dietary-supplement industry. But
there are some serious drawbacks to
what is available at this time.
Currently, for example, when a pri-
vate laboratory tests a selection of
products purchased at random, they
report on which products passed
their test, but they refuse to divulge
which products did not pass. This
detracts from the credibility of the
entire program. And those compa-
nies whose products passed the test
cannot use that information unless
they pay a fee to the testing compa-
ny. This further undermines the
credibility of the program.
If the testing company is unwilling
to withstand the challenges sure to
come about from those whose prod-
ucts it claims failed testing, how can
we be fully confident in the validity
of the results that will not be chal-
lenged? Isn’t it more important for
us to know which products did not
pass?
This may be a step in the right
direction, but further strides need to
be made.
The National Nutritional Foods
Association (now, the NPA), a lead-
ing health food trade organization,
has set up a program that awards a
Good Manufacturing Practice
(GMP) certification to those compa-
nies that pass its inspection pro-
gram. This is a good thing, and we
know of a number of companies that
upgraded their procedures and facil-
ities to ensure they passed the pro-
gram. But there is a fee required for
a company to participate. This
imposes a burden on the smaller
companies. And those companies
who have their products made for
them by several outside suppliers
face the need to have multiple facil-
ities inspected and certified.
Also, another source of possible
confusion is that the seal, or certifi-
cation, is not product specific. In
other words, it does not mean that a
given product has been tested or is
certified to be up to potency. The
seal merely means that the company
follows good manufacturing prac-
tice guidelines.
Step Four: Putting It All
Together
Now that you have decided which
type of supplement is right for you,
which supplements accommodate
your specific and unique health
needs, and which brands or sources
you are comfortable with, it is time
to put all of this together and set up
a regimen tailored to your require-
ments.
Multivitamin Supplements
The first thing to do is decide on
the product or products that consti-
tute the nucleus, or foundation, of
your program. This should be a
broad-spectrum, balanced multivita-
min-multimineral supplement, con-
taining all of the essential vitamins,
trace minerals, and perhaps calcium
and magnesium. A B-complex for-
mula would not fit this description.
There are four basic types of mul-
tivitamin supplements. They differ
mainly in two areas: how many
times a day will they be taken, and
whether or not they contain ade-
quate levels of calcium and magne-
sium.
The four types are as follows:
• One-per-day multivitamins
• Two-per-day multivitamins
• Complete, or four-to-six-per-day
multivitamins
• Specialty multivitamins
