If you want to get the most out of your vitamins, we need to consider nutrient synergy. Because if you’re not pairing them right, you might be wasting your time and your money. So, let’s fix that. Nutrient synergy just means that some vitamins and minerals work way better as a team and they make each other stronger. So, without the right pairings, you might be taking supplements that your body can’t even use effectively. The first nutrient synergy pairing is vitamin D and calcium. Vitamin D is like a key that unlocks calcium so that your gut can actually absorb it. So, if you’re taking calcium, make sure that you’re also getting plenty of vitamin D. The second pairing that we have is iron and vitamin C. Plant-based irons can sometimes be tough to absorb on their own, but when you add vitamin C, like squeezing lemon juice on spinach, your body can actually use it. The third one is magnesium and B6. These two are like the ultimate chill combo. They’re going to work together to support your nervous system and can even help take the edge off of PMS. Number four, we have omega-3s and vitamin E. Omega-3s are more delicate. They can break down before your body even gets to use them. This is why we keep them in the fridge. Vitamin E can act like a shield, protecting those fats so that they can do their anti-inflammatory magic. So, it’s not always about taking more supplements. Sometimes it’s just about taking the right combos. Whole Foods already packages these nutrients together. But, if you’re supplementing and you’re taking them individually, we need to flip the label and see what’s paired up. Make sure to save this for your next grocery run.
