Supplement Facts - RBC Life

Health experts have said it for years. Now research proves it. Our diets do not provide the nutrition we
need. Modern farming practices have depleted our soils to such an extent that it is almost impossible
to obtain the nutrients your body needs through food alone.
People everywhere are turning to supplements to fill in the gaps and compensate for a deficient diet.
So, how can you know that you are taking the right nutrients, in the right amounts and at the right
time? How can you be sure that you are consuming the highest quality supplements available and that
what’s on the label is really what’s in the product? These are no doubt concerns of yours, and at RBC,
they are concerns of ours. This is why we created 24Seven Life Essentials.

product that you can easily and confidently use every day to support your health. This information
packet is designed to give you a brief but thorough look into the scientific research behind this
phenomenal product.
Nutritional Supplementation –
No Longer an Option…
A number of reputable journals have recently published research supporting the need for
supplementation. In the Journal of the American Medical Association 2002, Harvard Medical School
scientists stated that we should all take a vitamin supplement “because most people do not consume
an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone.” After reviewing thirty years of scientific research,
they found that even with the variety of foods we eat, Americans are still deficient in some nutrients.
They also drew a very definite link between this low intake of important vitamins and the risk of
disease. In their research they stated, “Suboptimal intake of some vitamins, even above levels causing
classic vitamin deficiency, is a risk factor for chronic diseases and common in the general population,
especially the elderly.” They specifically advised that all Americans supplement with folic acid, and
vitamins B-6, B-12, D, E and C. 1
Adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals are critical for the healthy functioning of all organs and
systems throughout the body. Research shows that specific levels of nutrients are needed for the
protection of bones and blood cells as well as the healthy functioning of the heart and eyes. There is
also evidence that adequate levels of vitamins and minerals are important for supporting aging-related
memory function. 1 It has been long known that a diet low in vitamins or minerals may lead to severe
illnesses, such as scurvy from lack of vitamin C.
The idea that our diets do not provide adequate nutrition is not a new one. As early as 1938 Dr. Charles
Northern reported to the U.S. Senate that fruits and vegetables, and therefore people, were deficient
in vital minerals due to the depletion of our soils. He stated, “It is bad news to learn from our leading
authorities that 99 percent of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked
deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease.” He continued,
