Thanks for the video, very informative.

I also experience more strength and recovery from fitness activities after starting the multivitamins. I agree that gaining the nutrients naturally is better but this isn’t always possible

A while back I read an article which says vit. C's half-life in human body is about 3.5 hours. Also, taking 400mg of vit. C at a time is pretty much a saturation point for blood concentration, taking any amount more than that will only increase blood concentration a tiny little bit. Only way to greatly increase blood concentration level of vit. C is by IV. So, taking 1000mg a time is a waste unless it's time-released form. Personally I take 500mg 3 times a day.

It's all misleading. What are called "supplements" don't really do what people have been led to believe, and instead they are useless since they are not a whole food, and consequently they produce a toxic burden on the body. The idea that "supplements" can make up for a deficiency in our foods is not viable. It's a huge business that preys off our fears much resembling Big Farma tactics. Just look at protein powder as just one example of the scam. It's highly processed and does not support health. Nobody is suffering from a protein deficiency in the US, yet the protein hype has worked to sell these powders for 50 years.

[@eonarts]

I started taking Berberine for my glucose levels. A friend of mine’s doc recommended he start taking it after he gave him a script for these fancy blood monitoring patches. He could see how carbs affected his blood sugar, then he started taking the berberine. He started to slowly loose weight and gain control of his blood sugar. He still has to be on meds but lower dose ones. My last blood panel showed my glucose was really high (it was a no fasting test) and I’ve been pre diabetic for a long time. Plus my weight was going up. I haven’t eaten sugar, wheat, rice for over 23 years! My appetite is always fairly low and if I’m not careful I’ll skip meals. I should not be over weight, but I’m more concerned with my blood sugar. I am almost 69 and I’m not on any meds. I do take supplements so it was easy to add berberine. I can no longer skip meals as my blood sugar drops so that’s nice. I did get Covid in the beginning and dropped a lot of weight (10 lbs) but since then I’ve been slowly dropping weight (maybe 2 lbs/month). I did have to do my blood panel a week after I started berberine and my glucose dropped from 200 to 90! My goal is staying off medications! The weight loss is a nice perk but it’s not fast waste loss which I think is better and easier for the body.

Get bioavailable calcium from foods like dark leafy greens and small fish like sardines or anchovies.* 01:54 💊 *Multivitamins were based on outdated standards. Minimum daily requirements may not meet actual health needs. Research suggests higher vitamin D levels are beneficial.* 04:15 🍊 *Vitamin C is essential but should be taken continuously for benefits. Consider time-release or multiple doses for consistent exposure.* 07:06 💧 *Ketone drinks are expensive and taste bad. Opt for MCT oil for a more affordable and palatable way to produce ketones.* 09:16 🧪 *Vitamin E supplements vary in effectiveness; some may cancel out others' benefits.

May i remark: if you want to follow the example known from the Mediterranian, make sure to go preferably for sardines with SKIN & BONES because they contain more calcium. Otherwise, your choice of fish, anchovies or sardines are pretty much the same - but keep in mind that both also contain omega 3 fats, vitamins D3 and K2, which are also benificial. I rather doubt nutrient suppliments for calcium contain the right nutrients like vitamin D3 and K2 as the fish do, which are probably essential to the bioavailability of getting the calcium to where it is needed.

As a terminal cancer survivor who healed by natural means, I strongly disagree with this list, especially vit c. I followed Maggie McGee Protocol to heal from cancer. I took liposomal vitamin C along with a plethora of other nutrients, as well as hom made concoctions.

[@opo3628]

Seriously. I really don't know why it's the "kool kid" thing to do with these "health professionals" nowadays to demonize Vitamin C.

[@xcom432]

Didn't you see the video? He never said that you should not take vitamin C, he simply explained that a low dose once a day is of no use, and that larger doses are required, that it is absorbed slowly, he mentions that he takes doses of 1000 and that it is slowly absorbed, before commenting pay attention to the information.

My fathers girlfriend got cancer and did the natural cure and went to a holistic doctor , She died 8 months later. she refused all cancer treatments from the doctors because she believed in the witch doctor. The verdict is , you can't draw conclusions from one off observations. You need to do studies with thousands of people.

