Vitamins Myths and Truths

Many people believe vitamins can replace whole foods, so they take a multiple vitamin every day and don't worry about eating nutritious foods. This is a big mistake.

#2. Myth: The more vitamins you take, the healthier you'll be.

We've been convinced,that mega doses of vitamins are healthy. However, research has proved that that just the opposite is true. Since most vitamins are colloidal (large molecules), synthetic, and contain inorganic elements, binders and fillers, most of the potential health benefits are lost or cannot be utilized properly.

Most synthetic vitamins come in mass-volume and cannot be broken down by the body.

My recommendations is to eat to get your vitamins. If that is difficult, then find a good source of whole food vitamins. We use Standard Process Whole food suuplements in our office. These are organic vitamins that are not synthetic and come from whole foods.
