My candidate-mother-in-law (as she likes to call herself) says artificial vitamins are bad. Vitamins and minerals in the form of pills get fully absorbed by the body, even if they are not needed in such big quantities at the moment.
Examples:
If you bring more calcium in the body it can subside in kydneys in the form of sand-particles.
If you bring more vitamin D into the body, the body starts to pull out calcium from the bones and sends it to the kidneys and to the heart-muscle.
She's a pediatrician and а homoeopath and feeds us (my girlfriend and me) with blue-green-algae additives, because they contain all the stuff in it's natural form, so the organism can take whatever it needs out of it and excrete the rest.
Her supplier of choice is AquaSource (a multi-level-marketing company), but there are many other companies that offer similar stuff.
Sorry for my ("medical") english, had a gard time translating it from my native language.
- dalore 16y agoI got told me quite the opposite, from people with actual medical degrees. That multivitamin supplements aren't all that useful since the body tends to not absorb much of it and excretes it. It's better to get the vitamins from your food. If vitamins get fully absorbed why is my piss bright green when I take a multivitamin?
- hga 16y agoHave you tried to take the vitamin with food? Me, I split my "One A Day" type vitamin/mineral pill into two and take one half with breakfast and lunch. I avoid dinner for minerals to give any excess the best chance of getting excreted during the day when I'm pushing a lot more water though my kidneys. As for your problem ... are you sure that's not just some dye in the pill? I don't know of anything that would be "bright green" that you'd likely be taking.
- dalore 16y agoI've tried various vitamin pills in different countries. All the same. Now I just eat lots of different fruit. No more supplements unless my doctor prescribes.
