1. Check if health  food formulation contains a variety of plant because no single plant contains  complete nutrients

2. Check if  the manufacturer supplies more information and data about the research  on the plant being manufactured, method of farming ,the way plant is being processed as to insure the substances in the plant.

3. Check if  the  ingredient are labeled as whole plant foods and not in the chemical name or isolated form such as vitamins with miiligram, most likely it is wholesome and not synthetic. 

4.Check if health  food formulation is safe for all ages.

5. Check if  health food formulation  contains not stimulant 

6.Check if the  Bureau of Food  and  Drugs  (BFAD) categorized  food supplement as food and not as a drugs.

7.Check if its contains warning such as :
  • Not to be given to pregnant woman
  • Keep out of reach of children
  • For adult’s  use only
  • Not recomended for prolong use
  • Take with full stomach or after meals
Those  labels suggest  that the formulation contains some unhealthy substances such as drugs. A food supplement is something  that even the children can safely take in.

just have one question..

is it true that 'eggplant' doesn't have health benefits?

[Paul6151]

based from what i heard. eggplants has the most anti-oxidants. but dont take my word for that. you may have your research.  

[berto]

Hmmm... Paul6151...i dont think so...

mas maraming health benefits pa ang malunggay kesa sa  eggplant..

also tomato and other fruits.

just a thought =)

[Paul6151]

yes. i think it is not true too.
because there are a lot of 'hybrid' fruits that has a lot of anti-oxidants.

[doubledgesword]

since we are talking about food supplements here then  it good to ask this...if you were to choose between taking vitamin c, vitamin a, stress tabs,centrum, nutriplex, myra-300 e...and among many other multivitamins available in the market...which do you think would you prefer and why?

[luis]

sa mga locally available veggies Brocolli has the highest antioxidant content, sa fruits raisins po

[zuvelenterprises]

raisins are usually sun-dried, right?

these are based on ORAC(Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) measurements,we may ask why grapes which are fresh have lower antioxidant capacity, the answer is raisins have more concentrated antioxidants because they are dried

[leerzej23]

talaga? correct me if am wrong, but it appears to me na mas ok pa ang dried raisins kesa sa fresh grapes? well, what do you think about preservatives contained in dried raisins? i think meron yun non especially those contained in cans, packages diba?

[Paul6151]

and i think, exposure to sun is an external agent for aging also. di ba?

[ruben]

if vitamnin c is natural  why not as long as it fresh and no additive added. sa ngayon kasi karamihan sa mga vitamin ay synthetically formulated   at me mga artificial flavor pa. so the best is please refer to what i mentioned in  choosing food supplement.

They are both consist of botanical extract.INTRA is safe for all ages  even to a pregnant woman.Being a ditributor and a user for almost 10 years now we have a lot testimonies Try to log on to http://www.justintra.net/nepa/what.php.
