It is crucial that the vitamins and minerals you ingest are bioavailable—meaning they can be absorbed and used by the body. Here’s a bit of an industry secret: Just because a percent RDA is listed on a nutrition label does not necessarily mean that you are receiving that percent RDA from the supplement.

A product label that claims to supply 100% of the RDA for a given vitamin or mineral may only provide a small fraction of that amount to the cells that need it if that vitamin or mineral is not in a form that your body can absorb and use. So if your body doesn’t absorb it, where does it go? It passes right through your GI tract and eventually ends up in the toilet. What a waste of your hard-earned money! Your body can only use the nutrients it absorbs.

People often ask, “Why can’t I just take one tablet per day?” We wish you could, but this just comes down to a matter of space. When a supplement includes high-potency vitamins and minerals in combination with whole foods ingredients, they take up a lot of space. For this reason, many high-potency vitamin and mineral supplements are offered in tablet form. Tablet technology allows for the compression of ingredients into smaller, more concentrated pills; this means you only need to take three Vicatalyst tablets per day to receive the same dose that would be provided by six to eight capsules.

If you are currently taking a vitamin in tablet form, be sure it is from a company that guarantees the tablets will break down for full absorption. Unfortunately, some manufacturers produce tablets that don’t dissolve well, resulting in poor nutrient absorption.

B-vitamins receive a lot of attention, and have long been shown to play a major role in cardiovascular, neural, gastrointestinal, adrenal, sex hormone, and pulmonary health. More recently, research indicates that the form of folate used in most supplements may not actually be helping the people taking them.i

Studies indicate that as much as 40-50% of the population may have a gene mutation, called MTHFR, which decreases their ability to convert folic acid into the active form of folate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate).ii,iii,iv,v For those with this gene mutation, taking folic acid may not supply the body with the amount of active folate required to support brain and cardiovascular health.vi Vicatalyst contains the active form of folate, B6, and B12, so your body doesn’t have to convert them before they can be used.

Research indicates that iodine in any form can create cascading problems for the immune system in those with autoimmune thyroid disorder (called Hashimoto’s disease) or the genetic disposition for autoimmune thyroid disorder. For these with autoimmune concerns, the ingestion of any concentrated form of iodine can trigger destruction of thyroid gland tissue, resulting in additional inflammation.vii,viii,ix For this reason, Vicatalyst does not contain kelp or any other concentrated form of iodine.

Is it possible for a multivitamin to cause more harm than good? This varies from person to person, but the answer could sometimes be yes. Some manufacturers include very high levels of specific vitamins and minerals in their products, and these jumbo-dose supplements raise the concern of possible toxicity. While these products may be okay to use with certain populations under the active guidance of a physician, extremely high doses of vitamins or minerals could be harmful for those who don’t need them, who take them for prolonged periods of time, or who are taking multiple pharmaceuticals or supplements.x Vicatalyst has been carefully designed with long-term safety, nutrient balance, and proper nutrient absorption mind.
