Vitamins and Supplements: Magic Pills - the fifth estate

As many as three out of four Canadians use natural health products. From herbal remedies to minerals, vitamins and other supplements, it’s a billion dollar industry that includes everyone from Big Pharma to Mom and Pop operations. They're products packed with promises, but what’s actually in the bottle? Could we be taking too much? And could they actually be harmful to your health?

    Reject processed foods and predominately eat whole foods plant based. In the winter, eat frozen fruits and veg or Canadian brown root vegetables and brassicas like cabbage and kale when price or availability is an issue. Frozen also got me through the pandemic when I only went to the store once a month. That being said, in Canada if you don’t go outside, vitamin d still needs to be considered, just not in the mega amounts often offered.

I got positive out come with high power (7000 iu d3 +k2). If we get sunlight our skin creat 20,000 iu d. So lil bit high dose of d3 with k2 is not a problem. However, if you got cold and flue take high dose C . With in two days ..you will be clear. D, k2, zink, C and magnesium this safe me from Australian flue. It’s my personal experience.

Yet most doctors recommend all their older patients take a B12 supplement, without bothering to identify a problem first.

    Before taking supplements, thoroughly examine your diet and its nutritional content. That way, you can rule out what you absolutely do NOT need to ingest more of. My diet for example, is pretty low in magnesium. So I know that I need to compensate for that - either by adjusting my diet or taking (an appropriately proportioned) supplement.

    I was taught that consumption doesn't equal absorption. Nobody's body absorbs 100% of the nutrients you consume, especially if you're naturally thin. That is why they put up to 10x the daily recommended IU level of vitamins in supplements. If most of it is going to end up in the toilet then you would need to over consume to absorb the desired amount. I learned this in a nutrition class in a culinary school, would love to get someone's 2 cents on it as I have never been challenged on this opinion before. Am i right/wrong? Thanks.

    Something I've heard (or read) is that foods today don't have the same level of nutrients they had 60-70 years ago, because the soil is overused (for lack of a better word). So, that is why we would need to eat so much more vegetables or fruit to equal what one fruit gave us 60-70 years ago. Hence the need for vitamins to supplement our diet, since we cannot eat the quantities of food needed to get our daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.

    When the health official stated that he had a harder time taking on the supplement industry than big tobacco 😳. I have wisened up significantly now, however, at one point I spent a small fortune on seeing naturopaths and taking bucket loads of highly expensive supplements for chronic ailments. Perhaps I was fortunate to only lose money and waste my time. Dr Harriet Hall has an excellent series on debunking the anti-scientific elements of the wellness industry.

This seems reasonable by the interviewer, however I have read thousands of research articles and have found many to be bogus, insofar as the research was done using ineffective quantities therefore resulting in conclusions of ineffectiveness. If research was to be genuine, it should be done using dosages utilized by real doctors, one as mentioned Linus Pauling, but also Robert Cathcart, Abram Hoffer, Jorge Fletchas, David Brownstein for starters

    But cantaloupe is not the most vitamin c intense fruit. He should have used kiwi. 1 person can easily eat 5 kiwis...which would make 350mg of vit.c, so maybe the pill could be divided into 2 or 3 for daily use (if the person is eating fast food all day). But when someone is sick, doctors recommend 1000mg per day. Excess vit.c is taken out of the body with urine anyway.
