Natural vs. Synthetic Nutritional Supplements Resource Website

I have communicated lately regarding the significance of the differences between whole food and synthetic ingredient supplements, and some of the potential negative health consequences of the synthetic vitamin / mineral complexes which make up the majority of products available (even in the health food stores!)

Just one example would be Folic Acid, a synthetic version of folate which is added into foods foods such as cereals and flour (due to a genetic mutation in approximately 50 % of the general population, people with this mutation cannot process folic acid through numerous steps into a more bioavailable form in the body which has been shown to impair the function of an important component of the immune system: Natural Killer Cells which has been documented in published studies to increase the rate of cancer development, especially colorectal cancer).

Another different concern that has recently come to light through published research (here is a link to a CBC News article on this topic) is that even here in Canada we cannot totally trust that the contents listed on a label of supplements are what is actually in the bottle - and there may be other ingredients and fillers used which are not listed on the bottle (it reinforces for me my opinion that I am not that impressed with many brands of supplements on the market: there are a few but not many).

I feel strongly about sharing this information because I know that many people really do want to try to optimize their quality of life and it can be difficult to try to determine what to take - and whether in fact it is actually providing benefit: or is often the case, it may be a waste of money or actually doing more harm than good...

Here is the link if you have an interest in reading up more (or by watching some YouTube videos) on this important topic...

This whole topic is not without controversy, however I feel strongly in my position on this topic.

In another post, I will provide you with some information on what I consider to be the best brands available in the retail market...
