So people who take ONLY vitamins will truly pee them out. We need to be ensuring that if you supplement, you are taking in products that are complete, or your body won't use them. I read about a lot of people supplementing with Vitamin D. They take a hundred million bajillion IU's a day. One of the co-factor minerals for your body to use Vit-D is Calcium. If you don;t get enough of it, your body will not use the Vit-D and it goes down the toilet.
Other people will supplement their calcium intake, but they are fearful of skin cancer so they avoid the sun at all costs and they don't supplement with a vitamin product. The body cannot use calcium without Vitamin D. People wonder why they hear about ostio-whatever, hearing about people having brittle frames even though they overload on Calcium. Oftentimes these people upwards in age and avoid the sun like vampires.
We need balance.
