Choosing a Multi-Vitamin

Consumer Conscious

It is best to take multiformula vitamins (multi-minerals and multivitamins) as a foundation if you are self-prescribing: there is the risk that taking high levels of single supplements can disturb your metabolism or increase the chances of toxicity. This is especially the case with vitamins A and D.

Men have unique health needs. Prostate issues will affect more than 50 percent of men during their lifetime. Lycopene has been associated with a reduced risk of certain prostate issues and cardiovascular disease.

What to Look For

Whichever you choose, do opt for the multiformulas that provide a broad range of nutrients per tablet/capsule. Always check the labels on multiformula products and aim for the following safe levels of vitamins and minerals:

Vitamin Tablets

Vitamin A 7,500 iu
Vitamin B1, B2, B6 25-50 mg
Vitamin B12: 50 mcg
Vitamin B3 (Niacin): 50 mg
Folic Acid: 400 mcg
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid): 50 mg
Vitamin C: 100 mg
Vitamin D: 200 iu
Vitamin E: 50 iu
Boron: 2mg
Chromium: 50 mg
Copper: 0.5 mg
Iron: 0.5 mg
Manganese: 0.5 mg
Selenium: 50 mcg
Zinc: 10 mg

Do not be swayed by price, and opt only for the cheapest. In the case of supplements the old adage "you get what you pay for" can apply. Prices generally reflect level of research, preparation and ultimately quality control invested in the product - when we research, we look for quality at a reasonable price. Rainbow Light fulfills both.
