Question concerning Multi-Vitamins?

[uls]

nadala sa salestalk

if Centrum or One A Day sold their products the same way USANA does, ganun din magiging presyo ng mga yan

[safeorigin]

well... bioequivalent would be the term...

reminds me of a patented drug that was produced as a trihydrate...

then somebody had the bright idea of marketing it as a bihydrate and gets away with it...

innovator loses a lot of money from research etc...

smartarse well... you get the picture...

but... oh well...

not quite, research nyo USANA before you assume anything It's from my personal experience and sa mga kakilala ko din... There is a reason kung bat MLM ang way ng pagdistribute neto sa mga consumers. kasi if direct selling : that would be - distributor----> customer
if pag sa iba : dadaan pa yan sa local and regional distribution company bago sa market bago sa client. ung cost imbes na full sa product nakacut because of these other costs... now, do you really think ung gngmit nyo ngyon na binili nyo sa market is really what's your money's worth? Research po muna

[safeorigin]

ever heard of pharmacoeconomics and ponzi?

[uls]

it's not even about bioequivalence (like generic drugs vs branded with expired patents)

there are no patents involved in vitamins

if you want to come up with your multivitamin brand, just look for a contract manufacturer and order

yeah yeah

research my a$#

all mulitivitamins are basically the same

the raw materials are the same

iba iba lang ang raw material suppliers (most of them from China. Kahit US brand yan, the raw materials are mostly imported from China. Naturally, they won't say where they get the raw materials)

the differences are in branding, packaging, marketing

There is a reason kung bat MLM ang way ng pagdistribute neto sa mga consumers

coz it makes tons of money for the top 2% of the network

you're all the same

USANA, Amway, 1st Quadrant, Nuskin, Neways, Xango, Goji, Noni, Forever Living, Stem Enhance etc

[safeorigin]

^was referring to Zeus' reply

and bioequivalence isn't merely limited to generic vs. branded drugs...

it also applies to QC assays when comparing them to standards, in vivo/in vitro studies, etc...

bioequivalence after all is one of the variables of pharmacoeconomics...

but yeah... same thing at a different price... who are you kidding?

[uls]

BTW, kung quality ang pag uusapan, buy dietary supplements from Canada

Unlike in the US where dietary supplements do not need FDA approval, Canada requires dietary supplements to be approved by Health Canada before they can be sold in the country

at least you know a govt agency screened them

[safeorigin]

^yep

most of the time when we do assays of vitamin C's, their actual contents barely reach 90% of the label claim

usually companies just fill them with diluent...

though I must say... I'm impressed with the peeps who came up with Sodium Ascorbate...

does have a better in vitro result...

Mas okay pa rin siguro ang natural na Vitamin na nakukuha sa pagkain at exercise.

[roninblade]

^ yeah, but you can't always eat right everywhere you go. you have to make do with whats available.

[uls]

^^

but you don't have to buy overpriced vitamins from an MLM

[Marcos01]

There are many benefits of using the best natural multi-vitamin brand. Make sure the multivitamin you choose has anti-oxidants and amino acids and should never include sugars, preservatives, coloring agents, wheat products or lactose as an ingredient. It is important that you read the label prior to purchase to get the best multivitamin brand.

Effects of high-dose B vitamin com... [Psychopharmacology (Berl). 2010] - PubMed - NCBI

RATIONALE:
A significant proportion of the general population report supplementing their diet with one or more vitamins or minerals, with common reasons for doing so being to combat stress and fatigue and to improve mental functioning. Few studies have assessed the relationship between supplementation with vitamins/minerals and psychological functioning in healthy cohorts of non-elderly adults.

OBJECTIVES:
The present randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel groups trial assessed the cognitive and mood effects of a high-dose B-complex vitamin and mineral supplement (Berocca(R)) in 215 males aged 30 to 55 years, who were in full-time employment.

METHODS:
Participants attended the laboratory prior to and on the last day of a 33-day treatment period where they completed the Profile of Mood States (POMS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Cognitive performance and task-related modulation of mood/fatigue were assessed with the 60 min cognitive demand battery. On the final day, participants also completed the Stroop task for 40 min whilst engaged in inclined treadmill walking and subsequent executive function was assessed.

RESULTS:
Vitamin/mineral supplementation led to significant improvements in ratings on the PSS, GHQ-12 and the 'vigour' subscale of the POMS. The vitamin/mineral group also performed better on the Serial 3s subtractions task and rated themselves as less 'mentally tired' both pre- and post-completion of the cognitive demand battery.

CONCLUSIONS:
Healthy members of the general population may benefit from augmented levels of vitamins/minerals via direct dietary supplementation. Specifically, supplementation led to improved ratings of stress, mental health and vigour and improved cognitive performance during intense mental processing.

i dont think vitamins can give you really what your body needs.....

our body is producing natural anti bodies and vitamins just enough for our body to work properly.....

the question here is what your body really needs and in what amounts.... how would one know?

if you feel tired and fatigue do you lack vitamins na ba? or baka naman KUlang ka lang sa pahinga at tulog? mataas sugar mo?

or baka naman mataas cholesterol mo kaya feeling mo nanghihina ka?

taking vitamin supplements is not the answer

para sakin the best way is to eat healthy exercise regularly and have a yearly general checkup... especially mga 30 plus year old...
