How Are Vitamins Made
Do you know what’s in your vitamins? Or how they are made?
Just FYI – when you buy vitamins or any processed foods, you have no idea how they are made.
Take Vitamin C – most of it is made using ascorbic acid, which is made from cornstarch (no doubt GMO corn). I opt to eat citrus fruits.
Take Vitamin E – most of it is made from soy (which I avoid unless it’s fermented, and most likely it’s GMO soy). I opt for sunflower derived Vitamin E.
There are many more examples of the choices you can make in your vitamins and how they are made and with what.
Read the ingredients in your vitamins – preservatives, added vitamins, allergens, etc. If you see that there are extra ingredients that you have issues with, try a different brand. Be aware of extra added vitamins so you don’t end up taking too much of any vitamin. Some vitamins should be in limited doses, even though some just pee out if there is too much.
Try to get your vitamins from food – and check further before buying. You may overload on doses of some vitamins (or supplements), if they appear on ingredients lists of several you are taking. Don’t try to supplement when you don’t need to. A blood test from your doctor can help you find out what you are lacking before you waste money on something you don’t need… and cheapest is usually the worst…
Vitamins also add other ingredients and other vitamins to the mix – you may be overdosing on certain vitamins or supplements if you add up the amounts in your supplements.
