I truly believe that your vitamins are the finest made - however, I cannot take some of them because of the B-complex and magnesium they include - the reason being, that I have interstitial cystitis and those ingredients are bladder irritation triggers. More than 900,000 people in the U.S. have I.C., and I hope that some day you will make a vitamin supplement that we can take - and something that will help relieve the symptons - i.e., pressure, pain, spasms, etc. in the bladder. Thank you!

I buy all my suplements from you but the one you do not have in a stand alone product is folic acid.
Is there a reason? I am 69 and have been taking 800 mcg per day for 10 years. Please let me know what you think

Do you offer a product that contains L-carnitine in it? I looked on the HSN website but could not find one. Thank you. Teri

My husband is a smoker. I have heard that smokers should not take beta carotene supplements. Your vitamins for men have vitamin A in them derived from some beta carotene sources. Could these supplements hurt him?

Andrew I have read that if you take Fish Oil and Fiber together
the fiber destroys the Fish Oil sup. Is that true?

In a previous comment, Joy spoke of Intersistal Cystitis. I have just been diagnosed with this "painfull bladdar syndrome" and my doctor told me to be really careful about vitamin & food supplements as they can be irritating. Basically he didn't feel supplements were necessary if you ate a healthy diet. But the list of suggested foods to avoid was huge, including citrus, vitamin c, acidy/spicy foods & caffeine Can you suggest some supplements that would be good for me?

Andrew, My friend and I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Another friend has Fibromyalgia and Lupus. We have all found that taking 200 to 300mg of Resveretrol twice a day is helping us with energy. I had started taking it hoping it would help me lose weight as so many advertisements claim. I have not lost weight but we have found it energizing at those doses. Is this safe? What in your opinion is the safe level of supplementation of Resveretrol. We are all taking your product.

You talk about Acai berry, Goji. What is your opinion of Mangosteen-Xanthones?

Andrew,
I heard your informative talk on Acai. Have you heard about Monavie and it's Brazilian acai juice? They talk about this being an antioxidant, promotes wellness...What is your opinion on this? Have you done any research or reading on this?

re: whole-food supplements.
Andrew:
What are your thoughts on supplements on the market now that are advertised as "whole-food"-type supplements, as opposed to synthetics? I've been taking this type of supplement for bone strength; this is new territory for me, as I still do not understand if this type of "plant-based" vitamin is better absorbed and offers more benefits at a divided 69% dose instead of taking a divided 100% (1,200 mg.-1,500 mg.), as opposed to their company's language of "You don't eat rocks as part of your balanced diet so why would you choose a supplement for your bone health nutritional needs with limestone?"

Andrew,

Can you please advise on the use and necessity of L'Argenine as a supplement?

(1) does putting all my prescription medicines and your vitamins in a plastic daily "pill minder" effect them? I take a lot of your vitamins; it is easier to put them there. Will you be making a "pill minder"?

(2) With statins, I could never get my cholesterol under 220-225. Now by adding one 500 mg no-flush niacin every evening when I take my meds, my cholesterol is down to 170, consistently through 3 blood tests. Will you be offering niacin?

(3) Any vitamins to help keep gums pink and healthy?

I'm a huge fan for over 15 years. Your code of ethics and commitment to quality is impeccable. It is for this that I plead with you to remove the synthetic sweetener in your liquid L-Carnitine product.

Andrew, you created a special "Purple Pouch" for your Multivitamins to protect the capsules from moisture & sunlight so that the potency was not compromised. Please bring these Purple Pouches to HSN so that we may purchase them separately & utilize them for all of your other wonderful products when we travel or for work. You mentioned yourself it tends to be an inconvenience opening up so many other bottles imagine carrying them all with you Please consider selling your special Purple Pouches on air. I trust your product - thanks!

Andrew, What is the nutritional value of sodium and sugar to our health. Sodium one that is process and manufactured, I come across reading that this ingredients whether used in food seasoning and as taken in your food intake robbed the essential vitamins and minerals in our health. Nutriotional Guru and Raw Food Philosophy advised and recommend that healthy diets is eating balanced diet of fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts because they contain natural salt and sugar. So processed sugar are not healthy to human diet. How about the fish, how should be eaten, how come Japanese menu come out with Sushi, uncooked fish and tapped it with natural seasoning. What is whole grains, fresh grains or cooked grains for healthy diet. Or Whole grains needed to be extracted and standarized for healthy human natural food. Definitely herbal-natures vitamins is truly essential to our human biological-cellular health for us to live in divine blessings of health.
