The Final Best Antioxidant Blog

So, obviously I can’t use a whole blog just to congratulate myself on completing 100 blogs (Though it’s still a mighty fine achievement if you ask me). Thus, I’ve decided to use this blog to talk a little bit more about health.

This week’s topics are the best multivitamin and omega 3 capsules.

There are an infinite number of multivitamins on the market today, which is odd because there really aren’t that many nutrients going into all these vitamins (less than 100 different nutrients make up 99% of the vitamin market). Therefore the best multivitamin is usually judged by the process by which it is made, and the quantity of the selected nutrients included. If the multivitamin has upwards of 50 nutrients on its ingredients list, chances are there isn’t much quantity of any particular ingredient. The best multivitamins usually come in several daiy doses just because the sheer mass of so many supplements can take up many pills (i.e. if you’re only swallowing one pill per day, you’re probably not getting enough).

Now let’s talk about omega 3 capsules. These usually aren’t included in multivitamin supplements because they almost always come as oils (fish oils or flax seed oil). The omega 3 fish oils don’t mix readily with vitamin powders, heat processed pills, or even liquid forms of many nutrients. But, other than the essentials, this is probably one of the best supplements to take.
