I am interested in several all one products.  I know I can alternate, however, I am concerned that I am not getting the extra supplements that are in the Senior formula.  For instance, I am looking at the green the fruit and the fiber.  Could I alternate between four different products and still get all the vitamins I should?  Thank you for your help.

Dear Linda,

Thank you for your question and interest in ALL ONE.

A number of our customers alternate between our various multiple formulas.  That way they get the benefit of the ‘certified organic’ green foods in our ALL ONE Green Phyto Base, the antioxidant rich fruit pigments in our ALL ONE Fruit Antioxidant base as well as the CoQ10, Gingko and FOS found in our ALL ONE for Active Seniors.

It works fine because each multiple, while varying slightly in certain potencies,  are essentially the same high potency vitamin, mineral, amino acid supplement in different bases.

When it comes to fiber and the vitamins I recommend that you take the ALL ONE Multiple in the morning and the Totally Fiber in the evening before retiring.

I wrote about that here.

I hope this addresses your question.

I just read your suggestions to the fellow wanting to detox (original post here) You suggest separating the fiber and green phyto product.  My shake includes the fiber and powder, hopefully this works for general use.  It would be very challenging to figure out how to use both separated.

The Vitamin Professor Responds:

Dear Stephen,

Thank you for your interest in ALL ONE and this blog.

Certainly no harm will come from mixing a shake that contains one of our ALL ONE Multiple powders and our ALL ONE Totally Fiber at the same time.

However, keep in mind the particular functions of the two different supplements.  ALL ONE Multiple powders are designed to add, infuse and supplement various nutrients into the body whereas ALL ONE Totally Fiber is designed to assist in the elimination of various toxins from the body. That is why I recommended to take the ALL ONE Multiple in the morning before the rigors of the day.  The vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other food factors in ALL ONE will help provide greater energy at a time when it is needed.

The same logic follows as to why I recommend taking ALL ONE Totally Fiber in the evening before retiring.  The blend of organic flax along with various soluble and in soluble fibers from date fiber, prune fiber, barley fiber, rice fiber, beet fiber and psyllium husks help a more thorough elimination upon arising in the morning.

I will reiterate here as I did in the post you referred to in your question:

I believe that taking psyllium husks by themselves is far to harsh on the system.  They are inexpensive but, it is my feeling, they should be buffered with other more gentle fibers like organic flax, date fiber, prune fiber, barley fiber, rice fiber, beet fiber.

Does it make sense?

Think of it as: Good goes in … bad goes out.

Hope this addresses you question.
