This Weekend’s Today’s Special and More
First of all, I would like to apologize for not writing a blog in advance of last weekend’s Omega-3 Today’s Special. I was buried in work preparing for the shows with all the new charts that the formula changes permitted. Plus, in the months leading up to the show I was more distracted than usual, since my Dad had major surgery. He has since recovered wonderfully. I mentioned a couple of times during my January shows that the April Today’s Special would be an Omega-3 Today’s Special, but I know that mentioning it in passing on TV is insufficient and I should have written a blog. I am sorry. I will endeavor to do so more diligently in the future.
There are two more Today’s Specials coming up in the next several weeks. This weekend we will focus on our incredible Ultimate Eye Support with higher levels of Lutein, along with Zeaxanthin, Bilberry, Black Elder, EGCG and more. It will be offered at an enormous savings, despite all the increases in the cost of the very expensive ingredients that go into this formula. In short, it has never been offered at a lower price and this is even a special version. One should not be without extra Lutein and Zeaxanthin, particularly if one is aging. Last time I checked, we are all aging. I suppose aging is not so bad, since life is a wonderful gift; however, wouldn’t it be nice to age without some of the less desirable changes associated with the aging process? Plus, no body part is more victimized by normal age-related changes than our eyes and those changes are the precise issues that the Ultimate Eye formula targets with its research-proven ingredients.
A few weeks later on Sunday, May 6th, and due to popular request, there will be a live remote from our solar-powered manufacturing facilities in Henderson, Nevada. For those of you who want to see Lincoln, he will of course be there, since on May 5th he is celebrating his 4th Birthday and was kind enough to invite me to the small event he has planned. The Today’s Special will be a new version of my Essential-1 multivitamin with subtle, but very important changes including higher levels of Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C. It will of course be at its best pricing ever as well. Plus, it goes without saying that during both of these events, we will have special pricing and free shipping and handling on all my products.
Also, I have heard some of the commentary about the new structure of my visits and as a result, we will modify things so we can get greater variety in the shows. I will eliminate the Sunday afternoon single hour for the Today’s Special and when the airtime is available at HSN, we will add 2 hours on Saturday morning and/or 2 hours on Friday evening. These hours will solely be dedicated to a diverse array of products with lots of variety and not that weekend’s Today’s Special. I love this suggestion, since as important as the Today’s Special is, this change will enable me to answer a wider range of questions and issues that everyone might be curious about. Of course, the Today’s Special is a great way for everyone to get their favorite products at amazing savings, but these additional hours will allow everyone to learn more about a broader range of ingredients and a fuller treatment of all the systems and functions of our bodies. I hope to be able to put these changes into effect as early as July.
Lastly, I have read some comments that although our Maximum Essential Omega-3 formula capsule is smaller than the typical Omega-3s out there, I understand that some folks want an even smaller capsule. For that reason, you will be pleased to know that I decided several months ago to keep our standard Essential Omega-3 formula available. Maximum Essential Omega-3 is less than two-thirds the size of a typical store-bought Omega-3, whereas our Essential Omega-3 formula is just over half the size of some of those enormous horse pills. We created Maximum Essential Omega-3 in order to provide a formula that with a single capsule you could reach the precise “magic” 500 mg level that so many folks seek, but nevertheless, with our standard Essential Omega-3, you still get the same incredible formula, albeit at slightly lower levels and in a slightly smaller capsule. I once considered only offering the higher potency and greater value of Maximum Essential Omega-3. Please rest assured, I listen carefully and our Essential Omega-3 formula is not going anywhere. It will stick around for those who seek an even smaller capsule.
Thanks so much for your comments, questions and support of our prenatal program. See you this weekend.
Best of health,
Andrew
Vitamins that is . Ha !
Thank you Andrew and Muriel for your wonderful products and recent cook books. I recently have had neck surgery . I decided to eat more healthy. I bought both cook books, Secure and my regular vitiams I get from you . I’m losing weight and feeling less bloated and after 2 months I’m going back to a high stressed job. I am 61 and feel so good these days. I contribute it to you and to Muriel’s great recipes. I’m making one or two every day. I never thought I’d be watching a man talk about vitiams and be glued to the TV. I am now watching your web cast. You have enlighten me with a vast ray of information to make a better healthier me. I am looking forward to the Smoothie and Fish and Salad cook books too ! Thank you Andrew and Muriel .

