Women's health expert/researcher, Susan Lark, M.D., confirms natural nutrients can boost women's vitality, energy

POTOMAC, Md., March 20, 2001—In today's society, many women struggle to keep pace with the demands of work, home and even leisure-time activities. When women become chronically tired, they often reach for “quick energy fixes,” such as candy bars, energy bars, colas and coffee. However, it is proven that these "quick fixes” don't work. In fact, most will actually drain energy from the body by disrupting carbohydrate metabolism.

A noted authority in clinical nutrition, preventive medicine and women's health, Susan Lark, M.D., has discovered that women have the amazing ability to fine-tune their bodies to produce energy from the nutrients they consume. “However, if a woman's body chemistry is even slightly out of balance, this energy is often locked up and unavailable,” says Dr. Lark, who is also the co-author of a new book, The Chemistry of Success: Six Secrets of Peak Performance. “And this can rob her of physical, mental and emotional well-being, as well as her quality of life.”

Dr. Lark offers four secrets of proper body chemistry in women:

• Maintain a balanced thyroid with two key nutrients—tyrosine (an amino acid) and iodine;
• Maintain body-energizing ATP with two other natural substances—co-enzyme Q10 and L-carnitine;
• Maintain circulation, oxygenation and blood flow to the brain with the herb, ginkgo biloba; and
• Keep the body in the proper alkaline/acid balance. Too much acidity promotes muscle weakness and fatigue.

Because so many of her patients were struggling with fatigue, Dr. Lark began working with biochemists and nutrient distributor, Doctors' Preferred, Inc. (DPI) of Rockville, Md., to create a new natural energy formula exclusively for women. Called Energy Vitalizer, it is the first and only nutrient that balances a woman's body chemistry in the four most crucial ways. “This is the most exciting energy breakthrough for women I've seen in my 26 years of research and medical practice,” Dr. Lark says.

“We are delighted to assist Dr. Lark in the development of her unique nutrient formulation,” says Linda Werner, DPI director of Women's Health. “Energy Vitalizer contains the ideal dosages of the key vitamins, minerals and other nutritionals to help a woman's body better convert food into a steady stream of energy. It's exciting to consider that this can optimize body chemistry for the millions of women who suffer daily from fatigue and being 'bone tired' for no obvious reason.”

“Energy Vitalizer is the perfect, all-natural and, perhaps, only solution that addresses the true source of fatigue in middle-aged women,” says Jonathan E. Missner, senior vice president of Healthy Directions, LLC LLC, DPI's parent company. “Most importantly, it contains no Ma-Huang, a Chinese herb often used in energy products; nor any form of ephedrine—the active ingredient of Ma-Huang—a stimulant commonly used in over-the-counter medications for asthma, hay fever, colds and weight loss. Further, Energy Vitalizer may be safely taken with most traditional medications, including those prescribed for low thyroid.”

If you are taking any prescribed medicines, Dr. Lark also recommends that you always check with your doctor before adding any new nutrients to your daily regimen. For more information on fatigue and women's body chemistries, please visit Dr. Lark's web site, www.drlark.com, or call 888-314-5275.

A graduate of Northwestern University Medical School, Dr. Lark has served on the clinical faculty of Stanford University Medical School, where she continues to teach in the division of Family and Community Medicine. Drawing on 26 years of personal research and professional success at creating peak health for women, Dr. Lark provides unique, scientific-based solutions to maintain a vital and well-balanced lifestyle.
