Introduction

Multivitamins have long been touted as a one-size-fits-all solution to our daily nutritional needs. They promise to fill in the gaps in our diets and improve our overall health. However, not all multivitamins are created equal, and some can actually be harmful to our bodies. In this blog post, we'll explore the reasons why many multivitamins sold in stores may not be good for most people, from the inorganic binding of minerals and vitamins to the use of preservatives and fillers. We will also discuss how Bespoke Biotics, made in the UK, offers a superior alternative to these inferior multivitamins.

Inorganic Binding of Minerals and Vitamins ⚠️

One of the most significant issues with many commercially available multivitamins is the inorganic binding of minerals and vitamins. These inorganic compounds are crude and can cause absorption conflicts within the body, as some elements compete with others for uptake. For instance, calcium and iron are two elements commonly found in multivitamins that should not be taken together, as they can interfere with each other's absorption. This means that instead of receiving the full benefits of these nutrients, you may actually be getting very little.

Remember, when eating something like spinach, it has both calcium and iron, but these are not just salts dug from the ground (inorganic) but rather delivered in plant cell bound in more absorbable organic frameworks, so you don't get the same conflicts. In fact, one cup of spinach contains 100 mg of calcium, 78 mg of magnesium, and 3 mg of iron, all in a more bioavailable form.

Insufficient Amounts of Essential Nutrients 📊

Many multivitamins fail to provide the optimal amounts of essential nutrients our bodies need. In most cases, it's simply impossible to fit therapeutic levels of supplements in one tablet. This can also be due to cost-cutting measures by manufacturers or simply a lack of understanding of the proper ratios of vitamins and minerals. As a result, people who rely on these products for their daily nutrient intake may still be falling short of meeting their nutritional requirements.

 

The Use of Preservatives and Fillers 🧪

To mass-produce multivitamins at a low cost, many manufacturers use various preservatives and fillers in their products. These additives can have negative effects on the body and may even counteract the benefits of the vitamins and minerals present. Moreover, some people may have allergic reactions to certain preservatives, leading to discomfort or even severe health issues. In contrast, Bespoke Biotics takes pride in using high-quality ingredients without unnecessary fillers or preservatives, ensuring a safer and more effective product for consumers.

 

 

 

 

Note: When evaluating the nutrient quantities in multivitamins, it's crucial to distinguish between the RDA (recommended daily allowance) and therapeutic dosages used for specific health concerns. RDAs are often criticized for being outdated and potentially insufficient, as they are typically quite low and based on old data. A clear example of this difference is evident when we consider riboflavin (vitamin B2). The RDA for riboflavin for adults is only about 1.1 - 1.3 mg. However, for certain health conditions such as migraines, a much higher dosage is recommended. In fact, our MigraSoothe product contains 400 mg of riboflavin, as suggested by the NHS for migraine relief, which is about 300 times more than what even the best multivitamin can provide.

 

Inferior Quality Control and Manufacturing Standards 🏭

The quality of multivitamins can vary greatly depending on where they are produced. Many cheap products are manufactured in countries with less stringent quality control standards, leading to potentially harmful contaminants finding their way into the final product. Even brands that claim to be produced in countries with high standards may only finish their products there while manufacturing them elsewhere, resulting in inferior quality. Bespoke Biotics supplements, however, are manufactured in the UK to GMP standards, ensuring top-notch quality and safety for consumers.

Indigestion ⚠️

Another potential drawback of multivitamins is that they can cause indigestion or gastrointestinal discomfort for some individuals. This is often due to the presence of minerals that are not easily absorbed, leading to digestive upset.

Lack of Amino Acids 🤢

Moreover, it's important to note that most multivitamins do not contain amino acids, which play a critical role in various bodily functions and offer numerous health benefits. Bespoke Biotics, on the other hand, prioritizes bioavailability and absorption, reducing the likelihood of gastrointestinal issues while providing a more comprehensive range of nutrients.
