Recently, one of
Australia’s top-rated public affairs programs did a story on how to choose a quality nutritional supplement. The report follows:-Reporter: Helen Wellings Broadcast Date: August 07, 2007 ________________________________________________________ From A to zinc, a staggering 70 per cent of Australians buy nutritional supplements, spending on average $200 per year: a total of $2.3 billion. But it is hard to know which to choose, from a mind-blowing 30,000 different types on the market. An extraordinary scientific analysis by a team of Canadian and US biochemists may come to the rescue. They have thoroughly examined more than 100 leading multivitamins available in
Australia and
New Zealand, evaluating and comparing their formulations by separating and measuring each ingredient: vitamins, minerals antioxidants and other components. Dr Lesley Braun, Pharmacist and Naturopath from the National Herbalists Association of Australia and Dr Marc Cohen, Professor of Complementary Medicine at RMIT are the authors of Herbs and Natural Supplements. We showed them the latest comparison of multivitamin products which scores brand by brand. “What you’ve got is seven experts from the US that have put together what I would call a wish list, a list of ingredients they believe would be the ultimate to have in a multivitamin,” Dr Braun said.microsoft-word-how-to-choose-a-quality-nutritional-supplement.pdf

What would be helpful would be if they also presented the ideal amount of each vitamin and mineral that one should ingest on a daily basis. Otherwise, the general consumer is still left pretty much in the dark as to how much they should take to have any effect at all. Plus, it would also be another way in which the general consumer could arm themselves when they compare various brands either online or from the brands on the supermarket shelves.

The amount to prevent degenerative disease is referred to as optimal daily allowance (ODA). Most brands of supplement has only recommended daily allowance or RDA level. RDA is sufficient for prevention of infectious diseases such as beri-beri, scurvy, etc, but is too a level to prevent degenerative diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc.
For example, ODA level for vitamin E is 450iu, vitamin D 200iu, vitamin C 1300iu, zinc 20mg, folate 1mg, riboflavin 27mg, vitamin B6 27mg, niacin 40mg, thiamin 27mg

The writer of www.alkalifewater.com has written a superior article. I got your point and there is nothing to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not disagree with: The harder you punch someone, the more your fist hurts afterwards. I will be back.
