Multi Vitamins / Daily Vitamins

[joboo]

Spent a few hours looking around looking for natural source vitamins and came across this list. Interesting list of ingredients compared to the pharmaceutical lab grade stuff on the market. Especially the Xtendlife premium.

The top 8 price compared:

Alot of "cheap" vitamins are just that "cheap". I wish I had the money to switch my vita min brands. THis company here has some good ones apparently without the toxic binders and fillers.

Stay away from all synthetic vitamins. You won't absorb much of them unless they are organic. I personally recommend these:

Good luck finding something that has higher quality and is cheaper. It's only 29 cents a day if you take 3 a day as directed. Plus it has a lot of beneficial supplements on top of the vitamins/minerals.

Sorry if I push Swanson a lot, but their products really changed my life. I went from $25 a day Big-Pharma drugs + $6,000 a year in hospital visits/insurance to only $2 a day of supplements/no hospital visits/no insurance. I have not been sick once since (hopefully won't jinx it!) Total game changer, and I've never felt healthier or have any health problems. That's a 95.2% savings.

Lots of "vitamin" manufacturers are owned by big pharmaceutical companies & are made from things like sewer sludge & toxic animal parts. ( Shaklee is one on that list)

Shami, love, you're post is an oxymoron. You said not to buy any synthenic vitamins & don't buy any unless they're organic and then you went & posted an inorganic synthetic "vitamin".

Your body is a natural being. You were not made in a laboratory. The only kind of whole food supplement that your body can assimilate is one that 100 % natural wholesome food.
Your body absorbs vitamins but does NOT assimilate them properly.
Once you take and isolate an ingredient out of a food & turn it into a "vitamin" you have changed it, ruined it & it's no good anymore.

Vitamins are junk. Stay away from junk. Herbs are real. Wholesome. Natural. Organic. Not manufactured & cooked in a lab somewhere.
Put live nutrients in your body, get good life......put dead nutrients in your body..... you get the picture !

All the "other added ingredients" are worse than you could possibly know. YUCK !

Old Herb Lady, My dad has been a health food/vitamin spastic pretty much for all my life... I stopped taking all vitamins about 4 years ago... after getting away from his influence and developing my own. Before that my skin smelled like vitamins... Everything he takes is bottled or packaged.

I know it is food, water & exercise (sweat) that keeps us healthy... not vitamin compounds. My mom explained rose hips to me the other day from our roses. We ate some & I am thinking about drying some. I'm just only learning about herbs. My mom looked over my yard and says it is full of herbs, growing wildly, I've been chopping them down with the weedwacker. I feel bad that I have not studied them, it is difficult to start new things, I am taking a outdoor survival course with my sister to learn a little more. I think I will devote an area of the yard for these herbs my mom has identified, and let them grow. I guess it's a start??

The problem with food today is that the soil is devoid of so many of the trace elements, and food for a lot of people is weeks old, so the nutritional value has dropped off a fair amount on top of the soil issue.

I ended up ordering this to try it out.

BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Uhhhhhhhhhh. Oh I love u Ximmy .

It's a wonderful start !! I just taught some 80 year olds about red clovers & elderberries last month.

It's never ever too late to start. Even if somebody has absolutely no ambition to want to go foraging for them, they can still buy any herb they want
through organic suppliers who grow them & carefully harvest them .

I am so excited for you !

Everybody's yard is loaded with herbs unless their grass is dead or their yard is sprayed.

Peterson's Field Guide is good too !

What are you talking about ? I'm talking about if you order from an herb company that grows their herbs in nutrient rich soil then your going to get
a wholesome "supplement" without ANYTHING ADDED TO IT.


I am so sorry you wasted fitty bucks like that !!!!!! OMG.

I posted a link to show you what kind of whole food supplement is supposed to be for your DAILY MULTI that you were inquiring about in your original post.

I'm not sure I agree with your assessment. The nutritional profile is more than what any herb can provide. It includes a bunch of herbs, and a lot more. did you look at it?
