What is the difference between the MD brand Nutrex and the regular Nutrex astaxanthin? thanks

Probably the fact that the MD brand is very pure and organic. It comes from a very good source.

Hi Heidi,I didn't even think about that when I bought it. That is a good question. I have to call the company and find out. I am curious myself. When I find out I will let you know. But I do like the md plus. I never bought the baby quasar so I can't compare them. I do notice that it plumps up my skin and gives me a glow.

No. The DR is thicker & pearlescent (sp?) looking & the NT is a little runnier. However, it has the right ingredients in it to make it nourishing.

Hmm, don't really know how to compare the amounts: Nutramedix is 500 mg per capsule in a blend of Jerusalem artichoke extract and Serrapeptase. I don't know how that compares in amount of serrapeptase activity to the Doctor's Best 40,000 or 120,000 SPUs... Sorry not to be more helpful!

They are not the same product. The pro formula should only be taken under the watch of an ND or MD. I am taking the Macalife under directions of my Naturopathic doctor. It has been amazing for me and I wouldn't do without.

I don't know the exact differences, but their customer service is top notch and can give you the technical details ... support@joyandkarma.com This product is much thicker in consistency than the Vitamin C one, and I like that I don't have to worry about it dripping off my face so quickly. You can use both products together, but I think they probably work the same if you only want to buy one product.

I have the Grape after checking out both and it works great for me. I saw no difference. I don't want to flat out say no difference but I did not find any difference other than brand name.

Not sure Rebecca ---Not sure I even really know the difference. I buy both labels at trader Joes and never gave it much thought --enjoy them equally --sorry

On the Omega Vision bottle, it says "formerly Ultimate DHA Eye," so there is no difference. I also called Nordic Naturals and asked Customer Service about the difference between Omega Vision and ProDHA, and she told me there is none. They sell ProDHA to the professional industry and Omega Vision to health stores.

You can actually find some good info in this regard at the Just the Crystals website. These aren't the superfine (nearly sand-like quality) you'll get in with the Mimi Crystals from Walmart, but are slightly larger grain. We've found that there's a balance between size and texture in terms of best absorbency and what works (as in most people's experience with the cheaper, very chunky brands). Absorbency is also measurable -- and these have the highest ml/g absorbency ration available (hence why they are "premium" branded). Most of this info can be found at my website, but please don't hesitate to contact me directly via the contact info there if I can personally answer any questions -- always here to help! Rick

The more expensive one has MSM in it which is for joint health. I use one or the other and cannot see any difference. I decided I'd rather purchase the less expensive one because of that. There doesn't appear to be any difference in the lotion as far as texture or thickness. I get good results from both as far as the magnesium in them. It helps leg cramps at night.

I am not sure about the regular. It is the exact same ones that I get in a package of Preseed, except without the measurements of ml, so I had to guess on how much to use. I do wish the ends were a little more "rounded" so I felt better about using them, but I have never had any issues with these!

Comparing the LEF "Super Zeaxanthin" with "MacuGuard" on LEF's site, this is what I see: Same: Natural Astaxanthin 6mg, C3G2.2mg Different: "Super" shows Optilut, LuteinPlus, and MZ at 38mg and Zeaxanthin and Meso-zeaxanthin at 3.75 mg. "Macuguard" blend is 145mg, which is a blend including 10mg free lutein (which is in the "Super") and the Zeaxanthin and Meso-zeaxanthin at 4 mg. So you get a little more (.25mg) Zeaxanthin and Meso-zeaxanthin in Macuguard, as well as some phospholipids (maybe 100mg since they don't list anything else). I did check the LEF site for Astaxanthin and they had a standalone that has phospholipids, and described it this way: "with 80 mg of a proprietary blend of four phospholipids to facilitate maximum absorption of astaxanthin into the bloodstream, where it's transported to cells throughout the body. " So Macuguard does look like an improved version of the old "Super Zeaxanthin".

I can only speculate, because they are different products in regards to the amount of phytochemical contained. Special dark has been processed, and includes fewer. However, most people don't select the products for their health benefits but for taste. What's new-that is, unfortunately, the common denominator for most people.

Very simple . The GNC multivitamin has nothing in it for digestive support where as the Rainbow Light does. Everything else is almost identical, except GNC adds food coloring to their vitamins and I haven't figured out how food coloring helps me. Rainbow light vitamins are completely food based made.

It appears to be. I've been using this supplement for about a year and I've recommended it to many. So far I believe it to be the best astaxanthin out there as it is harvested in Hawaiian waters and I personally have noticed a difference with my eyes--less floaters. I hope this helps. Many blessings!!

I believe tonalin is the brand name. I used that years ago and I definitely prefer Naturewise CLA to the tonalin. Naturewise is stronger in mg and I feel it works faster.
