Your supplement cabinet doesn't have to look like mine... but if you aren't taking any vitamins/supplements, you likely have some deficiencies. Here's why:
1. The standard American diet is far from nutritious and our food pyramid is a joke. Most people simply aren’t getting what they need from their food. 2. Today’s modern farming practices have stripped our soil of nutrients, so our fruits & veggies are not as nutrient-dense as they used to be. 3. Glyphosate (pesticides/herbicides) on non-organic food depletes the nutrients. Organic produce typically has 3-4x the nutritional value as non-organic. 4. Medications, stress, glyphosate, parasites and other pathogens and toxins cause gut issues & prohibit the absorption of nutrients. 5. Many of the latest diet fads can almost guarantee you will have nutrient deficiencies. I’m a vegetarian and will never get the amount of zinc, iron and B vitamins I need from food alone. 6. Many health conditions can improve significantly just by proper supplementation.
These are the top things I look for to ensure I’m getting a quality vitamin/supplement. -Go for organic, or at the very least non-GMO. No gross fillers like stearates, silicon dioxide or artificial colors. -Make sure it’s a bioavailable form of the product or a form particular for what you’re trying to treat. -Make sure the product/brand is 3rd party tested. Are their claims legit?! -Try to get the supplements/vitamins directly from the manufacturer or a trusted third party like FullScript. If you love Amazon, try to make sure they come from the brand directly and not some shady 3rd party distributor. There are lots of counterfeits on there with fake products, fake expiration dates, etc. -Read the dosing amount & make sure it’s adequate. -Be sure to check out my vid on supplement pairings & interactions… not all vitamins should be taken together and some interact. Some should be taken with food and some work best alone. That's why I'm not a big believer in the multivitamin.
