NEW
Our multi-formula which is the base in most of our packs (Ultra Preventive XR) has been updated with an increase in the amount of vitamin D3 to suit the laest research. Dr. Colgan has written a new article to compliment this change, and it will be available for FREE download for the month of August. The article is called The Sun Will Save Your Life. It can be found under "Newsletter 2010". Download the same as you would a newsletter. The fruit and vegetable blend which has always been a part of the UPX formula is now organic.
About The Colgan Institute
Established in 1974, the Colgan Institute is a research, consulting, and educational facility concerned with effects of nutrition and training on sports performance and on inhibition of aging. We have published more than 50 research papers, two university texts, 18 popular books, and more than 500 popular articles. Our monthly newsletter goes to subscribers throughout the world.
We have provided nutrition and training programs, and anti-aging programs, to over 11,000 athletes, including many Olympians, and more than 55,000 people worldwide, some of whom have now been following our advice for more than 30 years. We have registered Colgan Power Program Trainers throughout the world that have passed our four-year training program. We provide consultant services in human and animal nutrition, design of nutritional formulations, and individual programs in nutrition, exercise training, and regenerative medicine. We have published two books in 2009, Strong Bones and The Perimenopause Solution and have four new books scheduled for publication in 20010 and 2011.
Over the last 30 years we have developed and continuously revised and updated our supplement formulas in accord with the great advances made in nutrition science. We stay on the cutting edge of science to provide the essential nutrients for all our clients, many who have been with us for 20 years or more. Since completion of the human genome in 2003, breakthrough discoveries on the effects of nutrients on expression of the DNA code, have radically changed nutrition science. So, in late 2008 we completely revised all our supplement packs. We are proud to offer only the highest quality supplements, manufactured to the highest quality standards.
We pride ourselves on providing not only the best quality supplements available, but also the freshest. Like all good quality food, supplements do deteriorate with time. We receive shipments from our manufacturers weekly, and our supplement packs are only assembled when you order them. Most bottled supplements have spent weeks, if not months, sitting on shelves in warehouses and finally in stores. Because we assemble packs to order, please be aware of our order processing time.

Important Principles of Nutrition
Colgan Institute Supplement Packs and Programs are based on the following principles:
1. Synergy: Synergy of nutrients is the first principle of nutrition. In your body, nutrients operate only by multiple interactions with each other. There is never a deficiency of just one nutrient. there is never any nutrient activity by itself. It is the multiple interactions of nutrients that is the basis of their biological function.
2. Biochemical Individuality: Because of genetic variations, individual bodies are biochemically different from each other. Just as everyone is different on the outside we are also very different on the inside.
3. Lifestyle Dynamics: Your lifestyle and environment radically affect your nutrient needs. Nutritional requirements vary with age, sex, diet, smoking, pollution, alcohol, medication, occupation, where you live, etc, etc.
4. Physiological Dynamics: Unlike drugs, nutrients do not have rapid effects. The business of nutrition is to build a better body. That has to wait on Nature to turn over body cells. When you improve your nutrition, you have to wait on the physiological dynamics of the body to grow new improved cells to replace the old cells. The minimum time for this is three months.
5. Evolutionary Dynamics: Unlike man-made drugs, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are not foreign to the body. They are the essential components used during evolution to develop the human organism. They are parts of food that we have extracted and put into pill or capsule form. Nutrients work with your body to make you healthier.
For more information on the above principles read Dr. Colgan's "Nutrition for Champions".
