Vitamin & Mineral Forms & Dosages

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of a decent source of information on,based on clinical trials

if they've been done, about what form of various vitamins and minerals are most

effective and absorbable/etc...and what dosages (or ranges) are needed to be

effective without being too high. Seems to me FDA or the Center for Disease

Control or the alternative medicine branch of the NIH ought to be giving

priority to such data, if it hasn't. But the government (us) would have to pay

for the testing, of course, since no corporation will fund testing on anything

they can't patent.

With Vitamin D, for example, I understand that D-3 is the form that's best-- and

that most Vitamin D researchers themselves take about 1500--

200o mg/ day. There is also a form of iron--not ferrous sulfate--that is

effective or superior. ETC...ETC....ETC...
