If you could look inside the mind of dinoiii (and not necessarily my unofficial bio on this site) and attempt to guess what I see as an issue, please list as many as you can think of. To the one who guesses the most correct, a prize! You will have EXACTLY 30 days to get your entry in and a winner will be announced in this very thread on Monday, October 15, 2007 at 9:00pm EST. All entries are to be received by 8:00pm EST that day.
REMEMBER: You don't have to get them all right, just whoever can really think of the MOST. Think formulating in the supplement industry IF dinoiii regulated all the companies is as easy as throwing things in a pill and calling it R&D?

Let me take a crack at this
MVP (Spot the 6!)
- Vitamin D (exclusion of it for the majority)
- Vitamin E (MIXED tocopherols as main, if not only, source)
- Magnesium (Chelated instead of ascorbate)
- Vitamin K (exclusion of it for the majority)
- Magnesium and Calcium in the same formula (absorption of either or)
- Herbal extacts (extreme underdosed)
- Niacin
ZMK (Spot the 7!)
- Naturally occurring 72 Trace Mineral Blend (Exclusion of it)
- Selenium (Too high. Should be 200mg COMBINED with natural food sources)
- Copper & Zinc in the same formula (absorption of either or)
- Vanadium (exclusion of it for the majority)
- chelated form (e.g bisglycinate/amino acid chelation vs krebs cycle CFMSA chelation)
- tablet form (vs capsule)
That's all i have.. can't think of anymore with my limited knowledge.. hopefully i put in a good try (entry)! Either way, i've learnt a few new things looking at such products with a more cynical/observational view. Thanks D for this initiative.
