hey guys I wanted to bring up a couple

points about fat soluble vitamins versus

water soluble vitamins a couple simple

differences fat cybo vitamins are stored

in your fat cells and in your liver

water soluble are not stored and if you

consume too much your body will just get

rid of what you don’t need the

interesting thing about fat soluble

vitamins and I’m talking about vitamin A

D e k1 and k2 as they’re able to

penetrate the fat layer on your cells

and go deeper and even infect the DNA

and then mitochondria whereas water

soluble most of them cannot bypass this

lipid membrane this fat layer right here

so the water soluble vitamins are the B

vitamins and vitamin C okay and of

course we’re not talking about other

nutrients like minerals or trace

minerals we’re just talking about fat

Seibel versus water soluble now as far

as when to take these you would want to

take these with food with fat because if

you consume fat they’ll be absorbed

better these you can take anytime

because you don’t need fat to help them

be absorbed they’re water soluble fat

Seibel vitamins are toxic in large

amounts why well because they’re stored

and they’re not able to be released

through the urine like water soluble

ones are if you take too much so let’s

say for example you consumed liver from

a polar bear and by the way have a

tremendous amount of concentrated

vitamin A well that can actually kill

you it’s very very toxic and that

quantity but if you’re taking two B

vitamins about them and C your body will

tend to get rid of them you probably

noticed that when you urinated after

taking B vitamins that bright yellow

color of urine that’s the B vitamins

coming out because you tip too many and

you probably took synthetic usually when

you take food based or even nutritional

yeast B vitamins you won’t see that

yellow urine because those are more

natural and your body is using them and

the last point I want to bring up is

that when you’re fasting you usually

don’t need to take the fat soluble

vitamins why

because you have enough stored fat

soluble vitamins to last you a bit of

time but with water-soluble vitamins if

you go on a prolonged fast you should be

taking by them and simply because your

body doesn’t store these I mean it

stores some of them like b12 but not all

of them so you could end up with a major

deficiency if you fast too long so when

you fasting B vitamins are good to take

and vitamin C and of course minerals to

primarily potassium okay and sodium but

realize your body really conserves a lot

of sodium but does not store potassium

so you lose a lot of potassium and you

need a lot of potassium and that’s one

of the reasons why I recommend taking

potassium twice as at least twice as

much as your sodium alright thanks for
