Question: Am i taking too many vitamins? Life force multi vitamins http://www.discount-vitamins-herbs.net/store/PPF/parameters/723_0/more_info.asp Hair skin vitamins Biotin 2500mcg Vit A 5000 IU Vit C 120 mg Vit D 200 IU Vit E 60 Omega XL Fish oils 100 mg fatty acids I also eat about 2 apples a day, and cantaloupe is this too much? oh and lots of vitamin fortified cereal and milk ;) ;)

Answer: It's not that ypu're taking to many, it's just that a multi can fulfill the A,C,D, and E, and the biotin as well, but if you feel the doses in the multi are too low, by all means do so. I take a multi and a biotin and d too, and flaxeed oil, so while it won't harm you, a multi may be more convienent....Hope this helps. ;)

Question: Are some vitamins (brands) better than others? Or are all vitamins basically the same? I recently bought some store brand vitamins from a large discount chain and I don't know if they are as good for me as a specific brand name.

Answer: no, get time realese vitamins. u want them to open up oin ur lower intestine so that ur body absobs it not so that ur stomach destroys it.

Question: Where can I buy items at super discount in order to sell for a profit like retailers do? For example if I want to sell vitamin/nutritional supplements like a health store does, where do I buy them in bulk and for really really cheap so that I can make a profit? For example if I go into GNC and buy a bottle of vitamins at $20.00, but GNC only paid that bottle $10.00, where did GNC get it from in order to sell it? Or another example, if I want to sell watches like a jewelery store, where do I buy these watches to make profit? Where do jewelers in general buy their watches to make a profit?(or else how would they be in business if they were'nt making a profit on the watche?)

Answer: The general principle followed here is that Retailers purchase items in bulk from Wholesalers. The Wholesalers in turn get the items from the Manufacturers. Generally, you cannot deal with Manufacturers directly (due to the scale of business) but there is nothing stopping you from opening a relationship a particular Wholesaler. As such, you find a particular type of product you are interested in selling. You then get a list of Wholesalers who sell that product and contact them, forming a business relationship. You can setup a storefront or can set up something called DropShipping. DropShipping is where you sell items with your markup (ie profit margin, you sell an item for $20 + $5 shipping that you buy from the Wholesaler at $7) but you don't actually stock the items. The WholeSaler in this case is contacted by you or an automated system after payment is made and the order is shipped to your customer with your Logo etc stamped on the item by them. They get their cut ad you take yourprofit from the sale. This is advantageous in some respects as it means you don't have to worry about storage space or old stock. So to answer your question, you need to find wholesalers or retail sellers who sell in Bulk. The bulk items are generally good for selling in markets or the $2 type stores (still make a profit) I do not know of any WholeSaler lists myself but if you check the link below, you will find quite a few listed on auction.

Question: What is the difference between prescription prenatal vitamins and OTC prenatal vitamins? Today I bought my first 1-month's supply of prenatal vitamins. At Walgreens, they were $45.00, even after my insurance paid part of the cost. They told me that there is no generic alternative. However, I see that GNC has prenatal vitamins that are over-the-counter, offered for less that $15.00. The two vitamins seem to have the same main ingreedients for the most part, and in very close percentages. Is there an outstanding reason that the prescription vitamins are better for me? Please don't tell me to "ask my doctor"....that is a given---I am just trying to plan how to pay for all these vitamins. What do you think? Also, as a tip for those of you reading this... did you know that you can use your AAA membership to get discounts on prescriptions? I learned that today. like a 20% disount. I was impressed! Okay,,,, now tell me what you think about my question:

Answer: One likely issue is because the prescription ones are chemically assayed to prove they contain consistent levels of the nutrients you need. Most supplements you find in stores are not assayed and may vary from the amount of nutrients listed on the bottle by 100s of percent.

Question: Are there any Vitamin Shoppe discount codes available for October, 2009? I was looking for a 20% off coupon code for an online order...but cannot find anything anywhere...

