Are all minerals created equal?

[Guest guest]

Hi :

In consideration to minerals, are all minerals created equal? You mentioned

Solgar which I respect greatly. However, my husband heard recently on the

news that there are warnings to people about buying more expensive name brands

as the consumer is only paying for the fancier container and name it bears.

In your opinion, is it any more fruitful to buy Solgar than say a generic

brand from Walmart? I personally use Shaklee multi vitamins, calcium and

lecithin. There are no mineral supplementation from Shaklee to date.

Otherwise, this regimen has been very helpful along with a small dose of

Toprol XL (beta blocker) for rapid heart rate. I was prescribed 50 mg per day.

I am taking only 18 mg. My system cannot handle the high dose.

Your opinion as well as others are welcomed. Thank you.
