Nutritional Supplements Vitamins and Minerals  About-Supplements

Over the next few pages we are going to take an in depth look at Vitamins and how they work in your body and the benefits of taking a supplement to make sure your body can get enough to keep its "pantry" full.

But first................

There are 39 minerals and nutrients that your body needs everyday to maintain optimal cellular health and support and the guidelines for dosage and amounts of each have been blurred until recently.

But thanks to the work of several ,independant Bio-scientists from different parts of the world the myths around this have been removed.                              

The Comparative guide to Nutritional supplements

Was developed by Dr Lyle MacWilliam BSc,MSc,FP and his team to help debunk the myths surrounding what an optimal supplement should contain.Through sound scientific research and expert medical science they created an international standard called the blended standard to test products to ,for potency,purity ,bioavailabilty,form and completeness as well as araft of other things.The Blended standard is now recognised throughout the world as the "perfect supplement" on paper.

They tested approx 1000 products off the shelves at random to this standard and the products were scored from 0-100% of the blended standard.

If you havent seen this before or got your own copy then get one because it makes for some pretty scarey reading .Out of the 1000 or so products tested about half didnt even get to 0% of what a supplement should contain.Thats right 0% out of 100% !!!!!

I dont want to harp on about that for too long but 0% ? What the hell are these manufactures feeding us if the capsule or pill conatins zero % of the vitamins ,minerals ,antioxidants and nutrients we think we are paying for when we buy a product.

The top 500 products are listed in this compendium by name and also by score out of 100 % of the blended standard

One particular product came out at 96.1 % out of 100% and has been the top product in four versions and editions of the compendium.This is the kind of product everybody should be taking.Not one that rates at 2% or 3%.I was outraged that products that were so poor could actualy be even allowed to enter the market place. so lets take a closer look at why the huge differnence in numbers,because less than 100 of the top 500 of these products scored more than 50 %,and only 6 scored more than 90%........
