There is a basic powder product from Actilife Switzerland that
claims to help maintain a healthy acid-base pH level in the
body. In very fine tiny hard to read red letters on an orange
background, I was surprised to read that the daily recommended
dose also provides 100 % RDA for vit C. And over 40% RDA for
calcium and magnesium, and over 30% for iron and zinc. Even
more surprising was that the ingredients: high on the list was
citric acid, and lower was powdered lemon juice, and ascorbic
acid, making it look like the more expensive natural vit C,
instead of the cheaper synthetic. Yeast is also on the list of
ingredients, albeit low. When I looked at similar products, I
could not find any others with vitamin C. My question is the
following: is there a greater requirement for vitamin C when
taking such a basic mixture? Actilife has various other
products for calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and vitamin C,
and perhaps I just answered my own question why these added
ingredients are not so clearly advertised. It is expensive,
but considering all you get for it without clearly seeing it,
then its quite a good buy.
