Hello g-dog, Here is the one I just started taking. greenfoods.com I take multiple vitamins and have for 30 years. Out of the 5 brothers and sisters I did the lions share of partying but I think I am the one in the best health. I can only say it is from an exercise program that has been daily for almost 30 years and the same with the vitamin supplements. I like vegetables and fruit and other good foods too so that helps. Best of luck on your regimen. Tom

I don't believe those claims.. they just cannot be true. I believe there are downsides to the alfalfa-spirulina things.. and it is not true that it has sufficient b12 to offset the lack of that vitamin in a vegetarian's diet. A pure vegan has to supplement or eat fish to get b12. He cannot find it in veggies, except perhaps in miniscule quantities in manure grown veggies. Not enuff. Since the deficiency does not show up for 5 years, it is extremely hard to detect to the Vegan.. and is especially dangerous to the Vegan mother's children. The wonder is however that vegans do not suffer HD much. The lack of b12 should lead to excess blood clotting, despite the lower overall cholesterol of this crowd. I am not saying Washington State Lake Klamath Spirulina is a bad thing.. just that if it is a miracle, I am in the wrong church... ************************* If people ate fish liver oil, (it contains vitamin D) they would be far more protected against cancer and heart disease than they are presently. The very existence of the Eskimo/Inuit as a surviving species proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. They would not be alive if they did not eat liver, and get vitamin C, A and D therefrom. And they are not that biochemically different from other humanity that they can manufacture vitamin D on their own in their bodies. (humans cannot manufacture D or any of the other vitamins -- unlike animals.. and vitamin D is totally absent from all other foods.. it has to be put into milk artificially in order for non fish liver eating people to get it... ordinarily it is only found in sunshine.. Man must get sun to live is the message.. or eat fish livers.. what a strange narrowly adapted species we are!! The only other animal like man, who cannot make his own vitamin C, is the Guinea pig! bchealthguide.org Vitamin A Dosage: We have pointed out that concerns about vitamin A toxicity are exaggerated. While some forms of synthetic vitamin A found in supplements can be toxic at only moderately high doses, fat-soluble vitamin A naturally found in foods like cod liver oil, liver, and butterfat is safe at up to ten times the doses of water-soluble, solidified, and emulsified vitamin A found in some supplements that produce toxicity.(1) Additionally, the vitamin D found in cod liver oil and butterfat from pasture-raised animals protects against vitamin A toxicity, and allows one to consume a much higher amount of vitamin A before it becomes toxic.(1-3) Liver from land mammals is high in vitamin A but low in vitamin D, and should therefore be consumed with other vitamin D-rich foods such as lard or bacon from pasture-raised pigs, egg yolks, and oily fish, or during months in which UV-B light is sufficient to provide one with adequate vitamin D. As a general guideline, we recommend the following doses of vitamin A from cod liver oil, along with a nutrient-dense diet that contains other vitamin A-rich foods: *********************************** Cod Liver Oil: The Number One Superfood By Krispin Sullivan, CN Doctor Price was right, as usual. Cod liver oil is very good for you, more than you ever knew. Research studies ranging from 1918-2001 give cod liver oil an A+ rating. This marvelous golden oil contains large amounts of elongated omega-3 fatty acids, preformed vitamin A and the sunlight vitamin D, essential nutrients that are hard to obtain in sufficient amounts in the modern diet. Samples may also naturally contain small amounts of the important bone- and blood-maintainer vitamin K. There is hardly a disease in the books that does not respond well to treatment that includes cod liver oil, and not just infectious diseases but also chronic modern diseases like heart disease and cancer. Cod liver oil provides vitamin D that helps build strong bones in children and helps prevent osteoporosis in adults. The fatty acids in cod liver oil are also very important for the development of the brain and nervous system. "If you want to prevent learning disabilities in your children," said David Horrobin, distinguished medical and biochemical researcher, "feed them cod liver oil." ******************************* Cod liver oil contains more vitamin A and more vitamin D per unit weight than any other common food. One hundred grams of regular cod liver oil provides 100,000 IU of vitamin A, almost three times more than beef liver, the next richest source; and 10,000 IU vitamin D, almost four times more than lard, the next richest source. Of course, cod liver oil is only consumed in small amounts, but even a tablespoon (about 15 grams) provides well over the recommended daily allowance for both nutrients. In addition, cod liveroil contains 7 percent each of the elongated omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA is the precursor of important prostaglandins, localized tissue hormones that help the body deal with inflammation; and DHA is extremely important for the development and function of the brain and nervous system. So it's no surprise that in numerous studies cod liver oil has proven to be a powerhouse in fighting disease.
