Learn Why Daily Vitamin Supplements Must Be All Natural, 100% Plant Source!
The American Medical Association has recommended all adults take daily vitamin supplements. This recommendation is based on the knowledge that our food is significantly deficient in essential nutrients necessary for health. Most of us intuitively know all natural supplements are superior, however, the reasons why are compelling! 100% plant source, all natural vitamin supplements are the only ones we know will not cause harm! A majority of daily vitamin supplements have ground rock and mineral salts. Your body is not designed to eat dirt. The reason we supplement is because our plants are not grown in such a way to be able to get from the dirt the nutrients necessary for health. Us eating the dirt is not the answer. We need to eat vegetables, whole grains, and fruits that are grown in ideal conditions. However we also need to take all natural supplements that are from plants that have abundant amounts of the VITAL nutrients we need. An even more ALARMING fact is that a significant majority of the supplements available have synthetic ingredients. Check for yourself. Look at the ingredient label of a multi-vitamin container. Next to Vitamin C does it have ascorbic acid? That is a synthetic ingredient. Have you ever wondered why when you take Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid is does not help you get over your cold? It is because Ascorbic acid does very little for the immune system. It is only the natural plant source of vitamin C that actually improves immune function. This is one of the reasons research on the effectiveness of vitamins comes back negative, because often the vitamin tested is synthetic. Many of the synthetic ingredients in daily vitamin supplements are a petroleum by-product! I find it hard to imagine that anyone when looking at these facts would come to the conclusion that their body is not quite optimal because it needs more petroleum! I mean, we may feel we are running out of gas, but REALLY! Seriously, we must consider that everything we ingest, or put into our bodies, has to be metabolized and detoxified by the liver, then eliminated or stored in the body as fat. We have so much unavoidable exposure to toxins in our environment that it just makes good sense to do ALL we can to reduce the toxic load when possible. Not to mention the reason we take a daily vitamin supplement is to improve our health. We want to take natural vitamin supplements that will actually do that, not make it worse! There is one other point I would like to make. Some companies are realizing people want plant based daily vitamin supplements, so they add a little parsley or some other inexpensive plant to their synthetic ingredients, ground rocks, and mineral salts. Then on the label they say it has plant material in it. The way to tell for sure is after each and every ingredient, if it is plant source, it will have the actual plant the nutrient was derived from. Rest assured, the product I like is 100% plant source.
