bullshit. almost all americans test deficient in both magnesium and vitamin d.
also as people get older, they produce less stomach acid and less digestive enzymes, contributing to B-12 deficiency and general lack of nutrition respectively.
I can tell a big difference in how i feel when i take large doses of d, folic acid, a good B vit mix, vit c and a good mag supplement, as well as digestive enzymes.
I work changing shifts and keep myself alert and asleep at appropriate times by taking B12 sublinguals about two hours after I get to work.
That's true.
Interesting that they just talk about vitamins. What about minerals? Magnesium, manganese, calcium, potassium, et al
I started taking vitamin D and I stopped getting colds.
sounds like we are taking the same stuff. I got tested years ago for deficiency and found I had bunches, Folic Acid did WONDERS, now my insulin works twice as good (I use half the units I used to, my basal rates are at half, as are my bolus injections).
I also take fish oil, and from the fish oil I’ve been able to get off the cholesterol medications. My doctor said that is not unusual (I was over 400 before, now i’m below 200, not great but not bad for someone my weight, and age)
Vitamins help my skin, I use an insulin pump, and I used to get rashes where the insert-er and monitor are plugged into me, started on B & D after reading some articles and my skin is 20 years younger and no more rashes.
For years I had horrible heartburn and took meds for it, then my wife heard a yogurt a day will bring back enzymes. BINGO. I eat one plain yogurt with a dollop of jelly in it (yeah, I’m bad I know), and I haven’t had heartburn for years, I can even eat habenero’s again.
I think this is a big pharma pushed article.
