Hi all,
My advice is not to take vitamins supplement. It will do more harm than good. There was recent report on that.
Synthetic vs. Natural Vitamins
Here are some facts that you won’t find advertised on most of the vitamin supplements at your local vitamin store:
The majority of commercial vitamin supplements are made up of synthetic vitamins.
Synthetic vitamins do not perform the same functions in your body as vitamins found naturally in whole food .
Many synthetic vitamins deplete your body of other nutrients and tax your kidneys before being excreted through your urine.
If you want a comprehensive understanding of what vitamins are and what they do in your body, it would be best to take a full course in biochemistry. Do you remember all of those molecular formulas and chemical reactions that you studied in your high school chemistry class?
Biochemistry is really just an extension of chemistry, with an emphasis on the thousands of chemical reactions that occur in your body on a moment-to-moment basis.
Anyone who studies biochemistry learns that vitamins do not exist as single components that act on their own. Vitamins are made up of several different components – enzymes, co-enzymes, and co-factors– that must work together to produce their intended biologic effects.
Vitamins that are found naturally in whole foods come with all of their necessary components. The majority of vitamins that are sold in pharmacies, grocery stores, and vitamin shops are synthetic vitamins, which are only isolated portions of the vitamins that occur naturally in food.
A good example is vitamin C. If you take a look at a variety of vitamin C supplements, you will find that the majority of them contain only ascorbic acid or a compound called ascorbate, which is a less acidic form of acorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is NOT vitamin C. It represents the outer ring that serves as a protective shell for the entire vitamin C complex, much like an orange peel that serves as a protective shell for an orange. Real vitamin C found in whole foods like fruits and vegetables contain the following components:
Rutin
Bioflavonoids (vitamin P)
Factor K
Factor J
Factor P
Tyrosinase
Ascorbinogen
Ascorbic Acid
When you take only ascorbic acid found in your synthetic vitamin C tablet or powder, your body must gather all of the other components of the full vitamin C complex from your body’s tissues in order to make use of it. In the event that your body does not have adequate reserves of the other components, ascorbic acid itself does not provide any of the health benefits that the full vitamin C complex does. After circulating through your system, the unused ascorbic acid is eliminated through your urine.
Just like vitamin C, almost all other vitamins that we know of offer their full health benefits when they are in the presence of a number of enzymes, co-enzymes, co-factors, and even minerals. For example, Vitamin D may have as many as twelve different active components, while vitamin P has at least five different components. The mineral copper is needed for full vitamin C activity, while vitamin E works closely with the mineral selenium to provide its health promoting, anti-oxidative effect.
Clearly, it is best to get your vitamins from whole foods because whole foods provide complete vitamins rather than fractions of them. In many cases, whole foods also provide the minerals that are necessary for optimal vitamin activity. For example, sunflower seeds are an excellent whole food source of vitamin E and the mineral selenium, both of which need each other to offer their full health benefits.
How do you know if the vitamins on your kitchen counter are from whole foods or if they are synthetic?
If the list of ingredients includes an actual vitamin like Vitamin C” rather than an actual food that contains natural vitamin C like “acerola cherry powder”, you can bet that it is a synthetic vitamin.
I am recommending E.Excel product as they are whole foods.
If you choose to use nutritional supplements, it is in your best interest to use only those products that list actual foods as their ingredients rather than synthetic and isolated vitamins. While some synthetic and isolated vitamins have been shown to provide minimal health benefits, on the whole, most of them cause more harm than good and you are far better off spending your money on whole foods.

Hi babak,
My advice is not to take vitamins supplement. It will do more harm than good.
If you have read my posting in this thread, there is different in Synthetic and Natural Vitamins.
Vitamin A in apple is different from Vitamin A capsule supplement. Read my posting in detail.
To fight off any virus attack, just take wholesome food supplement to enhance immune system. Wholesome food is not man-made product.
If you wish to know more, please PM me.

Hi,
Not sure that anyone tried/heard of Mannabear from Mannatech.
My younger gal since born is allergy to dairy products. Hence, she is taking isomil milk until now. If she eats cakes, cheese, pizza etc, she will have diarrhoa and stomach upset. Until someone recommend me to try Mannabear product & after 1 month, I let her take butter cream cake/cheese, pizza. She has normal stool & nothing unusal happen. I am very happy.
Also, she is in childcare & usually kids in childcare tend to fall sick easily, but very luckily, she is healthy.
MannaBears provide your kids with:
The phytonutritional goodness of 11 different dehydrated fruits and vegetables
An excellent source of antioxidants
All-natural sweeteners, including cane juice and tapioca syrup
All the benefits of our specially formulated Ambrotose complex
A great-tasting alternative designed to support cell to cell communication
I had tried it before & it does not taste too sweet & also my gals like them very much. Always ask for more.
If your kids like to eat junk food like sweets, can give mannabear to them as it does not taste so sweet.
If anyone interested to try it, let me know.

Hi babakba
Most MLM liquid supplements do not need to got thru MOH, either AVA or HSA will do.
And you must be aware that in order for AVA or HSA to approve something, very stringent tests have been done. So no worries about all these, but gotta check for their approval.
PM me if want to know more.
Thanks

All health product must get relevant authorities to approve before selling to consumers.
If there is something wrong to the health product, by law, the company has to withdraw from the market. This applied to MLM product. MLM is just any method to sell product.
The company I recommend has factory in Singapore and was awarded GMP by AVA. They are from USA and strong in Nutritional Immunology. Nutritional Immunology, a prevention science, that studies the relationship between plant nutrients and our immune system. As the saying goes, "we are what we eat".
My baby is taking the product since 6 months old.
BTW, do you know most of the baby product contain heavy metal? It is not known to many people. What can you do? Do not let your baby drink formula milk or taking cereal. This is not possible. The only thing you can do is to detoxify the body and eat plant food to enhance immune system.
To take supplement, you must take wholesome food supplement. My advice is not to take vitamins supplement. It will do more harm than good.
If you have read my posting in this thread, there is different in Synthetic and Natural Vitamins. Just choose the product that meet the requirement of Natural Vitamins.

You don't need supplement if you take enough fruits and vegetables. But you need at least 15 kinds of different fruits and vegetables.
But in today world with polluted air and others, taking supplement is recommended. But take wholesome food supplement, not Synthetic supplement. 95% of supplement are Synthetic. Consume with care.

Not sure about exactly what you're trying to find, before taking any medicine or herbs you have to consult a doctor. To find out more or even to educate yourself you can go through some very nice websites like Healthfinder.gov etc ... also you will get a free e-book on multi vitamin here http://www.multivitaminstruth.com