Question: Where can I buy protein at discount prices? Or possibly get free shipping and not spend 100 dollars to get it? I know that Vitamin Shoppe offers free shipping on orders over 99 dollars but I don't really want to spend that much. So if anyone has a webstie where I can order protein at a cheaper price, it would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: You can buy protein supplements for cheap from http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=protein&tag=189-20&index=hpc&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325

Question: Where can I get coupons for Tri-Vi-Sol Vitamins A, D & C Supplement Drops for Infants,...? ...1.67-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3) Where can I find a discount online for Tri-Vi-Sol Vitamins A, D & C Supplement Drops for Infants, 1.67-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3)

Answer: After searching various discount websites, no coupons were located for the Tri-Vi-Sol Vitamins A, D & C Supplement Drops for Infants, 1.67-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3). However, Amazon has a great sale price for it at $24.48. The normal price is $26.72.

Question: Can a man take a woman's multivitamins? I am capable of getting discount vitamins at my job but only in women's formula. I package them for the two months in advance in pre-marked pill capsules. There is no indication that they are women's on the pill and I just found out that my husband has been popping them thinking they were general ones for the past two weeks. Is he safe or has he been exposed to female hormones?? What should I do?

Answer: I knew without looking that you/he wasn't in any danger, but you got me thinking so I went to: http://www.centrum.com/productdetail.aspx?BrandProductId=118 to have a look. The product info and contents are available for each of their lines. As the other answerer mentioned, there is a difference in the calcium, but also in the level of Vitamins C, D, E, K, etc. Part of that could be attributed to the RDA based on a 200 pound man vs a 150 pound woman, or just on the difference between her needs and his. Over all though, better to be taking a woman's vitamin than none at all.

Question: I am looking for a Canadian website (if possible) to get vitmins and supplements for a discount price.? If anyone has a website(s) that can help that would be great! My children take vitamins and supplements and it can add up. I would like to start taking certain stuff as well but it is really costly. Thanks for your help.

Answer: I am not sure if this site will help you, I don't know if they would be any cheaper, but I have found that the products are better and one does not need as many. I have also found these in health food stores, but check around. The prices could vary from shop to shop. If you have a 'Nutters Store' close by check them out. They carry these products, and after you purchase $$$ then you will get a considerable discount from the card they give you, after being stamped and filled. Hope this helps.

Question: Cheap One-A-Day Vitamins? Anyone know a website that sells One-A-Day vitamins in bulk for a discount price? "One-A-Day" is a cheap brand? I'm looking for that brand discounted, not any cheap brand.

Answer: I understand that you are looking for "cheap" vitamins; however you shouldn't go "cheap" with your health. Best product on the market is 1st Step. www.highperformancefitness.com. I have been taking this product for 8 years and I have never had so much as a cold. It is a liquid vitamin and mineral supplement. It provides tremendous energy!

Question: vitamins to enlarge breasts? im looking for a vitamin to enlarge breasts, i heard of saw palmetto, fenugreek, maybe folic acid and estrogen. BUT i know estrogen is bad because breast cancer is a estrogenic cancer and there is a huge history of breast cancer in my family so obviously im not going to take that. I was hoping someone can tell me what to get Im so small, Im a gymnast and ballet dancer so im very tiny in the breast region, i want some badly, my friends they have nice cleavage and you can see my sternum, its pretty gross and i have less than a hand full i don't have money for surgery and its hard for me to gain weight my friend said fenugreek and shes going to school as a plastic surgeon so i still have years before i can have discount work done :) but i want them now im young and i don't like being made fun of, always in school i was asked to joint ity bitty titty comity its sad i don't like this, I know i should be comfortable but im not its my choice and if this is not working then i will get breast surgery so can someone help me for now? like im 22 yrs old and i have nothing

Answer: Saw Palmetto is supposed to help but it is regarded as unwise to use it before the age of 18 due to possible side effects such as creating a hormone imbalance. Leaving it until 21 would be better. You can find further information in a web search for "saw palmetto" + "breast enlargement".

Question: Do you take some kind of a vitamin supplement, or not? If so, does it seem to make a difference in the way you feel or if you are tired in the middle of the day? What kind of supplement has been the best kind from your experience ? I take a natural multi vitamin/mineral pack from the company where my son works, he gets a discount. Also natural fruit/veg juice made in a juicer at home. I was just wondering what others do, because the processed and packaged foods aren't all that great healthwise just by itself.

