Changing Brands Can Change Your Life

Are you okay with feeling just okay? If you’re like nine out of 10 Americans, you don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, and that means you may not be getting enough of the right nutrients. That’s a great reason to supplement what you eat, which can make a big difference in your health down the line. Being well means having the energy and vitality to enjoy life to its fullest.
But how do you get the right nutrients in the right amounts? Taking just any supplement won’t help provide comprehensive, balanced nutrition.

The other day I decided to put my vitamins to the test.  If I'm going to continue to take Shaklee Vitalizer and educate others about their awesome benefits, then I want to know that I'm actually soaking up all those nutrients and minerals!

I filled two glasses with water about an inch deep.  I plopped a Women's 1 A Day into the glass on the left and one Shaklee Vitalizer into the glass on the right.  Now, what are our expectations when taking vitamins?  That they dissolve and our bodies reap the benefits of the nutrients and minerals housed inside that tiny pill.  Well. The Shaklee Vitalizer began to dissolve immediately.  I didn't say rapidly, but it did begin to dissolve immediately.  After an hour and a half of being in the water the Shaklee Vitalizer had turned to what looked like dust.  After six hours the Women's I A Day had somewhat dissolved but there were still significantly sized pieces of vitamin among what appeared to look like dust. 
My experiment concludes that my body is soaking up the contents of the Shaklee Vitalizer, but is more than likely excreting portions of the Women's One A Day.  How much money did I waste in the past on vitamins that I assumed were helping me simply because they were called vitamins?

Are the vitamins you are buying really worth the money?  Many of us can dramatically benefit from vitamins, but often end up buying vitamins that are substandard, of poor quality, or spending money we don’t need to.

Q:  What really makes a good vitamin?  
A:  A good vitamin is first, absorbable, meaning it breaks apart in you digestive system easily, then gets into your blood so it can nourish your cells. Second, it should be of high potency, with amounts higher than the outdated RDA levels, which are just too low for those of us wanting to maximize our health. Third, a good quality vitamin should be standardized, meaning the first cap has the same amount of vitamin as the last. Fourth, it should be free of preservatives, colors, lubricants, & fillers, which can cause reactions and prevent absorption. Last, it should come from a supplier that uses quality raw materials. What you must remember is that most vitamin companies (manufacturers) use suppliers for the raw materials to make their vitamins. Different suppliers provide raw materials that are dramatically different in quality. This is why there is often such a dramatic difference in vitamin quality between brands.
