Re: Favorite multi?

Most multis are crap. The reason being is the human body can not, in most cases, digest minerals in solid form, such as multis. Even the extra minerals added to most foods can't be absorbed by the human body. Just because it in the pill, doesn't mean it will be in the body. I think Centrum topped the list for worse ones ever. There was a study done a while back and they had 100's of people take multis and then they would take blood and see if the stuff on the label actually made it in the bloodstream. Well, something like 98% of the multis failed to deliver what they stated on the bottle.

Hands down, the best sources for vitamins and minerals is fruits, veggies and nuts. You eat those on a regular basis and you will be fine. If you insist on getting one, then go to a whole food store and get one made from whole foods, there are going to put more of what's on the label in your blood stream. The human body was designed to extract these things straight from foods, so it's not as effective at digesting them in manufactured form.

By the way, you can read "Vita-Nutrient Solution" by Dr. Atkins or "How to be your on Nutirtionist" by Dr. Berger to get a detailed explaination as to why OTC multis are crap, for the most part. Like I said, if they are made from whole food, the body can completely digest it. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, here's how to tell. Take your mulit and put it in a small amount of water. If the multi begins to rot, then the human body can digest it completey, if it just breaks down and settles on the bottom, the human body CAN NOT absorb it.

Here, read this:

Whole Food Multi Natural Vitamins
Whole Food Vitamins for your daily servings of vitamin, mineral and enzyme rich whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables.
Increase your whole food intake:
Less than 10% of Americans consume the recommended 6 to 8 servings of whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables per day. The modern trend is to skip whole foods, consume refined and processed foods and supplement with synthetic vitamins. We believe this is not the best advise for long term natural health. Increase your daily intake of vitamin, mineral and enzyme rich nuts, seeds and whole grains and use the power of nature the way it was intended with a complete whole food vitamin supplements with all natural vitamins, minerals and enzymes.

Synthetic Vitamins verse Whole Food Vitamins:
Most brands of supplements available today are made from synthetics These "vitamins" are chemical compounds that have been manufactured in laboratory to copy the molecular structure of natural vitamins. Your body is designed to absorb nutrients from food. For this reason most health experts agree that it is best to obtain your daily vitamin supplement from whole food, (real food) than from synthetic vitamin sources.

Earth Minerals verse Homeopathic Minerals:
Commercial vitamin and mineral supplements use minerals such as calcium carbonate (or derivates such as calcium citrate and others) derived from sea shells, coral or rocks. PhytoVtiamins complete whole food vitamins & mineral is made from a mineral rich food source combined with a homeopathic mineral complex.

Re: Favorite multi?

PS - it's better to pay more money and actually get a product that the body will absorb than to save money and not even get the vitamins/minerals you were expecting.
