A testimonial from Amie.

“All One powders are amazing; I would recommend them to anyone!  I don’t know what I would have done without the Rice Base as well as the Fruit Antioxidant Multiple Vitamin and Mineral Formulas everyday in my yogurt and smoothies.   As a nutritionist, I consume all natural foods, however I have never discovered such a delicious taste as your All One Formulas….they are easy to use and taste delicious.  I love the ingredients that All One uses—everything is pure and simple.  My clients are thrilled to have these healthy multiple vitamin and mineral powders in their pantry for themselves and their children.”

When I first got into the vitamin business, nearly 40 years ago, my father told me that “most folks don’t seriously begin consuming vitamins and supplements until they are around 50 years old.” When we are young it seems that no matter what you do to yourself the next day you have tons of energy and feel great. There is no such thing as feeling tired or run down. So coming from that place where you think of yourself as indestructible and going to live forever … who needs vitamins? What aging?

The interesting thing is that if during that, what I refer to as the indestructible period is exactly the time to be preparing your body to fight the ravages of aging. Be sure your body is receiving generous portions of amino acids (which make up protein), powerful antioxidants which fight free radicals. Studies have shown that complete multiple supplements that contain vitamins and minerals as well as amino acids fight the production of free radicals. Free radicals are what accelerate the aging process. Continue Reading »

Nutrient Absorption is an extremely important consideration when you are choosing a multiple vitamin, mineral and amino acid supplement. You can be using the absolutely highest quality source material and ingredients but if they are not available to digest and easy to access by your body and get into the blood they can do little to no good.  The most common way to take vitamins, referred to as the ‘mode of administration,’ is the the vitamin pill.  Unfortunately, this is the least efficient when it comes to facilitate proper nutrient absorption. To demonstrate this whenever I am invited to be a guest on a television show I will often begin the segment by dropping a vitamin pill into water. It becomes an effective visual demonstration of how ineffective pills are when it comes to nutrient absorption. Invariably whether the segment runs 5 minutes or even an entire half hour by the end of the show sure enough when they cut away to the pill in the glass there it sits solid as ever. One time one of the cameramen told me a story about a show he had seen recently in which the sewer workers in New York City said it was very common to find pills in the sewer that were so intact that they could still read the brand name on the tablet. When you have about 7 minutes you can watch that show here.

Just about everyone is looking for way to lose weight.  A way to lose body fat in particular.  The market place is crowded with diet programs.  There are pills to “burn fat” and a whole host of advertisements and television commercials displaying colorful “before and after” photographs showing belly fat becoming magically transformed into six pack abs.  So is there a fat loss secret?  Is there a fat loss program out there that will help you to lose body fat and at the same time keep you healthy?  Is there one simple diet program that it is as healthy as it is effective?  In a word: Yes.  We have found a fat loss secret that has its origins in ancient Rome: Activated Barley.

By now everyone is familiar with the term stress. Not a day goes by that we don’t hear someone say: “I’m stressed” or “Life is so stressful.” This wasn’t always the case. The term stress was coined by Dr. Hans Selye. The Hungarian born physician first wrote about in the British journal Nature in the summer of 1936. This is the same year my father James founded his vitamin company, Plus Products. It was around the same time that Dad met nutritionist Adelle Davis. Adelle became familiar with Dr. Selye’s work with stress and became interested in in finding the nutritional components necessary for proper stress management. Our family’s specialty was marketing cutting edge supplements, this collaboration led to the introduction of the first stress vitamins.

Gluten is a protein that is found in wheat.  To a lesser degree it is also found in barley and rye.  More than a million people in the United States suffer from a Gluten intolerance.  In the past few years awareness of this common allergy has increased to the point where a fast growing market has opened up for Gluten free foods, Gluten free restaurants, Gluten free nutritional supplements … a whole array of products and services for folks with Gluten intolerance.

Awareness of Gluten intolerance has business booming

From a recent article on Gluten Free food on MSNBC.com

U.S. sales of gluten-free food, roughly $700 million in 2006, are rising 15 percent to 25 percent a year, according to research firms Mintel International and Information Resources Inc. Manufacturers expect sales to remain strong because celiac sufferers don’t outgrow the disease.”

Do You Have Gluten Intolerance (Celiac disease)?

Your family Doctor would be the first place to go to assess if you have a Gluten intolerance.  When commencing your investigation keep in mind the point made in this recent article on Gluten intolerance (Celiac disease) by Paul G. Donohue M.D.  Doctor Donohue states that many individuals may not have the outward signs of Gluten intolerance which are diarrhea and weight loss. People can have celiac disease without these symptoms.

