Get the most from your vitamins


Poor bioactivity - carbonate (e.g., calcium carbonate)

oxide (e.g., magnesium oxide)

sulfate and phosphate
Acceptable bioactivity - aminoate, chelate, gluconate


Optimal bioactivity - ascorbate, citrate, fumarate, malate,

picolinate, succinate, tartrate


The easiest way to check B vit. Especially B2 and B6 look for B2 riboflavin 5-phosphate. B6 will read pyridoxine hydrochloride. Remember synthetic vitamins will tax the liver as the body is not able to use them and they need to be flushed out through our already weakened liver. The most expensive vitamin is the one that does not work!

There are many web sites to check out the source of your vitamins.
