Capps stands for completeness, absorbabilty, potency, purity and safety. Watch movie
- Completeness: It’s best for optimum health that you take a little of all the essential nutrients instead of just taking a lot of one or two vitamins. A good supplement product will give you a complete balanced spectrum of all the nutrients required – vitamins, minerals, alpha lipoic acid and coenzme Q10. You will find that many nutritional manufacturers will leave out expensive nutrients to be competitive in the market.
- Balanced: Our bodies are complex systems that require nutrients at different levels and are best absorbed when they are present together in synergy. They tend to be less effective when alone. A good formulation will be having nutrients in synergy to deliver optimum levels of essential nutrition to our cells. If the balances are out then we can be faced with harmful consequences and the absorbabilty of other nutrients may be hampered if one is out of balance.
- Potency: If nutrition is too little its useless and if too much it can be harmful. Though the micronutrients are in very small amounts we still need to be careful of these amounts as we could do more harm than good if we over dose with the wrong amounts.
- Bio-Availablity: If we don not use any of the nutrition in our bodies then that is wasted. The absorbality of vitamins and minerals vary where some are more bio-available than others. A good brand of supplement always uses the best form of nutrition that could deliver the highest level of bio-availability. Any example of this is that of chelated minerals, ie., those minerals that are bonded to an amino acid will be readily absorbed than mineral salts.
- Safety: We`all take vitamins for extra protection and do not want to do harm to our bodies. Safety plays an important part in selecting a good supplement. Avoid supplements that have iron or performed vitamin A, as these can have long term adverse harmful effects on our bodies. Also the formulation must adhere to exacting standards of manufacturing as seen in pharmaceutical products, ensuring purity and uniformity in every product.
