How to Select a Good VITAMIN & MINERAL SUPPLEMENT
The Three Most Important Issues Concerning
Selecting a Vitamin / Mineral Supplement:
1. Is the supplement safe to take?
Vitamin supplements are simply an encapsulated group of ingredients
taken from plants,
or created in a laboratory. Inside the capsule can be many harmful
substances - both
immediate hazards and accumulative ones.
2. Does the supplement get absorbed?
Supplements (as well as food) travel from the stomach, to the intestines,
to the blood stream and to their final destination — if everything
goes right. There is a lot that can go wrong.
3. Are there proven health benefits?
Companies will boast superior ingredients, liquid vitamins being
better than capsules, capsules being better than tablets, etc.
Don't be distracted by the hype.
Bottom Line - have they proven health benefits
from taking the supplements?
