CONFUSED OVER HOW MUCH OF WHICH VITAMINS TO TAKE?
A New Report Provides This Important Health Information

Do you want to be sure that you and your family are getting all the vitamins and nutrients needed for good health, but not taking so much that you put yourselves at risk?

Are you confused about whether people with different needs should take take different amounts, and if some shouldn't be taken at all at certain times or by people with certain conditions?

For example, men and women have different needs for Vitamin C, and too much of it can cause health problems.

If you believe that you can figure it all out from the RDA [Recommended Daily Allowances] printed on containers for foods and vitamin pills, think again.  The RDAs in effect today were set way back in 1968 and are out of date!

Today there is far more research, and those official recommendations are in the process of being revised.  This will not be done for at least another year, but what happens to you and your health in the meantime?

Meanwhile, most people will not know what safe upper doses of these vitamins and nutrients are, even as many are buying multivitamins and even "megadose" supplements which may contain three times the recommended doses.

Fortunately, all of this research -- including many new medical studies since 1968 -- have recently been reviewed by a large body of impartial scientists, doctors, and other experts.

Based upon this new research, they have issued new recommendations regarding: Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Arsenic, Boron, Chromium, Copper, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Silicon, Vanadium, and Zinc.

This is information you and your family should have right away, and now you can get it very easily.
