Best Vitamin Supplements Comparison No. 3
Herbal Extract and Phytonutrient Content
The Best Vitamin Supplements contain a VERY WIDE RANGE of HIGH POTENCY PHYTONUTRIENTS AND HERBAL EXTRACTS!
The herbal extracts and phytonutrients comparison table below compares what my research confirms are the best vitamin supplements in the market. I worked for a supplement manufacturer so I understand the science behind nutritional health supplements and what to look for when reviewing competing brands.
The table is quite long but don’t be put off by that.
It’s simply showing you the potencies and dose amounts of these very important KEY INGREDIENTS. And the reason this table is so long is because one of the supplements being compared has an amazingly LARGE number of phytonutrients and herbal extracts in it.
Differences in the total number, potencies and dosage amounts of powerful herbals and phytonutrients are absolute key variables to consider when evaluating nutritional supplements. This reveals the true level of effectiveness and value for money that each supplement offers.
These best vitamin supplements vary SIGNIFICANTLY in their herbal and phytonutrient content – but keep in mind that each of these supplements cost around the same amount!
Herbal extracts and phytonutrients have potent healing, anti-aging, anti-cancer and antioxidant properties and are the ingredients you want to see making up a significant proportion of your vitamin supplement.
So what does this table reveal?For those who don’t want to study the details this table I’ll give you the bottom line.
It shows that the supplement ‘Total Balance’ absolutely destroys the competition for the total number, potencies and dose amounts of standardized herbal extracts and phytonutrients it contains.
The other 3 contenders don’t even come close.
