Read this if you are Taking Multivitamins
This part of the article is very informative. I do have some issues with Dr. Mercola always selling his products, but I believe they are probably better than most. However, I would never buy them. I would rather eat well and try to get all the vitamins and minerals that I can by eating well. I make green smoothies every morning. Fruit, spinach, raw honey and cinnamon. You should try them. They are absolutely delicious. And the benefits of juicing these foods are amazing. Google it!!

Whole Food Multivitamin +Plus Vital Minerals Nutritional Supplement
In my opinion, if you shop for your supplements at discount stores you may be seriously shortchanging yourself because those products typically use cheap synthetic isolates.

Millions gorge themselves on synthetic vitamins, only to acquire and die from degenerative diseases.

You see, isolated vitamins are partial vitamins, combined with other chemicals. They’re a low-end alternative to whole, real complete food.

When you remove a part from the whole, you get ‘Synthetic,’ ‘Isolated,’ or ‘Fractionated’ pieces of the whole, but it’s simply not the same.

There are four problems with synthetic vitamins…

1.

Nature intended for you to consume food in WHOLE form because all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes are together in one package. They work synergistically to give your body the nutrition it requires for optimal health.
2.

Your body only absorbs a small percentage of an isolate form of vitamins and minerals – and it utilizes even less. You get the best bioavailability in whole food form.
3.

Synthetic vitamins often give you massive quantities of some nutrients (usually the most inexpensive ones) and insufficient quantities of others, not balance.
4.

You can experience side effects of synthetic isolates from the additives and the unnatural state of the synthetic supplement.
