How big are the tablets ? Some of these multivits in tablet form
can be really huge, such as those by Rainbow Light - quite a few
bad reviews on them on the net.

I read a review of one man buying one of their teen's multivit for his daughter,
but threw the whole bottle away when she opened it up and showed
him the one-inch long tablet.

This is why I am not a really big fan of tableted supplements, especially multivits,
unless I don't have a choice like when I am choosing one of these one- or two-
a-day types for my brother - quite impossible to squeeze at least 20 to 30 nutrients,
especially calcium and magnesium which take up lots of space and weight,
into one or two one-gram capsules.

Then there's also the problem of absorption, which is the main reason why
Vitamin Research Products uses only capsules in their products.

That's a lightweight, but far better than nothing if your wallet is tight at the moment.

How old are you ?

No, that's why I gave the online link.

Many here are ordering from Iherb, due to their good shipping charges,
which is a basic $4 - 6 for most orders.


This is what I would prefer if my wallet was fatter :

Here's one supplement I have recommended to many friends
and relatives over the years.

Tocopherol nicotinate is entirely synthetic, developed by Eisai years ago.

It's an ester of vitamin E and niacin, or B3.

You can't find this in multivitamins, nor being sold beside ordinary
natural vitamin E, alpha tocopherol acetate, or the common sythethic
form, d-alpha tocoperol acetate, those you find in oily softgels on
the shelves.

You won't ever be able to derive the improvement in peripheral circulation
with plain alpha tocopherol acetate.


The circulatory enhancements also easily outperfom ginkgo.

If you take this daily, you'll reduce your chances of getting an
ischemic stroke later on in life.

Your risk of getting a heart attack will also decrease, since
circulation to your coronary arteries will also improve.


Not many pharmacies here stock it. You can ask them to order it
from Diethelm, now called DKSH, the distributor of Eisai.





Not exactly cheap , currently around $ 100 a box of 100 softgels.

I've already given you above info, but you still can't seem to understand.


It's not just ''natural vitamins '' and ''good nutrtion'' that goes towards
maintaining health and preventing diseases, particularly degenerative
ones as you age, and in the process, likely extending your lifespan.


Selegiline is a prime example of what I am trying to tell you.

Selegiline is a common drug given for Parkinson's.

It is marketed as ''Jumex'' here and ''Deprenyl'' elsewhere.


If you have an interest in the field of life extension, you will find
out that many life extensionists also take it, usually twice a week.



Here's why .


Deprenyl: A Universal Anti-Aging Strategy ?

Deprenyl - A Multi-Functional Anti-aging Drug.

Can antioxidant diet supplementation protect against
age-related mitochondrial damage?

(-)Deprenyl-medication: a strategy to modulate the age-related
decline of the striatal dopaminergic system.

Why (--)deprenyl prolongs survivals of experimental animals:
increase of anti-oxidant enzymes in brain and other body tissues
as well as mobilization of various humoral factors may lead to
systemic anti-aging effects.

Therapeutic efficacy of selegiline in neurodegenerative disorders
and neurological diseases.

Slowing the age-induced decline of brain function with prophylactic
use of (-)-deprenyl (Selegiline, Jumex). Current international view and
conclusions 25 years after the Knoll's proposa].

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/20150659




Selegiline was developed 40 years ago in Hungary by the
biochemist, Joseph Knoll.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selegiline

The optimal antiaging dose, as proposed by Knoll, is 1 mg daily,
but selegiline typically comes in 5 mg tablets, so most life extensionists
take two tabs a week.


And if you wish to know more about life extension, here's a good book
to start off with :
