A Multivitamin a Day Keeps the Doctor's Bill at Bay

A new report indicated daily multivitamin use by older adults could be an inexpensive way to safeguard health. In particular, adults over 65 taking a multivitamin might be able to avoid hospitalization associated with conditions such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections, in addition to fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction. The Lewin Group based A Study of the Cost Effects of Daily Multivitamins for Older Adults on research already in the public eye. The Lewin Group found, in particular, that a multivitamin might best help cardiovascular health and immune function. The study's findings also indicated a significant number of older adults do not consume the appropriate amounts or types of food necessary to meet essential energy and nutrient needs.
The Lewin report, which was commissioned by Wyeth Consumer Healthcare, stated, "From the perspective of a payer, the encouragement of the daily use of a multivitamin could be cost beneficial. Within a health insurance context, the five year estimate of potential savings resulting from daily multivitamin intake for adults over 65 is approximately $1.6 billion ( in Medicare savings)."

Question: I see that ALL ONE contains vitamin K. Can I still take ALL ONE if I also take an anticoagulant drug?

Answer: The ALL ONE formulas contain 5 mcgs of vitamin K. Vitamin K is found in green leafy vegetables, certain legumes and vegetable oils. The RDA
recommends males from 25 and older to have 80 micrograms per day and females to have 25 and older to have 65 micrograms per day.
We are aware that many seniors take anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin and heparin. Anticoagulants drugs that work by interfering with vitamin K, which is responsible for blood clotting. A common anticoagulant is a drug called Coumadin. Coumadin is prescribed to prevent blood clots and thins the blood more easily through narrowed blood vessels.
The amount of vitamin K in your diet can change the way Coumadin works
for you. If you eat a lot of foods that are high in vitamin K, you can
decrease the effect of Coumadin. On the other hand, lowering your
vitamin K intake can increase the effect of Coumadin. The key is to eat
a normal, balanced diet keeping the amount of vitamin K the same everyday. For a complete list of foods vitamin K content click here.

*** If someone has been taking any of our ALL ONE formulas before taking an anticoagulant drug and maintains a normal balanced intake of vitamin K that doesn't exceed the RDA then our product should not present a problem. However, it is always advise to check with your health care practitioner.

Special Note on the Senior Formula:
Since the Senior formula also contains Gingko, CoQ 10 as well as vitamin K, please consult your health care practitioner. These herbs can increase/decrease the effects of Coumadin.

"My husband absolutely refuses to take any kind of medicine and controls his blood sugar levels with exercise and diet alone. He was getting severe leg cramps and didn't want to take any supplements until he discovered All One. Now, without fail, he even makes a special trip to the health food store to make sure he doesn't run out and buys several large 66 day supply canisters at one time. It is a must have at breakfast for him. And those leg cramps? They are a thing of the past. Thanks, All One!"
