^ touche about the attitude.
Vitamineral Green is an incredible product, if you want to debate that then we can do that. I have personally met the man that makes it and he is an incredible human being. I don't think adding the word homeopathy to a bottle deserves something being discredited. Some would call that being close minded. For example if someone said "vibrational energies....that's a big red flag for me" simply because you do not believe in it does not mean it has no merit.
And you are right; I have not done much traveling and do not really have any idea what other parts of the world are really like. That being said, are we talking about ethiopans needs for multivitamins or bluelighters needs? If you don't have food to eat my guess is you don't have a computer either, so you can see what I'm getting at. I am simply putting the information out there.
I can't help but feel this is more of a personal vendetta and less discussion about the debate at hand, which is people wasting money/health on unnecessary multivitamins. I CARE about EVERY human beings health VERY much, and that is why I am saying these things.
"Chemical: Amount Found in Centrum/ EPA Maximum Allowed Limit in 1 Liter of Drinking Water
1) Sodium selenite : 55 mcg/ 50 mcg
2) Nickelous sulfate: 5 mcg/ 100 mcg
3) Stannous chloride (tin): 10 mcg/ 4 mcg
4) Ferrous fumarate (iron): 18 mg/ .3 mg
5) Manganese sulfate: 2.3 mg/ .05 mg
6) Cupric sulfate: .5 mg/ 1.3 mg
In the left hand column above you will see the quantities of inorganic minerals found within each dose of Centrum. In the right hand column are the maximum quantity allowed by the EPA in one liter of drinking water. In the case of stannous chloride (tin), ferrous fumarate (iron) and manganese sulfate there are significantly higher doses in Centrum than are considered safe for human consumption in a liter of water. Also, cupric sulfate is used as a herbicide, fungicide and pesticide! Although the others listed are at levels well under the EPA’s allowable limit, it is simply amazing that they are found in a product for human consumption at any quantity given their known toxicity.
So, if these chemicals are toxic, how can they be marketed as beneficial to our health?
As of today no law forbids the use of these substances in dietary supplements, despite laboratory research demonstrating their toxicity in animals, and epidemiological and occupational data demonstrating their actual or potential toxicity in humans. This is due to the widespread acceptance in the U.S. of a chemical and drug industry-friendly “weight of evidence” standard for toxicological risk assessment. Rather than using the “precautionary principle,” which dictates that a substance that is suspected of being harmful should be duly regulated in order to minimize the public’s exposure, the “weight of evidence” paradigm requires that a panel of government appointed experts must evaluate all available toxicological data, and must come up with a consensus that the evidence, unequivocally, demonstrates the substance in question poses a serious health risk. Until such an assessment can be made, a number of substances with obvious toxicity are “innocent until proven guilty” and can be portrayed by irresponsible and/or uneducated manufacturers as being beneficial to human health. It is sad and ironic that at a time when smaller dietary supplement manufacturers are being accused of being “unregulated” and having poor quality standards (even when they are incurring great costs by using vastly superior ingredients) that massive pharmaceutical companies, who have every resource at their disposal, are allowed to market toxic chemicals to consumers under the banner of USP (United States Pharmacopeia) or “pharmaceutical grade” quality, and get away with it."

"Take a look at the RDAs. Most multivitamins have excessive amounts of vitamin A. We’ll cover this more in the section on potency vs. toxicity. Look for the doses to be roughly proportionate to the RDA, understanding that RDAs are low for certain nutrients.
You’ll want to see if the supplement—whether multivitamin or single—is cold-processed. If it is not, the enzymes, phytochemicals and other essential substances will not be there and what you buy will mostly end up in your urine. So, a cheap hot-processed supplement is actually quite expensive because your body utilizes so little of it."

Homeopathy is a HUGE red flag in any product IMO.![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
