What is the Best Multi Vitamin
With so many products on the market all claiming to be the best multi vitamin, the choices can seem downright overwhelming.
It's only natural that every manufacturer will espouse the highest value for their own product, leading to confusion among consumers.
What matters the most, therefore, are the facts--plain and simple--which we aim to present here. Ho hype. No spin. Just facts. And, then, based on these facts, plus our own real world experiences.
Here are some crucial factors you must know and consider: what are the highest quality ingredients a multi vitamin can use; what are the most stringest manufacturing methods for producing the best multi vitamin; what other nutrients need to be present in order for a multi vitamin supplement to really work.
Also, what may be the best womens multi vitamins will differ from what is the best multi vitamin for men, simply because men and women have different biological needs.
So, without further delay, let's address these questions....
The Best Multi Vitamin Should....
First, let's tackle the issue of the quality of ingredients.
The fact of the matter is that most multi vitamins claiming to be the best use cheap ingredients and fillers.
Let's cover an example to illustrate the importance of this point: ingredients used in supplements can be either natural or synthetic. Studies have shown that natural ingredients have far higher potency than their synthetic counterparts. But synthetic ingredients are far cheaper, which is why most manufacturers use them.
For example, in a particular trial we came across, natural beta carotene (a plant derived nutrient that turns into Vitamin A in the body) was responsible for eliminating tumors, whereas the synthetic version of beta carotene had no effect whatsoever. Almost all store bought multi vitamin products claiming to be the best use cheap, synthetic ingredients.
Next is the issue of manufacturing. Most people do not understand just how important stringent manufacturing is. Both private and government bodies have shown that consumers sometimes only have a 20% chance of buying a product that is not contaminated with toxins or one that actually has the ingredients stated to the label!
Afterall, the best multi vitamin should increase your health, not impair it, as many of these supplements may do.
So, how can you ensure you're getting a product that is manufactured to the best industry standards?
By only buying supplements produced in pharmaceutical GMP compliant facilities, that's how. These facilities adhere to the HIGHEST manufacturing standards, the same that are required by law of pharmaceutical drugs.
Vitamins and supplements are not currently required to follow pharmaceutical GMP compliance and most manufacturers do not, because the tight regulations increases their operating costs.
The bottomline is: the less the cost for them to produce their vitamins and supplements, the higher their profit margin. Unfortunately, as the consumer, you lose in the form of contamination, and not getting the amount of ingredients you paid for on the label.
Now, let's talk about other nutrients. The fact of the matter is that the best multi vitamin product on the market absolutely cannot just have vitamins in it.
Why?
Because many vitamins and nutrients work synergistically. In plain English, this means that the presence of other nutrients are required for the vitamins to even work at all. For example, the mineral calcium needs vitamin D to be absorbed; and vitamin E needs the mineral zinc.
Moreover, many enzymes and herbs can greatly enhance the efficacy of vitamins. This is why the best multi vitamin should actually contain a completely scientifically formulated balance of minerals, herbal extracts, enzymes, and other nutrients, in addition to vitamins.
Best Womens Multi Vitamins
There is also the fact that women have different nutrient needs than men. For example, certain herbal extracts such as Black Cohosh and Wild Yam can help balance female hormones.
Men need some nutrients that women do not, such as beta sitosterol and lycopene for prostate health.
Therefore, the formulations for each product should differ depending on your gender. Go look at the typical products on the shelves of your local pharmacy and the vast majority of the products are not made with these differences in mind.
