FAQ'S
90 APPENDIX
Why do supplements exceed the RDA levels?
The RDA/RNI levels are guidelines that take into account levels of nutrients required to prevent
specifi c defi ciency causing disease not the optimum levels needed to maintain good health.
Why do Nutrigold supplements seem to contain lower levels of certain
nutrients in their supplements compared to other products?
Nutrigold state the elemental rather than the gross weight of nutrients on product labels. This indicates
the amount of active mineral that is available for utilisation within the body rather than the impressive
but misleading gross weight label claim that often delivers less of the nutrient than you think. This
makes Nutrigold products cost effective and value for money.
Why are some food supplements cheaper than others?
The cost of a food supplement mostly refl ects the quality of ingredients. Cheaper ingredients such
a mineral oxides and carbonates (chalk) may seem value for money at the point of sale but are not
well absorbed or utilised effi ciently by the body. They may even cause unwanted side effects like
diarrhoea. To make our products as effective as possible we only use the highest quality, bioactive raw
materials and state the elemental weight of minerals on all our product labels.
Can I take food supplements with medication?
If you are under medical supervision please consult a doctor before starting a nutritional programme
or taking food supplements. For information about possible contraindications of specifi c nutrients with
certain medications please consult a qualifi ed practitioner.
