The Essentials: The Foundation Above All!
The Essentials: The Foundation Above All!

supplements; which supplement to take, whether a certain one is interesting, what I think of a particular product… And it is always a great pleasure to answer you.

Three elements always come up:

  • Are you taking the essentials?

  • Why do you want to take this supplement? (No supplement is relevant without a reason.)

  • What is the quality of the product you are considering?

In terms of quality, I remind you that we are the only company, with Vitoli and BASE products, to guarantee that all ingredients are standardized and all at the quantity necessary to allow effectiveness. Two aspects that are very rarely respected and that allow, respectively, 1) to be sure of what is in the capsules and 2) that the product can be effective.

As for the essentials, many people want to take different types of supplements because the marketing or the reason mentioned attracts them (e.g., unclogging arteries), but they do not take the essentials that first allow their cells to function properly and to be able to repair damage properly on a day-to-day basis.


The essentials – at optimal doses

This is what I recommend before considering anything else, to ensure the proper functioning of your cells and thus, as much as possible, the best for the human body. Note that two of these products are often consumed at very low doses, even though these are the doses recommended by Health Canada.

  • Vitoli Healthy Aging; one capsule per day, preferably at bedtime.

Vitoli Healthy Aging contains the most scientifically documented gerosuppressors, allowing a particular synergy discovered during our research with Concordia University. These are next-generation anti-aging molecules that activate the same beneficial mechanisms as fasting. From the Greek “gero,” meaning aging, and “suppressor” for the slowing of the process, gerosuppressors slow the primary aging of cells and stimulate cellular repair mechanisms.


  • BASE Omega-3; optimal dose of 40 mg/kg of your body weight per day (EPA + DHA) – always with food.

Omega-3s are essential. They are important both for the proper functioning of our cells, as well as for the proper functioning of the immune system and the reduction of inflammation. At therapeutic doses, they help reduce blood pressure and blood lipids. They are necessary for the proper functioning of the brain and the reduction of the risk of cardiovascular disease. The dose recommended by Health Canada, of 1000 mg/day for an adult, is clearly insufficient to provide most of the desired benefits.


  • BASE Vitamin D; optimal dose of 50 IU/kg of your body weight per day (x7 once per week in a teaspoon).

We know it for bone health and the proper functioning of the immune system (defense and inflammation), but like omega-3s, it is essential for the proper functioning of cells in general and the proper functioning of the brain. We know that vitamin D is produced in our skin thanks to the sun, through ultraviolet B rays, but those of us who live north of the 45th parallel have a production problem. These ultraviolet rays reach us between 10–11 a.m. and 2–3 p.m. and in a sufficiently significant way only during the summer season (if you expose yourself enough to change color).

• BASE Probiotics; one capsule per day, for one month once per season, in cases of digestive symptoms, antibiotic use, infection or travel.

Probiotics have become, for good reason, one of the most popular categories among supplements. Digestive problems are common and probiotics can help in many ways. Unfortunately, quality varies greatly from one product to another, and very often, the specific strains in the product are not even identified (many companies mention only the bacterial species and not the strains). Did you also know that probiotics should always be in individual packaging and in a capsule protected from passage through the stomach? These are two quality characteristics that are very rarely respected, but for which BASE Probiotics will meet your expectations.

Do not hesitate to write to us if you want my opinion on the supplements you are taking. It is always a pleasure to answer you.

Did you know? We have an “The Essentials” combo that allows a 10% savings.
