Best Multi Vtiamins: Finding the Best and Knowing what You are Buying
Vitamin companies like to through around terms that not commonly used. We've discussed synthetic, organic, chelation and natual in various articles so let's take a look at a few other terms that are tossed around the supplement world.
Time Released: This is excellent for a you to be able to absorb the vitamin in graudal amounts throughout the day. Vitamin C and B are ideal in a time released tablet so your body can receive a consistent amount of these vitamins all day long. Without being time released (which is also known as sustained release), these vitamins could pass through to your urine within a few hours regardless of the quantity initially taken.
Fillers: Also known as dilutents are inert materials added to the vitamins to increase their bulk to make them a desired size for production.
Binders: These give cohesive properties to the powder material so it can bind and form a tablet.
Fillers and Binders do NOT have to be listed in the ingredient list and often are NOT listed.
Although Cellulose and sorbitol may be safe fillers and binders there are many that are not safe that may have severe negative side effects such as the following:
- acacia - mild to severe asthma attacks , rashes
- algin - possible mutagen, reproductive problems and birth defects
