Vitamin Chart - Health Benefits and Recommended Amounts (what experts aren't saying)

Here's something to consider most experts aren't saying.

Nutritional studies with animals have shown that the amounts of some nutrients sufficient to provide health and the prevention of a deficiency disease for short periods of time may be totally inadequate to maintain health over the animals entire life. Some doctors are saying several thousand mgs of Vitamin C could prevent heart disease instead of the measly 60mg recommended. Also note these amounts don't reflect amounts unhealthy people should take.

The following contains the benefits and USRDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) amounts, plus the most common forms used in nutritional supplements. Note: These RDAs were developed for healthy people under normal healthy circumstances (i.e., no presence of illness or disease, no genetic problems, no exposure to harmful toxins, etc.) to prevent deficiency diseases.

These USRDA's were derived, the studies that were used to determine the level of a nutrient sufficient to prevent a nutritional deficiency over a short period of time- typically conducted for six to nine months.
