Newly graduated holistic nutritionists may wonder which are the best supplement brands for themselves and their clients. The following information is based on principles recommended by David W. Rowland, Master Formulator of vitamins and creator of reliable and effective formulations of multi-vitamins.Optimal LevelsThe one-per-day multi-vitamin tablets, promoted in ads, very often contain just enough of the active ingredients to prevent diseases like pellagra, goiter, scurvy, beriberi, and rickets. Each of these are deficiency induced. However, to achieve and maintain optimal health, individuals may need specific nutrients in significantly higher potencies than the amounts listed in widely disseminated tables. Therapeutic levels of vitamins and minerals may require even higher amounts.Absorption of NutrientsAs a holistic nutritionist, you want to recommend the right supplements at the appropriate dosage ingested in a way that provides optimum absorption. The hydrochloric acid that is secreted by the stomach, in the digestion of food, also breaks down the ingredients in supplements. The ideal method of ingesting multi-vitamin tablets is to take them with meals, so they will be absorbed properly. It is also important to take the tablets, in divided doses, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This will give the body the opportunity to assimilate the nutrients, while, at the same time, not overwhelming the digestive system.Natural VitaminsThe ingredients in the vitamins and mineral supplements that you recommend, in your holistic nutrition practice, should contain only natural molecules, biologically compatible with the body. To make a judgment about supplements, it is important to understand the chemical names of vitamins.Vitamin A: The chemical name of natural Vitamin A is retinol, and retinol palmitate is the natural raw material used in making the supplement. For optimum health, an adult can take 10,000 IU to 12,000 IU of Vitamin A.B\u2009Vitamins: B Vitamin supplements should be natural and pure microcrystalline vitamins derived from plant or fungal sources. They should be standardized to ensure potency. B Vitamins include:Vitamin B\u20111 or thiamine, recommended dose 50 \u2013 100 mgVitamin B\u20112 or riboflavin, recommended dose 50 \u2013 100 mgVitamin B\u20113 or niacinamide, recommended dose 50 \u2013 100 mgVitamin B\u20115 or pantothenic acid, recommended dose 100\u20111400 mgVitamin B\u20116 or pyridoxine, recommended dose 50 \u2013 100 mgVitamin B\u20119 or folic acid, recommended dose 50 \u2013 100 mgVitamin B\u201112, recommended dose 300\u2009\u2013\u2009600 mcgVitamin C: The Vitamin C in a supplement is ascorbic acid, made from plant sources. It is bioidentical to the ascorbate molecule, made in the liver of mammals. The recommended dose is 1,500 mg to 2,200 mg.Vitamin D: Vitamin D\u20113 is cholecalciferol, the natural form of the vitamin, found in supplements. Vitamin D\u20112 is the artificial version, which has a greater potential for toxicity.It is important to note that some of the low potency multi-vitamin tablets or capsules contain fillers, that may trigger allergic reactions. With a high-potency vitamin, fillers are rarely used. If they are needed, the responsible supplement manufacturer will use Dicalcium Phosphate, a hypo-allergenic option.RTRE, the #1 Arterial Cleansing FormulaDavid Rowland\u2019s formula, RTRE, remains the #1 nutritional solution for people with Cardiovascular Disease, and has transformed the lives of people coast to coast for over 30 years!Over the years, ROWLAND FORMULAS\u2122, has experienced great customer loyalty.
