Now you only need about 3500 IU's More Every Day! by: Kerri Knox, RN- The Immune Queen!
I'm not sure if your post was meaning to extol its virtues, but 800 IU is a maintenance dose for a NEWBORN INFANT and not a 50+ woman!
According to the experts that I've outlined on the Normal Vitamin D Level page, most people need between 3800 to 5000 IU's per day for a MAINTENANCE DOSE and that's not if you are deficient- which most people are.
Your One-a-day also contains Calcium in Carbonate Form, which is the least absorbable form- but the cheapest.
The magnesium is only 50 mg- while most people need well upwards of 200 mg per day- and is in the form of Magnesium Oxide, which is the LEAST absorbable magnesium.
The Vitamin C dosage is pitiful. Most alternative health experts believe that you should get at least 1000 mg of vitamin c per day to combat oxidative damage.
It's Vitamin E Content is a mere 33 IU's, while most nutrition experts believe we should all be taking about 400 IU's per day- and the One a day form of Vitamin E is in the form of Alpha Tocopherol, while the preferred form is to get mixed tocopherols- and the IDEAL form is Tocotrienols.
It's vitamin K is in the form of K-1 which is synthetic and has a short half-life. Vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 has a MUCH longer half life and is a natural- as opposed to a synthetic source of Vitamin K.
2) Longevity Plus's Beyond Any Multiple- it has very little vitamin D because you are intended to use it along with their Vitamin D Supplements for a complete multi.
