Multi Vitamins without Sulfate
« on: August 12, 2007, 03:05:37 pm »
I was taking a Multi Vitamin that I purchace at a local department store (Kmart) thinking oh its cheap why not. After taking for sometime I noticed a rash starting on my arms, at the time really did not think much about it until recently I started to receive a rash develop on my legs. Long story short I got to reading on my vitamin bottle and Sulfate came up. So I tosed them in the trash after that. Now the fun part going to find the right Multi-Vitamin and making sure it does not have sulfate on the label since im alergic to sulfa.

Sulfate and sulfonamide ("sulfa") are very different things. Sulfate is an inorganic anion without any effects on the body, quite literally very dead in terms of metabolism. Sulfa (better: sulfonamides) on the other hand, are active organic agents, usually found in and used as antibiotics. I seriously doubt that your multivitamins contained sulfonamides. However, an allergic reaction to multivitamin pills is still possible, probably not to sulfate but perhaps to some other fillers.

this may be suitable as a high quality vitamin.

http://nybcsecure.org/product_info.php?products_id=163


Price of 14 bucks + shipping is for a 30 day supply. I take the 6 tabs in two doses, 3 in the morning and 3 before bed.

This does have 200 mcg of selenium as a daily dose.

I purchase 3 bottles or 3 months at a time. I get other supplements from NYBC, so i order every 2 or three months.

Added Protection III (AMNI) Each bottle, 180 tabs, a 30 day supply. This superior, highly bioavailable formula, with cutting-edge mineral delivery forms by Albion Laboratories, supplies over 30 basic vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other nutrients, including beta-carotene, vitamin K and boron. Added Protection III is unique in that the vitamins are coated to separate them from minerals which can oxidize and weaken them (seen sometimes as black spots on tablets). Beta-carotene gives the tablets their pink color. Added Protection III is extremely bioavailable since it can be taken in up to six separate doses per day if one desires, and the tablets are documented to disintegrate within 30 minutes following digestion. In addition, the minerals found in this multivitamin are obtained from Albion Labs, which produces chelated forms that are the most bioavailable (easily absorbed) in the industry, according to some studies. Chelation means that the mineral is embedded in amino acids, in this case, between two glycine molecules. The dosages of the minerals are also designed to provide optimal quantities but not too much, since too much can be toxic. In addition, the chelated (and other forms) are designed to limit side effects experienced by sensitive individuals. If you experience any stomach problems, nausea, diarrhea or constipation once starting this regimen, you may be experiencing a reaction to this formulation and should stop to see if the problem clears up. Recommended dose: 6 tabs/day (2-3x/day—or more often—with food). Store cool, dry, away from light.

Six tablets provide:

B-Complex Vitamins:
Vitamin B1 (thiamine mononitrate) 100 mg
