i have some very interesting information

i want to share with you related to

synthetic vitamins from my viewpoint

synthetic vitamins should not be taken

on a regular basis

for

increasing your health now if you’re

taking them for a detoxification program

that’s something completely different

but taking them on a regular basis month

after month after month

could create some problems so we’re

going to talk about why and the reason

i’m bringing this up is because 98

of all vitamins sold are made

synthetically

and the question is are they the same as

natural vitamins and the answer is no

because just because it’s similar does

not make it

identically the same that’s like saying

an artificial flavoring is exactly the

same as a natural flavoring it’s not

90

of all the ascorbic acid or synthetic

version of vitamin c is comes from china

and the regulation of what you’re

getting might not be at the standards

that you really need as well especially

since vitamin c is made from gmo corn

with

other chemicals other solvents now

ideally the best way to get your

nutrients is through food nutrient dense

foods but it’s very difficult to find

foods with all the nutrients that you

need

but the other thing to know is that your

own microbes in your gut make vitamins

now the actual form

of a synthetic vitamin versus a natural

vitamin is different now i don’t want to

get into the complexities

of synthetic vitamins but when you have

synthetic vitamins some of that vitamin

is in a different form so when it goes

to your body like a lock and a key

it’s not going to fit so as a good

portion of that vitamin is going to be

wasted so the absorption rate or the

bioavailability of the synthetic vitamin

is is lower and this is why you see the

synthetic vitamins in massive amounts

like

11 000

percent of your rdas and so a lot of

that’s going to be passing out through

your urine unless it’s fat soluble and

with synthetic vitamins you don’t have

all the cofactors

that normally come with a vitamin in

nature vitamins and nature are complexes

and they have a lot of helper molecules

they don’t come in this industrial

isolated

fractionated part they come in this

synergistic complexity of a lot of

different parts which includes like they

might have a trace mineral part of that

vitamin they’ll have other vitamins that

help the absorption and one reason for

this is because let’s just take

antioxidants

when an antioxidant donates its electron

to a free radical which is basically

something that has that’s unpaired in

other words it it’s missing an electron

so the antioxidant donates this electron

to make this free radical stable well

now that antioxidant becomes

a free radical because now it’s missing

an electron so it has to borrow electron

from a friend or neighbor antioxidant so

if you don’t have a network of

antioxidants you can basically turn your

antioxidants into free radicals so this

is why mother nature always comes in

a group

of antioxidants and associated helper

molecules now the other really big

problem

with the synthetic vitamins is that they

have residual

traces of

some of the solvents

chemical compounds

like chloroform petroleum

acetate glyphosate which is an herbicide

and even hexane which is a solvent but

in nature you’re not going to find that

at all now the thing with vitamins is

they come in both fat soluble forms and

water soluble forms so if you took a

high amount of a water soluble synthetic

vitamin the extra would be eliminated

through your kidneys but if it’s a fat

soluble vitamin it’s not going to be

eliminated very easily it’s going to get

stuck in your fat cells and this is why

there’s some pretty major side effects

when you take synthetic fat-soluble

vitamins so if a mother is taking

synthetic vitamin a there’s a risk for

that child of having a birth defect

there’s some data on synthetic vitamin e

and premature death and then folic acid

which is different than the natural

version folate increasing your risk of

getting cancer then you have vitamin c

okay i’m talking about scorpic acid

there’s a study that i’ll put down below

that shows that it decreases the muscle

mitochondria biogenesis so you’re going

to make less mitochondria so you’re

going to have less training efficiency

but i will say that there’s also some

positive benefits

of

taking

synthetic vitamin c in the form of

ascorbate

injected

for cancer now i’m not recommending this

but there’s just some interesting data

to show that

it can help kill cancer cells because it

can turn into hydrogen peroxide in your

blood

and kill the cancer now again i’m not

telling you to do that i’m just showing

you that there is studies that show

there’s benefits of synthetic vitamins

but even folic acid in prenatals can

decrease the risk of getting neural tube

defects so that would be one benefit but

there’s side effects of increasing risk

for cancer so there’s pros and cons but

there’s way more pros when you do the

natural

whole food concentrates now with

synthetic vitamins

they add a lot of additional things in

there they’ll add additives

preservatives flavorings colorings so

let me just read you the ingredient list

on probably one of the most

popular highest selling synthetic

vitamins on the market

okay it has modified corn starch

i don’t know why they put modified corn

starch

in a vitamin maltodextrin which is sugar

polydextrose ascorbic acid vitamin a

acetate which is synthetic then they add

yellow six leg

as a coloring agent and then some of the

minerals are in oxide forms which

are not the best absorbed

minerals if possible you want the

plant-based minerals or minerals that

are absorbed a lot better then they add

calcium carbonate which is basically

rocks

and ascorbic acid now of course i’m not

biased in my own vitamins but i’ll show

you the

the vitamin c ingredients in mine

organic freeze-dried acerola cherry

fruit organic freeze-dried strawberry

fruit organic freeze-dried acai berry

fruit organic freeze-dried blueberry

fruit and let’s talk about my keto

energy product

vitamin a from carrots vitamin c from

blueberry cranberry

and strawberry

vitamin d from shiitake mushrooms

vitamin e from tomatoes vitamin k1 from

spinach

vitamin b2 from broccoli you see

especially with the b vitamins like

vitamin b1 b2

they make it from coal tar acetone and

ammonia versus the natural version can

come from garlic or nutritional yeast

vitamin b2 could be from holy basil

vitamin a could be from cod liver oil

but the problem with natural vitamins is

it’s more difficult to extract it’s more

expensive but you need a lot less of it

because it’s way more bioavailable and

it has a lot less side effects so i

think one way to identify synthetic

vitamins is to look at the rdas and the

back of the label and if it’s in very

high amounts

then you know it’s probably synthetic so

anyway i wanted to give you some basic

information about the difference between

synthetic and natural vitamins and if

you can go for the natural vitamins or

even better yet eat foods that are

nutrient dense now for more information

on foods that are nutrient dense
