Health statistics show that many Australian adults are receiving well below the RDIs of essential vitamins and minerals - particularly iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, vitamin A and some of the B group vitamins. Daily supplementation with a broad range of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, provides nutritional insurance by helping to achieve an optimum intake for health. Blackmores’ sustained release system is based on a unique matrix consisting of two vegetable gums - guar gum (from the seeds of a legume), and gum acacia (from the sap of acacia trees). The sustained release principle involves the leaching of vitamins and minerals from the tablet ‘core’ as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract. Dosage:Adults - Take 1 tablet a day with meal, or as professionally prescribed.Children - We recommend Blackmores Kids Chewable Multi. Cautions:The recommended adult daily amount of vitamin A from all sources is 2 500 IU. Dosage: WARNING - When taken in excess of 8 000 IU vitamin A can cause birth defects. If you are pregnant, or considering becoming pregnant, do not take vitamin A supplements without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. Not suitable for use by children under 15 years. Selenium is toxic in high doses. Selenium in dietary supplements should not exceed a daily dose of 100mcg. Always read the label. Use only as directed |
