The time of taking a single nutrient vitamin or
mineral like Vitamin C or Vitamin E is outdated. Recent studies show
conclusively that vitamins and minerals work together in synergy,
and if one is inadequately supplied, then the others cannot work very
effectively. Multi-vitamins are definitely the way to go.

Q:
How long
has High Performance Fitness been in business?
A:
High Performance
Fitness was incorporated in 1997 and started
marketing its 1STEP liquid multi-vitamin &
mineral to the athletic departments of major
universities in 1998.
Q:
What are
the credentials of and how many years experience
do the creators of the 1STEP product have?
A:
1STEP was created
by two doctors of biochemistry and the founder
of High Performance Fitness. They have over
55 years of combined experience in the nutritional
supplement industry.
Q:
Should the
multi-vitamin be taken more than once a day
for optimal results?
A:
Taking multiple
dosages is a good idea for people who have
a very active daily lifestyle.
Matt Heringer, owner of Functional Fitness
in Santa Cruz, Ca. states: "Typical prescription
to my athletes is as follows: One shot first
thing in the morning, another shot after a
hard workout. This is to help with recovery
and replenishment of lost minerals and vitamins.
You must replace all of these vitamins in order
to start the rebuilding process (replenishment
of glycogen stores and protein synthesis).
At the end of the day, right before bed it
is also a good idea to take another shot so
that the body has plenty of the essential vitamins
to repair all of the damaged tissues from the
days workouts."
Q:
Should I
consult my doctor and get his opinion before
I begin taking this vitamin?
A:
It is always
wise to consult your physician before you take
any supplemental nutritional product because
he/she is aware of your individual needs and
circumstances.
Q:
Can children take
1STEP?
A:
Yes, they can, but once again it is always
wise to consult your pediatrician first. He/she can help you determine
the proper dosage for your child based upon age and weight.
Q:
Why should
I take a liquid multi-vitamin over my capsule
or tablet vitamin?
A:
Studies have
shown that the body absorbs only 10% to 20%
of the nutrients available in capsulated form,
which means of every $100 spent on capsules
or tablets, approximately $90 is wasted!
Nearly 100% of the nutrients from 1STEP Liquid
is retained, and the vitamins and minerals
are absorbed almost immediately.
Q:
Can I get
my daily allowances of vitamins and minerals
from just eating food?
A:
Yes, you can receive
the recommended daily allowances of vitamins
and minerals from the foods you eat. Unfortunately,
however, with today's busy lifestyles
many Americans simply do not have the
time, desire, or "know-how" to consistently
plan well-balanced menus to ensure that
the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals
are received each day.
In addition, some individuals do not want
to consume the quantity of food that would
be necessary to receive the proper amounts
of these nutrients. A multi-vitamin is
a safe, simple, and effective way to ensure
that your body consistently receives the
recommended daily allowance of vitamins
and minerals.
Why gamble with your
or your family's health? Although it is
always important to eat a variety of healthy,
wholesome foods from each of the basic
food groups, a multi-vitamin is a safeguard
that will ensure your body is receiving
the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals
which are necessary for achieving optimal
health and maximizing daily performance,
thus improving the quality, productivity,
and longevity of life!
