there are actually six things that most

people have no idea about vitamins I’m

going to share with you today number one

most Mega vitamin companies are owned by

either big Pharma chemical companies or

food manufacturing companies okay these

companies own the big Brands uh bear for

example owns one a day and bear just

bought up a Monsanto right Pfizer owns

Centrum and emergency which by the way I

used to take this a long time ago Clorox

owns ReNew Life and then we have Nestle

the chocolate company that owns Garden

of Life Puritan’s Pride pure Douglas

Laboratories wovenzyme solgar Nature’s

Bounty and quite a few others you know

sometimes I I’m criticized for having my

own line of vitamins and I always ask

the person would you rather buy your

vitamins from a drug company a chemical

company or a food manufacturing company

or maybe a marketer chances are they’re

not probably focused on getting

ingredients from soil that is really

really nutrient dense I mean one of our

products the wheatgrass juice powder I

flew out to the farm where they grow

this incredible product on a Thousand

Acre organic farm on an ancient sea bed

where the soil is so rich in trace

minerals versus using a chemical based

vitamin versus a food-based vitamin and

so even though some of these companies

have these very pure and standardized

ingredients and great manufacturing

practices the key is where do you get

these ingredients and is it possible to

know what individual is behind these

huge Brands to listen to their viewpoint

on these really key topics all right

number two 95 of all vitamin salt are

made

synthetically okay from chemical

companies that means they’re made from

petroleum they’re made from chemicals

coal tar they do not come from things

that are growing at all and maybe you’re

told that there’s no difference between

synthetic and natural vitamins they’re

the same molecule well there’s a huge

difference between that so-called

vitamin C ascorbic acid that you’re

buying versus vitamin C in nature with

all the different complexities it’s a

huge difference but when we’re talking

about synthetics we’re talking about

like ascorbic acid vitamin C B1 we’re

talking about vitamin E

beta-carotene which is a precursor to

vitamin A that could be made

synthetically all right number three

China is the largest exporter of vitamin

C and B1 in the world okay the problem

with that is they’re not too transparent

they don’t really tell you their

manufacturing processes and the

regulations are just a bit Shady all

right number four the vitamin studies

that you actually read about online and

you hear in the news that show that they

increase the risk of cancer and heart

disease

only use synthetic they do not use

food-based complexes they don’t use

natural vitamins okay so that’s just a

little Omission a little thing that they

don’t really tell you so then in your

mind in the medical professions mind

vitamins don’t really create any

difference well again what kind of

vitamins are you talking about you’re

talking about synthetic vitamins well

like I said before there’s a huge

difference now I’m not against synthetic

vitamins used in short-term type things

for maybe detoxes but other than that

you shouldn’t be taking a long term for

your maintenance or your health number

five whole food concentrates okay so

you’re taking this maybe like a beet

leaf extract or some other plant and

you’re concentrating it it could also be

a glandular tissue okay and that’s

called a whole food concentrate and then

if you look at the amounts of vitamins

or nutrients in a whole food concentrate

they’re much lower than synthetics

however

they’re more complete because you have

all the cofactors you have the all the

enzymes you have all the trace minerals

you don’t just have this synthetic

isolated fraction of a vitamin you have

the whole thing it’s definitely more

bioavailable and it’s definitely more

effective

even though it’s in smaller amounts if

you look at some of these uh

multivitamin mineral products and you

look at the amounts they have like 17

000 percent of the rdas etc etc

you know they’re using synthetic and

also if you look at the ingredients the

first one is usually calcium carbonate

so anytime you see the first ingredient

in calcium carbonate the majority of

that product is the calcium carbonate

that’s why it’s so heavy it’s like a

paperweight calcium carbonate is

limestone and you’d be better off

chewing on the cement right outside your

house because it’s really you’re eating

rocks it’s very very cheap it’s very

difficult to absorb you have to kind of

go through like 12 different steps

before it gets absorbed in your body all

right and number six

um medical doctors don’t get a lot of

training in vitamins they really only

get about 25 hours on average of

training in nutrition 25 hours is that

really enough

to have a grasp on all the vitamins to

be able to give advice to have an

opinion on it 25 hours you’re going to

be an expert in well they’re not experts

in it they’re experts in drugs and

surgery and other things but the point

is that this right here is just not

enough training to

be able to give a good opinion one way

or the other now I think it’s important

to understand what foods are the most

nutrient dense for that video check this
