Avoid in Your Vitamins!

Check out the inactive ingredient list of your vitamins. Does it resemble the label of a processed food? If so, it may not be ideal.

In the diagram above, I list things you want to check for in your vitamins that you should avoid.

👎 Colors and dyes like Red 40, Blue 2, and Yellow 6 should be avoided since some people are sensitive and it can affect mood, or even trigger headaches.

👎 Calcium Carbonate is a cheap form of calcium (similar to what is found in Tums) that is poorly absorbed and can deposit in the coronary arteries. Chelated calciums are preferred.

👎 Rather than Folic Acid, Methyl Folate is preferred since many people have the MTHFR gene mutation and can't process Folic Acid.

👎 B12: Avoid Cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin (Methyl B12) is preferred as it has a greater impact on mood, and works regardless of your MTHFR gene status.

👎 Magnesium Oxide is harsh on the gut and can affect absorption of other vitamins. Chelated Magnesiums are preferred.

👎 Titanium dioxide is found in sunscreen. You don't want to ingest that!

👎 Finally, BHT is a preservative.

Taking a high quality Multivitamin daily is a great way to keep your nutrient levels optimized, boost your mood, energy and immune system, and prevent diseases.
