Ten key features to look for in a daily multivitamin:

1. Vitamin C. Is it buffered or esterified C? Does your formula contain bioflavonoids, which work synergistically with vitamin C?
2. Vitamin E. Is the vitamin E in your multivitamin natural or synthetic? Does it contain all of the tocopherol divisions of vitamin E?
3. Antioxidants. Does your multivitamin contain few or many forms of antioxidant nutrients? The consumption of as many types of antioxidant-containing foods and different forms of antioxidant nutritional supplements will best protect your cells and body from the oxidants produced daily by the body and from the overabundance of oxidizing chemicals in our environments. For superior antioxidant protection, the more different kinds and forms the better.
4. Does your multivitamin contain expensive ingredients, in significant amounts, such as Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic acid, L-Glutathione, N-Acetyl Cysteine, Lutein, Zeoxanthin, Lycopene, and Panax Ginseng? Many manufacturers do not add these nutrients because of their cost, or put in amounts so small that they are ineffective. We call this, “romancing the consumer”.
5. Does your multivitamin contain the full complement of B Vitamins, in proper ratios? B Vitamins should be properly balanced, with no more than 10 mg of riboflavin (B2) per day. B Vitamins play a very important role in mood, cardiovascular health, and immune health. B vitamins protect your body from stress. They are important for maintaining healthy hair, skin and teeth. Because B Vitamins are water soluble, they are quickly excreted from the body, making daily supplementation very important.
6. Does your multivitamin contain the important trace (micro) and major (macro) minerals, and electrolytes? Trace (micro) and major (macro) minerals play a crucial role in maintaining your health. It has been well established that certain mineral deficiencies can be linked to numerous health conditions. Sufficiency in these important minerals and electrolytes is crucial for maintaining your health.
7. Does your multivitamin contain iron or phosphorus? Calcium and iron should never be taken in combination. Numerous multivitamins made for women contain iron, and most women don’t need it. In most cases, supplemental iron is not required by men or women. Iron taken in excess can cause numerous health problems, so unless you KNOW that you need iron, don't take it. Phosphorus competes with calcium for absorption, and can cause kidney damage, calcium deficiency, and problems with bone growth.
8. Does your multivitamin contain food enzymes? Food enzymes help you to "predigest" foods; that is, start breaking down foods before your body’s enzymes begin to do so. Digestive enzymes assist the body with absorption and digestion of foods and supplements.
9. Does your multivitamin contain pre and pro-biotics? Probiotics are live microorganisms (good bacteria) that reside in a healthy gastrointestinal tract to provide a beneficial health effect for your body. Prebiotics are foods or nutrients that are used by probiotics that increase the chances of probiotics growing and thriving in the intestinal tract. Common probiotics include L. Acidophilus and L-Sporogenes, and a commonly used prebiotic is called Fructooligosaccharides, or FOS.
10. Does your multivitamin contain Lipotrophic nutrients, which promote the digestion and utilization of fat, fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins?