Good Morning Mr. Lessman,
I have a question: I’ve recently been dx. with preDM. I’ve been reading trying to educate myself more on how to handle ME. I’ve read the supplements that are needed with proper diet, exercise, and overall lifetstyle are cinnamon, fenugreek, Acetyl-L Carnitine,Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Cal& Vit D, Chromium, Fish Oils, Ginseng, Gymnema, EGCG,and Magnesium. Is it possible you could put a together these supplements for preDM or those who are already DM. Would be nice. Thank you
Addendum: Your charts show we would need huge amounts of certain food to get the dose of CoQ10 in your product. How is it metabolized and excreted? If we are deficient, I can understand why, but when we were less stressed and not taking so many pharmaceuticals, how did we get enough CoQ10 to provide energy for our cells? Does this say something about what diet we should be eating given the many diets out there that claim to be the best for our human bodies?
Andrew,
I have been watching you for as long as you have been on HSN. I take many of your products and love your philosophy about life and your responsibility as a manufacturer of products and an educator.
I am a Nurse Practitioner and have recommended your products for years to my patients. I have even fantasized about working with you somehow. So happy for you to have found Muriel. What a great match.
Question: Why should we take such high doses if never would eat the amt of food needed?
I’ve heard that you can get too much vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. Is this still true if they are B6 in the form of pyidoxine hydrochloride and B12 in the form of cyanocobalamin as in your Essential 1? Or are these forms like vitamin A in the form of beta carotine where the body converts what it needs?
Hi Andrew, I love your products. My only problem is prioritizing. I would love to buy them all! The ones I do choose though, I feel a great benefit from. I notice ” the difference” with the vitamins I take. I am 45 years old, and I am constantly told I don’t look it. I attribute that to good genes, healthy lifestyle, and of course your vitamins! Thank you for making the best vitamins in the world!
There are studies that show that High Linoleic Acid & CLA help reduce belly fat and satiereal saffron extrac tto curb appetite. Do you have any of these products in your pipeline?
Aiso, can you replace the artifical sugars (sugars with an -OH, alcohol group)with stevia leaf?
Dear Andrew,
In regards to your multiple vitamins, is there iron in the women’s. If so how much?
It’s to bad there is no data when I hit on supplement facts?
Thanks
Robert
Hi Andrew,
I’m a 60 year old female, and I’ve just started taking your Essential One Multi-Vitamin; however, my doctor wants me to take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily in addition to this. Will you ever have a 5,000 capsule for Vitamin D3?
Thank you,

I would like to know why you don’t offer Turmeric as a supplement. I have been taking it for several years & have read so many positive benefits from taking it.
Thank You,
Candi E.
I am using about five of your products and I’m new to HSN. There has been a lot said about Raspberry Ketones, and getting them in the purest form. I believe you are the best source to get pure Raspberry Ketone.Will you be making this product for distribution soon?
Hi Andrew – I have a LOT of your products.
When will you be back for a visit – I’ve searched everywhere on HSN.
I love the free shipping :)

Hi Andrew,
I have a question about thyroid function? Do you think you will ever make a supplement with iodine and iodide to support thyroid function? I would love to try one, and I trust you. So I am hoping that your company will create a supplement to support thyroid function. Thank you.
I can’t find it either. When will you be back Andrew?
If i purchase Vit. D3-1000 plus Calcium Intensive Care then how do I get magnesium. Do you take the Calcium Magnesium Intensive care at the same time? Or is that too much calcium?
Hello Andrew,
Dr. Oz recently recommended DIM (diindolylmrthane) and I have tried your cruciferous product but didn’t see the actualy DIM ingredient. Can you comment about DIM and your views on it for post menapausal women and/or in general? Would love your view as I have every confidence in your products.
Thank you,
Robin
What is the date of when Andrew will be at HSN?
Hello Andrew,
I just bought the essentials-1 MVI as the TS and was wondering what kind of gelatin is used in these capsules? is it animal based, as that may be a problem for a lot of us. I don’t want to return the MVI before finding this out.
Thanks!
Hello Andrew,
I have a question. I am 66 years old. I may have ordered too many of your vitamins. I ordered the hair skin and nails, eye support, calcium, digest assure, friendly flora, vitamins you had this week-end. It that too many to take. I have taken your hair and eye vitamins before. Please let me know if I need to take this much vitamins. Thank you.

Hello Andrew~
Short and sweet…I am looking for a really good multi-vitamin for my teenage (to be 15 this November) twin boys. Would the Ultimate 1 be appropriate for them? They are healthy and play sports regularly (soccer) but despite my efforts at home I am sure they are not getting all of the vital nutrients and hydration their bodies need everyday. Please help!
I was wondering what are the essential vitamins and supplements that one must take? I am 44 year old female. I take loratdine 10mg and 100mcg Levothorzine daily. I am also a nurse. I did order the Ultimate Eye Support and Energy and Fat Metabolism and Omega 3 daily. I am overweight. Trying to work on it but I work 16 hours days 5 days a week and 2 hours a day on the weekend. I try to fit my workout when I can and try to eat right on the days I can’t. Thank you.
Do you recommend Mushroom Complex and will you be adding it to your line of products? How about a stand alone product of Royal Jelly?
Thank you,
