In the new expenditure of ko test compact are located to food auxiliary means in the focus of the investigations. Particularly Multivitaminprparate cut the Ernhrungswissenschaftlerin off Anja Baustian of the society for nourishing medicine and Ditetik by over or Unterdosierungen, insufficient declarations as well as missing warning brain ways badly, commentated today registered association from Aachen.

Multivitaminprparate with Vitamin A to Z such as zinc, are to supply the consumer with all vital Vitaminen and quantity elements. ko test examined the preparations regarding dosage, declaration as well as composition. For this 29 food auxiliary means from reform houses, pharmacies, supermarkets and drugstores were gathered and analyzed. The result is frightening.

Reason for the criticism are over and/or Unterdosierungen of individual contents materials. Some offerers exceed the quantity of Vitaminen by the three-way. Further partial materials are in addition-set, whose use is not yet clearly clarified. Warning references for children when using molybdenum were missing nearly completely. Beyond that the testers markings missed that the preparations are not replacement for a balanced and varied nutrition.

Vitamin C products however obtained fortunately good results. Lack hardly exhibited half of the Vitamin C preparations. Only 13 of the 28 examined products kept total judgements satisfying from to sufficiently . The height of the supply represented the point of criticism of the ko testers.

The analysis of ACE juices exhibited durchwachsene results. Here 5 convinced of 19 juices with the total judgement well . 3 ACE beverages obtained still satisfying as well as sufficiently .
