Until a few years ago I was convinced vitamin supplements had their place for some people including pregnant women and people with health conditions but not for all of us. Now I have changed my mind. I think they have their place for all of us… I know…. big call!. Unfortunately we’re just not getting what we need from the food that is being produced as farming practices have changed and the soil quality just isn’t what it used to be. By the time the food reaches our tables it’s nutrient depleted!!! If I were to ask you how many oranges you would need to eat to get the same amount of vitamin A your grandparents got from 1 orange what would you say? 2, 4, 6….. would you believe 10! Isn’t that scary? So if all of us need supplements unless we have the benefit of living off the land with nutrient rich soils to grow our crops…… what supplements do we choose? Unfortunately for us over 95% of the supplements on the market are synthetic and unfortunately there is not a lot of regulation on the word “natural” which means a company can include it on the labelling when in fact the product does contain synthetics!! This is outrageous!!!! I have been searching for almost all my career that spans over 20 years for some decent supplements and a few months ago I became aware of a company that has a range of 100% plant-based real food supplements. If you’re interested in hearing more just leave a comment or email me – thegrandstanders@lightfm.com.au Stay tuned for some more interesting updates on supplements. In my next post I’ll explore how you can tell if your supplement is synthetic.
