Junky vitamins are often passed on the quality and supported several times by a doctor or a celebrity. There are many things that companies with low-quality for use to hide their poor quality, spending more on marketing under the hood.
As a specialist in nutrition and the owner of a head of a food supplement, I am often asked to explain the issue of quality. Why are so many things from the perspective of consumers, including details onraw materials into a product, get the best handle on is used to throw in a multivitamin and mineral business. This may help to see through the spin and understand that the actual production of the company philosophy.
Being able to understand what is the mark of a multi-vitamin, you can quickly distinguish Between a quality product and a product cheaply. Receive, minerals and vitamins minerals initiated two differentCompany product.
Beware of low prices ore
Minerals are essential nutrients for health, many enzymes in your body needs to function properly. Minerals in food are low because of excessive food processing, agriculture, land on our poor and use of pesticides, which disrupt the natural cycle of sulfur - the content does not leave us exhausted only adulterated food chemistry, food, Food has a lower value. And 'now common sensefine quality mineral supplement, including important trace elements.
These minerals are all the businesses of many vitamins and bone. Soil minerals are known as inorganic, whereas in plants or minerals, plants are structured by living cells and thought as organic (as different as the word describing food organically, without pesticides).
The most convenient form of calcium is the chalk gymnastics, football, otherwise known as inorganicCarbonate. Other forms of low-cost base on the rock of calcium containing bone meal, oyster shell or dolomite. Another convenient form is calcium gluconate (Calcium 9% and 91% glucose sugar). These forms of calcium require large amounts of hydrochloric acid to make bio-available, so they have is poor absorption (which is why they are used as antacids against). If your body is not very useful, and biological hazards, depending on your medical condition underlying the calcification of arteries,Nodes in the chest causing alarming, gallstones or kidney stones. And 'unlikely that calcium helps so bad for the bones.
Magnesium oxide is the cheapest form of magnesium, often appear in low quality products with calcium. Oxides antioxidants need to turn off when they are absorbed. There is no excuse for using a mineral waste form, valuable antioxidants, unless of course you have less concern for people who do. Products of inorganic calciumCarbonate and magnesium oxide can be found in the trash - most likely with another product of such an undertaking.
What minerals are the best?
Minerals in food supplements are generally kept in substance to another. What are Related to a profound impact on how they are absorbed, and more importantly - where they go and what to do in your body.
Of calcium citrate (20% football, 80% citric acid) is known for being better than the inorganic calcium was added toCarbonate. However less than 1,000 mg of calcium citrate to give you 4000 mg of citric acid, like eating a pound of tomatoes. Citric acid can then many tubers to your cell engines (mitochondria) by flooding them with too citrate citric acid cycle (such as flooding a car with gas). People who are tired or fatigue often respond little to large amounts of citric acid, making them more tired or headache. Since your cells no way to use them as effective as citric acid,Calcium citrate is a form of high quality ore on a daily basis to use. Small amounts do not matter - large amounts of energy problem particularly for people.
In an effort far from magnesium oxide, some companies have a different form of salts of magnesium aspartate economic (20% magnesium, 80% aspartic acid), known to have been. The aspartic acid in small quantities, is often found in food and not bad. In large amounts, adds the excitement of nerves - which is notand if the nerves have already pointed out (you can consume excitotoxins when many of them to act). Aspartate is never a good choice as the main form of magnesium or calcium in each supplement.
What you really want to have minerals in forms that do not absorb only good but also do something significant. For example, in my daily energy multi-vitamin that I use Wellness sick of magnesium (not citrate), because this form not only absorbs but malic acid is alsoAnother valuable nutrients. Cells (where the magnesium is him), and effectively contribute to the turn of the citric acid cycle to produce energy. It 's a quite different reaction of citric acid. Malic acid induces cellular energy to move forward and citric acid, Krebs cycle as nutrients missing when tires.
