  Speaker 2: is let go. Now, here's your host, doctor Troy Munson.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. A couple weeks back,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I released a podcast on Are Your Vitamins Bad for You?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: And in that I talked about vitamin E briefly, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I wanted to expand it a bit here, at least
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: enough that we would have an understanding of what vitamin
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: E does, what it's used for, what dose should I have,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: where should I get it, and how does it work?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: So let's begin now. Out there, you'll see on the
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: market that there are vitamin E products where you'll see
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: that it says four hundred international units. Some will say
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: two hundred international units. On occasion, I've seen them up
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: at eight hundred international units. Because vitamin E is an oil,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: they don't like to put it in milligram. They like
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: to put it in international units, which is more of
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: a liquid measurement. So that's one aspect of it. But
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: if you're seeing that I use and you're seeing that
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: it's called vitamin E, you should be highly suspicious of
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that particular product. And here's why there are synthetic vitamin
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: e's on the market, and then there are food complexes.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Synthetic vitamin E is going to be mixed to coferolls
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: or simply D to copherol or D alpha to copherol.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: These are the oil antioxidants or preservatives for really a
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: lack of a better way to put it. Because of
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: vitamin these nature, it is sensitive to oxidation, so it
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: naturally builds in to the vitamin E complex. Nature designs it,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: or God puts into it these antioxidants or those compounds
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: that would resist oxidization. Now, when we look at food concentrates,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: we're going to find these same antioxidants, though they will
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: be a little different. It's difficult for man to make
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the exact replica of some of these antioxidants. Now, why
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: why antioxidants? What is he talking about? Why is that
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: even important to me? What do I even know about?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: That?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Antioxidants are used by foods to help preserve them for
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: a period of time instead of them denaturing so fast,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and now they cannot deliver any nutritional value to anybody
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: or any animal, namely even get their seed to the
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: ground to be alive so that they can actually germinate
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and replicate themselves. So antioxidants are in our food and
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: in our vegetables because we do want to live and thrive,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and so do plants, and so the design of those
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: things are to try to combat oxygen. That's how it works.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So if we do a synthetic, we're simply pulling out
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: one component of that whole complex and we're putting it
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: in a pill and handing it to somebody. Now, they
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: have done some amazing research on antioxidants. In the eighties
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and nineties, they gave antioxidants like they were going out
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: of style, and I was one of those people, and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: we started realizing really fast that that was not okay
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: to do. And what happens within the cell as we
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: get under stress is that these antioxidants begin to help
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: us cope with a stress, also allow us to adapt
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: and to change and to produce other chemicals that are important.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: So the oxidative stress that we were under was important
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to a specific point, but not when it was excessive
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: and we knew that tissue breakdown in the seventies and
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: eighties and how things were going, that antioxidants may have
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: been an important step in helping people resist the challenges
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: of living, so to speak. But when we realized that
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: when we did high dose, we said, well, gosh, if
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: one or two milligrams or international units was helpful, then
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: thousands should be awesome. And that was certainly not the case.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And so it is why I enjoy using whole food
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: complexes because I'm assured of not getting too much. To
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: give you the numbers, because you've probably been waiting that
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: for that vitamin E they have found over one hundred
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: and thirty one hundred and forty international units actually is
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: a detriment, and those that were using vitamin E that
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: was synthetic for more than a year actually had greater
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: illnesses and complications and disease processes. Now that wasn't probably
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the only thing that they were doing, but they found
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: that consistently those that consumed higher doses of that synthetic
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: antioxidant did not do well, so they started lowering those ridas.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing. When you take a food substance like
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a vitamin E that isn a natural food. You have
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: a thousand components that make vitamin E what it really is,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and we have very little of the mixed tokopherols that
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: are actually reparative or restorative or protective in nature. And
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: so it's really difficult to eat a lot of vitamin C,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: excuse me, vitamin E and get too much. It just
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: is really super difficult. So when you're getting all of
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the right components of that vitamin E, you are now
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: assured that you're not getting too much of any one
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: component actually causing problems. So let me put it to
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: you this way to understand a food complex as compared
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: to a synthetic If I have a brand new Ferrari
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: and I tell you it's only fifty grand, and you're
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: like whoo, and you come over and give me fifty
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: grand and I hand you a bottle of paint, You're
