You asked for them and here they are! An elite group of the market's best and most well known nutritional vitamin supplements PEELED OPEN, COMPARED and REVIEWED in all their naked glory!
These are PROFESSIONAL GRADE, SCIENCE BASED multi ingredient supplements with state of the art formulas put together by leading bio-scientists and chemists.
But, as you'll learn in a moment, some in this special group DON'T actually live up to their marketing claims of being super supplements despite the fact that they are still amongst the best products available.
There's literally thousands of nutritional supplements for sale but ......
......there's only a HANDFUL OF GREAT ONES out there - the type which can truly be called 'ELITE'. These are the ones that stand in a class of their own!
You may have already seen on my site that I'm a high performance tennis coach working with world class players and high potential juniors. I have also held an executive position in the nutritional health supplement industry!
Evaluating and hunting down the absolute best brands became somewhat of a passion for me and I've been reviewing elite brands ever since.
I know the crafty shortcuts that manufacturers take and the things they hide from you (which they do to cover up product weaknesses that you need and deserve to know about before making any purchasing decisions).
I'll help you by 'cutting to the chase' and revealing exactly which supplements lead the market in their abilities to significantly improve your health and wellness, using specialized (and in some cases, rare) specialty ingredients that most critically address and support the complex task of slowing and normalizing your aging process.
This is in addition to protecting you against premature degenerative disease by supporting your body's natural functions in addressing the ROOT CAUSES(S) of disease, including any degenerative disease you may already have!
The best vitamin supplements are formulated with superior science from bio-scientists /chemists and manufacturing know-how by PROFESSIONAL MANUFACTURERS capable of producing sophisticated effective supplements
I'm sure a lot of you will be interested to know which supplement gets my vote! A fantastic product I began using way back in 2000.
If you follow my research and supplement comparisons you'll clearly see that the supplement I use is a ONE OF A KIND FORMULA - COMPLETELY UNMATCHED IN THE SUPPLEMENT MARKETPLACE - a claim I can make through my experience in reviewing supplements along with the access I have to highly knowledgeable experts in the industry.
I decided to make all the supplement comparisons against this particular supplement, to use it as a benchmark and to make it easier for you to see (the sometimes subtle differences) of what an EFFECTIVE Premium Grade formula must contain!
The benchmark becomes clear!
BEWARE of global brands with huge financial and marketing resources which have been used over many years to craft an illusionary 'Premium Brand' persona and yet the reality is they fill up their formulas with unnecessary dose amounts of the cheapest ingredients like calcium, magnesium and vitamin C (all under the clever guise of "optimal amounts" - which simply do not apply to the 'average' healthy supplement user).
Unfortunately, some supplements, even in this small elite group represented in my comparisons are guilty of this. Take some time to look more thoroughly through the comparisons and reviews and you'll start to see for yourself!
How I evaluate and compare.
I only take interest in fully comprehensive, science-based, PREMIUM GRADE health and vitamin supplements formulated by bio-scientists/chemists which sit in a separate (ELITE) class from the rest of the market.
Due to several key reasons, particularly ineffective company structures, greedy shareholders and expense heavy marketing programs, most companies have to manufacture their supplements to a pre-determined price. They cannot afford to include many of the more important and efficacious ingredients and the dose amounts and potencies of many ingredients which they do include are considerably lower than 'optimal levels'.
This is why there are not many health supplements out there at this elite level I am referring to and this is why my comparison list below is short. I don't review 'reasonably good' or 'middle of the road' products. Only the best of the best.
I'll add to this list whenever I feel a new or upgraded supplement should be included. But to be completely honest with you that does not happen often.
An important point I'd like to get across to my readers is that I am not attempting to include every so-called 'Premium Level' multi nutrient health supplement in the market.
I've put together these supplement comparisons to educate and assist you in knowing how to estimate (to a degree) the true worth of a supplement both from an efficacy point of view as well as a value for money perspective. It doesn't take a huge list of comparisons to show how you can bring out the truth for any given health supplement.
As I mentioned earlier, I have evaluated several of the industry's most prominent and well known health supplements, which are marketed as elite level products and industry leaders and I have compared them against the supplement which my research has shown to be the 'GOLD STANDARD'.
That supplement comes out of New Zealand and is called 'Total Balance'. There are 7 different versions in the Total Balance range.
Each comparison then exposes the deficiencies of each supplement in comparison with the gold standard supplement - 'Total Balance'.
Now, while comparing supplements is far from an exact science, I have set up each comparison in a way to make sure we are comparing apples with apples so to speak, as much as possible, considering the sometimes huge differences in supplement formulas.
In recent times some companies have begun the marketing practice of adding in Fish Oil capsules and so on into their formulas, thus creating little am and pm 'packs' to basically force you to buy more from them (and spend more!). This muddies the 'comparisons waters' even more as I then need to add additional products (such as Fish Oil) into a comparison for companies not employing this tactic. I really detest this marketing ploy.
I'm sure you would agree that we should be free to purchase what we want, when we want and never have anything essentially forced onto us in a somewhat underhanded way which satisfies profit hungry shareholders and company executives.
Where necessary, I have included critical notes in my comparisons, under each 'nutrient category', to help explain what the differences mean and also to highlight important things you should know about what certain numbers mean such as potencies, dose amounts etc . It's not always a case of more is better as you will learn - especially where vitamin and mineral ingredients are concerned.
I'd like to make it very clear that 'Total Balance' is in fact the supplement I have used since the year 2000. My mother, father (both now deceased) and sister also began using it around the same time. People have therefore accused me from time to time of being biased towards 'Total Balance'. My response is always that the science speaks for itself. The comparisons are clearly set out and I've merely laid out the facts.
In certain situations there are 'grey areas' due to different, credible, studies having come up with opposing results or recommendations however there are not many of these thankfully. (Vitamin C is a good case in point).
I'm always happy to address the queries of anyone who would challenge my evaluations and recommendations concerning Total Balance (and this is despite the fact that my 'Your Questions' page is currently closed. Please send me your questions - they will still come through).
Naturally, it makes sense that I would use my knowledge and work experience in the industry to make sure I am using the best health supplement available and of course the same for my family. At this time that is Total Balance (I use the Men's Premium version formula).
If a new multi nutrient health supplement were to come along that proves better than 'Total Balance', both in terms of efficacy and value for money, I will swap to it as the foundation of my supplement regime in a heartbeat - absolutely no doubt about it.
