We often get asked what our opinion is on certain supplements and food products. Our philosophy is very simple. We strongly advise against taking isolated nutrients i.e. Magnesium Citrate, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12, etc.. These are all lab made chemicals! They are poor attempts to replicate nutrients that are found in nature. Our bodies do not absorb and utilize these lab made supplements as they would the actual nutrient provided by nature. In nature, nutrients are ideally offered in combination with other beneficial nutrients. They work together and are provided in balance. Nutrients are to be provided by Nature. The addition of one such nutrient can disrupt the fine balance that is to be maintained in our bodies. In other words, taking a vitamin and not having its synergists present, will render the initial vitamin useless. Also, consuming too much of the said Vitamin can antagonize and offset the balance of other vitamins, minerals, and/or essential fatty acids in our system.
