Multivitamin & Mineral Product Review

After researching nutritional supplements I was amazed by the poor quality products that have polluted the industry.

One of the studies I was most interested in was the “Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements: A compendium of over 500 products available in the United States & Canada (this guide can be found at www.macwilliam.net). In this study researchers compared over 1,000 nutritional products (multivitamin & mineral supplements) from which 508 qualified. This represented the best in a line-up of 213 companies. A total of 14 variables were measured that were identified as essential for grading a top quality product. The Final Product Score was percentage-based with a maximum value of 100 percent. A score of 80 percent or above was graded as exceptional and evident of outstanding merit. To my astonishment, less than 0.8 percent of the 1000+ products initially reviewed were able to surpass this benchmark! I have provided a list of the top 5 rated nutritional supplements in the line-up as well as some of the more popular brand name companies for comparison.

Dr. Eric Asks some important questions of interest to Naperville residents - Chiropractor Naperville Dr. Eric Asks...

What causes subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Naperville chiropractic practice.
