Why we selected this company:
Seroyal, a natural pharmaceutical company was founded in 1984. Their products are based on scientific rationale using only the purest, highest quality, natural, raw ingredients available. Seroyal’s products are made with care and attention to every detail. To ensure product uniformity, each ingredient is accurately weighed, tested and precisely mixed. To retain the full healing properties of each component, all tablets are cold-pressed and a low pressure compressing process is used. This unique method does not involve the use of heat as is the standard practice in the industry. No lubricants or fillers are used during our encapsulation process whenever possible. They use the purest source of lubricant available, such as biodegradable vegetable cellulose, to maintain consistent capsule weight and content conformity.
Seroyal’s vegetable capsules are free of pesticides, preservatives and additives, tested by government-approved independent laboratories to ensure quick dissolution and disintegration. They guarantee that the disintegration time does not exceed 20 minutes from the time of ingestion for capsules, and 30 minutes for all their tablets. They regularly test their capsules and tablets to confirm weight variation and ingredient potency.
When manufacturing the Seroyal products, they follow the procedures outlined in the Good Manufacturing Practices. They ensure precision and objectivity during testing by contracting government-approved independent laboratories to assay and verify each ingredient for every product in each lot. They reconfirm each ingredient’s potency, weight variation, disintegration time and the absence of heavy metals, bacteria, E. coli, salmonella, yeasts, mold and other contaminants.

Protective Effect of Multivitamin Supplementation on DNA Damage in Lymphocytes
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 80 healthy volunteers who were non-users of dietary supplements and medications, results indicate that daily use of multivitamin supplements may exert a protective effect against DNA damage in lymphocytes. The participants were randomized to receive a multivitamin capsule or placebo daily for 4 weeks. Oxidative DNA damage and the resistance of DNA to H(2)O(2)-induced DNA strand breaks in lymphocytes were analyzed ex vivo at baseline and intervention end. Supplementation with the vitamin complex was found to significantly decrease the levels of DNA damage. Only vitamin complex supplementation was able to decrease H(2)O(2)-induced DNA breakage. Thus, the authors of this study conclude, "Our data suggest that the consumption of some vitamins may reduce the effects of oxidative DNA damage and may be useful for attaining healthy aging."
