What Makes a Superior Multivitamin?
We’ve said it frequently: More than 90% of the multivitamins on the market today are a waste of money and not worth taking, and one of the best investments you can make for your health is a high-quality multi. It is not easy to make a superior multi, but that’s what we do.
So, what specifically are the features that make our multi superior?
- It is a high-potency formula, which means you get higher amounts than in other multis. Government RDAs are not sufficient for optimal health, and most people don’t absorb nutrients as well as they should. By using only the purest and safest forms of vitamins and minerals, we can safely provide generous amounts.
- All nutrients are in biologically preferred forms for enhanced absorption and activity even for those with compromised health. Over 90% of other brands do not use these preferred forms because they cost more. The nutrients in our multi are identical to those found in food, so the body recognizes them and knows exactly what to do with them. Your body is getting what you are paying for.
- We combine our nutrients with the same transporters and co-factors used by nature in food to ensure utilization of the nutrient by the target cell. Higher utilization means better value for your wallet and your health.
- All our nutrients are very pure—pharmaceutical grade or better. We never use the cheap food-grade ingredients found in most vitamins because they contain contaminants. While they won’t kill you, they can cause allergic reactions and interfere with nutrient effectiveness. Our hypoallergenic multi is suitable for extremely sensitive people who can’t tolerate other multis.
- Formulating a balanced multi takes great knowledge and skill to maximize nutrient synergy and manage nutrient interactions and competition. For example, some people have asked us about a large amount of manganese in our multi. Manganese competes for absorption with copper, zinc, magnesium, and calcium; our formula balances this competition.
- Our multi is formulated to have an alkalinizing effect, as nutrients work most effectively in a slightly alkaline environment.
- Most multis have hidden ingredients, often “inert” ingredients for faster production/easier handling—fillers, binders, and excipients that can contaminate or overpower nutrients in the tablet and block their uptake. Up to half, the pill can consist of these excipients. Beyond Health does not use these excipients and our full disclosure labeling tells you everything that is in our multi.
- Our multi is free of wheat, oats, corn, barley, gluten, soy, egg, dairy, yeast, sugar, preservatives, colorings, artificial flavorings, GMOs and animal products.
- It takes energy for cells to take up nutrients. Other products assume this energy is present, but it’s very common to find energy deficits that impair cell uptake. We include Krebs’ energy salts and other energizing factors to increase cell energy levels. This substantially increases nutrient uptake.
- Many vitamin pills do not dissolve in time to be of use to the body. These products are a complete waste of money; some well-known brands are famous for not dissolving. The Beyond Health Multi dissolves when needed for maximum absorption, which is one more reason why it produces superior results for the customer.
- Our unique post-production testing assures that everything on the label is in the pill and nothing else.
All this extra support for getting nutrients into cells and utilizing them achieves an enormous enhancement of supplement activity over even other high-quality products, with an activity enhancement of 5 to 10-fold. Compared with cheaper, mass-merchandized supplements activity enhancement is more like 40, 50, and even 100-fold higher.
Hmm, 50-100 times more value for your money. Something to think about next time you’re in the market for a multi. The Beyond Health multi may often cost three or four times as much as a competing product, but when you’re getting 50 and even 100 times as much nutrition—that’s the best buy!
