Are you spending money taking vitamins and supplements, but don’t feel a difference in your health? 

This is a very common complaint for many people.  Usually the problem is that they are not taking the correct supplement/vitamin for their complaints, they are taking poor quality products, or they are taking products that have been produced in a laboratory which contain synthetic nutrients and are not getting the full benefits from them. 

How can you be sure you are taking the right product for your complaints?

Talk to your chiropractor, nutritionist, or naturopathic doctor.  These providers should be considered your health and wellness specialists.  They can thoroughly evaluate your condition and make an appropriate recommendation.  Do not take advice from someone who is not trained in nutrition and do not waste time trying all the products on the self.

How can you choose a better quality of product? 

Talk to your chiropractor, nutritionist, or naturopathic doctor.  They have likely spent time reviewing different products and by experience could recommend to you the best.  Typically it is better to buy product from a professional rather than from your drug store.  Make sure there is an expiration date, and don’t buy in bulk quantities. 

Why are whole food products better than synthetic, laboratory prepared products?

 In the laboratory the active ingredient of the vitamin can be isolated and recreated to put in vitamins.  The active ingredient is only part of what the body really needs to absorb and use the vitamin.  Vitamins created from a whole food source have several other components that the body needs to properly use the vitamin such as antioxidants, enzymes, minerals, etc…  If you are not taking a whole food source vitamin, you are not getting the necessary components for your body to maximally use the nutrition; therefore you will not feel the results.

 How do I know if my vitamins are synthetic and have been made in a laboratory? 

 The product should state, “Made from whole food sources.”  If the product claims to have over 100% of the daily-recommended value, for example 200% of vitamin C, then it must by synthetic.  No whole food source found in nature contains 200% of the daily-recommended value of Vitamin C.  If you are not certain, make sure to consult your health and wellness specialist.
