocado, and olive oils). NOTE: Be careful using seed oils like sunflower and safflower. They are heavy with Omega-6 fatty acids. You will need to eat more Omega-3s to maintain the correct balance of these in your body.
- Nuts (such as almonds, peanuts, and hazelnuts/filberts)
- Seeds (such as sunflower seeds)
- Green leafy vegetables (such as spinach and broccoli)
Taurine
Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in several organs. It plays an important role in essential biological processes. This conditional amino acid can either be manufactured by the body or obtained in the diet mainly by the consumption of fish and meat.
Taurine plays various important roles in the body including regulation of water status in our cells, preventing oxidation in the body, and supporting calcium signaling in key organs. Through calcium regulation properties, it helps to improve the function of cardiac, nervous and musculoskeletal tissue.
Taurine is produced by our body and found mostly in our heart and brain. Findings from studies in humans and animals suggest that taurine may help reduce high blood pressure, improve blood flow, and promote the health of your arteries.
The Sources of Taurine:
- Taurine can be found in meat, fish, eggs, and milk
- Non-meat food sources, such as peanuts and some vegetables contain taurine even though they only have a small amount.
- Taurine is also produced synthetically for energy and supplement drinks but these are not a good source.
Functions of Taurine:
- Breaking Down Fat. In our body, taurine acts as a detergent that emulsifies fat so that it can be broken down and processed.
- Helping Metabolism. Several important nutrients dissolve in the fat so that taurine can help the metabolism of those nutrients.
- Important for the Development of the Nerve Center System and Retina. Because taurine is used for the development of the nerve center system and retina, it is given as a supplement for premature babies because they cannot produce taurine by themselves.
- Taurine also can act as an antioxidant so that it can prevent cells from damage that is caused by oxidation.
14 Benefits of Taurine for Our Health:
- Reducing Cholesterol
- Improving the Function of Our Liver
- Relieving the Symptoms of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
- Managing the Nerve and Muscles System
- Protecting the Brain
- Maintaining the Strength of Our Muscles and Dissolving Vitamins
- Antioxidant and Medicine
- Preventing Fat Accumulation in Our Liver
- Protecting Our Eyes
- Strengthening Our Heart
- Increasing the Performance of Athletes
- Controlling Calcium for Our Ears
- Reducing the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
- Strengthening Our Muscles
As a supplement , you can safely take up to 3.000 miligram per day. It is water soluble and any excess is discarded through urine.
Taurine may also act as a natural diuretic to increase water excretion from the body. Therefore, it may interfere with certain medications such as lithium, which can decrease its effectiveness. Also not recommended for those with kidney problems, as it could worsen kidney function and exacerbate symptoms.
While some research in animals suggests that taurine could be beneficial for mental health disorders like depression and anxiety, other studies have found that it could worsen symptoms of bipolar disorder and mania.
If you have any of these health conditions, talk to your doctor before starting supplementation.
