NBTY Founder Adopts Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan (PR Newswire via Yahoo! Finance)

NBTY, Inc. , a leading global manufacturer and marketer Eas Health nutritional supplements, today announced that Arthur Rudolph, its Eas Protein Supplements and a member of its Board of Directors, has adopted a pre-arranged stock trading plan Health Food Vitamins sell a portion of his NBTY stock over time, as part of his long term strategy of asset diversification and liquidity.

Many, if not most of us, are throwing our money away by the buckefulls as we happily take our expensive supplements, mistakenly secure in the illusion that we're deriving great benefits from their use. But actually, most of us are...

  • Taking them at the wrong time.
  • Taking them all together with each other
  • Failing to "take a break" from them at appropriate intervals.
Let's take a look at what happens when we take a tablet, capsule, or liquid:

  1. The active ingredients are released into the stomach.
  2. The stomach acids attack the ingredients and break them into smaller particles.
  3. Here, depending on the active ingredient, the majority of it is destroyed by the stomach acids.
  4. Anything that is not destroyed continues on to the small intestine where it goes through the absorption process.
  5. Poor quality tablets may pass through the body in their entirety with virtually no absorption and your money gets processed by your town's sewage system.
So what to do? Well, you can get the counsel and guidance of a Naturopath, or you can find a supplement manufacturer of impeccable reputation and know how, who addresses this problem. But before we travel either road, let's take a look at our reasons for taking supplements in the first place. What is it we want from them?

  • To look and feel better?
  • To avoid degenerative disease?
  • To reduce and delay aging?
  • For a sharper mind and memory?
  • For a hot sex life?
  • All of the above?
Many of us are faced with specific health conditions that we need to address, and we want supplements that will help us do that. But in such cases, any supplements that can help us are bound to fail when we take them if two conditions are not met:

  • Our own bodies need to otherwise be in total balance in every regard exclusive of the specific problem we're having, like arthritis, for example. We need to have the other aspects of our health, in this instance, under control and under balance.
  • Each and every supplement we take to address our condition (arthritis or any other), needs to transfer its maximum effectiveness to the appropriate areas of our particular health issue. We need to absorb fully, all the vital ingredients of our supplement.
Any supplements we take, for arthritis or any other ailment, are subject to these two conditions, otherwise they simply won't work and we're wasting our money - and hopes.

Let me be clear that we're not talking about some of the natural substances like brewers yeast, or vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which aren't extraordinarily sensitive to stomach acids and absorb quite well under most conditions. Most supplements are, however, and many of them are very delicate and subject to massive destruction in the acid environment of the stomach. Also, many ingredients are incompatible with each other and supplement products need to be carefully formulated to avoid conflicts.

So what to do? Find a supplement manufacturer who can supply formulated supplements in an enteric coating, which will protect the delicate components while the tablet or capsule is in the stomach, yet break down shortly after they reach the upper intestine, where they can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Then follow that manufacturer's recommendations to the letter. Avail yourself of any advice and counsel offered. A reliable manufacturer will be able to advise you on a complete protocol for your condition (short of medical advice) and you should take it to heart. These folks don't survive by dispensing bad advice or bad product. If you do that, you cannot fail to get the most out out of any supplements you take, and incidentally, you'll be getting the most out of your money too.
