"I have used these supplements for a little over a month now and am very pleased with my improving health. They were recommended to me by a doctor I hold in high regard.

Alongside a well balanced diet, The Four Pillars daily supplement product from Pharmax furnishes the essential 'four pillars' nutrient groups in a practical and cost effective manner. The Four Pillars daily supplement helps to provide the best possible opportunity to enjoy lifelong optimum health and to lower the risk of chronic diseases caused by poor diet and today's stressful lifestyle. To achieve this, a single 1-day strip of four capsules & tablets provides the following essential nutrients:
Pillar 1 Vitamins & Minerals
The Four Pillars vitamin and mineral component is designed to furnish optimum levels of these nutrients in order to maintain health and help prevent diseasewithout any further requirement for supplementation. Adequate provision of vitamins and minerals are required for virtually all functions in the body including:
Muscular/skeletal/skin function and condition
Circulatory and heart function
Nervous and mental function
Immune and hormone systems functionality
Intestinal, liver and kidney function
Cardiovascular Immune Intestinal & digestive Liver & kidney Neural and brain Muscular; skeletal & skin Energy metabolism
Pillar 2 Essential Fatty Acids
It is essential that both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids be supplied in our diet.
However, over the past 50 years, the amounts of omega-6 fatty acids in our diets have significantly increased, while the levels of intake of omega-3 fatty acids have decreased dramatically. This has resulted in the USA population being chronically deficient in omega-3's. The average USA adult intake for the three important omga-3 fatty acids compared to the recommendations of the American Heart Association are show belowand the deficiency is clear!
Cardiovascular Immune Intestinal & digestive Liver & kidney Neural and brain Muscular; skeletal & skin Energy metabolism
Pillar 3 Antioxidants
One of the major advances of medical and nutritional science over the past 40 years has been the recognition of the role of 'free radicals' in heath and disease.
Excessive free radical production is now implicated in the chronic breakdown of functionality of the following physiological systems in the body:
Cardiovascular system
Immune system
Digestive system
Liver detoxification system
Neural system
In many cases, research has shown that supplementation of antioxidants prevents this breakdown from occuring and the indications are that the greatest benefits come from the provision of a wide range of both endogenous and plant antioxidants. It is also now recognized that our intake of fruit and vegetables, which are the richest dietary sources of antioxidants, is generally below optimum levels.
The Four Pillars antioxidant component provides physiologically relevant concentrations of 21 different antioxidants (including vitamins C and E), providing a comprehensive spectrum of these 'new vitamins'.
Cardiovascular Immune Intestinal & digestive Liver & kidney Neural and brain Muscular; skeletal & skin Energy metabolism
Pillar 4 Probiotics
Probiotics are living beneficial bacteria that form part of our natural intestinal microflora.
Prior to the development of refrigeration and freezing technologies, many foods were preserved by fermentation with probiotic-type bacteria, and consequently intake of these microbes was much higher than today.
The importance of adequate intake of these bacteria is now recognized, as it is acknowledged that our normal intestinal microflora confers numerous health benefits, including:
Being essential to the development and maintenance of our immune systems
Providing direct protection from invasion by pathogenic microorganisms
Maintaining intestinal integrity and functionality
The Four Pillars probiotic component has been proven in human clinical trials to be effective in protecting against potential enteric infections and overgrowth of undesirable microorganisms as well as providing relief to numerous gastrointestinal complaints.

After my doctor advised that I should avoid all foods and supplements with copper, I almost gave up on finding a good daily supplement. Then, I discovered Pharmax FOUR PILLARS without Copper, Iron & Nickel. I have been taking this daily supplement for three months and I notice a distinct improvement in my stamina and overall feeling of health. I recommend it highly.
Great Product!

Conveniently packaged for life on the go! The four pills fulfill my daily supplemental needs. The quality of the product seems to be great, as it is a Pharmax product after all. If you were to by seperate bottles of each of the four pills you would probably save money on per day basis, but having them conveniently packaged is perfect for travel or keeping at work.
