Frank Said:

Are there differences in dietary antioxidants vs. antioxidants found in dietary supplements?

We Answered:

whenever possible, your body finds it easier to recognize nutrients like antioxidants and others when they are in food.

the idea of a supplement is for someone who's need for nurtient-x exceeds his ability to safely or consistently eat the food that contains it.

but food is always natural.. vitamins..once in a great while are natural.

Why is urine more yellowish when taking antioxidant supplements?

We Answered:

most vitamins are water soluable, and any extra your body cant use goes into urine and that makes it very yellow, so you notice your vits are not really doing you much good. If a doctor didnt tell you to take vits for a specific reason, you are just flushing money down the toilet litteraly

Phyto-vite supplement - any feedback from those who have taken it for a month or more?

We Answered:

Since nobody has answered yet, I'll toss in my 2 cents.
I haven't tried it myself, but we have a very similar complex that is rather popular... it's basically a multivitamin with a variety of added herbs. Most of the herbs are basic antioxidants or cardiovascular health items plus a small amount of Ginkgo, Cayenne, and a few other misc herbs.

In general, most people should get a little energy (assuming they aren't already taking a multi) because of the B vitamins and Chromium, plus there's a few things that will help the circulation (which can give more energy and an easier feeling while you're up and about). After a month's time, you should get used to the extra energy and should feel generally healthier (assuming a decent diet and overall lifestyle).

However, after seeing the price (over $70 for a month's supply??), I'd suggest to get any of dozens of other formulations that are similar for around 20% of the price if not less... it's just nuts to pay that much for such a simple complex.

Monica Said:

I need to market a New Dietary Supplement. what sales and marketing scheme can i employ?

We Answered:

Go to Nuskin and work with them.

Their products are usually aimed at increasing anti oxidant levels. They might be interested.

Since they are a network marketing company, you just need to be the supplier and they will do the sales and marketing for you.

However, they have their own research facilities and factories I think and I am not sure if they are willing to work with third parties. Well, never try never know.

If you can send me more info about your supplements, I can help you ask around if anyone is interested to retail your products.
