Willner Chemists: The Nutritional Supplement Professionals
Multivitamins Over
the Long-Term
I
n this large, long-term study, 18,530 male
physicians were at least 40 years of age
and free from cardiovascular disease and
cancer when they entered the trial. Over the
course of 20 years of follow-up, men who
were regularly taking multivitamins when they
entered the study, and who continued to take
multivitamins during this time, were 44
percent less likely to have had a major
cardiovascular event compared to men who
were not taking multivitamins at the start of
the study.
Although the men reported a wide range of
lifestyles, diets, and dietary supplements, as
well as a number of clinical health factors,
taking a daily multivitamin over the long term
still demonstrated a clear heart-health benefit.
Doctors also said there was no evidence of
any safety concerns in long-term use of
multivitamins.

If we were to design the
perfect multivitamin
supplement, what features
would we look for?
1. We would want it to be a “general
purpose” supplement, appropriate for the
majority of people.
2. We would want it to contain a full,
comprehensive selection of nutrients,
designed to insure optimal intake of all the
essential and important nutrients, in the
proper ratios and quantities.
3. With that in mind, we would want it to
provide minerals as well, including the
“macrominerals,” calcium and magnesium, in
proper ratio and meaningful quantities.
4. We would want it to be flexible, so that the
dosage could be tailored to each individual’s
needs.
5. We would want to keep it reasonably
priced, making sure we avoided unnecessarily
expensive but only marginally beneficial
ingredients.
6. We would want to set the potencies so that
additional supplements could be added to the
individual’s daily regimen without danger of
exceeding safe levels of any individual
nutrient.
7. We would want to avoid adding any
undesirable ingredients, such as artificial
colors, flavors, preservatives, etc.
8. We would use natural ingredients wherever
possible.
9. We would include as many phytonutrients
and accessory food factors as possible.
10. We would want it to be the perfect
“nucleus” or “foundation” product upon
which an individualized supplement program,
tailored to an individual’s specific health
concerns, could be designed.
We think we have achieved this at Willner
Chemists with the release of our new,
improved
Willvite Multivitamin
Multimineral Formula
.
It has always been our belief that your
multivitamin supplement is the most
important component of your daily regimen.
Nutrients work in concert with each other,
synergistically. Too many people make the
mistake of either taking an inadequate
multivitamin, or trying instead to satisfy their
perceived needs by taking a selection of
individual supplements. They risk missing
various essential nutrients altogether, or
inadvertently creating a imbalance.
We recommend using a broad spectrum
multivitamin multimineral supplement such as
Willvite
as a starting point, or foundation,
upon which your supplement program can be
built.
Common Mistakes
1. Once A Day. Many of the vitamins and
minerals are water soluble. This can mean
that they remain available to the body for only
a limited time (four to six hours) before they
are
excreted.
What happens during the rest of the day? You
will get much greater benefit from your daily
vitamin and mineral intake if you divide the
dose into, at least, two servings. Taking your
multi twice a day is much better than once a
day. And, remember that your body is
designed to obtain these essential nutrients
from food so do not be misled into thinking
certain nutrients should be taken all at once,
at certain times of the day. Willvite, with it’s
recommended dosage of 2 to 4 per day, is
easily taken twice a day.
2. Overlook Important Minerals. Many
multivitamin supplements fail to provide the
required amount of calcium and magnesium.
These two important minerals are required in
higher dosages than most vitamins and trace
minerals. They take up a lot of space in the
tablet or capsule. For this reason, they cannot
be fit into a one a day or two a day formula.
This is one major advantage of Willvite a full
daily dose of calcium and magnesium is
included in the full four tablet per day
recommended dosage.
3. Letting Marketing Hype Overshadow
What’s Really Important. It’s easy to be
swayed by marketing claims that imply various
features of multivitamin supplements create a
superiority of one product over another. Focus
on a form of calcium utilized in a product
should not make you lose sight of the fact that
it might contain little if any magnesium.
