Manufacturer is Nature’s Plus. Similarly good is Solgar’s Earth
Source. However, read the labels carefully. Only some of the
vitamins are food-source. There is no product out there with 100%
natural vitamins.

A bit costly, but otherwise good looking alternative is the Source Naturals
Life Force Metabolic Multivitamin. It has several times RDA of vitamins and
minerals that are concidered to be unharmful to humans and some additional
goodies like Ginseng, Ginkgo, DMAE etc. NO Iron, yest, lactose, pollen, salt,
artificial flavouring. It also appears to dissolve quite well (at least in
a glass of hand warm water).

Here we go again. Shakley followers will now come on and aver that theirs are
indeed 100% from natural sources, which is probably true. Also, look closely
at those labels–they can’t call them food source any more, because there is
hardly anything about yeast that is like food, and these companies were sued
to stop them from saying there was.
Personally, I think something like Country Life’s Essential Life is about
optimal.

OK, you asked for it…let’s talk about what some criteria might be to
judge. My first suggestion would be scientifically conducted clinical
trials with human volunteers. My second would be published results. My
third would be acceptance of those published studies by respected refereed
journals. Other considerations might include history of effectiveness,
reports of adverse or no effects. The final suggestion would be the
philosophy behind the product. I would insist on a company which produces
only those products for which a clearly proven need exists and which has
demonstrated that the product actually fills the need.
Shaklee’s Vita Lea meets all the criteria. It can truthfully claim to be
the Multiple with the longest research and evelopment history in the world
(clinical studies began in 1915). What difference does it make what’s on a
product’s label? The final judgement of its value must be made on what
gets into the bloodstream. Further, it finally depends on what can be
absorbed and used by the cell. Hence the critical value of clinical
studies, with continuing development of formulation and delivery systems to
optimize the nutritive benefits.
100% "Natural"?…let’s not quibble over catchy phrases. Shaklee simply
will not use man-made raw materials in their supplements. Why not? Because
that would violate the fundamental philosphy on which their founder
established the company. He believed living "in harmony with nature"
improved the quality of our health. He never claimed to know more than the
body’s own metabolic processes did. He trusted that the world’s (and our)
Creator provided what we need for life and health. He dedicated his life to
perfecting processes which took those raw materials and put them in a
convenient form to use without destroying them by any form of addition,
subtraction, extraction, or raising them above room temperature in the
dehydration process.
You won’t see high %’s of the RDA’s for specific nutients on Shaklee
labels. Is more better? Only in balance. Unless we are in a supervised
theraputic situation, the Shaklee philosophy believes the body thrives on
natural balance in nutrition. And they have the clinical studies to prove
it.
Anyone else want to suggest their own criteria for "the Best Multi"?

I have had chronic fatigue syndrome for over two years. I started taking CoQ10
aobut 18 months ago and what a difference that made! I have recently started
taking multi-vitamin and mineral supplements from a company called Melaleuca.
They have a patented formula that involves fructose compounding. Apparently
this enables the body to more fully utilize the vitamins and minerals before
they leave the system. I was skeptical, but there was (still is, too) a 100%
money-back guarantee. Anyway, a day after Istarted taking them my muscle aches
had gone away and after a week my energy levels were increased dramatically. A
month’s supply is less than $30 shipped. Just so you know Melaleuca is a MLM
company but you needn’t join to buy their products. If you do join you get
them considerably cheaper, though. I’d be happy to order anyone a one-month’s
supply so you can see for yourself.
