We’ve been promising a multivitamin-mineral and a calcium magnesium for a couple of years now. We’ve been searching high and low for a suitable, excipient free, natural source, hypo-allergic brand that is not only fantastic, but is competitively priced as well. Well, we've not only found a great multi and a great cal-mag, we've found a tremendous buffered vitamin c product which was so superior to our old brand that we've discontinued the Neutral C and now carry only Yellow Sun buffered vitamin C.

Our new product line is truly worth getting excited about!!!! The Yellow Sun Ultra-Pure Vitamin line contains a high potency, supreme quality, super absorbable, super-assimilatable, formulas of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. All of the minerals are in extra absorbable forms and best of all, the products are made with absolutely no chemical fillers, processing chemicals, or preservatives. Ron Schmid N.D. is the mind and “heart” behind the amazing Yellow Sun line of products and his standards for quality measure up very well to those that Linda and I share.

I'm so pleased that Whole Approach is now selling his products because it's going to be highly satisfying to be able to finally give you folks a definite (and excited) answer when you ask which vitamin/mineral I would recommend you take. Until now, I've only been able to offer you nebulous answers and vague advice about what to look for in whatever part of the world you come from. I expect that these products will prove to be highly effective and well tolerated by even our most sensitive customers.

Over my last twelve years of working in the natural products industry, I’ve always felt like I was compromising a bit when recommended multi’s or cal-mag products to folks. I very much believe in the need for them but the products that have been available on the market have not met my ideals of what health supplements could be. Now, after a long hard search, Linda and I can claim that we have selected a fairly priced multi that stands high above any existing formal standards for quality, purity, and potency.. Now you can find the very best in multi-vitamin supplementation right here at Whole Approach!

Why You Need a Great Multi

An Optimal Multi Protects You with Vitamins, Minerals, and Antioxidants
by Ron Schmid, N.D.



Our healthy forefathers ate foods that provided ten to fifty times the nutrients we consume today—and they were healthy. Don't believe the media/medical line that our forefathers all died young. Our ancestors everywhere enjoyed wonderful strength and health and were free of modern diseases until the introduction of modern foods. Paul Dudley White, President Eisenhower's personal physician in the fifties when the President had two heart attacks, wrote in his book Heart Disease, that when he graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1911, he had never heard of coronary thrombosis—today's common heart attack! That's because four cases of this then rare disease were first reported in The Journal of the American Medical Association in 1912!

Heart disease, cancer, arthritis, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease—these are called "the diseases of civilization" because they didn't occur in hunter-gatherer cultures! And they were rare among our own forefathers a hundred years ago, as long as people ate whole foods—healthy animals, fish, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and unprocessed dairy products from grass-fed animals. The diets our forefathers thrive on included lots of these foods, foods which were full of nutrients we don't get enough of today—nutrients scientists are discovering to be effective in preventing and treating the diseases of civilization! Our ancestors consumed far more of these critical vitamins, minerals, and accessory nutrients than are supplied in modern diets-and this helped protect them from disease.

Optimal amounts of key nutrients help reverse and prevent chronic diseases, while giving you greater energy and wellness. Vitamin E, for example, is a critical antioxidant that helps protect against heart disease, cancer, and strokes. Vitamin D, in addition to controlling the metabolism of calcium and other minerals, also exerts many anticancer properties, especially against prostate, breast, and colon cancers. Calcium, magnesium, and trace minerals such as selenium and chromium appear to be in even shorter supply than vitamins in most American diets. Inadequate intakes are invariably related to higher risk for a wide range of problems. Antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10, tocotrienes, grape seed extract, alpha lipoic acid, and green tea extract are now known to help prevent the free radical damage associated with virtually all chronic diseases and the aging process itself.

Our multi is the finest, most complete, and most versatile you will find. Doc's Best Optimal Vitamins-Minerals-Antioxidants provides all of these nutrients in the most natural and bio-available forms.

The formula includes 400 IU vitamin E, 100 IU vitamin D, 1000 mg Vitamin C, all of the B-complex vitamins, 200 mcg each of selenium and chromium, 400 mg calcium from hydroxyapatite, 250 mg magnesium, 30 mg zinc, and 25 mg each of Coenzyme Q10 and the other above listed antioxidants. (These are the amounts found in six capsules per day.)

• Our 100% additive-free encapsulation, using only the pure nutrients, makes for smooth, gentle digestion. Beneficial in a wide range of dosages—take just one or two, or optimally up to six capsules per day.

About Yellow Sun All Natural Products and Why they are Additive-Free


-Yellow Sun's 100% pure, additive-free supplements insure optimal absorption and nutrient utilization


-Absolutely pure supplements work together with whole foods to restore and maintain optimal health


-Nearly all other supplements contain stearates (manufacturing agents used as lubricants to speed up
production)


-These and other additives interfere with the optimal absorption and utilization of nutrients, and can aggravate allergies


-If you care about eating all natural, additive-free foods, why accept additives in your supplements?