I use a variety of calcium in the form of products of well-being of the resources that I knew, on that football, not only, but all you needBoth can be useful to your body. For example, AEP Calcium helps strengthen the nerves, so they can better withstand stress, such as ASP is a nerve nutrient. Taurito Calcium (Tri Cal) helps to relax the nerves, such as taurine is a relaxing known .*
Xcel daily wellness resources bones have a football in the form of microcrystalline hydroxyappetite (MCHC - small particles of bone intact) because they act as a true bone food transportable and can be easily absorbed, and to maintain boneeasily from existing bone matrix attached .*
Coral calcium is good?
Depending on the nature of coral calcium can be an excellent food supplement. Coral calcium from sea water, such as products used for spa resource, has a natural calcium magnesium part 2-1 part and many other trace elements from ocean find. It is usually not collected from dead coral reefs in crystal clear waters of the coast of Okinawa (iteco-hostile activities of the harvest). Among the companies known to provide the mix of raw materials for its quality for human consumption. Bone health of the citizens of Okinawa legendary .*
These forms of calcium carbonate and magnesium in a structure, but describes very different from gymnastics chalk. They are well organized in geometric structures, organic living coral reefs (like a true food form) is formed. They are the only form of mineral, both fat and water solubleand are absorbed better than citrate. They rapidly produce mineral ions that your body can easily in many metabolic processes .*
Beware of companies with coral calcium, the harvest campaign. This form of the mineral had "survived" and won the magnesium and trace elements. In Japan, use this form to make concrete for roads. It is sold as food supplement in the United States to customers unawareAre true coral calcium. These companies always add magnesium to lower prices again in the product and their label (usually a list of magnesium oxide). Therefore, if you add a product with magnesium coral calcium - discard.
What are amino acids chelate?
The ability to bind to a protein of a mineral is one of the major advances in the biochemistry of human nutrition and minerals. society in which these specific amino acids used inchelation process - otherwise how can you know what? quality companies like to brag about the amount of amino acid chelates, for the good not only for a more expensive product, but amino acids are also useful for your health. For example, I use a lot of magnesium glycinate in my products. Glycine, an amino acid, is a natural sedative and detoxifying nutrients high. Really high quality amino acid chelates double duty in yourMetabolism.
Unfortunately, there are many amino acid chelates out there who do not know what you need to take. You are always so "amino acid chelate on the label, which is a legal characterization of what they are and a great way to get quality that is listed lurk. Whenever the term" amino acid chelate "is used to describe the form of a mineral, that the company has something to hide. If she was really proud of their product that would tell you that itit is.
This amino acid chelate nonsense has already made a number of years, but a new peak with the introduction of a sort of hallmark of these chelates called Biokey ®, which are used in a product promoted by a well-known medical alternative health. The site Biokey not disclose the forms to use minerals or the use of amino acids. When I called the company I was evasive when I asked what they were.
Biokey Minerals ® were used for animal feed alongfood before and it is interesting to note that the animal had a lot of websites with information to come. It turns out that all these minerals chelated with hydrolyzed soy protein. Nowhere on the label it says all human beings, they contain soy (which is illegal under FDA rules for labeling during allergy). Furthermore, unless non-GM soy and GM are now genetically toxins, proteins that contain the edges.
The site also has revealed that the animalthe true nature of the minerals are being used. For example, football as football. Calcium is an approved food additive, but this part is formatted to be detoxified, is not so easy for humans to remove and is responsible for methanol poisoning. Industry, football is used to accelerate the setting of concrete. If anyone thinks that they are consuming their football (soccer - Biokey ® amino acid chelate), a more absorbable calcium. Yes, it absorbsBeautiful and a package of supplies containing GM soya, calcium formate.
In my opinion, we must ensure that each product, the amino acid chelates that do not reveal what they contain.
Tablets vs. Capsules
minerals are of the highest quality of physical space, which means that you need to take more capsules to higher levels of intake of minerals is optimal for bone health to achieve. The poor quality of football is often compressed into a tablet. Tabletsare glued together and coated. They are hard to break, and is common, especially mineral-containing tablets that break through the intestine and not.
Any company that puts more vitamins or minerals in a tablet is not in your interest in the quality of the mind. Once multivitamin products of a company or an important mineral in a tablet - Run For Cover!
