The trouble with multis is that when you want to get enough of one thing, you find that to take more of the dosage you get too much of something else. The right dose of B's you might take would indicate a double dose of the Weill formula. To get enough E, I am not sure exactly what would be ideal, but it looks like about 4 to 6 daily doses. And the E does not look optimally balanced with respect to gamma to delta to beta to alpha ratios. (should decline this direction allegedly) And there would be way too much selenium. Just my opinion at a first glance. Most multi's have that problem. I think AOR's Multi-Basics 3 and CNC's RTRE are approx properly balanced, although MB3 is short of E too. Both have too much selenium to allow make up.

A new issue with Canadian supplements is the NPN problem. They (the gov't, big pharma/AMA/CMA) are looking to shut down or pharmaceutically control the industry. Few people are complaining at a grass roots level. One company, AOR used to list 80 products, and is now down to only 2 because of the new government legislation. Supplement companies must registed all substances by what is called a NPN or national product number. 10,000 a product and a lot or red tape. Will drive many smaller herbal companies out of business. I see it as a drug conglomerate AMA/CMA drive to run the supplement makers off the market in order to secure a big pharma monopoly on the drug and supplement business. Few supplements have significant side effects and no supplement makers are in significant law suits for deaths, side effects or other torts. As a matter of fact supplements in general have a far better track record with regard to side effects within their sphere of efficacy/usage than the mainstream drug world. And their therapeutic value while routinely scoffed at by mainstream medicine is actually pretty fair. I for one can attest to that. It all depends on usage. In fairness, the pharma Rx drug is trying to do more, more completely, for more serious and life threatening conditions often (although with degenerative disease, this is open to question) and is acknowledged as perhaps necessarily more toxic. They are two different worlds and it is unfair to put the pharm umbrella over the supplement world. No supplement has yet to be demonstrated as unsafe to use in a recommended manner.
