How It Works:
Research shows that most Americans don't get the recommended daily allowances of vitamins and minerals from their diets. And, busy lifestyles take a toll on nutrient stores of vitamins and minerals needed for optimal energy production and healthy stress management. Requirements for nutritional support of the body can be altered due to changes in nutritional availability, time commitments, stress levels and energy requirements that individuals may experience on a daily basis.

Water soluble nutrients such as the B-vitamins, vitamin C and certain minerals are not stored in the body, and so require constant refilling. They're necessary to maintain daily energy levels, to form neurotransmitters, hormones, and immune system substances, and to protect from the effects of stress, aging, occasional sleeplessness and oxidative stress. Natural phytonutrients such as lutein, zeaxanthin, hesperidin and fruit extracts can round out the nutritional profile of a high-quality multiple.

Multivitamins and mineral supplements have been clinically shown to increase many features of health. In order to provide optimal health benefits, the supplement must offer a full range of essential vitamins and minerals, at clinically effective levels, along with other nutrients that supply targeted support to the body's organs and systems.

Most once-daily multivitamins are designed to supply only the recommended daily allowances (RDA), which is defined as the minimum amount of a vitamin or mineral that is needed to prevent a deficiency disease (i.e., scurvy, rickets). The RDAs are not essentially the amount required for optimal health.

Doctor's Choice™ multivitamins are formulated to provide crucial nutrients for energy, bone support, digestion, vision, healthy aging, blood sugar metabolism, and immune health.

Making Multivitamins Easier to Swallow
An online survey of 679 adults established that 40 percent of them had difficulty swallowing pills. Factors that affected the apparent difficulty in swallowing the pill included the size of the pill and the shape. 10 Comprehensive multivitamins, by their very nature, can be large tablets.

To make Doctor's Choice™ Daily Multiples easier to swallow, they are coated using OrganiGlide™ Technology. This unique, OrganiGlide coating is composed of organic spirulina and natural acacia gum that protects the nutrients from light and moisture while helping the tablet slide down the esophagus.

FAQs:

Does Doctor's Choice™ 45+ Women contain any caffeine?
Doctor's Choice™ 45+ Women has a small amount of caffeine, derived from the green tea extract. The total daily amount of caffeine is only 1 milligram. For comparison, the average amount of caffeine in one cup of coffee ranges between 80 to 115 milligrams, depending on the method of brewing and type of coffee bean used.

I have trouble swallowing big vitamin tablets. Why are your tablets so large?
This is the most frequent question our customers ask. Though the tablets are large this is necessary in order to include the optimal amounts of nutrients for good health. They have a coating which gets slippery when in contact with water or saliva to help make them easier to swallow.

A idea to help swallow tablets is to first take a sip of water to moisten your throat. Then place the pill on the tip of your tongue and take a small sip of water. But instead of tilting your head backwards (as many of us are tempted to do), tilt your chin down toward your chest. This will cause the tablet to float towards the back of your mouth, making gravity do most of the work. And if you tend to gag when taking your pills, take a deep breath before putting the tablet in your mouth. This helps suppress your gag reflex and makes swallowing much less uncomfortable.

Do I have to take so many tablets of the Doctor’s Choice ™ multivitamins each day? Can’t I get all the vitamins and minerals I need from one tablet?
In order to obtain the optimal amount of vitamins, minerals, and herbs to be effective, they should to be in amounts that could not possibly fit into a single tablet or capsule in a size small enough to be swallowed. Many nutrients are only active in the body for a short period of time and need to be replenished every 6 to 8 hours. Our Doctor’s Choice™ multivitamins are designed to be taken at intervals during the day (3 times a day, just like meals).

You can take fewer tablets than we recommend on the label, however, it if is difficult to take them throughout the day. Even at half the recommended dosage there is still significant nutritional support, especially when compared to many popular "just one tablet a day" formulas.

Why do I get an upset stomach when I take my Doctor’s Choice™ multivitamins? It seems to happen most often when I take them on an empty stomach.
Whereas nutritional supplements are most often well tolerated, a few herbs and vitamins may make some individuals feel queasy or nauseated. Iron, in particular, has been linked to this problem. Taking supplements with meals will generally eliminate vitamin-associated nausea. If your nausea persists, the following strategies might be helpful:

• Decrease the number of tablets from the recommended four or six each day to just two or three daily.
• Take your multivitamins later in the day; take two with your evening meal and two at bedtime with a small snack.
• Take your vitamins with a clear carbonated beverage, such as ginger ale or lemon/lime soda.

If none of these help, stop taking the Doctor’s Choice™ Multivitamins for a few days to rule out underlying problems. Your nausea may have coincidentally occurred when you started taking the vitamins but may actually be unrelated. Contact your doctor or other healthcare practitioner if your nausea is still present.

Are all the ingredients in the Doctor’s Choice™ multivitamins "natural"?
We strive to use natural raw materials whenever possible. However, due to the limited availability of some of these nutrients, additional processing is sometimes needed to provide adequate raw materials for manufacturing and production. It would also be cost prohibitive for consumers to buy products containing only raw materials derived from a natural source. For example, the manufacturing of vitamin B begins with natural fermentation. Because B vitamins are only available in small quantities in nature, additional processing is needed to provide adequate amounts for manufacturing and production. Therefore, our Doctor’s Choice™ Multivitamins along with the rest of our nutritional supplements reflect the balance between providing high quality vitamins and keeping the price affordable.
