Life's Fortune Liquid Vitamin Supplement Facts

Life's Fortune Liquid Multi-Vitamin and Mineral is one of many dietary supplements offered by the manufacturer, Life's Fortune. The company is based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and as of November 2010, they made 12 supplement products. Multivitamins help make consumers feel better about their health. Vitamins and minerals are proven to prevent deficiency-related diseases, but experts at the Mayo Clinic say a balanced diet is better than taking excess supplements.

  1. Composition

    • Life's Fortune Liquid Multi-Vitamin and Mineral is a dietary supplement sold in a 32-oz. bottle containing 32 one-ounce servings. Nutrients include vitamins A, C, D, E, vitamin B complex, magnesium, zinc, calcium, iodine, selenium, potassium, manganese and chromium. Additional ingredients include cranberry seed oil, para-aminobenzoic acid, boron, choline bitartrate, inositol, vanadium, herbal extracts in aloe vera, molybdenum, super greens and Life's Fortune proprietary blend.

    Daily Values

    • Life's Fortune Liquid Multi-Vitamin far exceeds many of Daily Values in terms of nutrients delivered per serving. For example, a 1 ounce serving, about 2 tbsp, gives 3,333 percent of the daily value for thiamine (vitamin B-1), 2,941 percent for riboflavin (vitamin B-2), 2,500 percent for vitamin B-6 and 1,667 percent for vitamin B-12. The liquid multivitamin also gives more than 100 percent of the daily value for pantothenic acid; vitamins A, C and E; and manganese. However, one serving does give less than 100 percent of the daily value for biotin, zinc, selenium, calcium, magnesium, copper, chromium and potassium.

    Multivitamin Myths

    • Millions of adults take multivitamins to feel healthier, and ward off chronic and contagious diseases. However, according to the Mayo Clinic and the National Institutes of Health, there is not enough conclusive proof that multivitamins prevent chronic health problems. A more realistic solution is a nutritionally balanced diet coupled with multivitamins. Also, excess amounts of vitamins and minerals can be damaging to your health. For example, consuming too much vitamin A, or beta carotene, may actually increase your risk for lung cancer.

    FDA

    • Life's Fortune Liquid Multi-Vitamin is classified as a dietary supplement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Essentially, it is meant to supplement a diet, and it is not intended to cure, treat or prevent disease. The FDA actually recommends that consumers purchase an inexpensive multivitamin that gives no more than 100 percent of the daily value for your basic nutrients.
