How do I know the good doctor is right on point with this one?<\/p>\n
Because I formulate my top bars and powders to deliver 20-25% of the minimum daily requirements of as many nutrients as possible. Despite using a very wide range of nutrient dense foods as ingredients, I cannot get enough magnesium, calcium and potassium from the ingredients I use to get to 25% so I have to buy and use those minerals as supplements them to get to 25%.<\/p>\n
I only know this because for each of the 320+ ingredients with which I formulate my products I compute the total of each of 37 nutrients I measure to compare it with the RDI for your body. Something for which you just do not have the data, the time or, most likely, the inclination to do.<\/p>\n
Here is a list of the nutrients for which I have to scrounge and search for data for every one of my ingredients (because the suppliers of my ingredients do not provide this data for each ingredient):<\/p>\n
