Awesome 👏🏻 thanks Dr Brad
Why do you keep vitamin B3 in your multivitamin? A recent video of yours discredited its positive effects and even highlighted negative effects when taken in excess.
When will you be shipping version 6 of microvitamin with a lutein and lycopene?
Thx for all your excellent work, take care
Brad... if we purchase your Micro Vitamin on Amazon, would we receive the latest formula or just old stock?
Just covered this study last week, myself. Looking to cover more on COSMOS - great studies.
my guy
Have you passed out yet?? Looking forward to you becoming qualified.
You all copy one another, it’s like watching dominoes fall
@@Vgallo "We're all copying someone. If we didn't imitate others, we'd be running around grunting at each other."
The best form of flattery.
People like easy answers and Dr. Brad remains underrated. I for one am always coming back for the serious research approach.
Dr Brad, I really appreciate your work, but... in the end, this particular video is about how to select a multivitamin product.
You are a respected researcher/physician and a popular influencer, but you are also a player in the multivitamin market!
To mitigate any accusation of bias, it would have been nice to have a clear statement at the beginning of the video and in description rather than just disclosing this info at the end of this piece.
Totally agree
I've been watching his videos for a while now, and also have known he offers MicroVitamin. I don't buy MV, but I assemble my own customized version to save money & have more control. I like the fact that he tweaks the MV formula as new info becomes available. One of the main benefits of MV is it has no calcium.
Dont require extraordinary evidence. Just require sufficient evidence.
Lutein and Lycopene. So antioxidant are not so bad after all.
The confusion about antioxidants stems from the bad assumption 'an antioxidant is an antioxidant' when it's really just a single property of a molecule. It wouldn't surprise me if some antioxidants are more healthy than others.
@@KingdomOfDimensions It is certainly more complicated than simply looking at the antioxidant property of a molecule.
Some antioxidants have specific transport mechanism. There is a specific channel for getting vitamin C into the cell for example.
So , some molecules will tend to accumulate in specific parts of the body.
Also, when an antioxidant is part of a family of molecules it is probably not a good idea to flood the body with a single form of the molecule since they might share a transport channel that could become overloaded with a single form that is not necessarily the best form. Alpha-tocopherol is a good example I think. Gamma-tocopherol is an important antioxidant and flooding the body with other isomer might block its absorption. Alpha-carotene versus beta-carotene is another good example. Most supplement include beta-carotene but alpha-carotene is the better antioxidant.
Also, some antioxidant are part of a cycle and it is not a good idea to take only one of them (vitamin C, selenium and vitamin E is an example). You need vitamin C to turn back the vitamin E radical into its antioxidant form (you also need glutathione).
Finally, I think the effect of vitamin C on training results is misunderstood. Vitamin C is simply doing its job of protecting the body against stress. That is why some of the most positive studies on vitamin C and respiratory infections were done with athletes and/or the military.
I don't think they checked the status of the immune system in those recent training studies.
I have trained all my life while taking antioxidants and gained plenty of muscle mass. Those studies do show that I could have gained a little more shirt term benefit from my training without large amounts of vitamin C but I would be curious to see the long term difference in overall health.
except witamin C...
@@szymonbaranowski8184 I don't really see evidence for that. I don't think people should take mega-doses of vitamin C but a lot of older people would benefit from a small supplement (in the 250mg range, twice a day).
Like I said, I think the effect of vitamin C on exercise is misunderstood. If you look at the body of studies on vitamin C you will see that the studies where the vitamin had the most positive impact on the immune system are studies where people were under stress. I don't think the recent studies on vitamin C and exercise performed measurements to check the status of the immune system. So, yes, if you want to maximize gains for the parameters measured in those recent studies you might want to adjust the timing of your supplementation on training days. But if you want to keep you immune system in top shape I don't think skipping vitamin C totally is a good idea.
It's sad they did not check the immune system in those studies.
I'm not a doctor so I cannot give advice but in my 50 years of training vitamin C has never been an issue and not taking it was a cause of issues with wound healing and my immune system. However, I am a strong believer in science and the science has spoken: if you want to maximize the gains on some of the training results parameters you might want to time your intake of vitamin C differently on training days. But those specific studies, as far as I know, do not say anything about the immune system.
I take your multivitamin Dr Stanfield. Very happy you fine tune the formula as new info/science is discovered. Massive respect that you continually strive to improve.
