Do we really need vitamin supplements?

More than ever before, both local and global scientific studies are showing men and women to have deficiencies or inadequacies in important vitamins and minerals, including calcium, zinc, magnesium and vitamins A, B and C.

These nutrients are vital for healthy functioning organs, skin and eyesight, strong bones, nervous system and general wellbeing. Long-term deficiencies can cause poor health. Demanding work schedules and some lifestyle habits can also be punishing on the body and increase the need for vitamins and minerals. Even if you’re on a ‘balanced diet’, you can still suffer from nutritional deficiencies due to a sluggish digestive system or assimilative disorders.

Furthermore, a balanced diet may not always deliver the needed vitamins and minerals due to some food production, as well as modern farming and processing methods.

Of course, foods contain a broad range of micro and macronutrients, so it is always important to consume healthy foods, and fresh fruits and vegetables. However, scientific studies have proven that a good diet may no longer be enough to deliver optimum health and disease prevention. The world-leading Journal of the American Medical Association, after assessing over 30 years of clinical studies from around the world, published an article recommending that “all adults take one multivitamin daily”.

Is Swisse Australian owned?

Yes, Swisse Vitamins is an Australian owned and operated company.

Is it normal for the colour of my urine to turn bright yellow after taking Swisse formulae?

Yes. These are mainly B vitamins being eliminated from the body.

What your body requires for that day is utilised, and the remainder is excreted. This also shows that the tablet has disintegrated effectively in the body, setting you up perfectly for the rigours of an active day.

What is the difference between Swisse tablets and capsules?

Swisse Ultivites are available in both tablet and capsule form. One Ultivite tablet is equivalent to two capsules.

Capsules are typically smaller in capacity than tablets, so they do not fit as much of each ingredient compared to a tablet. Capsules are easy to swallow, so are an ideal option if you have difficulty swallowing tablets. Some tablets are known to take longer to breakdown (disintegrate) in the body than capsules. However, Swisse’s advanced manufacturing technologies mean that both Swisse tablets and capsules are highly absorbable and take approximately the same time – around 25 minutes – to breakdown in the digestive tract.

Capsules cost approximately 10% more due to the additional manufacturing costs and materials involved.

Why are Swisse products often more expensive than some other multivitamins and supplements?

Swisse Ultivites are a multivitamin, mineral and antioxidant supplement with added herbs. They contain more ingredients than many other multivitamin products. These ingredients are often included in greater amounts, providing commensurate therapeutic benefits.

These ingredients are also sourced from reputable suppliers and the highest quality natural ingredients are used wherever possible, rather than synthetic products that some other manufacturers use.

What differentiates the Swisse Ultivites from other brands?

What really differentiates one product from another is the quality and potency of ingredients utilised, as well as the research used to formulate the product.

What is the Swisse Tri-Synergy Formulation?

Tri-synergy formulation relates to the synergistic action of three elements – vitamins, mineral and herbs, contributing to the efficacy of Swisse Ultivites.

Wherever possible, Swisse Ultivites utilise nutrients that are naturally-sourced, standardised-extract and water-soluble, to ensure better absorption and retentions and prevent toxicity. To ensure that Swisse remains an industry leader, we are continually researching new ingredients to ensure that we incorporate the highest grade of standardised extracts – not the cheapest.

The balance of ingredients is also important, as high levels of one nutrient may cause depletion of another. For this reason, Swisse works closely with medical health care professionals to ensure the right combination of ingredients to deliver peak performance.

Furthermore, Swisse products must pass over 300 quality assurance tests during the three main stages of production ­– analysis of raw materials, manufacturing and finished product testing – to ensure our benchmark standards are maintained. Swisse formulae have been developed around what’s best for wellbeing, regardless of the cost. We start with the research and development and then price the product, rather than working to a commercial equation.
