Supplements and Vitamins

In a much earlier post I touched on the topic of supplements and vitamins and that all are not created equal. We have learned through research that most contain an ingredient that in high quantities (taking several different ones a day) can be harmful. The ingredients is called Magnesium Stearate, I'm even skeptical when it comes to vegetable based forms. It is used in mass production to lube the machine so it can produce high quantities of pills. Doesn't sound healthy to digest this chemical to me. If you look hard enough you will find brands that don't contain this ingredients. Like with food, you should look on the ingredients list to find the best one you can for yourself, otherwise what is the point? I recently had a lot of blood work done for a annual physical and have found that my mineral intake is optimal. With plenty of healthy food and a few key supplements I'm doing pretty good these days. I forgot to note that I usually don't follow the supplements recommended dose. I only take one a day of each one I take. Being as my numbers were good, I guess my diet is so that I don't require a lot of extra supplements. A few of the brands that we like are pictured above.