The capsules are the best vegetables and Caps (Vcaps) are safer than beef gelatin. VeggieThe closures are made from cellulose and are easy to solve for the digestive system. They are more expensive, about $ 2.00 for the retail price of a product - a small price to ensure that the prions of mad cow disease will not pay to eat your brain.
What about liquids?
liquid minerals are mainly in the sulfate or chloride forms. Taken orally, they tend to work quite disgusting and very difficult - not to mention, are not superior forms of nutrients.They are relatively stable in water. Mineral ion electrolyte drinks are good, but not a good way of greater quantities of minerals required to maintain.
liquid products, vitamins often contain wild claims to be more absorbable. The reality is that the nutrient-grain (especially vitamin B) decomposes rapidly in liquid form and lose their biological activity. It is unlikely that one of them to maintain their activity for more than a few weeks. If the FDA cracking down on theseCompanies (and what a day), soon realizes that their label activity is wishful thinking at the time of trial. Do not waste your money.
What are B vitamins?
B vitamins are nutrients that can not be synthesized in sufficient quantities by the body to maintain your health - you should eat. Fresh unprocessed food is an excellent source of vitamin B. B vitamins are in many foods such as whole grains, meat animals, beans,Vegetables and fruit. Having a balanced diet of whole foods and unprocessed is the best way to get these nutrients from food. At least half the American population is not sufficient B vitamins for optimal health.
In dietary supplements of B vitamins are produced by microbial fermentation. This is similar to the idea of friendly flora in the intestinal fermentation of dietary carbohydrates, protein and fiber and useful by-products of metabolism.After the B vitamins are grown under controlled conditions stabilized, they are cleaned and prepared for use in food supplements.
variables for a problem with the B vitamins - especially the way they are clean. China's entry in the market for food supplements for raw materials led vitamins - cost to the consumer market with low B underestimated. Production standards in China at this time are not reliable.
Really Cheap B vitaminstend to stink a lot. All B vitamins have a slight odor will be stronger with age of the product. Start the B vitamins at low prices in a state smelly. This is why many companies to put in the form of pills, then try to reduce the tablets mantle - the smell. Open a box of cereal fortified with vitamins B and take a strong smell the contents - you will see what I mean.
In addition to the purification of commodities, the actual shape of the final product of vitamin B which is a hugedifference in quality. Resources and welfare, I focus on forms of vitamin B co-enzyme in our products, because they absorb light and are already in need exact shape of the cells - an important advantage of metabolism. These types of high quality B vitamins are much more expensive than the inactive forms most often used in supplements, but make a big difference to health.
An inactive form of vitamin B energy (as ATP) to make it more useful. This process may not workEven those who are already stressed or short on energy - and therefore feel more of their vitamins. In my daily vitamin I rely on forms of energy co-enzyme B-vitamins.
You can easily assess the quality of a B-vitamin B12 and vitamin B12 in the form in the product. cyanacobalamin B12 is cheap in the form of. Your body can not really use this substance in this form, you must first remove the front molecule that appears to be cyanidedetoxify them. Then you have the energy to train in one of methylcobalamin coenzyme (adenosylcobalamin or round).
Why do companies use cheap products to B12, if so, you must detoxify the cyanide? Answer - It '1: 10, prices methylcobalamin. What you want to take the cyanide? The question is of great importance for the present with chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia.
Because B12 is almost always more expensiveThe subject in a multiple vitamin is another thing that almost nobody in the product. This kind of fraud is the ridiculous price of vitamin B12 daily set by our government for protection against anemia (6 mcg) supports. This level of participation does not understand the absolute necessity of B12 required to work in the office of your mind, health of your nerves to balance stress and assembly of proteins, chemical reactions in the liver and many systems of hundreds of enzymes and Get your health.
In three capsules daily multiple vitamins are energy, 800 forms of coenzyme B12 (400 mcg mcg methylcobalamin for your nerves and liver and 400 mcg adenosylcobalamin to support the formation of structural proteins) .* do not have to buy B12 added to support primary health care - would be in your multivitamin.
Natural or synthetic
If ever a huge confusion on any subject, there is the question> Natural and synthetic, this debate has different meanings depending on the vitamin is in progress.
