10 Dangerous Vitamins: The Hidden Toxins in Your Supplements

Can you imagine holding your multivitamin in your morning, believing that this is a great health addictive. Imagine that these pill packs contain some underlying harm? Most popular supplements include inexpensive synthetic equivalents that do not only not benefit you, they hurt your organism. These are pushed by big companies especially since they are cheap to prepare and because they are associated with pharma giants and junk food makers who make profit at the expense of their users. It is necessary that you know what will happen to you to make an informed decision.

Synthetic Vitamin Forms: The Conversion Problem

Vitamin C in their active form depends on your body. Synthetic versions? They often don’t convert well. Its result is an accumulation of waste and actual health hazards. Three of the large offenders let us break down.

Synthetic Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate/Acetate) Dangers

Synthetic vitamin A is good to use, however, gets stuck in liver and fat cells. Its conversion to the useful form is poor, therefore toxins get accumulated very quickly. In the case of pregnant women, this increases the risks of birth defects. It also prevents vitamin D and K2 that may make bones weak and increase the risk of fractures.

Check labels of retinol palmitate or acetate–they scream synthetic. They hide in skin lotions too. They are exposed to sunlight, and the boom, the risk of cancer shot it up as a result of the UV exposure. Skip the fakes.

Eat natural sources such as egg yolks, liver and cod liver oil. These sustain your sinuses, lungs, eyes and immune system without the poison.

Synthetic Beta-Carotene and Prevention of Lung cancer

Beta-carotene is not vitamin A, although people confuse the two. Carrots are a good source of natural beta-carotene, though you would have to eat tons of it to meet nutritional requirements on a daily basis. Makers drag synthetic stuff out of coal tar or petroleum–yuck.

Big studies show trouble. The incidence of lung cancer increased 18 percent in smokers receiving synthetic beta-carotene. Why smokers? They are the first targets given the fact that they have lungs that are already beating. The counterfeit version appears to stimulate the development of cancer cells whereas the natural source of beta-carotene protects you.

Avoid it, especially when you smoke or have problems with the lungs. Instead, get your share of carotene (betacarotene) in vegetable form (such as carrots or sweet potatoes).

Folic Acid vs. Natural Folate (Vitamin B9)

The folic acid is the synthetic substitute of B9. The kind of folate that your body desires is the active one. Approximately a third or a fourth of the population also has a form of tweak in the MTHFR gene that inhibits conversion. That is, folic acid accumulates in your blood.

Accumulation is associated with increased risk on cancer and a depleted immune system. You may be feeling bad–fatigued, drowsy, dissociate it with demonstrated supplements or fortified foods. You can test your genes; that indicates the problem.

Search folate on label, but not folic acid. Blast spinach or kale in lieu of artificial folate. Your cells will thank you.

The Toxicology of Chemistry: Cyanide, Rocks and Rust in Supplements

optimistic supplement chunks direct without dedication to poisons. As cheap fillers they creep in. Your body is struggling to cope with them, which causes massive issues in the future.

Glutathione Deletion and Cyanocobalamin (Synthetic B12)

Cyanocobalamin has a cyanide lash–there is the “cyano”? It is artificial B12, much less helpful as compared to methylcobalamin. The natural form is longer-lasting and it is more absorbent.

Your body requires the aid of glutathione, one of the most important damage fighters, to make it active. Excess synthetic B12 depletes such supplies. This is especially dangerous to a smoker; cigarettes provide the cyanide factor and bad detox genes only compound the matter.

I have detox snags in head-on collisions with DNA tests–they stay off this stuff. Get B12 from steak or liver. It’s simple and safe.

Calcium Carbonate: Worthless, Bulky, and Clogs the Arteries

Take an unwrapped bottle of well-known calcium pills–heavy as a rock. This is because it is filled predominantly by calcium carbonate or chalk. It is not well absorbed by your body so it is discarded in small portions in your arteries or kidneys.

Better yet, it is associated with heart attack. Nature does not chuck calcium on its own, it combines with other nutrients. Its storage is quite easy and spells trouble among men and post menopausal women.

Strive to get a mathematical equality of magnesium to magnesium; disregard timeworn doctrines 10 times more calcium. Take it off cheese, yogurt or kefir or greens such as broccoli. Balance keeps things smooth.

Ferrous Sulfate (Iron): The Poisonous Mineral

Supplements contain iron such as ferrous sulfate which has the effect of rust-harsh and sticky. There is no good means of vitreating excess in your body, other than females losing blood or donations. Men and older women? It’s a bigger threat.

Hemochromatosis is found within one in 200 to 300 individuals where iron accumulates even greater. Excess of type 2 diabetes, liver damage, Parkinson, or Alzheimer is dangerous. Enriched grains and iron pans are contributing to the weight.

Get rid of iron pills, breads that are enriched. If anemic, eat liver or beef. Food iron won’t overload you.

Lack Of Good Absorption, and Mineral Imbalance: When To Be Cheap Is To Be Useless.
Inexpensive imitations pass as an offer, yet they fail. Low uptake implies lack of gains at the price of side effects. Imbalances hit hard too.

Magnesium Oxide: The Diarrheum Medicine

Sleep and stress Magnesium is important. But oxide? It absorbs just 3%. A 500 mg pill provides perhaps 20mg -silk in peanuts.

Raise the dosage, and the diarrhea strikes. It jerks water to your stomach clearing out electrolytes. You end up worse off.

Prescription magnesium glycitate -80-85% absorption, does not run. You will sleep better, relax spasms and also be zippier.

Ergocalciferol ( Synthetic Vitamin D2 ) Unresponsiveness

Vitamin D2 results when zapping yeast or fungus with UV light. It is less powerful than D3 of an animal origin or sun. Delay in the conversion into the active form occurs.

One of the proteins carries D to your liver and kidneys. D2 is loosely bound, the effect is lost. D2 pills are usually sold under pressure by Docs because natural D3 can not be patented.

Low D is injurious to immunity, bones and mood–you are sore or depressed. Get sun or D3 supplements. It’s vital.

Supplement of unbalanced Omega-6 Fats (Linoleic acid)

Linoleic acid? 12- it happens to be omega-6. Pass. We are already submerged in it in seed oils. Optimal ratio to omega-3 is 1:1, yet Americans are reaching 25: 1.

Too much omega-6 will inflame it, omega-3 will sooth it. These oils are up to 30% of calories- pure inflammation.

Skip added omega-6. Balance is provided by fish, cod liver oil or grass-fed beef. Your heart and joints will be beefier.

Copper: Encephalopathy and Copper overload

The traces of copper are forfeit, cheaply high doses, however? Toxic overload. To keep one in harmony with the other keep zinc in 10 times up to copper amounts.

Too much leaks copper off of helper to hurt–sparks oxidation, brain swelling, even Alzheimer plagues. It is like aluminum in that sense accumulating in liver and in mind.

Contribution in oysters, liver or dark chocolate. Combine with zinc, other minerals. Don’t go solo.

Conclusion: Prioritizing Real Food Over Chemical Fillers

There is health insurance in the form of supplements which most of the time bring toxins as a business. Artificial vitamins keep on accumulating without benefiture, and even other forms, such as carbonate or sulfate congest your body. We have discussed 10 to avoid: fake vitamin A, and copper overloads.

Rule of thumb–escape synthetic and acid and oxide. Natural folate instead of folic acid, glycinate instead of magnesium, D3 instead of vitamin D: real food always.

Scane your label of choice on the multivitamin. Toss the risky ones. Welcome whole foods–you will feel it. To see more about the type of magnesium, see my guide which is here. Your body deserves better.
