Lessman's Updated Essential1?

1Professor — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 16:55:48 GMT

Lessman's New Essential1 is now called Nuance Max.

Today's Special on HSN starting midnight tonight (April 5) or 9 pm California time.

Great to have more included in one tablet, but I just took my current Essential1 bottle out and it seemed the SAME as the new? Here's the new Nuance Max:

Does some who is now taking Essential1 [with better eyes than mine] see a significant difference?

I'm all for Lessman re-branding and marketing a product.

A fan of many that I take, in addition to the Essential1.

Just wondering if I go ahead and use up my current stash before ordering the new one.

Today's label check helped me realize that even BIOTIN is included in Essential1.

Lower levels than I'm taking as a separate supp—however, I need to stop all biotin supps before blood tests since it tends to interfere with with various reactants in the blood testing [especially thyroid testing].

Ok @1Professor - I went and got my bottle that I ordered during last year's TSV. Below, I have listed just the changes. If an ingredient is not listed, it did not change from last year's bottle. I did start with COQ10, then went to the top of the ingredient list. I know, did it in a awkward order, sorry about that. The first number is last year's bottle, the second number is this year's bottle that you have listed in your original post.

Here is what I found. Again, first number is last year's bottle, second number is taken from your list.

COQ10 - 10/100mg

Boron - 50/100mcg

Vanadium - 50/120mcg

Vit E - 60/40IU

Calcium - 80/50mcg

Magesium - 40/20mg

Zinc - 12/15mg

Selenium - 150/120mcg

Chromium - 120/100mcg

Molybdenum - 75/50mcg

If you are concerned about any of the numbers above, please check your bottle. The writing is so small and I may have read a number wrong - didn't use a magnifying glass when looking at it.

Hope this helps!

@1Professor and @JudyL It's just a name change.

However, I don't understand WHY a name change is necessary if everything else is the same, which is what it says below.

I was running low, so I purchased the large bottle.

I am certain Andrew will clarify all of the changes if any in his presentation on the air, stay tuned.

His multi vitamin is excellent except for me it's too much biotin. And yes @1Professor , one should stop taking biotin for at least a week when having a blood test and checking the thyroid.

@JudyL @piperbay @Shelbelle @World Traveler + all:

Fabulous detail work, @JudyL.

Noticed the new label itself highlights COQ10 and increased it to 100.

However, I am taking a COQ10 Lessman supplement in addition, and it is 200 mg, plus 1000 D3.

The Dilemma:

As we age, we need more of various things.

What works for someone 45 is not enough when you hit 75.

Lot of new publicity about the need for more B12 (which Inow take, as a sublingual, after listening to a neuroscientist explain how many people are now found to be deficient in B12.

Great point, @World Traveler -- why the name change?

Must relate to marketing.

Also Nuance is an ODD choice, not shouting strength in any way.

WAIT!

My mistake, based on creative fonts.

It appears to be Nuonce?

A created word?

I stopped taking the Lessman.......too much vitamin D.

santorini — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 19:27:12 GMT

He explained the name change in depth in a presale video yesterday. He reserved the name "Nuonce" 20 years ago and knew he would use it at some point. There are currently lots of other supplements on the market with the word "Essential" in their names so he wanted to rebrand now.

Re: Lessman's Updated Essential1?

JudyL — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 19:53:48 GMT

@1Professor - I'm not good at being consistent with taking my supplements. I still have enough from last years Essential TSV to probably last me until Fall or early Winter. Same with the Fish Oil supplements. Also, take a CoQ10 vitamin that is 100mg but get that from somewhere else.

Knowing me, by the time next April rolls around and he has another "Essential" TSV, I'll probably be ready. I'm so lazy about taking vitamins that I will go weeks sometimes months without taking them.

If you get the new vitamins, hope you like them.

World Traveler — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 20:44:26 GMT

@santorini Thanks for the info. Certainly makes sense to change the name now.

Does HSN offer Auto Ship on these? I've been looking for a methylated multivitamin. In the past, I have always looked at Lessman supplements for ingredients but would buy comparable but less costly alternatives. I'm not finding one that's satisfactory.

I see Auto Ship is available when buying direct from his website.

@cindyNC I was concerned about that too because it seems all the calcium supplements I see have vit D in them too. I take Andrew's calcium as they are easy on my sensitive stomach. My PCP always includes a vitamin D test in my labs, which I just took last week, and I'm right where I should be. So taking whatever it is I'm taking along with my diet seems to be working. Phew. It's nice to get those labs done yearly!

@JudyL

The only differences I see looking at my bottle from last year and your list - CoQ10 already 100mg and Vitamin E was 60IU. No changes for either.

Re: Lessman's Updated Essential1?

monie monie — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 22:13:16 GMT

Just clarifying my own post. The last few years, I've purchased the Essesntial 1 version that had the added CoQ10 of 100mg. Looks like there are two versions again this year. The regular 360 count is $69.99 and has 10mg. The other version is $119.99 and has 100mg.

I'm not sure I really need the extra CoQ10. I may buy the regular version this year.

@monie monie @JeanLouiseFinch @World Traveler @JudyL + all

It seems that, with age (which we all hope to continue attaining), more CoQ10 (especially for heart) is recommended:

Re: Lessman's Updated Essential1?

JeanLouiseFinch — Sun, 06 Apr 2025 00:15:35 GMT

I ended up finding a suitable option after all.

@1Professor - I agree with you about the CoQ10. I'm taking 200 mg.
