Customer Q&A:
Q: How do I know which multiple
vitamin and mineral supplement to take when there are so
many from which to choose?
A: You can narrow down the selection by
first deciding if you want a formula with iron or without iron.
Iron is an important consideration for women of childbearing
age, as they lose iron with each monthly cycle. For women who
have reached menopause or for most men, iron-free formulas
may be a better choice since long term or excess iron supplementation
can cause problems. These individuals should not consume iron
supplements unless their physician has determined that they
are necessary. Both Swanson Premium Brand® Active
One formula and High Potency Soft Multiple formula
are available with and without iron. (SW833, SW834, SW490,SW882).
Another consideration is convenience versus
high potency. Some multiple vitamin and mineral formulas are
delivered in one or two pills per day (like those listed above),
which is a convenience for busy individuals. Other formulas
provide mega potencies of important nutrients and these are
oftentimes delivered in three or more pills per serving. Excellent
supplements to try in this category are (SWU152)
Swanson Ultra® Whole Food Multi and
(SWL001) Lee
Swanson Signature Line Longevital, which are both
iron-free.
