Let me point out the merits of some of the nutrients in Basic # 3 that specifically deal with weight control, so you get a sense of why supplementation is also important for weight loss and maintenance:
• Chromium, which deserves the most attention, helps activate the uptake of insulin at its receptor sites. It is best assimilated in the form of chromium polynicotinate. A spate of studies has shown that chromium will build muscle, decrease body fat and lower cholesterol levels.' Basic # 3 contains 300 mcg, which is sufficient for most individuals. Others may need up to 800 to 1000 mcg per day.
• Pantethine( vitamin B5) is a remarkable nutrient that helps control cholesterol, supports the adrenals and produces " friendly " bacteria in the intestine, making it a valuable tool in preventing yeast overgrowth. 2 Basic # 3 contains 20 mg of pantethine, which is the precursor of pantothenic acid, and another 60 mg of the latter. This dose should be sufficient for most people; those who are metabolically resistant in the extreme may need to take an additional supplement.
• Selenium is a powerful antioxidant. It may also play a beneficial nutritional role in preventing diabetes. Basic # 3 contains 50 mcg.