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: probably not going to be very pleased with your new Ferrari.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: You would prefer to have the engine, the steering wheel,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: the seats, the chassis and everything that goes with it,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: because you thought you were buying a car. But if
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I sell you the same synthetic vitamin like vitamin E,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and I sell you a product that has four hundred
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: international units that the preservative, while the analogous product in
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: a car is the paint. Nobody considers having the paint
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: off of a car as the car, but many of
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: us have been sold the bill of good goods thinking
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: that my mix to koferols, my four hundred international units
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: is my vitamin E and it's complete. Nothing could be
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: further from the truth. Vitamin E is amazing in its
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: structure and its components. It has over one thousand phytonutrients
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: that make vitamin E the whole complex. So if the
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: government labeled vitamin E as the mixed to kofherols, it's
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: hard to keep talking about vitamin E in its whole
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: complex and still say vitamin e, we probably should call
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: it something else. While that is a good idea, that
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: is kind of how all of this runs. So if
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: you look at your vitamin E complex and you don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: see any food in your ingredients, you don't have a
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: complex at all. You have a synthetic high potency antioxidant,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: which is definitely not recommended by most healthcare professionals, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I being one of those for sure. So dosages should
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: be small. If you're going to do a synthetic, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: hopefully you would do it with food because maybe you'll
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: use it a little bit. But why would you want
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: a synthetic in the first place? Anyways, So antioxidants can
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: be a bit tricky. So what do we do? Where
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: do I get my vitamin E in all of its
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: complexes if I want that? And why would I want
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: vitamin E? Vitamin E is definitely for growth and repair.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: So if you're a young person and you want to
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: develop your sex characteristics as a man and a woman,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you're going to want vitamin E and lots of it. Now,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: the question is where do you get it? The good stuff.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: You're going to get it from things like and organ meets.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: You're also going to get it from nuts and seeds
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: that are relatively fresh and not rancid. The number one
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: ingredient on my particular product, vitamin E is and you're
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: going to hear this right bowl testicle. So most of
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: us are not going to run out and eat testicles.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Though for men, guess what how important is vitamin E
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: for us? You would be right in saying it is
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: vital for testicular function as well as our growth and
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: repair and making sure that we are men manly men,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: and so vitamin E does a ton of things, not
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: just growth and repair, not just sex characteristics, but brain function,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: internal workings of cells, cleaning up the matrices around the cells.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: It just goes on and on. Vitamin E like other things.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I'm sure we've only scratched the surface and what it
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: can do in the body, but we do need it,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: and we need a decent amount of it. How would
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I know if I had a real vitamin E product?
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: It may list selenium. Selenium will be the natural cofactor
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: or mineral cofactor of the vitamin E complex. So if
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: you find a food with lots of selenium, you may
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: most likely be rest assured that you are finding a
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: good source of vitamin E. And most people, I say most,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Let's be a little bit more realistic for the vast
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: majority of us out there. If we had cancer, thirty
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: three percent of us would find a remission in selenium alone.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: So how important do we think vitamin E complex is
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: in some serious health conditions? I would think it would
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: be a no brainer to say it's probably pretty important,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: and we wouldn't want to harm ourselves by doing a
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: synthetic that would just make things worse. We would want
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: the real McCoy, so to speak. And so I hope
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: this is there's a bit of a better understanding of
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: vitamin E. I don't think we need to go into
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: more depth or detail. I think that is a good
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: rounded viewpoint for most of us to gather the importance
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: of it and how to find it and where to
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: get it, and how much should I have and what
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: type should I have? For those of you, just as
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: a tidbit sticking around this long, if you have friends
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: or relatives or yourself is suffering from angina, you may
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: want to seek out vitamin E a little bit more
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: rigorously because angina or heart pain is a vitamin E
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: two oftentimes deficiency. And so there are different types of
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: vitamin C, excuse me, vitamin E. I didn't want to
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: confuse the situation too much by going into the different
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: ones because I have a sneaking suspicion there's way more
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: than two. But I don't know much research that's been
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: done on vitamin E, and it's different components. Just like
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: there's different forms of vitamin A. There are different forms
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: of vitamin D. There are different forms of vitamin CA
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: A well, Since vitamin E is also a fat soluble
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: like a K, D and F, it probably has many
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: two so for the rest of us, let's just get
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: it in our food. Therefore, we can be assured that
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: we're likely getting the other components and staying quite healthy
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: and vibrant for the life that we possess these bodies
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: of ours. Until next time, I'm doctor Troy, and remember
