About ESSENTIAL HEALTH GUIDE
This webpage and the e-book series “Essential Health Guide” is dedicated to you – all health conscious individuals, that dare to make their own informed choices.
We live in an overflow of information – new resources are being published daily; groundbreaking, controversial, contradicting… and in the age of the internet (and the freedom of everybody to publishing on anything) the quantity and the access to information is no issue to any educated reader. However, the quality is too often questionable, and judging upon it without a relevant scientific background as well as keeping up with the flood of newly produced data and articles can be quite overwhelming even for those who are working in the health professions or related industries. As such, the challenge we have taken on for this webpage and the EHG reports and e-Book Series, is to gather all the relevant information out there, combine the findings and conclusions, and present it in a way that is short and easy to understand and easy to apply.
(If you are looking for more detailed explanations and background information, please, refer to the classical study books and latest published resources)
We believe we can best serve you by focusing on these 2 areas:
- Useful Information
– short & relevant, based on the latest research, to facilitate your own decision making
- Useful Products
– high quality, tested and proven effectiveness, to facilitate your access to health products
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE
The reports and e-Books are designed for your convenience – relevant information is provided in a short and condensed manner, easy to access, to understand and easy to apply! Despite anybody’s best intentions, every interpretation of data will always carry a subjective perspective. The information given to you herein is as objective as this could possibly be, as to our best knowledge and based on best ethical standards – however, all statements made mirror the authors opinion or are a quote of trusted leaders in this field, and we ensure they are based on the latest and most trustworthy data and research available.
In order to maintain objectivity and independence, you won’t find specific product brands recommended or endorsed, or even mentioned, within the eBooks. CONFUSED? BECAUSE EVERY COMPANY CLAIMS THEY ARE THE BEST…?
However, many of our clients are as confused by the variety of products and claims from producers as they are by the information overflow. The shelves in supermarkets, health stores and pharmacies are bursting from multivitamins and other supplements – and yes! There are huge differences in the quality of products available in the market place today. A consumer not only has to understand which are the main ingredients of a product, but also in which formulation they are used, which dosage was chosen by the manufacturer. Even more difficult is to judge upon the quality of the raw material used and the manufacturing processes (eg, whether a company follows a process called GMP, which is only required for pharmaceutical products, but not for food and supplements. The same applies to the USP [US Pharmacopeia], which some supplement suppliers adopt, most don’t).
And - does the product really contain all the ingredients as they are listed, and what other ingredients might be used as fillers, that are not stated on the label?
Basically, it comes down to your ability to trust a product and a brand and judge upon the composition.
We acknowledge that this again can be a challenging task, to do your own research on which product fulfills all the criteria mentioned above. Therefore, we have added a section about useful products under each of the 3 main topics and are sourcing those products for you where it makes sense, as it might be difficult for you to get them in your country – you can find those in our ONLINE SHOP.