“One of my greatest fears as I get older is to have a family member patiently tell me we’ve already had the same conversation earlier in the day but for me to have no recollection of it”
Me at 22: 🌝🌚
rofl I think you're exposed to too much brainrot
Thanks for the great info Brad..
For cardiovascular cancer and other diseases you would have to do at least 15 years for a multivitamin study
Okay Dr Brad, you definitely seem like you’re tailoring your supplements based on a lot of pain staking research…I’m pretty close to ordering your stuff. Keep up the good work!
I'm in the same camp, but wish he would switch from tablets to capsules.
Tablets are superior. Vegans can't eat gelatin caps.
I was not in the study . I have been taking multiple vitamin since I was 10 , now at 75 no serious health problems like you say . I hardly even gets the common cold , that lasts no more than a day or lest .
Moringa leaf has virtually every nutrient you need in the correct proportions and is very cheap
How do you administer it? I'm not a huge smoothie fan. Can i just mix with water and not get disgusted as with spirulina?
It also has heavy metals in it...
Moringa leaf is a goitrogen in rats. There's a Brazilian study on that.
@djVania08 I take a spoonful and wash it down with water it doesn’t taste good. I can’t believe people actually eat it as a vegetable.
@@juliahello6673 If you are talking about traditional foods, they usually eat the seed pods, not the leaves
When do plan to release version 6 of your vitamin formula?
Dad, you already said that. It comes quicker than you think. 😊
Hello Dr Brad, in previous episodes I have heard you talk about adding in additional supplements once you reach 50. Would Micro Vitamin contain anything different if you were creating a formula for 50+ yr olds? If so is there any chance you will bring that to market?
Also, is taking a supplement containing micro vitamins enough for those over 50?
After decades of consuming a whole food multivitamin on a daily basis, I quit multivitamin supplementation cold turkey, in favor of individually dosing vitamins based in meal nutrition first, and by adding items such as hemp seeds to replace certain vitamins that I was previously consuming in gross, homogenous doses as a result of my prior failure to determine daily consumption of individual vitamins discretely. I have coined my own system names such as my “hemp supplement vitamin spectrum,” considering what else I had in mind to eat that day, and is the teaspoon of hemp on top of any other food advisable for that day.
D-limonene seems to be very potent on skin rejuvenation, at least for me ;-)
Are you already using ? Waht results and dosages you are using?
@@roblim1767 Yes, look on YT for Professor Alessio's lecture at the Longevity Summit in Dublin last month. I found sweet orange essential oil with 97% D-limonene. For ingestion, I use 2 drops in an empty capsule mixed with MCT oil at the end of a meal. Externally, I use the same blend, but more diluted. I've only been using it for a few days, so I can't say which route of administration gives the best results. The fact is, it's not expensive and the studies seem to speak for themselves.
What type do you use?
@@leslielucci3182 Sweet organic orange essential oil (2 drops in an empty capsule then filled with MCT oil, after eating) who contains 97% limonene. Same blend more diluted on skin.
Budweiser does it too. Give it a try.
Would be nice if you reviewed products, I’m taking optimum nutrition opti-men which is a multivitamin, for years and I feel better when taking it, I wonder what you think of the ingredients in it and dosage, provided I’m not following a healthy diet, I’m often either in a great deficit or a large surplus of calories and I do not eat veggies or fruit or mostly carbs for that matter.
I take a lithium supplement (1000 mcg from Life Extensions) every other day (still leery of taking it daily) since I heard it helps protect and strengthen the hippocampus. :)
Consider to differentiate between Vit E Tocopherols and Tocotrienols. More info would be helpful. The “experts” on these are touting Tocotrienols benefits as more significant over Tocopherols which are small to none.
Researcher Dr. Barrie Tan talks may be a good place to start. He is saying Tocotrienols because of their shorter length can capture oxygen radicals much faster than Tocopherols. Thanks
You have very healthy skin, wow
Try methylene blue 🔵
YES
This salesman won’t cover Methylene Blue
Agreed.
Methylene Blue is dangerous.
this plus glycine and taurine
OKay .....Dr Brad....Now .. you know we had this conversation earlier!! .. don't ,, you?!...
🤔🤔🤔
Hate the mystery. Stop calling it "the supplement" just to keep watch time until the big reveal. I stopped watching because of this.
I quit as well - non respect for others time
Always wondered: How is RDI actually established ? How do they find out what to recommend ?
I have searched out this info for hours with no results.