As I said before, the B vitamins used in dietary supplements rose by microbial fermentation process. It 'more like food. In this sense, everything is natural and a natural source. They are then cleaned and stabilized by another molecule, such as hydrochloride. This new molecule occurs more vitamin Bnaturally in foods, and briefly. These synthetic vitamins are generally better absorbed from food that your body needs vitamin from a plant or animal fibers to digest for free for absorption.
Once a synthetic vitamin B, then "digest" stripped stabilizing molecule and adding energy to change it in a completely natural co-enzyme, then your body uses. People who may be little energyProblems with the activation of synthetic forms of vitamin B.
I like to use forms of B vitamins in their natural habitat entirely co-enzyme. They are easier to absorb, need to have energy to do work with them and not have unwanted byproducts that have detoxification metabolism. From my experience, make a big difference.
Examples Synthesis of a natural on a label:
Vitamin B-series registration - Co-enzyme natural forms - SyntheticForms
Thiamin (B1) - Thiamine thiamine HCl
Riboflavin (B2) - Riboflavin-5-phosphate - Riboflavin HCI
Niacin (B3) - hexanicotinate Inositol - Niacinamide
Pantothenic acid (B5) - Pantethine - D-calcium pantothenate
Pyridoxine (B6) - Pyridoxal-5-phosphate - pyridoxine HCl
Folic acid - folic acid, calcium - folic acid
Cobalamin (B12) - methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin - Cyanacobalamin
If you look at shopping for vitaminsfor the inclusion of co-enzyme forms of natural B vitamins, especially B vitamins very important as vitamin B12 and folic acid. And then try to make sure there are enough of them actually help with your energy and mood - which is higher than the daily value of our government for the prevention of vitamin B deficiency diseases obvious. Your goal is to nourish the nerves and the plants that produce energy, so you can work better - a difference that you can actuallyDo not hesitate! *
Natural or synthetic Beta-Carotene
Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant associated with longevity and wealth. Studies with beta-carotene supplements are often promoted by large pharmaceutical companies that produce beta-carotene (as the German company BASF) synthesis, and their use. All studies related to the negative beta-carotene have also involved the synthetic form, never the natural form.
Where in the world of synthesis of beta-caroteneword summary assumes a new meaning. In this case, beta-carotene did not handle any natural person, but the extraction of acetylene to benzene rings and the establishment of benzene rings, which is 100% as carotene, and trans-beta.
There is no source of food containing beta carotene, 100% all-trans-beta. Natural beta-carotene from foods containing a mixture of all-trans-cis-beta-carotene and beta-carotene 9. Although the trans form isjoint tissues in your body seems to be that the cis-form to behave correctly. The cis-form capable of producing 9-cis retinoic acid, to normalize as a hormone in the signaling process of cell division and growth of healthy tissue does. found that smoking 'synthetic beta-carotene (no-cis form) would have had an increase of lung cancer. It' is very different from studies of natural beta-carotene, the gains in support of protecting health and profits, includingLung .*
You can always say, the synthesis of beta-carotene for the label said only "list" Beta-carotene is not a source. All natural products contain beta-carotene is still the list in which beta-carotene. The most common source of natural beta-carotene is the sea algae Dunaliella Salinas, resources that will be used in wellness products and more. A mixture of 9-cis-trans beta-carotene and beta-carotene and related nutrients, suchalpha-carotene, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin. natural source of beta-carotene contains a powerful complex of nutrients is not the synthesis of beta-carotene .*
The lifespan of mammals is directly related to the concentration of beta-carotene in the blood bound. The alpha and beta-carotene cis forms are stored in the liver, adrenal glands, kidneys, testicles, ovaries and adipose tissue. They act in synergy with other antioxidants like vitamin E to protect your health.Take only the supplements with natural carotene from a well-defined beta-food source - throw all products containing beta carotene synthesis in the garbage - in other products manufactured by the company (as unlikely to give too little thought to health).
