What makes a good multivitamin?
What makes selecting a multi-vitamin so difficult is the fact that nutritional supplements are not regulated by the FDA and are not required to meet over-the-counter (OTC) standards.
The manufacturer is solely responsible for the quality or their product. Unfortunately, the majority of supplements on the market don't live up to their label and there is no safeguard for the consumer.
In order to attain the full benefit of a vitamin, it must dissolve quickly in order to be absorbed by the body. Nearly two-thirds of the nutrients in most supplements remain undissolved or are excreted, thus depriving the body of the promised benefit. This is especially true with many popular one-a-day tablets.
Another aspect to consider is chelation. This method of wrapping minerals that are hard to absorb in amino acids in order to "trick" the body into more readily absorbing them is another way to ensure maximum bioavailability of a supplement. However, this expensive technique is often omitted by many manufacturers in order to cut costs.
Clinician's Choice™ supplements are chelated, guaranteed to dissolve within 30 minutes and are manufactured to OTC standards to ensure that you are getting the most out of your nutritional supplement.
