let’s talk about the five reasons why

you should avoid synthetic vitamins now

what you need to know is this there’s a

huge difference between synthetic

vitamins and natural vitamins they’re

not the same some people will say

they’re the same a molecule is a

molecule it’s not it’s a different

orientation in nature vitamins come also

in complexes like they’ll come with

trace minerals and cofactors and enzymes

and associated factors and vitamins and

also when you actually just buy natural

vitamins it could come as an individual

part of a complex and that’s a lot

better than a synthetic but there’s

always exceptions for example there is a

time and a place for synthetic vitamins

a short term detoxification program

totally fine necessary because you’re

using vitamins for a different purpose

to help push out toxins so that’s

actually essential but not as a

maintenance you don’t want to do

synthetic vitamins as a maintenance

because they can actually be toxic

there’s a lot of studies out there that

show that even vitamins can cause cancer

now some of the synthetic vitamins are

talking about our like beta carotene or

other phytonutrients but there’s also

studies on even vitamin E

creating a lot of problems so when you

hear this and the news that vitamins

cause cancer would ever realize that

they’re always using synthetic vitamins

in these studies they’re not using food

concentrates whole food concentrates at

all the other exception for synthetic

vitamins would be the synthetic version

of b1 benfotiamine

okay this is a fat soluble vitamin b1

which doesn’t appear to have any side

effects but it’s great to penetrate the

fat layer in your brain the fat layer

around your nervous system the myelin

sheath to help things like peripheral

neuropathy without any toxicity and some

of the water soluble vitamins are not

toxic they just kind of run out to the

body so I’m not saying that all

synthetic vitamins are

but some of them are especially the ones

that are fat soluble the next point is

that when you take high potency

synthetic vitamins they can cause

deficiencies and other nutrients

vitamins in nature always come in these

complexes and when you actually have

large amounts of certain factors and not

other factors you can create an

imbalance because our bodies use

different combinations of nutrients it

doesn’t just use one fraction it uses a

complex of different things synthetic

vitamins are basically artificial

fractions of parts of vitamins made from

things like petroleum oil and coal tar

sulfuric acid and cornstarch synthetic

vitamins so cheaply and then when you

see what they’re which are charging in

the health food store you’re basically

gonna be shocked because the markup is

so high but the quality is not there

synthetic vitamins also do not absorb as

well as natural vitamins primarily I’m

talking about like vitamin E for example

also in synthetic vitamins there’s no

cofactors or enzymes or trace minerals

whoops almost lost that for a second so

I always recommend natural or whole food

vitamin complexes and the way to find

that out is in the back the label you’ll

actually read the ingredients and it

will it’ll tell you if it’s an herb

based or a concentrated food verses on

the nutritional facts like b1 100

milligrams b2 100 milligrams b3 100

milligrams they’re all the same values

in nature you wouldn’t see the same

percentage on all these vitamins they

would be varied if you’re consuming

concentrated liver or liver itself

realize that a lot of people already

have too much iron and if you consume

even a natural amount of liver which is

concentrated iron and that could be bad

plus liver has a super concentrated

amount of vitamin A so you could overdo

it with both iron and vitamin A if you

consumed either too much liver or too

many liver pills and that would be an

exception to the synthetic because liver

is

natural so in summary the exception to

synthetic vitamins would be some type of

detox and then photo mean really try to

go for natural or whole food vitamin

complexes and if you have to take

synthetic vitamins only take them more

on the short-term basis thanks for
