should I take additional supplements above and beyond the Total Balance Men's Premium to meet the standards the web site suggests? I am 44 years old with no known heart issues (however, I have never had blood work to identify such issues either).
Heres the link, http://www.health-heart.org/vitamins.htm

If you are in good health, have reasonable exposure to sunshine then there is no need to take any extra supplements in addition to the Total Balance Men's Premium, other than one of our Omega 3 Fish Oilproducts. I agree with most of the info in the link but not all. For example, I do not agree with high doses of Vitamin C and never have. There is evidence to suggest that doses in supplement form in excess of 400mgs a day can act as a pro-oxidant when taken orally. In my view, you should only take high doses when you are sick, or intravenously.
The form of vitamins and minerals that you take are very important. Some are more bio-available than others. We endeavour to keep up with the latest developments in this area and use the best form. For example, for Vitamin B2 we use the Riboflavin-5-Phosphate form, likewise with Vitamin B6 we use Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate. These forms are not widely used in supplements as they are around seven times more expensive. But, the bio-availability and efficacy is much better.
What may be an idea for you at age 44 (if you are not already doing so) is to upgrade your Omega 3 Fish Oil to our Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10 which has the Kaneka Ubquinol (CoQ10) in it. This is not the ordinary CoQ10 which is oxidised, but the un-oxidised form which is much, much more effective. Using this along with the Premium version is all you really need to ensure that you have a good foundation for maintaining your current good health.