RDI is just the minimum dose for not die. is rubbish to make suplements according that dosage
Never understood the criticisms against MVMs...if they don't work and are even potentially harmful, then how is that different than saying the vitamins and minerals in food don't work and are potentially harmful as well?
The structure, formulas and dosage in supplements can be highly different and unnatural in all the different brands of supplements, compared to whole foods. Major difference.
Any discount on the supplements doc? Too expensive for me :(
You are the best...!
Dr. Brad, given the evidence that beta carotine and vitamin e ist probably bad in higher dosages, what dou you think implies that for diet? I like to eat carrots, often cooked, which increases beta carotin absorption. Would it be better to decrease the amount of carrots in diet if one eats them often?
Wait how do we know which version of MicroVitamin is being sold right now? How do we know what version we are buying now and in the future?!?
Dr. Stanfield, will you make the supplements smaller in version 6? I have a hard time taking them and sometimes choke on them which makes me very hesitant to take them. I would imagine many people are in the same boat as me.
I eat ap. 8 raw eggs per day which o believe contain lutein and lycopene. I also consume lots of pinto beans which are high in magnesium.
One of my greatesr fears when I get older is dying....ya'll got anything for that?
good to know, get plenty from kale, greens, dandelions, and tomatoes. natural is best, as long as organic.
Thanks for your contribution, what's so special about dandelions?
You’re kinda missing the point, natural is actually irrelevant, it’s a sales tool. Vit E is natural but potentially harmful. most poisons are natural, lots of harmful things are natural. Taking a MVM isn’t natural, pills don’t grow in the ground.
Budweiser. You forgot that.
Why do you keep vitamin B3 in your multivitamin? A recent video of yours discredited its positive effects and even highlighted negative effects when taken in excess.
I wonder how XtendLife's Total Balance multiviamin fares against the Microvitamin, in comparison. Both seem like the best multivitamin supplements.
It would be good to make a list of all the vitamins in the MVM and see if there are differences
@drbradstanfield I like the idea of multivitamin which doesn't megadose anything, thats something really hard to find. But can I ask for reasoning behind including choline in a form which is suspected to increase TMAO?
Please , make a video about Ergothioneine
Does it really have anti aging effect?
Hey Dr B. If someone had issues with taking a lot of pills could they space out the recommended five capsules, of micro vitamin, through the day?
Creatine is best
Dosage recommended?
@@chrisfranco6603 I take around 3 g but on and off not regularly with some fear. This has improved my cognitive function means nerve strength which is destroyed due to boring jobs at nigh time for so many years . I feel healthy now and increased my muscle strength even my speaking improved . Please check with videos from Dr Brad on creatine supplement
5 grams a day for muscles. If you want enough to also improve your brain, 10 grams per day.
Source: YT videos
@@bricklawson9745 Thanks . I am taking for 3-4 months . I have got some confidence on creatine . I will increase but not 10 grams atleast for now
Too expensive 😢
You deliver your vitamin to Australia now but even though you are based in New Zealand not here!! Why is that?
He’s not allowed to sell a product in NZ because he is a doctor there. Potential conflict of interest.
I want to see the contents of that multivitamin, most are trash
A nice Hume/Sagan quote in there
If lutein is added into your microvitamin, about how long would it take before a purchase made on the site would be a purchase of the new formula? I actually have the site open right now and one bottle in my cart (going to purchase it anyway), but am just curious
When will the new formula be available?
With so many multi-vitamin and mineral supplement variations in contents, amounts and quality of contents - how can anyone make any claims or comparisons about them overall? All this study shows is that this particular MVM had this effect- others may not or may be even better. Studies are so problematic these days...I say read and follow these things at your own risk - do your own extensive research.
Aren’t the multivitamin dosages used in trials showing cognitive benefits the typical higher dosages?
Dosage recommendations please?
Given people have different ApoE types and different genetic variations that involve methylation…,
Multivitamin is one of the things that helped me to overcome raging hunger that prevented me from sticking to a weight loss diet. On a different note I have results from my apoB challenge. I had an apoB of 116 despite a pretty good diet, and now after a few months of rosuvastatin+ ezetimibe ( 5 mg and 10 mg respectively) I have an apoB of 81. It's higher than I was hoping for so I am upping the dose. The challenge continues.
Thank you!
Dr. Stanfield, if you had to design a multivitamin for vegans, what would it look like?
A soybean pod.
