Dealing with pure vitamins that are active in Micrograms

Arrowwind09

\r\n \r\n I\'ve only used "pure" vitamins a couple of times and found them to be cumbersome and not worth the trouble.
\n
\nFrom your other post I see that the dosages are not very high. For instance I take 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day as opposed to 750IU you take twice a day, and 5,000 is generally what is now recommended for an adult. From the experience Ive had 1,500 iu would not have benefited me very much at all. I cured psoriasis with high dosages of D3. When I took 2,000 IU a day it did not raise my blood level but a few points.
\n
\nLots of the vitamins are terrible tasting so thats why they are pressed into pills or put into capsules. Also, regarding B vitamin, it is best to take them in a complex as they support one another.
\n
\nIn general the dosages you are taking are low.
\n
\nI\'ve been curious about the Tangy Tangerine stuff. What else is in it besides vitamins? are there any greens? Alex Jones says its powerful stuff but there has to be more in it than what you mention to make it so.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Yea, it\'s mostly the price getting bulk for cheaper and having a lot.

\r\n \r\n This product (beyond tangy tangerine) is very good because it contains all 90 essential nutrients that the body needs, in particular, the 60 minerals necessary to prevent disease.
\n
\nVitamins will not function without the mineral co-factors.
\n
\nThe only downfall I can see in this product is that it contains fructose, although it doesn\'t state how much..
\n
\nAs far as vitamin D is concerned, keep in mind it is fat- soluble, thus, is not necessary to take daily. For example, instead of taking 4000 or 5000 I.U. per day, you could take the equivalent of 1 mg per month. That would be equivalent to about 2500 I.U. per day. (1mg = 75000I.U.) That way it is possible to use the pure D3.
\n
\nThe upper safe limit is 20,000 I.U. per day or 600,000 I.U. per month. (There would be no chance of overdose)\r\n

\r\n \r\n Vit D is extremely potent and you need very small amounts. Sincer it is fat soluble, put the whole thing in a small bottle of olive oila nd shake for a couple minutes. That was you will know how many IU per oz or ml Just a word of caution, extremely high doses of vit d are used as rat poison\r\n

\r\n \r\n But in India they use very high dosages of vitamin D3, 600,000 iu injections... at least yearly. Their studies done on nursing home patients show better health and a decrease in falls and fractures, as vitamin D3 increases pelvic muscle strength.
\n
\nTrace minerals are fairly cheap, all 60 or 70 of them. You can get them at www.reachforlife.com the Utah shale mines provide some of the best plant derived minerals and thats where these come from. Made from ancient plant beds.
\n
\nall in all it looks like a good product but Im sure you can find similar for less cost.\r\n

I tried looking at the ingredients of the mineral products that Reach For Life sells, but they\'re not listed. Apparently too many to fit, according to one of their customer service reps. She\'s going to mail the list to me along with a catalog. Is that ingredient list available online somewhere else? I\'m trying to compare those to the Youngevity product(s).\r\n

\r\n \r\n Just learning, but would something like this Tangy Tangerine product really be best when most of the nutrients are fat soluble, but then it also contains the B and C vitamins which are all water soluble and are much better consumed many times throughout the day??
\n
\nJust askin.
\n
\nThanks!\r\n

Ok so over the past few months I've really gotten into buying my vitamins pure because I used to buy Beyond Tangy Tangerine from Youngevity (I'm sure youve heard of it) It's a really high quality high reputation Vitamin/Nutrient/Amino acid complex.

The problem is I want to stock up and it's a little expensive and buying bulk pure vitamins is a lot cheaper. So I got myself a milligram scale and bought quite a few vitamins and am pretty much matching the vitamins I take with the doses that are in the Tangy Tangarine.

not so bad, Vitamin C 1000mgs a serving, riboflavin 30mgs, Vitamin A 3mgs(alittle low but do-able)

I only bought the vitamins that were active in doses measurable doses, Vitamin A being the most potent one other than Vitamin D-3 which i bought by accident before checking.

Vitamin D-3.. 750 IU a serving, equivalent to roughly 0.01Milligrams..!!! I actually bought this Vitamin in bulk too, i'm affriad to touch it, I might breathe in the mist and overdose lol, so I ended up wasting money and buying pre-capsuled ones.

But how are you supposed to use this pure? is there anyway? or is it useless to have it pure?

I just wrapped it up and put it away... far away for now, scared of it.

Sorry if this is a stupid question I'm not fluent in Vitamins whatsoever first time stepping into a Vitamin forum.

Thanks everyone for any help!
