| Seasilver liquid vitamin has been touted as having
nearly every vitamin and mineral that a person will ever need, and
has been claimed to be effective in treating hundreds of diseases.
Of course, in our culture such fantastic claims cannot but, at first,
be met with a healthy dose of skepticism. A seasilver review by
the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission
found these claims to be unsubstantiated. Distributors who peddle
the product must refrain from making further unsubstantiated claims,
or be guilty of seasilver fraud.
Part of the claim to fame made by the seasilver liquid vitamin
is simply that it is liquid, and is therefore more bio-available
than vitamins in pill or tablet form. However, a seasilver review
reveals that it is made of primarily preservatives, not exactly
the best stuff on earth for good health. Further, it is a fact that
merely having vitamins in liquid form does not make them more easily
absorbed. The liquid simply enters your stomach, where it is destroyed
by stomach acids. No scientific findings to date have substantiated
anything different for SeaSilver. The only way to get vitamins delivered
directly to your bloodstream is through injection or by using “sublingual”
(beneath the tongue) tablets.
Seasilver liquid vitamins lists a whole host of vitamins, minerals
and enzymes on its label. The company claims that these have been
effective in treating over 650 diseases. There has been no substantiation
of this. Merely having a boatload of vitamins and minerals bundled
together in one package does not make the package effective. Vitamins
and minerals must be balanced against each other in just the right
quantities to be effective. One of their claims has to do with Aloe
Vera, which they claim cleans “morbid matter” from a
whole host of internal organs, infusing your blood with high levels
of oxygen to boot. However, the FDA has determined that Aloe Vera
is effective merely as a laxative, and not at treating diseases.
Further, oxygen is distributed to your blood by breathing and not
by pills or tablets. In 2002 the FDA clamped down on these misleading
claims and also levied huge fines against the company for engaging
in deceptive advertising. The latest news is that the company will
continue producing the product, but with a more toned-down marketing
campaign.
Our seasilver review is simple. We can think of no reason for
anyone to need a liquid vitamin, seasilver or otherwise, unless
one is having difficulty properly swallowing or digesting vitamins
in tablet or pill form. The best bet for vitamin nutrition is what
are called nutraceuticals. These are nutrient dense, whole food
vitamins, and will give you the potent nutrition that you need.
Of course, in the final analysis, the decision about what vitamins
you should take is up to you.
