Hello Richard,
Thank you for your insightful comments. You are right, not many companies use food sources as the basis for their supplements. Most minerals are best absorbed through food sources, but a few, such as Calcium can be equally bioavailable in their original form if they are formulated correctly. Most companies simply do not have the means to be sure that their supplements are truly bioavailable and I don’t know of any other companies that do the testing to insure bioavailability. I would be interested in knowing any companies that you are familiar with who do that.

I have written other posts about how supplements need to be formulated and may possibly do more research and post more on this topic as well.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

Sandy

I am aware of food-sourced vitamins and have heard that not many vitamin supplements are made that way. Take it a step further, I know one company that claims to have food-sourced minerals as part of a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement. (They source hydroponically grown leaves from plants fed with mineral rich materials. The theory being pretty much the same as with vitamins and the bioavailability of the supplement’s ingredients.) Are you familiar with this? Is this done by many other companies that you know of?

Sandy,
You have give such great info here. I’m glad you’re taking it step by step. It’s so vital that people understand fully some of these points when choosing their vitamins. My sister buys from a health store, yet still has issues. So I have talked to her about this, yet she turns a deaf ear cause she thinks she is doing ok. Oh well, I try. She knows where to come when the time comes.

Thanks again for sharing this,
Val
