Question:
I wanna know anything about Zipvit.?
Zipvit sells apparently low cost food supplements ie vitamins & minerals, essential oils etc. I wanna know more about the safety and quality of their products, value for money, trading standards etc..compared to like holland and barrett or other leading healthshops... if you got like independent &/or government reviews of the company and their products that would be great....
Answers:
Vitamin supplements are known to have almost no therapeutic effect on most people. If you look carefully at modern packs they either may make no health claims or say 'might or may'. This is because they are no longer allowed to legally make unsubstantiated claims.
In general we cannot make use of more than optimum vitamin intake. If the vitamins are water soluble excess is peed out, though in the case of Vitamin C, for which many claims have been made for huge doses over the years, one study has suggested an INCREASED cancer risk in doses over 500mgs/day! If the vitamins are fat soluble they can accumulate and cause toxicity. This is most likely with Vitamin A, which can produce eye damage and vitamin D taking very high daily doses of vitamin D over several months can cause toxicity and a high calcium level in the blood.
