Vitamin Reviews and Other Supplement Information

Here you'll read vitamin reviews and important information pertaining to health. Since I've made this site and have been testing different products, I've become really educated on the importance of health. I've never really took into consideration my eating habits; how important exercising was; and that most vitamins on the market aren't any good.

Another interesting thing to note that I found were the main causes of death. Our diets account for the top for leading causes of death in the US. The top two being heart disease and cancer.

Within these brief vitamin reviews, I'll explain the things I've learned and hopefully you can take something from it to better your life and the lives of your friends and family.

Our main diets should consists of fruits, vegetables, and grains. Certain fishes are good too like wild Alaskan Salmon. But because most of us don't eat this way, we need supplements to replace the nutrients we would otherwise get from the foods we should eat.

Diseases that result from our health are tremendous in the US and throughout the world. Here's an interesting chart of obesity from 1985 to 2008 in the US and some statistics on top 10 causes of death in US. A real eye-opener!

Although those stats have probably scared many of you into wanting to do a complete 180 today, calm down. Being scared into doing right isn't going to help. It's about educating yourself and taking it 1 day and 1 step at a time.


Simple Diet Change:

If you do want to change your diet, here's a really easy way.Start with a good multivitamin and replacement shake such as Ensure. After you've got that down, gradually ween yourself off of the bad foods and into the good ones. Then get yourself into some light exercising, and eventually something moderate and before you know it you'll be in the best shape of your life!

Vitamin Reviews for GNC

Many of the items sold in GNC are generic brand supplements and aren't very effective due to the lack of absorption of the vitamin by the body. This is why you may see a multivitamin say they have 100% of vitamin A, but you aren't getting 100% vitamin A results. That's because the body may only absorb 10 - 20% of the vitamin. At which point you're really getting 10% - 20%.

This absorption matter isn't only limited to vitamins, but all pills, even medications. It is now becoming law that all medications must be made with nanotechnology. This is when the particles of a pill become tiny as atoms so that the body can absorb most of the pill.

Currently there is only one vitamin on the market with nanotechnology and it will be the only vitamin with this technology for about 14 years due to a patent they've obtained.
