DESCRIPTION
$7.99 Bayer
Ketostix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis 50 ea
Dr. Atkins says in Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (DANDR),

are psychologically supporting. To see them go from beige
to purple is to receive in chemical code the message, I'm
losing weight." pp. 102-103
$5.67 Natrol
Omega-3
Softgels, 1,000mg 60 ea "Omega-3 oils.
Fish oil containing EPA, DHA. I use 1500-2000 mg of the
EPA on many patients. It is particularly valuable in those
whohave triglyceride elevations. Some studies have described a
cholesterol elevation in some people taking EPA, but I'm not
convinced I see that response. I think it's very valuable.
Alternately, flax (linseed) oil contains a different Omega-3 oil
and may be of great value to certain individuals."
DANDR p.183

Made
Potassium Gluconate Tablets, 550mg 100 ea

metabolic resistance", Dr. Atkins discusses fasting. "So I believe, as does most everyone in the field, that

electrolytes like potassium." DANDR p.233

Made Super
B Complex Tablets with C 100 ea "Niacin. This is the nutrient that
most doctors know about. Used as a drug, it can worsen
diabetes and cause liver abnormalities. Used as a nutrient
(i.e. with the rest of the B comples, and in lower doses) it is
simply a contributor to cholesterol and LDL control. I
usually prescribe 1000-2000 mg in a timed release form to avoid
the rather unpleasant flush (heat wave) that develops at peak
absorption time." DANDR p. 185
$5.63 Nature
Made Vitamin C Tablets, 500mg, with Rose Hips 130 ea "Recent research is confirming the long-term

times as much."DANDR p.185

L-Carnitine Capsules, 250mg 30 ea "A nutrient essential for transport of fatty
acids, it is valuable to heart patients with angina,

Pantothenic Acid Capsules, 250mg 100 ea "A derivative
of pantothemc acid, the precursor of coenzyme A, pantethine
plays a pivotal rol 'in cholesterol metabolism. Would be
the "drug of choice" in cholesterol control if it were
a drug. I usually provide 900-1800 mg when the lipid picture is
not favorable."DANDR
