Are You Taking High Quality Supplements? Be Sure to Check Labels for These Dangerous Additives!
Most vitamins sold in department and grocery stores are vitamins in synthetic forms with a long list of unhealthy and toxic ingredients. Your supplements should be made from actual food! Your body will absorb and assimilate them better. Most cheap vitamins go right through your body and end up in the toilet! They do more harm to your body than good!
Common fillers in supplements:
BHT - This fat-soluble compound is used in jet fuels, rubber, petroleum products and embalming fluid. Research has linked BHT to bladder cancer, DNA damage, gastric and lung cancer.
Boric acid - This chemical is used as an antiseptic, insecticide and flame retardant. It is also connected to DNA damage.
Synthetic vitamin A - Capable of causing birth defects.
Cupric sulfate - This is used as an herbicide, fungicide and pesticide. Very irritating if ingested.
Stearic acid - Is a white, waxy, natural fatty acid found in some vegetables and animal fats. It is a major ingredient in soaps and lubricants. If prepared synthetically by hydrogenation of cottonseed and other oils, it contains pesticide residue. It is added as a lubricant and to hold tablets together.
Maltodextrin - This sugar is obtained by hydrolysis of starch. Used to add texture and as a flavor enhancer.
Modified maize starch - This filler is a derivative of corn that has been chemically altered to dissolve quickly and serves as a thickener. Most corn is GMO.
Sodium benzoate - Synthetic chemical used as a preservative. Can damage DNA.
Hydrogenated palm oil - Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen gas to liquid oils. Hydrogenation leads to trans fats which contribute to fat clogged arteries.
Potassium chloride - Colorless, odorless powder, used to improve fermentation. Small intestinal ulcers may occur with oral administration. Larger doses can cause gastrointestinal irritation, weakness and circulatory collapse.
There is an enormous difference between whole food supplements and synthetics. Ultimately you want to avoid synthetics and fillers. Look for high quality whole food organic supplements whenever possible. I sell a line that is organic, raw, and whole-foods based!
