A Word From the Founder of Super Empowered Supplements
Hi, I’m Dr. Steven Teagarden. I’m the founder and developer of Super Empowered Supplements, and the author of Healthy Past 100. Healthy Past 100 is a groundbreaking 1000+ page reference book that reviews what’s involved in diminishing disease risk and experiencing optimal health well into advanced age. Healthy Past 100 draws from approximately 3,000 peer-reviewed science articles that explore the relationship between how our choices lead to health on the one hand, and diseases on the other.
Supplements Are Needed to Ensure Optimal Nutrition
A crucial topic reviewed in Healthy Past 100 is the need for dietary supplements. Regardless of your diet, supplements are necessary to provide your cells with an abundance of the vitamins and minerals they need each day. For starters, soils have long been depleted of many nutrients. Another reason supplements are necessary is that humans live twice as long as they did in 1880. To ensure health well into advanced age, we must nourish our bodies daily with the necessary vitamins and minerals to repair, heal and thrive.
I’ve spent nearly a decade digging through cutting-edge scientific studies on vitamins and minerals to determine which ones we need to supplement with, and how much we need each day to ensure optimal nutrition. In the early stages of researching and writing Healthy Past 100, I recognized the need for a complete multivitamin supplement product that supplied the cells with ample amounts of all the required nutrients. Unable to find such a product, I began creating supplement formulas from powdered vitamins and minerals in 2016.
We all know that optimal health rests on optimal nutrition. While that’s true, there is no agreed-upon definition of optimal nutrition or even the basic nutritional needs of our species. With science as my guide, I set out to develop a thorough understanding of optimal nutrition and health, and to create a multivitamin product to help humans experience them.
Science has its own language, and scientific studies are notoriously difficult to comprehend. At the same time, they’re rich in a commodity this world desperately needs: accurate information. Given that top-quality scientific studies contain factual, research-based data that can lead to an understanding of optimal nutrition and health, I’ve read through thousands of them, which eventually led to the creation of Super Empowered Supplements.
It’s All About Getting Micronutrients Into Your Cells
Through years of study, it became clear that the whole point of taking supplements is to get micronutrients into the cells. The name of the supplement game is ensuring that each and every cell in your body absorbs the vitamins and minerals they require. For nutrients to be effective, they must enter the cells. What also became clear is that getting nutrients into the cells is incredibly complex, and numerous factors must be carefully considered to facilitate efficient cellular micronutrient uptake. These include:
• Absorption—micronutrients must be easily absorbed from the digestive tract
• Bioavailability—micronutrients must be bioavailable and readily taken up and utilized by the cells
• Dosage—you must supply your cells with the right amount of micronutrients
• Continuous Delivery—nutrients must be consumed throughout the day, not just in one large dose
• Complete Formula—cells must be provided with all the micronutrients they require each day
• Plasma Half-Life—the rate at which 1/2 of a micronutrient is cleared from the blood
• Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms—slight genetic variations that impair nutrient absorption
Absorption, Bioavailability, Dosage, Continuous Delivery, Complete Formula, Plasma Half-Life and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
To optimize cellular micronutrient uptake, a supplement must account for these factors: absorption, bioavailability, dosage, continuous delivery, complete formula, serum half-life and single nucleotide polymorphisms. It’s a lot to consider, but that’s what it takes to create a premium supplement product that optimizes nutrient delivery to the cells and safeguards your long-term health. (These factors are reviewed in greater detail elsewhere in this site.)
Optimal Nutrition ➔ Optimal Health ➔ Deceased Disease Risk
Nutrition, health and disease are interconnected, interrelated and interdependent states. From reading tens of thousands of scientific studies, it's abundantly clear that nutritional deficiencies pave the way to declining health and increased disease risk. Of course, the opposite is also true: providing your cells with the required nutrients leads to optimal health, decreasing the risk of many diseases.
The modern world has a perplexing tendency to wait until health issues and diseases develop and then sets out to find cures through various means. While that’s a common and accepted practice, many scientific studies demonstrate that nutrient deficiencies contribute to diseases. Thus, it’s possible to reduce the risk of diseases by ensuring optimal nutrition now. In fact, high doses of common nutrients have been shown to reduce the severity of already existing diseases.
When I initially set out to develop a multivitamin product, I aimed to provide for our basic nutritional needs. But as I delved deeper and deeper into the scientific literature, it became abundantly clear that nutrient deficiencies are strongly correlated with many diseases. As a result, the formula continually evolved to include plentiful amounts of critical nutrients that lessen the risk of diseases.
