2 ways to potentially up your daily vitamin game:
1. Check to see if the B-12 in your daily vitamin is cyanocobalmain. If it is, switch to methylcobalmain.
Why: cyanocobalmain is common in daily vitamins but when it breaks down, it forms tiny amounts of cyanide. The FDA says its too small a dose to make a difference. But I say anything you take daily shouldn’t have any cyanide in it at all.
2. Check to see if the daily vitamin says “Folic Acid.” Unless you know whether you have a mild methylation gene defect, you don’t know whether you can properly absorb or use folic acid fortified foods (wheat, white rice, milk etc.). If you’re not sure, why not switch to supplements which provide ‘folate’ instead of folic acid?
Yes, plus anti-oxidants.

Green tea extract (EGCG)
Grape seed extract

we’re all gonna die. Run for the hills!
So I'm going to die whether I take multivitamins or not? That scuppers my long-term plans.
But the Big Supplement is saying, don’t take those pharmaceuticals, take our supplements!
You should have a healthy scepticism of both. Companies lie and they also make mistakes. I’m not saying don’t take anything but big supplement is just as suspect to me as big pharma
