Aldi Vitamins

Antibac

I've discovered these recently. They are much cheaper than holland and Barrett and Boots and all the packaging says they have your daily allowance. Are they really the same or are the cheaper ones missing something?

Compare this to the back of your Aldi bottle http://www.hollandandbarrett.ie/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=112&prodid=59&cid=39&sid=0

Some don't have iron, some have varying amounts of vitamins and minerals so this "all your daily needs" thing is bs because your daily needs are quite specific depending on what you're getting or not getting from your food which you can check on cronometer.

Also it can do damage to yourself by getting too much of one vitamin and a lot of whats in these pills are not absorbed by the body anyway so I don't take them as I'd be overdosing on one thing and still deficient in another.

Personally I don't feel like theres much of a difference in the multivitamins on a whole just like the way that the brand name Panadol here is many times the price of the generic kind and their basically the same if not varying in their formulas.

I bought those one and cod oil as well in Aldi, because my doctor sugested me, he said: they are cheap and they are same, most of them.

havent got them in front of me now but think I compared the info on Berocca to the equivalent fizzy tabs in Aldi once and the Aldi ones had maybe a tenth of some of the things in the berocca ones.
no idea myself though about RDAs and all that

dont be ragging on aldi! As far as I know they have like 20,000 stores across europe! theyre cheap becuase they bulk buy. Just cos theyre new in ireland doesnt mean theyre second rate.

yeah but what's in them? ...have you compared the nutritional info to an established brand?

I find mineral deficiency to be much more of a problem, so have a look if there's mineral in there too?