There is a big difference between what is caused by synthetic beta-carotene, vitamins B and fixation. synthetic vitamins are from a natural source of B. They are not of high quality is theB vitamins because they need energy to turn their energy and the cyanide (in the case of synthetic B12 detoxification). If your body can not use them, are simply washed with urine (are soluble in water). However, they have the potential, in general, to use your metabolism. Beta-carotene from synthetic chemicals and the lack of important cis form of beta-carotene with high impact in the organs and cells and helps regulate the division of healthy cells. BodyThe fabrics will store the synthetic beta-carotene (it is soluble in fat), no cis-form in the tissues to ensure the natural behaves normally. Why is not important nutrient synthetic cis-beta-carotene should not be worn by anyone.
Vitamin E Story
Vitamin E is widely used in fraudulent attacks in the media - based on work with the American Heart Association is committed to dangerous drugs and vitamin E. deny this story is to encourageextensively documented in my article statins Scam Marches Hon High quality Vitamin E is one of humanity's precious nutrients - especially older Americans who want their immunity, improve memory and cardiovascular fitness .*
The worst form of synthetic vitamin E and beta carotene-like synthetic chemicals are not food. Is usually derived from coal tar. And 'designated on the label because it has always been an "L" D "So, the synthetic formread "dl alpha ..." instead of "d alpha ..." If you have a product with "DL" as also belongs in the garbage - is useless.
The best form of vitamin E are oils and should be placed in capsules. It is not possible, these oils in powder, a vitamin that easily in a more or wording that the antioxidant vitamin E could easily oxidize (spoil can be pooled) and lose their effectiveness. For this problem, a molecule is linked to vitamin Eto stabilize it so as not to spoil if exposed to oxygen. If succinate is then connected to vitamin E is soluble in water. If acetate is then linked to vitamin E is fat soluble. Improved quality of products include other tocopherols (beta, gamma and delta), although the alpha D, standardized form for power.
The water-soluble form of vitamin E (succinate) is important for vitamin E deficiency corrected immediately. The soluble form (acetate) is absorbed into the cellMembranes, where its antioxidant protection for a long period of use. It is not difficult for the body to convert these forms of vitamin E in their biologically active form by succinate or acetate. The key is to make sure not to purchase a product with the form of "DL - as a chemist and is a poor antioxidant capacity .*
Finest Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a vitamin recommend in a capsule form, in addition to vitamin Eis in your wording antioxidant vitamin or a mixture.
The vitamin is naturally present in the market today comes from soybeans and is either 30% or 50% soybean oil (you can not tell by looking at the label). Often, other forms of vitamin E (beta, gamma and delta) in alpha-tocopherol by a process called esterification converts. This makes the product less expensive than other tocopherols also play a role in health. It 'done better to remove the alphaPrice. The methods of treatment are often rushed or inattentive, causing oxidative damage to soybean oil. This means that the product on the shelf, the antioxidant vitamin E to neutralize the rancid soybean oil is used. Although there are some companies that make high quality soy esters of natural vitamin E, are a minority. The majority of soy derived natural vitamin E is not top shelf.
I used one of the few real pharmaceutical nonesterified bed-alpha tocopherol. One day 10 years ago I received a call from the producer, could no longer make this product because there was not enough high-quality soybeans, to make him leave (aggravated food nutrition) said. Fortunately, this was the time competitor tocotrienols.
Today, E is the best form of natural vitamin are called tocotrienols, a new type of vitamin E, much more than the normal antioxidant alpha-tocopherol and otherProperties also naturally promote cholesterol metabolism - alpha-tocopherol does not matter.
Summary
If you count on your support supplements for your health and the quality is the number one priority that determines their effectiveness. Much of what happens in every company more vitamin is not clear on the label. However, there is enough information on the label, so you can understand how long this society truly quality. MoreCompanies want a material that will benefit most from investing.
The types of minerals are used, which must be shown for most of the eco-can help consumers understand the real quality warned that went into the bottle. Most companies have the idea that you never understood this bank - and only listen to their hype. Make your preparations of vitamins and minerals of various products to handle information in this article, you will quickly see what IWhen I say that only 1% of companies in food supplements on the market today really care about your health.