I was all ready to disagree with him on Ketone drinks but what he says makes sense lol I’m still buying my Ketone IQ because I enjoy it and oddly enough I actually do like the taste, but I will keep MCT oil in supply as a backup. So thank you Doc.

[@dawhtayhtay7340]

Thanks a lot par Doctor.

[@4UStevePerry]

my mother, daughter and myself have been anemic for years. The only remedy that helps us was iron. How can you say that? Since mom and i are post menopausal we don't take it anymore. But my daughter is in her twenties and I see the difference when she doesn't take it. My doctor now has me on D2 to help with B12

For years I have been taking natural vitamin E, d-alpha tocopherol 400 IU and a base of mixed tocopherols. So what is wrong with that? Also synthetic pure ascorbic acid does not have nearly the same biological activity as naturally occurring vitamin C complex with bioflavonoids. This is why I am taking standardized acerola extract capsules instead.

[@kelbell275]

I don’t sleep properly so I swear by a multivitamin. I take collagen, magnesium and red krill oil. I’ve never felt better at 48.

Which brand of multivitamin do you take

[@Skyy621]

Thank you for letting me know about Dr. Obalar Herbal Cure!!!

[@michelehowe6853]

Thank you for your time and video. Very valuable information that is much needed in this overwhelming industry of supplements. I 5:13 take NaturaLife Labs 70 Billion Probiotic + prebiotic + Postbiotic. Reading the label it has NGprobiome guard against stomach acid. Looking probiome up, it is an enteric coating. My question is, is that sufficient or are there specific types of enteric coating to look for? Had I not looked up the big word I would not realize it had an enteric coating. Also, is pro + pre + post overkill?

Please reconsider tocotrienol, excluding all tocopherol, especially for recovery from stroke episodes.

So glad none of these are supplements that I take. I do eat sardines and anchovies. And I use coconut oil and other high mct foods. Cool reassuring video. Thanks.

How does time-released vitamin C actually work? Also, many of the (time-released or not) vitamin C supplements online contain isolated ascorbic acid (not food sourced with bioflavonoids), synthetics, stearates, etc. It pays to look at the back labels before buying.

In every grocery store in US there are two isles for vitamins and two isles for chips.

Buy your vitamins from a health food store or a reputable online dealer. Grocery stores are for groceries and no one who works there knows anything about vitamins.

I put a big teaspoon of vitamin C and a biggish pinch of magnesium chloride, potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate in a litre of my daily water. I can taste it but its not strong like lemonade. Hope I am doing the right thing.

I have been taking a daily multi vitamin since I was twelve. My hair was coming out by the handful. The doctor put me on it. Not only did it stop my hair loss, but cleared up brain fog. If I stop taking the multi vitamins, my hair will start coming out.

He did say to follow your doctor's orders. This would be for people who don't have an MD telling them what supplements to take, which kind, what dose, etc.

[@lawally127]

@byrdma12 The danger with taking multivitamins for a long time is that while you may be insufficient in some of the vitamins included, you may be taking too much of some others and become overdosed. So it's best to do a blood test on all the vitamins you have been taking so far and take only those that you really need as separate pills.

[@byrdma12]

@@lawally127 my doctor is o.k. With it. He does check my levels.

Probiotics: the inexpensive probiotics consists of mostly various lacto bacteria. And unless your diet consists primarily of milk products, which contain lactose. Yogurt already has the lactose broken down by the lacto-bacteria, in becoming yogurt. Same for most cheeses.

Is there any difference between liposomal L-Threonate and normal L-Threonate? I take L-Threonate from a brand called life extension, but it doesn't help me as much as you described it helps you

Thx Doc

[@eliassatyananda9580]

If you combine vitamin C, for example as Sodium Ascorbate, with pycnogenol (grape seed extract), the vitamin C stays present and active in your body for about 12 hours instead of being broken down within 3-4 hours.

[@freeto9139]

Very good to know! Thank you ❤ So glad I kept reading comments; because, I was inclined to quit, as some were so ridiculously lame!

Thanks for this video. I take magnesium daily, because I work out 5 days a week. I believe that it helps me recover and prevents soreness.
