best supplement malaysia 2020

It is widely accepted by experts that the best source of vitamins and minerals should be from eating fresh fruits and vegetables. However, vitamin and mineral deficiency or rather inadequacy is common in adults and elderly adults due to a variety of reasons (Fakhruddin, 2016).

Research has shown that supplementing with certain vitamins, minerals and other substances can improve immune response and potentially protect against illness.

Multivitamin supplements are available in the form of tablet, capsule or powder formulations which contain multiple vitamins in one (for example, Vitamin C + zinc). Often times, these combinations serve to augment one another or have multiple benefits so that you don’t have to take separate pills. In general, multivitamins serve to supplement your existing diet for micro nutrients you may be missing out on.

However, note that some supplements can interact with prescription or over-the-counter medications you’re taking. Some may not be appropriate for people with certain health conditions. If you are on medications, be sure to talk with your doctor before starting any supplements.

What to look for in a multivitamin supplement?

When selecting a multi, the most important thing is to be sure it lists the right amount of each essential vitamin and mineral. Check your own requirements using the RDA table provided by ConsumerLab.

How do you ensure the quality of the supplement?

The best way to ensure the quality of a product is to look for one that has been certified by a third-party company.

Some supplement manufacturers voluntarily choose to undergo testing to show their commitment to producing high quality products.

One objective indicator of product quality is a Certificate of Analysis (COA), which is awarded by an independent third-party company, such as NSF, USP, Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG), or ConsumerLab.

Most products that have been certified by one of these third-party companies have been tested for one or more of the following (nsf.org):
  • The supplement contains what’s stated on the label and in the amounts listed
  • Products are standardized from batch to batch.
  • The supplement is free of harmful levels of contaminants or other potential drug contaminants.
  • The product doesn’t contain any undeclared ingredients.
Additionally, if you’re an athlete, it can be helpful to look for products that are NSF Certified for Sport. This certification ensures that the product is free of more than 270 substances that are banned or prohibited by most major sports organizations (nsf.org).

Vitamin K can change how warfarin works and can reduce the effectiveness of Warfarin in preventing a dangerous blood clot.

From Jail Cell to Stem Cell Review

FREE Documentary – From Jail Cell to Stem Cell: The Next Con For the Ex-Con Documentary This lengthy (nearly 2 hours) documentary exposes a racketeering scheme and the fact a group selling stem cell treatments were selling a dead product. It was found through testing that stem cells do not survive the sterilization process. In this film they discuss treatments derived from the birthing process (amniotic fluid, tissue, cells, cord blood – retrieved after delivery and packaged as ‘regenerative medicine.’) The natural medicine industry is seduced by ex-cons, adulterated by fake docuseries, and physicians exaggerate their credentials and hurt their patients all in an effort to make money before the FDA can catch up with them. This film is rated PG-13 by the MPA. To see documentary: https://vimeo.com/441451575# (This documentary may not be free forever. Do view it as soon as possible) From Jail Cell to Stem Cell Review: Is the docuseries being fair to suggest that the forum’s ties t

This post is about finding the right dermatologist for your skin problem in Malaysia. If you have a skin related problem, you're likely to start by seeing your family or primary care doctor. But in some cases, you may be referred to a skin specialist (dermatologist).  With tons of low quality self-help e-books out there on skin disease treatment for acne, eczema, psoriasis etc., I am not surprised if you are confused and over-whelmed with treatment information or rather mis-information i.e. recommendations from Facebook friends, neighbors, emails, forum recommendations, search engine results etc. Before you buy a suspicious skin care product with 'too good to be true claims', do a quick check on Google. Use the product name as the search keywords and also add verification words like scam, hoax etc. It's time to seek professional help before things get worse. If you are worried that a visit to a private dermatologist is expensive, try to see one in the governme

If this is your first time visiting a skin specialist in Kuala Lumpur, it can be frustrating to decide who is a good skin specialist in Kuala Lumpur to see. While there isn't always an exact formula to that decision making process, we have short-listed a few skin specialists in KL to get you started. There are many review sites that provide a list of skin specialists and rank them according to their own methods. However, those reviews may not be objective, and that ratings may not be statistically valid. Though the sites are trying to make the ranking objective, the reviews are a listing of opinions and should be judged as such. Therefore, do take those reviews and rankings with a grain of salt. We have shortlisted the specialists and their clinics according to their online presence i.e. Google search results and information available on blogs, public forums and related sites from the internet. Here it is. Popular Dermatologists in Kuala Lumpur (KL) Dr Ting Hoon Chin, Tin
