I really like EmergenC and the reason is this has been the first

winter that I did not get my usual " winter cough " . But I have been

overdosing on it!

We use One A Day Vitamins and Minerals.

We were so glad to hear that they actually have in them what they advertise

on their bottles.

It was on 60 minutes or 20/20.

Everyone is different and so are supplements. IMO,

quality of product and how it is produced are of major

importance. However: not everyone will do well on the

exact same supplement. So its taking which ever one

works best for you...not the guy next door or even the

guy that is trying to sell it to you. Muscle test to

see if it is the correct one for you.

Personally I use Melaleuca products and have not had the flu and only

tiny colds for over three years now. Before I used to get at least one

major flu and many colds through out the winter months. Every Dec. and

Jan. I would lose my voice.

I have used myself as a ginnie pig for years...since my early 20's so

that's 20 years into the test and FINALLY found a good one.

Some vitamins may have what they say in them but...find out the

absorption values as well. These vitamins have up to 96 % and that in

my books is fanatastic! Good luck with your search. Every vitamin

works different (I believe) for each individual. Keep trying.

My vote goes to whole foods.

Sure, vitamins make a difference. I used to take them diligently.

But the B complex always stopped working after a few weeks, and I'd have

to take at least a week off before I could start them again. I used to

dread the " off weeks " .

Once I switched to whole food in supplement form it never stopped

working and just kept getting better.

Isolates compare to whole food supplements the way your 3 number

fertilizer compares to compost. I prefer the wisdom of Nature for both

my organic garden and my body.

When you take whole foods you get the nutrients that science has

discovered so far and the ones they will get all excited about tomorrow.

There are many good products out there. Do some Googling, see what

appeals to you.

Have any of you heard that Pharmaceutical grade vitamins and minerals

are superior to other grades of vitamins?

Thank you so much for all of your messages here and to my email

answer.

Diana- One thing to look for in a vitamin is how readily it

dissolves- many of the pill forms do not readily dissolve. You can

test this by putting a pill in warm water and seeing if it dissolves

or just sits there. Not sure how true the story is of a plumber who

found a whole bunch of undigested pills in a septic system, found

out they were the vitamins that had passed from one end to the other

without getting absorbed! Liquids are more readily absorbed, also

tend to be a bit pricier per dose- but you get what you pay for.

I use (and sell, disclaimer!) Oxyfresh products. We have a

Foundation Formula that is a packet of pills, includes basic

multivit/mineral, digestive enzymes, antioxidant complex, flaxseed

oil, and Vit E oil. The enzymes assist with the absorption of

these, and you can't possibly get all that nutrition into one pill.

We also have liquid nutrition products, which include a variety of

vitamins/minerals.

The best way to get vits/minerals is through food, but even the food

we're getting in the big grocery stores these days has less

nutritional value than it did 50 years ago. One option that I don't

take but think is a good alternative to my products is Juice Plus.

They've taken real food and distilled it into supplement form.

Seems to be a good company with some good products- I just prefer

Oxy, especially their liquid nutritionals.

You're correct Susan. I have a video presentation

showing how the body absorbs and digests supplements.

My daughter took the same idea and created a science

fair project showing that...similar to your

suggestion. Most supplements in tablet form do not

digest quick enough, so you get around 30-40%

absorption, where as liquid and powder forms

absorption is 70% or higher. BTW she took 1st place in

the science fair.

It also takes stomach acid for the vitamins to dissolve, so water

alone might not be an accurate test. Maybe add some vinegar to the

glass of water? Personally, I use NOW brand " Special One " vitamins.

I did a lot or research, like you are doing now, and liked this one

the best. From what I found, NOW and Solaray are about the best

brands. I can tell a big difference from others that I've used. Good

luck.

If you put a slice of apple in the water the enzymes will act similarly

as an environment in the stomache. I personally have found Pharmanex's

supplements highly effective for me and the patients. They are the

only company guaranteeing saturation levels at the tissue levels where

we truly feed. You can look at what they are doing at

www.healthsuccess.mypharmanex.com

all these tests are tests of substances and not wether your body

absorbed them. its another issue, the best logical way is to look for

third party evidence from the brand , substantiating their claims.

also, there is a website called www.supplementwatch.com who already

does the homework from you. where they have a group of scientists and

doctors who investigate and critique different brands for you and give

you an unbiased opinion. because everybody here who is selling

something will always tell you based on their own biases, i have some

articles that talk about quality of supplements and what stuff to

avoid, and a research from ucla , email me if you are interested at

Dear Jedidiah,

So is that a good thing to do with Apple then? Put a slice in water

and then drink the water? Do you have to leave it in there for a

certain amount of time?

With thanks
