These are my husband's favorite packets since they combine all the vitamin basics into one simple packet. He's on the road every week, so they fit right into his computer bag and he takes 1 packet a day plus his Q-Avail CoQ10 & Carnitine Synergy by DFH in the morning, and CatecholaCalm at night after his stressful meetings. Very nice combo of a great multivitamin with antioxidants, minerals, and omega 3s.

Make Sure Your Body Can Actually Absorb What You Take!
The Chelated Calcium/Magnesium Advantage As a benefit, the calcium and magnesium are separate from the multivitamin so you can get optimal amounts of these minerals. Due to its size, chelated calcium requires Calcium Malate Chelate its own capsule in order to deliver an effective dose. The same holds true for chelated magnesium. Two Twice Daily Essential Packets provides you with 500 mg of chelated calcium and 500 mg of chelated magnesium.
DFH's chelates are from Albion Advanced Nutrition, the most respected maker of chelated minerals and the only company to hold patents on true chelates, which allows DFH to provide you with a well tolerated and highly absorbed product.
High Quality You Can Trust For Superior Nutrient Absorption Designs for Health's Twice Daily Multi in the Twice Daily Essential Packets supply key nutrients in optimal doses, such as folic acid, selenium, chromium, and B vitamins, and optimal forms such as vitamin A, and the high gamma tocopherol form of vitamin E.
OmegAvail Synergy softgels are a unique omega 3-6-9 formula, which contain a blend of wild deep-sea sourced fish oils containing the omega-3 fats (EPA/DHA) in the TruTGform, the most important omega-6 fat, GLA, from borage oil, and the omega 9 fat oleic acid from certified virgin organic macadamia nut oil. All DFH fish oils are guaranteed free of heavy metals, PCBs, oxidation and contaminants.

Vitamin B complex: water-soluble vitamins The B-complex vitamins are actually a group of eight vitamins, which include thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B6), folic acid (B9), cyanocobalamin (B12), pantothenic acid and biotin.
Essential for: • Breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose (this provides energy for the body) • Breakdown of fats and proteins (which aids the normal functioning of the nervous system) • Muscle tone in the stomach and intestinal tract • Skin • Hair • Eyes • Mouth • Liver
Vitamin B deficiency can cause • Anemia, Beriberi, Pellagra
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid): water-soluble vitamin • Aids in fighting off foreign invaders. • Vital to the production of collagen, which is involved in the building and health of cartilage, joints, skin, and blood vessels. • Helps protect the fat-soluble vitamins A and E as well as fatty acids from oxidation. • Aids in neutralizing pollutants. • Needed for antibody production. • Has natural antihistamine properties.
Studies have found that Vitamin C: • Contributes to healthy bones • Helps prevent periodontal disease • Aids in healing wounds • Combats inflammation and pain • Aids iron absorption • Breaks down histamine • Offers potent antioxidant protection • Protects lung function • Maintains cognition in the elderly
Vitamin D: fat-soluble vitamin • Boosts absorption of vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus from food • Helps maintain healthy bones and teeth • Protects against osteoporosis • Boosts the immune system • With vitamins A and C, it helps to prevent colds • Helps in treatment of conjunctivitis • May help in the treatment of cancer • Helps maintain regular heartbeat and efficient blood clotting • May assist treatment of psoriasis

Calcium Malate Chelate This new improved form of Calcium is an Albion Chelate, known to be the best for its superior absorption and efficacy over all types of calcium. Albion's patented calcium amino acid chelate are absorbed better than calcium salts (i.e. ca carbonate), and they are retained better in bone. Calcium carbonate from Tums is capable of causing the milk-alkali syndrome which leads to stomach upset and kidney problems. Also, ionic minerals in other products interfere with the absorption of other minerals including phosphorus and iron whereas this chelated calcium does not. Albion calcium has demonstrated long and short term safety.
A study performed by Professor Robert P. Heaney, MD from Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska, that compared absorption rates of many common forms of calcium showed Albion's calcium, completely and properly chelated to glycine, to have far greater absorption than calcium citrate, calcium hydroxyapetite, calcium carbonate and even greater absorption than calcium from milk. (Heaney, R.P. et al Calcit Tissue Int (1990) 46: 300-304.)
Calcium May Help Prevent: � Decaying Teeth � Osteoporosis/Bone Loss � Heart Disease � High Blood Pressure � Low Birth Weight � Spontaneous Labor � Heart Attack/Stroke � Colon Cancer � Nervous System Disorders � Colon and Pancreatic Cancer � Insomnia � High Cholesterol � Hypertension
Magnesium Malate Chelate This excellent form of magnesium is an Albion mineral chelate bound to malic acid, making it ideal for absorption, the ATP energy cycle, and for the relief of Fibromyalgia, muscle pain, and muscle spasms. Malic acid helps to make energy. It plays a role in the complex process of deriving ATP from food. Research shows that malic acid combined with magnesium may relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Magnesium: The mineral we lack the most Studies show that most Americans are largely magnesium deficient due to foods being grown in magnesium depleted soils. This critical mineral is excellent for those with muscle cramps, those under stress (which quickly depletes magnesium), as well as diabetics. Other benefits of magnesium include heart protection, aids detoxification and PMS, promotes bone health, prevents cardiac arrhythmias, and relaxation. Magnesium Chelates is an ideal supplement for anyone who wants a one-per-day magnesium supplement.
Conditions that Benefit from Magnesium Malate Chelate: � Chronic fatigue � Fibromyalgia � Arrhythmias � Asthma � Bone health � Diabetes � Heart disease: Heart attacks/High LDL � High blood pressure/Stroke � Kidney stones � Mental health � Muscle cramps

Quality Assurance The following steps have been taken to ensure that nothing but the highest quality standards have been met for our new products: � Designs for Health always tests its fish oils independently. We test for rancidity looking at anisidine levels, as well as heavy metals, PCB�s and other chemicals. We then add antioxidants for further stability protection. � The natural lemon flavor and proprietary antioxidant blend added to all these products enhance their stability, freshness and taste. You can be assured that your patients will not complain of any "after" effects. � These oils are molecularly distilled and manufactured in accordance with pharmaceutical protocols in a pharmaceutically licensed facility.
After extensive research I chose this product along with Twice Daily capsules by DFH for 3 main reasons. 1) water-solubles must be taken more than once daily, 2) optimal ingredients like methylcobalamin, NatureFolate and others like Magnesium chelate. 3) Cost- less than $1.40 per day. You can't find a better product!!!
Could not be more convenient!

This product makes taking daily supplements so easy. When I am not going to be home, I can throw a packet in my purse to take with my meal out and if traveling, into my suitcase go several packets.

I order these packets for my mother-in-law. They were recommended by my nutritionist as an easy way for her to get a good balance of nutritional supplements. She had been taking the cheapest, over-the-counter vitamins she could find. As my nutritionist and several articles I''ve read have noted, supplements are not regulated and so there is value in getting supplements from a company that does quality and potency testing. Designs for Health is one of the brands my nutritiionist recommends and these easy to use packets were a perfect fit for my 92 year old mother in law.
