CHOOSE THE RIGHT VITAMINS! STOP WASTING MONEY & POISON YOURSELF BY LEARNING NOW HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT VITAMINS.

Do you currently buy your vitamins at the local grocery store, super market, pharmacy, etc? More than likely, you are not getting what you paid for and are doing more harm than good. Getting your daily dose of vitamins and minerals should come from food, and only then should you supplement with high quality products when necessary. Many store bought vitamins contain harmful ingredients and chemicals. Synthetic vitamins are cheaply made and are in non-absorbable forms so your body does not get any nutritional benefits.

Stop wasting your money and harming your body.
What to avoid
Beware of the term “other ingredients,” these can include: talc, dyes, sodium benzoate, methylcellulose, carnauba wax, silicon/titanium dioxide, animal parts, and artificial ingredients. Why does something that is supposed to benefit you contain such toxic chemicals while you, the consumer, think you are doing the right thing by supplementing.

Gummy or kids’ fruit-flavored chewable vitamins, designed to be colorful and taste like candy, are loaded with possible carcinogenic, artificial ingredients and food dyes. The first ingredient in many of these children’s vitamins is: glucose syrup. Other ingredients include: Blue #2, Red #40, Yellow #6 and aspartame, the known neurotoxin. Voluntarily feeding children these “vitamins” is doing more harm than good; stop poisoning your kids. Several published studies discuss the link between food additives/dyes and ADHD in children. In a double-blind study, children that were fed a diet that included food additives and dyes had worsening ADHD symptoms, while children that had additive-free diets had improved symptomology.

Remember, quality over quantity
Ask yourself, what are the ingredients? Where do the ingredients come from? Are the vitamins/minerals in absorbable forms? Is the product organic? How long has it been sitting on the shelf for? If you do not know what an ingredient is, research it. “Whole food supplements are made by concentrating foods for use in supplements” (Standard Process). Whole food supplements help to close the nutritional gap caused by over-processed, nutrient-deficient food in today’s society. Eat more fruits and vegetables, organic whenever possible, and supplement with high quality products when necessary.

Synergy of nutrients Αis fundamental
Today, research shows that single vitamins taken out of the food is not as effective in promoting health as eating the whole food. The reason is that whole food is a complex and integrated group of associated substances. These substances include vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, enzymes, fats, carbohydrates, nucleotides and important currently unknown micronutrients.  There are thousands of micronutrients that we are still discovering and thousands more remained to be identified.

Each food is a unique combination of these factors at specific concentrations. To better explain this concept, let’s take vitamin E as an example. In the health community, people believe that vitamin E is a mix of different tocopherols and tocotrinenols (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). But the truth is that the real vitamin E contains these tocopherols and tocotrinenols in addition to selenium, xanthine, the cholesterol digester lipositol,omega-3 and -6, an anti-angina factor, a hormonal precursor, and most likely other compounds not yet identified. We can see that Mother Nature is very complex.

Therefore, isolating vitamin E from a food is not the same and is not as effective as using the whole food with all its constituents. In fact, taking these isolated vitamins can lead potentially to stressed metabolism in detoxification organs. Efficient use of the isolated vitamins requires them to be combined with constituents normally present in the whole vitamin complex with which they act synergistically. When these additional constituents are not consumed with the vitamin, they must be derived from nutrient storage sites in the body. Therefore, continued ingestion of synthetic and isolated vitamins can lead to deficiencies of other essential nutritional factors. The synergism that exists between these individual constituents of the whole foods provides for a dynamic physiological response in which the benefits of the whole exceed the sum of the parts.

In conclusion, supplementing our diet is primordial as we now know that our soils are depleted in several nutrients. The best vitamins are those made from whole foods in order to preserve their synergistic activity. In this condition, we can obtain a therapeutic benefit from these products and truly address the causes of health problems that people develop over their lifetime.