Talking about “bioavailability” should not
make you lose sight of the fact that even
100% of a fraction of what is actually needed
remains just a fraction. Adding a pinch of saw
palmetto to a multivitamin supplement does
not really turn it into a “mens” multi. What is
important is that the multi provides a broad
spectrum of all the nutrients you need, in the
proper ratios, in a stable, flexible dosage
format.
Flexible Dosage
For those who do not want to take four tablets
a day, even a two per day dosage is better
than most other formulations. Ideally, it would
be one tablets twice a day, but two tablets
once a day is better than most “one a day”
formulas. Note the content of two tablets
daily from the following table, including the
fact that you will get 400 mg calcium and 300
mg magnesium.
Features and Improvements
• Includes actual pre-formed vitamin A (25%)
along with natural Beta Carotene (75%) for
enhanced immune and mucous membrane
support.
• Vitamin C is present in partially buffered
form.
• Vitamin D is the preferred D3 form for
greater potency
• Vitamin E is in the natural, d-alpha
tocopherol form.
• Vitamin K is present in the preferred K2
(MK7) form.
• The B Vitamins are present in high enough
levels to ensure tissue saturation, yet allows
the additional use of additional B-Complex
supplements if desired.
• In response to the most recent research, the
Folic Acid level remains at 400 mcg.
• Vitamin B12 is present in the active,
methylcobalamin form for enhanced
bioavailability.
• The full U.S. Daily Value (300 mcg) of Biotin
is provided.
• The daily dose of Calcium has been
reduced from 1000 mg to 800 mg to reflect
the most recent guidelines and concerns over
excess levels. This allows for those who
require extra calcium to take additional
supplementation without potential over
dosage. Also, this facilitates the adjustment of
the calcium:magnesium ratio to better favor
magnesium.
• The consensus of opinion among experts is
that the ratio of magnesium to calcium should
be higher than 1:2. The level of Magnesium in
Willvite has been increased from 500 mg to
600 mg, thus altering the magnesium to
calcium ratio from 1:2 to 3:4.
• There are two versions of Willvite, with Iron
and without Iron. The version containing Iron
only provides 9 mg per day, which is ´ of the
daily recommended dose. Much of the advice
to avoid iron is unfounded, and it should be
remembered that iron is an essential and
extremely important mineral. To
accommodate those who truly require an
iron-free version, we have made it available.
• To facilitate the absorption of the macro
minerals, calcium and magnesium, while, at
the same time allowing for the full 800 mg
and 600 mg doses, we have utilized a blend
of organic (citrate and aspartate) and
inorganic forms (carbonate and oxide). The
trace minerals (zinc, copper, selenium, etc)
are in organic (chelated) forms. For optimal
absorption, take Willvite with meals.
• Zinc has been reduced from 30 mg to 20
mg, to comply with the latest
recommendations.
• Likewise, Selenium has been reduced from
200 mcg to 100 mcg. Chromium has been
reduced from 200 mcg to 100 mcg. These
adjustments address concerns about higher
dose levels, and allow for additional
supplementation when necessary.
• Lycopene, has been added, at a level of 2
mg.
• The level of Lutein has been increased from
1 mg to 2 mg.
• The level of CoQ10 has been increased
from 5 mg to 20 mg.

Daily Multivitamins for 20 Years Resulted
in 44% Less “Major Cardiovascular Events”
Those of you who have followed me for
the past 24 years, you know that I have
always emphasized the importance of
anchoring your supplement program with
a good, broad spectrum, balanced
multivitamin multimineral supplement. In
fact, I often advise, regardless of the
collection of health problems presented
to me, that if you are going to take only
one supplement, it should be a good
multivitamin multimineral.
This study is
just one more justification of that position.
This is also the reason we have devoted
so much effort into the development of
our multivitamin multimineral
supplement,
Willvite
.
For those of you who may not be
familiar with Willvite, I am attaching a
copy of an article,
The Perfect
Multivitamin Supplement
, from a previous
publication.
