Vitamins - Are You Getting What Your Paying For ?

Are you really getting what your paying for in vitamins and minerals.
Big manufacturers know that you do not study chemistry and generally do not know the difference between Zinc Oxide, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Zinc Orotate or Zinc aspartate. they use that to their advantage by putting the cheapest form in the bottle. Did you know that Zinc or Magnesium bound to an oxide is absorbed very poorly, approximately only 5% is absorbed by the body. Sure its cheap but if your not absorbing it then whats the point. Amino acid chelate forms are not much better.
As soon as i give someone a absorbable form of Zinc such as orotate or aspartate they notice the difference within a week and verified via skin-folds namely the pectoral fold drops!
Don't be cheap with the simple stuff.
Magnesium is another classic case. When I give clients a topical form of magnesium or one which has 4 different chelates such as orotate, aspartate, fumerate and glycinate in a capsule their sleep improves, they feel less anxious and the abdominal fold and insulin sites namely the upper back and suprailliac reduce.
As a rule do not buy over the counter products as they are for the mass market instead buy practitioner only range as they have to get results so their clients improve otherwise they go out of business.
It costs alot of money to mass market some multi's which doesn't leave much for quality ingredients.
