Let's talk about dietary supplements!
Recently, I’ve been deep diving into supplements so you don’t have to!
There is so much more to vitamins, and our own biology, then I ever realized. I used to think all vitamins were the same but the more I research, the more I realize how much money I've wasted on supermarket bought vitamins in the past.
Not only are the supplements and vitamins you buy at the supermarket or drug store full of fillers and synthetic compounds, they're also not methylated.
What is methylation?
I'm glad you asked because this is what I have been looking into!
When we get crude oil out of the ground, we never put it in a car. We take it to a refinery, turn it into gasoline, and put that in a car.
The same thing applies to vitamins. When you ingest a vitamin, your body has to break it down into a form that your cells can use.
This process is called methylation.
But did you know that because of our human biology, we may not be able to methylate certain vitamins?
Take vitamin B12 for example. The naturally methylated form of vitamin B12 is called Methylcobalamin.
If you have a B12 deficiency and take B12 as a supplement, but your biology doesn't allow you to methylate B12, you will always have a vitamin B12 deficiency. However, if you take B12 methylcobamine, your body will be able to fully utilize this vitamin and you will thrive.
(The effects of vitamin deficiencies deserves its own post!)
There are genetic tests that can help you find out which vitamins your body cannot methylate, but they can be costly. OR you can supplement with a high-quality multivitamin to ensure your body is getting everything it needs to grow healthy.
High quality vitamins can add life to your years, and years to your life!
