Unlike Shancun, Nature's Treasure vitamin products are all imported from the United States, but are not registered in China as medicines or health foods. Nature's Treasure Multivitamin is characterized by a very high content and should be classified as a medicinal vitamin based on this. According to the user group, Nature's Treasure multivitamin can be divided into four types: men's type, women's type, pregnant woman's type, and middle-aged and elderly type, which can comprehensively supplement vitamins. COMPARED TO OTC TABLETS, NATURE'S TREASURE ULTRA MAN NOT ONLY HAS THE SAME AMOUNT OF VITAMIN A, BUT ALSO CONTAINS 2000 IU OF VITAMIN D PER CAPSULE, ESPECIALLY B VITAMINS, WHICH CAN REACH DOZENS OF TIMES THE RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE.
B vitamins are water-soluble vitamins, except for the more special B6, most of them are less toxic, and the body can quickly excrete excess vitamins from the body. In the United States, dietary supplement formulations are the responsibility of manufacturers and do not require approval, so some vitamin products are more aggressive in their formulation. "Vitamin therapy" is one of the more popular alternative therapies in the United States, and some people believe that high-dose vitamins are good for their health, and Nature's Treasure high-dose vitamin products can meet these consumer needs.
Among the B vitamins, B6, synthetic folic acid, niacin are more special, excessive intake may damage human health, do not exceed the maximum tolerable intake without medical advice, that is, B6 does not exceed 60mg/day, synthetic folic acid does not exceed 1000μg/day, the recommended dosage of nature's treasure multivitamin is within this range, and normal people have no problem using it. B vitamins have a very important function, such as eating only refined grains may lack B1 to cause beriberi, lack of B2 is easy to cause angular cheilitis, folic acid is actually vitamin B9, it is recommended that pregnant women supplement 400-800μg of folic acid every day in the first 3 months of pregnancy.
Another feature of Nature's Treasure is that multivitamins are also added with a variety of amino acids and herbal extracts, such as lycopene, elderberry, bilberry extract, etc. These herbal extracts may have some benefits for the body, but there is no high-quality scientific evidence and their effectiveness is unclear, so it is recommended only as a vitamin supplement.
Nature's Treasure Multivitamins are very high in content and are not suitable for children, so in order to prevent children from taking them by mistake, they are designed with an anti-unscrewing cap, which is more difficult for children to unscrew. When the general population is using Nature's Treasure Multivitamin, if they are concerned about excessive vitamin intake, they can take it every other day. It should be noted that vitamin supplements are best taken regularly, not concentrated for a period of time and not for a long time. After the body adapts to the high dose of vitamin intake, a sudden change in the intake can easily cause a short-term vitamin deficiency.