I'm vegan 23 years. Selenium (1 brazil nut daily), iodine (1 tsp dulse flakes daily), vitamin A (cooked carrots), omega-3 (nuts and seeds and algae oil to be safe), b12 (water lentils or fortified nutritional yeast), vitamin D and K2. If you cover all that then congrats, your diet is the healthiest possible and you really don't need a lot of supplements.
C15? Also you take Rapamycin and Metformin but we can't take those because need prescription.
C15 has some rapamycin qualities. I take it.
Maybe a double blind placebo control trail would be convenient to check the benefit of microvitamin
You can skip ahead to 3 minutes and 30 seconds
I like your formula 95% correct…
Young man, you are a ‘crackpot’ with this, “eat your fruits and vegetables” stuff.
Heavy, heavy meat based is optimal🙏🏻
Is microvitamin OK for vegans? I know I checked a while ago and it wasn't, but I'm looking at it now and I see no gelatin and the vitamin D is from lichen.
Chamomile and tomato 🎉
why have you not mentioned c15:0 since 2012 when it was discovered ? as an essential plus a jak inhibitor
Why is Picolinate being used instead of Polynicotinate?
Picolinate is a synthetic developed in an FDA lab. Polynicotinate is the natural form found in Brewers Yeast,
organic mushrooms and chicken.
Just because something is natural doesn't mean something is better or healthier. Not saying poly nicotinate is worse just that it's not a valid argument
@@Jorge.A.12 Just because someone makes a global statement doesn't mean an understanding of the question.
However, previous studies showed that animal models exposed to chromium picolinate experienced degenerative changes in spermatogenesis.
That begs the question of why Picolinate vs Polynicotinate
😂😂😂😂 I would say that to my old grandma to stop synthetic insulin and BP medication cause they are not natural and dies as soon as possible cause it's more natural
@@hamidaabdenour9092 hopefully she has a better grandchild in her next life 😂😂😂😂
I am 49 and have never eaten ANY vegetables other than potatoes, green beans, carrots, corn and sweet peas. It is remarkable to me how hard it is to get your daily potassium. On the other hand it amazes me how much B vitamins I consume in a day. Seems like everything has 2-3 times the daily recommended value. I pretty much live on a fast food, high sugar diet.
What's your EGFR and cortisol levels?
@@Fearzero I have never tested my cortisol. Is the EGFR the same as kidney function? I get recommended blood tests yearly, but am not familiar with that.
@@kdw75 yes estimated glomular filtration rate
@@Fearzero Everything is always in the green. My kidney function is on the high side of normal. Cholesterol numbers are all very low along with triglycerides. LDL is in the low 60s.
@@kdw75 I guess 'normal ' is a low bar in USA lol.
which witamin E, there are two....
So glad I take SUPPLEMENT
C15 looks interesting worth a video
The effective dose is very small, so supplementation is not necessary because it is easily achievable with dietary sources.
@@Aldo923what dietary sources? Its high in high oleic sunflower oil. Is that ok?
why is the dose 5 capsules? why not just one?
Thanks for posting. To deliver the full spectrum of nutrients in effective doses, multiple pills per serving are needed.
Take Magnesium Taurate, for example. It comprises only 8% elemental magnesium.
To achieve the 126mg of elemental magnesium we aim for in MicroVitamin, we need to include over 1500g of Magnesium Taurate alone.
This scenario is just one of many that highlight the necessity of multiple pills to encompass all the beneficial ingredients in their optimal dosages.
@@DrBradStanfield Turn it into a powder maybe? Unless some ingredients have to be in capsules.
@@DrBradStanfield thanks for responding.
DO U SHIP TO AMERICA....DO U ALSO SHIP TO ITALY..
More testosterone content doctor 🙌
Oh?? selling supplements now? I don't know who to trust.
❤ for the algorithm
Multi-vitamin🤘
Centrum Silver multivitamin (Lutein & Lycopene makes all the difference)
@@chuclkles58 What exactly the difference that you feel? I've been taking the same multi for decades and am not sure if it does anything.
You look tired Brad.
🤥 It’s A click bait.. pls don’t use this cheap way to get more views , be true to the title of your videos and have some respect for your followers 😡
Wrong,.....
A supplement is not a substitute. Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants.
💖❤️🙏❤️💖
Aaah. Didn't deliver within first 20-30 seconds of the video. Not Dr. Stanfield's best, but still not bad.