“Their illness is discovered when they come down with vitamin or mineral deficiencies from celiac’s interference with nutrient absorption. Osteoporosis might develop at a young age because calcium cannot be absorbed by the digestive tract, or anemia occurs because iron isn’t assimilated.”

ALL ONE Multiple Powders are certified “Gluten free”

If you, any of your friends or members of your family, are among the millions of people who are searching for a complete nutritional supplement that is certified “Gluten free” you need look no further.

ALL ONE multiple powder formulations are perfect for those with Gluten intolerance.

The nutritional supplement market is now a multi-billion dollar enterprise. It was multi-millions back when I got into it but with the success and effectiveness of supplements it is now multi-billions. Due to restrictions placed on companies by the regulatory agencies FDA (Food and Drug Administration and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) the multitude of companies competing for your attention can’t really “say” anything. Anything that appears as a “claim” meets with swift penalties. So how do consumers know the facts to choose the best vitamin brand?

The reality is that in an industry this large, simply due to the vast scale and volume, many of the key ingredients are produced by a limited number of raw material manufacturers. Therefore, there is a very good chance that the Thiamine (Vitamin B-1) or Riboflavin (B-2) found in those cute, pretty colored vitamins jumping out of the airplane, in Centrum tablet television ads come from the same supplier that we use here at ALL ONE and most likely the same B-1 and B-2 that is used by the company that is claiming they are the best vitamin brand because they “grow” their vitamins. It is a similar story when it comes to the important minerals like Calcium.

What makes ALL ONE the best Vitamin brand?

Two things make ALL ONE the best vitamin brand. Not a fortune spent on television advertising. Not some mumbo jumbo fairy tale about squeezing vitamins from plants … just two simple things:

1. Mode of administration. How you get the nutrients into your body. Not a compressed tablet which contains binders, fillers, disintegrating agents, coatings and other non nutritive additives. Not a pre made liquid that contains flavorings, sweeteners, suspending agents and artificial preservatives. ALL ONE is unique in a billion dollar supplement market in the sense that it is the only complete pure nutrient multiple powder free of any sweeteners and flavorings ALL ONE is pure nutrition and nothing else.

2. Combination of ingredients. More complete than any liquid or tablet ALL ONE contains protein which provides generous portions of naturally occurring amino acids important in the assimilation of Calcium and other minerals as well as well as providing a natural “food base” for ALL ONE’s complete vitamin profile.

In a highly competitive supplement market place these two simple things make ALL ONE the best vitamin brand.

All One founder Doug Ingoldsby talks on the AM Arizona show about the benefits of powdered vitamins such as those offered by All One.

One of the most common questions asked by consumers of the ALL ONE product line is, “What type of Calcium do we use in our product?” After many phone calls to our chemist and many articles read, we have discovered why there is a controversy. Many articles are written stating that Calcium Carbonate is not easily digested and therefore not the Calcium of choice. This may be true if you are taking Metamucil, Tums or tablets; however, it is not true of the ALL ONE Multiple Vitamin Mineral supplements.

Calcium needs to be bioavailable. Meaning, can the body use it? Certain Calcium is more soluble than others. Soluble means capable of being dissolved. Bioavailability is not the same as solubility. Calcium Carbonate is an insoluble Calcium when put into water. Scientists have found that solubility has nothing to do with bioavailability. Once the Calcium enters the blood, it has to be put to use in the body. That’s the real key to bioavailability. The scientific results of the body using Calcium is that no matter what Calcium is ingested into the body, once it enters the stomach it becomes Calcium Phosphate in the intestine and only then enters the blood. The bottom line is ALL CALCIUM IS CREATED EQUAL in the bloodstream.

It matters less which Calcium you ingest than when you ingest it. Calcium taken with a meal is better absorbed than Calcium taken between meals. Remember that the Calcium in the ALL ONE product is like a meal, because it has chelated Calcium, which means it is bonded or attached to the protein molecules and then vitamins are added. ALL ONE includes protein, minerals and vitamins in every dose, just like eating a food.

One final controversy surrounding Calcium is the ratio of Calcium to Magnesium, should it be 2:1? Most nutritionists believe that Magnesium is necessary for the assimilation of Calcium; however, the amount of Calcium to Magnesium ratio is under great controversy. We at Nutritech feel that the ALL ONE has been tested over time (35 years) and the way ALL ONE is formulated allows for the highest form of the greatest quantity of vitamins and minerals to be absorbed.