Be Strong and Healthy—With Yellow Sun Ultra-Pure and Whole Foods


"Yellow Sun Ultra-Pure supplements are manufactured to my specifications, using only the purest, best absorbed form of nutrients. Pure supplements work best together with a diet that emphasizes fresh whole foods. Eating a simple, chemical-free, unrefined, and unprocessed diet can help eliminate disease and build lasting health. Research shows that contrary to what the medical establishment would have us believe, our ancestors thrived on the simple foods the earth provides. Whole foods provide the nutritional foundation to help our formulas, nutrients, and herbs best do their jobs."


—Ron Schmid, N.D.



Why Are Stearates and Other Additives Used in the Supplements Made by Other Manufacturers?

Most capsules and tablets are made in mass production plants, which churn out a multitude of formulas for various companies. Magnesium stearate and stearic acid are lubricants added to raw materials in supplements so that production machinery will run at maximum speeds. This ensures that production schedules will meet profit targets. Tablets also contain potentially allergenic binders, fillers, and often coloring agents. They are coated with shellac (listed in the ingredients as "natural glaze") or vegetable coating (derived from corn, to which many people are sensitive). In addition, potentially allergenic fillers are usually used to fill the capsules.


What Are the Effects of These Additives?

Decreased Absorption: In a key study published in the journal Pharmaceutical Technology, the percent dissolution for capsules after 20 minutes in solution went from 90% without stearates to 25% with stearates. These substances clearly adversely effect the dissolution and absorption of nutrients.


Allergenic Reactions: Even small amounts of additives may cause reactions in sensitive individuals. Fillers may contain hidden lactose or other allergenic ingredients. This is why so many people have adverse reactions to supplements, or fail to receive the significant benefits pure supplements will offer.



Yellow Sun’s. . . 100% Pure, Additive-Free


We use only the pure nutrients. To top off our capsules, we use the synergistic nutrients listed prominently on the labels (for example, we use Rosehips powder to top off our Grape Seed Extract).


We use no stearates, no additives of any kind. Production takes a little longer, but we think it's worth it.

The result is 100% pure, optimally absorbed, totally hypoallergenic supplements

Beware of Additives in Supplements
Effects Include Drastically Reduced Absorption and Toxicity from Hydrogenated Oils- by Ron Schmid, N.D.



“Other Ingredients”… Check out this part of the label on just about any bottle of supplements. You’ll find magnesium stearate (or stearic acid or ascorbyl palmitate). These hydrogenated oils (usually from cottonseed or palm oil) are added to the raw materials as lubricants so that production machinery will run at maximum speeds. The oil – which contains trans fatty acids - coats every particle of the materials, so the particles will flow rapidly. This ensures that production schedules will meet profit targets.

In a study published in the journal Pharmaceutical Technology, the percent dissolution for capsules after 20 minutes in solution went from 90% without stearates to 25% with stearates. This delays the absorption of nutrients; nutrients coated in oil tend not to break down, or they break down near the end of the digestive tract, well past the optimal sites for absorption. Individuals with impaired digestion often have particular difficulty absorbing nutrients coated with these oils. Other individuals have allergic reactions.

Another problem with stearates: a large volume of scientific literature shows that stearic acid suppresses the action of T cells, a key component of the immune system. An article entitled “Molecular basis for the immunosuppressive action of stearic acid on T cells” appeared in the journal Immunology in 1990.



Magnesium Stearate Is a Toxic, Hazardous Substance

Companies that manufacture and transport magnesium stearate must file a Material Safety Data Sheet with the Environmental Protection Agency because magnesium stearate is classified as a hazardous substance. Its uses are listed as “ammunition, dusting powder, paint and varnish drier, binder, and emulsifier.” The section “Human Health Data” states that “Inhalation may irritate the respiratory tract” and “Acute ingestion may cause gastroenteritis.” Under the heading “Regulatory Information,” the paper states, “This product is hazardous under the criteria of the Federal OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.” This information may be viewed at the website hummelcroton.com.


How Much Trans fatty Acids Are You Getting in Magnesium Stearate?

Supplements manufacturers argue that small amounts of magnesium stearate do no harm. But about 5% of the average 1500 milligram capsule or tablet is magnesium stearate. That’s 75 milligrams. Suppose you take 6 capsules or tablets a day. That’s 180 a month – or 1,350 milligrams of this toxic oil, about a half-ounce. And that works out to 6 ounces of trans fatty acids a year, from just six pills a day. Most people who take supplements take more than six pills a day, and are getting pounds of this substance that we’re trying to cleanse our bodies of – while directly inhibiting the utilization of the nutrients they’re supplementing!

The sole purpose of using these oils is to make the machines go faster. Supplements can be made without them-it just takes more time, care, and attention to detail. Our exclusive process yields absolutely pure supplements – no lubricants, binders, flowing agents, fillers, dyes or additives of any kind – only the pure nutrients.
