I get the following inquiries rather frequently: "Are manufactured vitamins harmful?" "How much is excessive?" What harm can too many (or much) vitamins cause? These queries will be addressed in this post.

Vitamins are organic substances, which implies they contain carbon. Vitamins are impossible to replicate in a lab. Today's vitamins are either synthetic or crystalline-pure components of vitamin complexes that are sold to the general public. Natural or synthetic, a portion of a vitamin can only have a drug-like impact in the body, which is a stimulatory effect and not a physiological or therapeutic benefit. By causing a metabolic imbalance, vitamin supplements can significantly damage even the most vital body activities. This is why:

Only through working together as a "complex functional mechanism" rather than as a single chemical impact can vitamins be efficient in the body's cells. Ascorbic acid, for instance, is advertised as vitamin C in supplement form even though it is not the real complex vitamin C that is present in foods today. The complex vitamin C is made up of numerous components, including ascorbic acid. By mixing sulfuric acid with corn syrup, ascorbic acid can be produced at a low cost in laboratories. Removing ascorbic acid from the vitamin C complex and referring to this one element as the "true vitamin" is absurd.
Simply said, a vitamin supplement is not the entire thing. It's merely a piece. A vitamin supplement omits a lot of other nutrients, some of which may be little in terms of proportion but are nonetheless important. When we take supplements, it's similar to quoting something out of context; you might get the entire benefit, but it's more probable that what you get is skewed and doesn't represent the whole story.
Picking and picking the nutrients you believe your body need is, at best, risky. Because humans are meant to function as a complete, we ought to consume our nutrients as a whole as well.

In fact, if you consume enough supplements in a certain nutritional form, you can develop symptoms of that or other nutrient insufficiency. To maintain normal blood levels of vitamin E, for instance, if you take a vitamin E supplement, you must also take the mineral zinc. However, taking too much zinc can prevent your body from absorbing copper and selenium. Similar to how too much vitamin C can prevent your body from absorbing selenium, too much vitamin C can likewise do this.
For vitamins to work in the body, minerals are required. Starting the risky game of picking and choosing which specific vitamins and minerals to consume can result in a severe chemical imbalance in your body. The vitamins and minerals present in entire foods are more suitable for human metabolism than the isolated vitamins and minerals sold as supplements. These inorganic supplements are difficult for our bodies to digest.

Bee pollen, wheat grass, blue-green algae, wheat sprouts, and other food-derived supplements are currently the best source of supplements. These supplements provide us with all the components our bodies need to function properly. When ingested in an isolated form, nutrients cannot function properly in the body. Together, all nutrients maintain and promote health. If we want to learn from nature's lessons, she has always been the best teacher and the best producer (supplier) of our nourishment. "Natural law" is understood by the body. Give it the complete spectrum of healthy foods and whole food supplements, and it will know how to achieve optimum health and vitality on its own.
