Supplement Reference Guide
• Preserving health
Objective: potentially stave off chronic or age-related disease by improving the daily
o
nutrient intake achieved through diet alone
• Safely enhance sport and fitness outcomes
Objective: hasten and support fitness/weight control goals
o
Objective: improve training-induced performance results
o

Position on use of supplements for health

Multivitamin and mineral formula (MVM): all persons of all ages should use a daily MVM to
complement one’s best efforts to define and consume a proper diet.1,2
At a minimum, MVM supplementation is insurance against common and unavoidable shortcomings
driven by typical daily diets and local food supply or availability. At best, the daily increased level of all
known vital nutrients supplied by the MVM may indeed allow optimal cellular performance. Levels of
nutrition delivered by diet combined with a MVM (significantly higher but well within a safe range) has
more potential than diet alone (especially within a range of acceptable calories) to supply all cellular
entities/enzymes with enough materials to operate at full capacity thus avoiding a potential triage effect
that may be at the root of many chronic and age-related diseases.3,4 (see Appendix 1: dotFIT
Worldwide’s Position on Vitamin & Mineral Supplementation).
Calcium & Vitamin D: supplement if daily needs of calcium (1000-1200mgs/day) and vitamin D (400-
800IUs/day) are not met by food, sunlight and multivitamin mineral formula.5,6

Position on use of supplements in support of weight control

Dieting to lose weight is difficult for everyone and generally ends with most of the weight regained
within the first year.7,8
The goal of incorporating a dietary supplement or drug into a weight loss program is to assist the
participant in complying with the daily routine that leads to weight reduction. The supplement
ingredients must have safely demonstrated the potential to act in one or more of the following ways:
• Help create and maintain a calorie deficit by increasing daily calorie expenditure when
compared to a non-supplemented state
• Raise energy levels that may make one more active throughout the day
• Reduce the drive to consume food
• Decrease calorie absorption
The dieter would cease supplementation once the weight goal is reached or when they have their daily
routines under control to continue making progress without supplements.

Supplement Reference Guide

Position on use of supplements for enhancing performance

Maximizing potential during high-level competition involves athletes exploiting all available resources –
some good and some bad. In the 2008 Olympics, 90% of the 11,000 athletes reported regularly using
dietary supplements. There was not a single supplement contamination case, giving a “thumbs up” to
the dietary supplement industry for making safe, unadulterated substances.9
There is unequivocal evidence that a limited number of natural substances prepared and ingested
properly can safely improve training-induced size or performance for many athletes.10,11 Historically,
however, athletes have had a tendency to not follow directions. Many subscribe to the old adage, “if a
little works, more is better.” The practice of overconsumption of anything—such as foods, dietary
compounds, and drugs—can lead to problems. On the other hand, proper supplementation for
performance has often been shown to generate truly remarkable benefits, and this in itself can save
many athletes from turning to illegal anabolic steroid use, which has well-known, harmful side effects.
Present rationale to avoid training plateaus or improve performance and size by using a nutritional
strategy centers around findings that the extent of negative protein balance induced by exercise appears
to remain constant throughout a prolonged training regimen.12 Consequently, repeated exercise
sessions continue to provide opportunity or “open the door” for positive muscle reorganization.
Therefore, when the benefits of training and diet on muscle mass and performance have stabilized,
specific nutrient supplement regimens may play a role in plateau avoidance and progressive
development for some athletes.

Position on final individual recommendations

All dotFIT programs prepared by dotFIT Worldwide are designed to screen individuals based on physical
characteristics and goals in order to safely and properly integrate dietary supplements into their fitness
programs to accomplish the above stated outcomes.

Position on manufacturing and facts regarding dotFIT™ products

Before nutritional compounds become products or are recommended for consumer use, all ingredients
must survive rigorous legal and scientific review and testing. The following conditions are met:
• Identify best, current clinical research supporting use (evidence-based)
• Identify data supporting safety and efficacy including long-term empirical data (see Table 1
below and Evaluation Guidelines)
• Identify proper ingredient dosage and forms