Answer: If you don't feel any benefits from the vitamins you take, one of 3 things could happen to you: 1. you are absolutely in a healthy stage and you should maintain it by the way you take care of your body 2. you are taking the wrong vitamins 3. you are taking the right vitamins but the potency or absorption rate is low that you couldn't feel anything. If you are in doubt what kind of vitamin you should take for your body, take the nutri-physical assessment test. It's a free Internet based analysis tool that recommends customized nutritional supplements to improve an individual's quality of life. https://www.marketamerica.com/lcbeauty/index.cfm?action=services.npHome For general health purpose, everyone should take multivitamin, fish oil, and antioxidants. Isotonix Multivitamin http://www.marketamerica.com/lcbeauty/index.cfm?action=shopping.wpGoShopProducts&prodID=2243 Reasons for taking it: good quality multivitamin and mineral supplement creates a sound micronutrient foundation to accompany the human diet. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Nutrition is the foundation for health and development. Better nutrition means stronger immune systems, less illness and better health. There is no substitute for a healthy, well-balanced diet; however, in today’s fast-paced lifestyles it is important to ensure the body is getting the fuel it needs. OPC-3 (super antioxidants) http://www.marketamerica.com/lcbeauty/index.cfm?action=shopping.wpGoShopProducts&prodID=2217 Reasons for taking it: Contain grape fruit extract, red wine extract, Pycnogenol® (pine bark extract), most powerful bioflavonoids (OPC) currently known to research scientists. Isotonix OPC-3 offers scientifically supported OPCs, found to be the most potent antioxidants for human health. Free radical damage and oxidative stress everyone is subject to. Free radicals develop as byproducts of physiological processes that occur within the body. This damage does not cause noticeable harm at first, yet may add up over the years. This process is largely responsible for the aging process. Free radicals have been linked directly to premature aging, poor circulation, poor heart health and poor immune health. OPCs are the most powerful natural free radical neutralizers and you get the best of all OPCs by taking Isotonix OPC-3. Regular use every day is vital for keeping free radicals in check and a long, healthy life. Laboratory studies have shown that OPCs are more powerful antioxidants than vitamin C and vitamin E. Heart Health™ Essential Omega III Fish Oil http://www.marketamerica.com/lcbeauty/index.cfm?action=shopping.wpGoShopProducts&prodID=2247 Reasons for taking it: Contain essential fatty acid, Omega 3, provides the three grams of EPA† (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA† (docosahexaenoic acid) that studies reveal is the most effective amount to promote overall cardiovascular health. (Heart disease is the No. 1 among US population! ) • Helps maintain normal cholesterol levels • Promotes healthy blood pressure levels • Helps maintain normal blood flow • Helps maintain normal triglyceride levels in the blood • Helps enhance mood • Promotes overall cardiovascular health A deficiency in essential fatty acids can also lead to severe bone loss and osteoporosis. A health diet should be in the range of 1:1 to 1: 4 ratio of omega 3 v.s. omega 6. (Which means 1 part of omega 3 to 1 to 4 part of omega 6. However, for a typical American diet, we tend to consume 1 part of omega 3 to 11 to 30 part of omega 6 (Most omega 6 comes from high fat diet). Omega 6 increase inflammatory property within the body, while omega 3 does the opposite, anti-inflammatory. When shopping for supplements, the key factors to look at are: potency and absorption rate. I would only recommend Isotonix line of supplements when available because: 1st, Isotonix is the only isotonic form of supplements in the market that provides superior absorption rate that pill form cannot beat. In order to form pills, filling, additives needs to be added, these are waste to our body and increase digestion time. 2nd, Pills need to be broken down into stomach first before our body can absorb. Stomach is very high acidic, thus most of the nutrients are destroyed in our stomach before reaching small intestine for absorption. So with pill form, you are looking for absorption rate of about 10 to 40% depending on our body's digestion ability and the ingredients to form the pills. Please keep in mind that human's digestion ability decease by age. With Isotonix line, since it's in isotonic form by adding certain amount of water to one capful of powder (it tastes great too!), vitamins won't stay in stomach and will go to intestine within 5 minutes so you are looking for absorption rate of 90% and higher, higher absorption rate even compare to IV injection. When select Fish Oil in the market, always look at its EPA and DHA values (these are the omega-3 that is readily benefit to the human body. I notice that many fish oils in the market can't even specific its EPA and DHA values) and also guarantee of free hard metal contamination. Not all supplements can be made into isotonic form. Although Heart Health™ Essential Omega III Fish Oil is in gel form, it provides the needed EPA and DHA amount and has been tested twice to ensure free of heavy metals which provides maximum benefits for our health. Never look for price when selecting supplements, look for values and potency and absorption rate because our health is priceless!
